G. L. Roberts, superintendent of secondary schools, and J. R. Backus, board business admin- istrator, were authorized to in- vestigate the governments' fi- architect's fee. The board received a letter} E. L. Kerridge of the On- Manpower retraining pro- gram giving the board permis- sion to hire an architect to. pre- pare plans for a new centre. But, trustees had only re- quested the hiring of an archi- tect to further investigate a new centre. In discussing Mr. Kerridge's letter, trustees decided it was premature, since the financial arrangements between the fed- eral and provincial govern- and determine if it is safe for the board to 'invest the money in hiring an architect. A-new retraining centre has been under discussion for more than a year. Retraining courses are conducted in an Albert Street building which bas been called "too small", Classes are also held at night at McLaugh- lin and Eastdale Collegiates, Preliminary discussions on a new centre have indicated a need for a building of factory- type construction, covering about 57,000 square feet.

Town, Township Officials OMB Will App Merger Plans Outlined; Hearing Continues Today WHITBY (Staff) -- Most offi- cials of Whitby and Whitby Township are optimistic today that amalgamation of the two municipalities will be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. The officials base their opti- mism on the stand taken yester- day by the City of Oshawa, ex- pected to be the major objector, at the OMB hearing in the Whit- by municipal building. Toronto lawyer J. J. Robin- ette, representing the city, con- fined his remarks to "sounding a warning note," asking whether the amalgamated mu- nicipality would be able to fi- nance development of the corri- dor area between Oshawa and Whitby and noting that amalga- mation is not a "long-term solu- tion' to the regional problem. Mr. Robinette said yesterday he did not intend to call any evidence but might speak later in the hearing. He left the hear- ing before it concluded. The second day of the hearing opened at 10 a.m. today with in- dividual objections expected tol. be heard. DETAILED DATA Toronto lawyer J. T. Weir, | representing the town and town- ship, told the OMB yesterday that no application before the board had ever had such de- tailed information. He asked the OMB to approve amalgamation as of Jan. 1, 1968. Various offi- cials were called to discuss the results of amalgamation. Also appearing in support of amalgamation was lawyer Don- ald Steele, representing the County of Ontario. Township clerk William Wal- lace was questioned by Mr. Weir on all aspects of the appli- cation and read into the record most of the submission by the town and township for amalga- mation which was passed by both councils last Wednesday night. | Town Clerk John Frost out- lined the five-year projected Sanitary sewer staging program which included local sewers in the corridor resi ial area in pe offset by a reduction in the cost of electricity when the new town takes over the rural elec- trical system from the Ontario Hydro at a cost of $900,000. WARD SYSTEM The town and township sub- mission included the proposed four ward system for the new municipality with one ward north of Taunton Road and three wards in the south, each including part of the town and township. Two councillors would be elected from each ward along with a mayor, reeve and deputy reeve to be elected at large. PLANNING The planning boards of both municipalities recommended to- tal amalgamation for the best and most economic use of the land, the integration of the major road systems and the more economigf extension of trunk services, that on amalga- ards be dissolved to establish a planning hoard consisting of the mayor as a member ex-officio and 10 mem- bers, two of whom shall members of council. LIBRARY The public library boards of the town and township submit- ted that the new board under amalgamation be "The Whitby Library Board" and that the board be composed of three ap- pointees of council, three ap- pointees of the school board and two by the separate school board along with the mayor ex- officio. The board also recom- mended that the new board re- flect the present members of both boards and that a fully qualified librarian be hired to act as chief executive officer of the combined libraries. be| arenas in jand would be comprised of nine ere rove Amalg ptimistic amation MORE THAN 100 PERSONS ATTEND AMALGAMATION HEARING IN WHITBY COUNCIL CHAMBER « « .

GOVERNMENT GRANTS AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT City Has Tentative Approval For Purchase The department of transport lengthen two runways and build in Ontario and ascertain the He says t here will be a need made a recommendation to city has tentatively approved an Oshawa municipal request to buy the federally-owned Osh- awa airport for $56,000, airport peg hg George A. Slocombe, sai The deal has been in the works for about a year, and, if given final consent, would en- title Oshawa to qualify for sub- stantial federal grants under a local cirports' improvement fund. Mr. Slocombe says that be- cause the airport is leased from the federal landlord at $1 a year (a grant in itself) plans te more parking spaces are being stymied. However, if the city is grant- ed the right to buy the airport, it will get a crack at a share of the $1,000,000 Ottawa fund. Whether the department ac- cepts the city's bid for purchase now hinges on a city report to the .government which must prove a need for airport re- development and expansions. Yesterday, board of control took an initial stride in proving its case by directing Mr. Slo- combe to approach several air- port-oriented consulting firms A cost of drawing up the report. Mr. Slocombe would not name the firms he has in mind. LONGER RUNWAYS He told the board the air- port's major need is for a 5,000- foot runway to handle larger aircraft now replacing smaller ones in the field of commercial flying. The longer runway would amount to a 1,500-foot extension to a 3,500-foot landing strip the airport now has, but which Mr. Slocombe suggested is becom- ing obsolete. for an extension of a 2,600-foot runway to 4,000 feet in the fu- ture, and more parking spaces, He could make no cost esti- mate. Mr. Slocombe said if the city hires a consulting firm for an analysis on the airport the re- sulting report to the federal government may incorporate approximate improvement fig- ures. Mr. Slocombe says that once the changes are made "it may attract other people in (to the airport) to build hangars'. Board of control has alse council that a "recreation build- ing and an old house" on the 485-acre airport property be de- clared surplus and ordered re- moved by the federal govern- ment. There is some indication the airport's surroundings may warrant consideration 'as a po- tential industrial base. James Williams, Oshawa Business and Industrial Commission chief, told the board a study should be done on an "'economic basis" with consideration given to pos- sible industrial park develop- ments, | Outdoor Show Tuesday Night Oshawa residents will once again get an opportunity to relax outside, while listening to orchestra music, on Tuesday night at 8.30, when director Bernard Tierney and his 13- piece group present the second of six outdoor concerts at the McLaughlin Band shell in Memorial Park. Their first performance, last Tuesday evening, was well re- ceived by the several hundred who attended. This week, the group will have Jack McLean, a come- dian, as the guest star. He has just returned from a tour of the Yukon. The concerts are sponsored by the Toronto. Musicans' Association through a _ grant from the Radio and Transcrip- tion Trust Fund, and by Gen- eral Motors of Canada Ltd. "Rescuing | Great Crowd of Mankind red of Canada. One proposed site is just jsouth of the present city hall on Queen Street and the other is the south-east corner of Bagot and Centre streets, NO DECISIONS There was no final decision. The board found several draw- backs in both proposals and left the matter of a definite site to be settled between archi- tects of the civic square, the gallery, civic and McLaughlin family officials. Mayor Ernest Marks told the board he thought the city could find a "place for the gallery in the city hall complex' and that it would do '"'justice to the gallery." Both the mayor and Mr. Mc- Laughlin favored the. Queen Street site while city con- trollers fell into a general de- bate on drawbacks. | OBSCURE | Con.

Robert Nicol agreed but said if money was going to be a problem, then the "architect should go back to site three (Queen Street)." planned school yard expansion |near the proposed gallery site on Queen wouldn't do much to enhance the exhibition centre. Another problem? If the now defunct plans for a parkway in the Oshawa Creek Valley are suddenly revived, the gal- lery would be partly sitting on expressway territory. Heaviest burden over the Bagot and Centre streets site would be a lack of oarking and expectations that it would cost expectations that it would cost more than $100,000 to ex- propriate several properties to clear the way.

MAYOR'S MOTION At this stage, Mayor Ernest Marks rose to submit a tempo- rary motion which he said might meet the circumstances. This read: "That temporary parking be permitted for the residents on the west side of Simcoe Street from Alexandra Park to Buck. ingham, in the area west of the fence, subject to details being worked out by the commission- er of works, Mr. Crome." After further debate, in which it was suggested police would have difficulty in con- trolling the situation, council adopted the mayor's temporary motion. Land Gift Appreciated A special letter of thanks is to be sent to Col. R. S. McLaughlin by city council for his gift of land worth $25,000 at the corner of Adelaide and Sim- coe Streets, used for road widening. Council adopted the motion, put by Mayor Ernest Marks, after a recommendation from the public works committee for replanting, etc., of the front lawn after the work has been completed. "T don't think this generous gift has been sufficiently ac- knowledged," said the mayor, "and we should let it be known how we feel."
