Howard Phillips, Toronto so- licitor, appearing before the board late yesterday afternoon for Parkad Apartments Ltd., said work on the 10 - storey apartment block on Simcoe Street North near Adelaide Av- enue would cease today if the money was not released by the Royal Trust Company. "We are up to the top and ready to pour the roof", he said. Mr. Phillips said the trust jlease the money, which was jthe only mortgage payment the }company would have received |so far, but the guarantors, Cen- |tral Mortgage and Housing Cor- |poration, had flatly refused to allow this because of "clause four' in the site plan agree- ment. He said this was a restrict- ive clause inserted by city so- licitor H. J. Couch, and the effect was that the builder could not transfer ownership or part ownership of the building until the requirements of the site plan agreement had been met or un- less the mortgage entered into firm was quite willing to re- ity and thus become part owner. In other words that the owner would not transfer, com- mit o1 otherwise deal with the land before the apartment had been completed. He said he had misgivings a t the time the contract was signed but: his client had taken the attitude that Oshawa want- ed the apartments and if any snags arose city council would deal with them. Now, however, CMHC, had dug in its heels and flatly re- fused to allow release of the |first mortgage payment unless "clause four'? was deleted from agreement to take responsibil- College Sewer Decision Recommended To Board The city should not pay the cost of a trunk sewer to Dur- ham College, council's public works committee decided last night . Instead the college should meet the full cost and be re- imbursed for one half by the city over a 10-year period Full text of the recommenda- tion to board of control, mov- ed by Ald, James Rundle, was as follows: "That the college pay the entire cost at this time of the extension of the sewer from Switzer Drive to the col- lege site and the city will re- imburse Durham College for one-half the cost of the exten- sion of the sewer within the city limits over a 10-year per-; iod, provided there are no in- terest charges to the city for) this financing, and provided| further that the college be the only user of the sewer service outside the city limits, and also that the design of the sewer be subject to the approval of the City of Oshawa." Robert Richardson, deputy commissioner of works, gave three suggestions for financing the extension, total cost. of which, he said would be ap- proximately $229,000. First suggestion was for fi- nancing on the size of the pip- ing, secondly on a flow basis and thirdly using a sub-divi- sion formula of $5 a foot. There was a strong argument for the first two systems, said Mr. Richardson, which provid- ed a very reasonable approach from the college's point of view. The subdivision formula would cost the college $94,000 and the city $135,000. Fair Attendance Near 20,000 Mark Attendance at the Oshawa Fair, 19,873 was about 1,000 more than last year and last year was a record for 12 years, says Mrs. Gordon D. Brown, secretary- treasurer of South Ontario Agri- cultur al Society, sponsors of the fall fair. The attendance was made up of 11,050 adults and 8,823 child- ren. Mrs. Brown said fair officials had hoped to reach the 25,000 mark but a complete washout of opening night by rain eliminated all chance of this. Had it not been for the rain, Mrs. Brown suggest- ed the figure would have been reached. attendance for the three days to back up her claim. Attendance by adults on Thursday was only 1,636 while on Friday and Sat- urday the numbers increased to 4,528 and 4,886 respectively. Despite not reaching the an- ticipated attendance,, Mrs. Brown said the fair was quite successful and that all the com- ments she had heard were about the fair and the midway being cleaner and larger. Next year she said she hoped the fair would be larger with a number of improvements and possibly new buildings.

It was a matter of great ur- gency if work were to continue on the building, he said, Mr. Phillips said he had been jassured by Mr. Couch that the agreement signed was a stand- ard agreement of the type al- (Mr. Phillips) had never come clause in it. City clerk L. R. Barrand, said the board was only a rec- ommending body and the mat- ter would have to be decided by council. Mr. Couch is on vaca- tion and could not be reached for comment. In view of the urgency of the problem Con. Frank McCallum, chairman at the board meeting, said the only solution would be to call a special meeting of council for that evening and put it before them. Con. Mar- garet Shaw pointed out that 24 hours notice was required for agreed thatcouncil should be called for a meeting that even- ing to deal with the matter. Appealing for legal advice at th e council meeting in the ab- sence of the city solicitor, Mayor Ernest Marks was told by Ald. Gilbert Murdoch, a lawyer, the clause meant the mortgagors could forclose, but at this stage of construction he did not think they would. "If they did they would become owners of the property," he said, 'and! CMHC is not willing that this should happen." Mayor. Marks said a lot of money was involved and the contractors seemed to be com- ing to the council in good faith. prised that CMHC was making the objection. Council passed a bylaw, drawn by Mr. Phillips, authorizing the exemption of the Royal Trust Company from th e terms of the site plan agree- ment between Parkad Apart- ments Ltd., as owner and the City of Oshawa and Park Lane Towers (Oshawa) Ltd. Mr. Phillips said this would meet the demands of CMHC and enable the Royal Trust Com- pany to release the funds. ways used by the city but he} across one with this type of| a council meeting. Controllers) MISHAPS BOOST BLOOD DEMANDS This year's high rate of summer accidents prompts an urgent need for blood donations, says Robert Stroud, chairman of the Red Cross blood donor clinic. "Some people lose a tre- | mendous amount of blood in | car accidents and to replace it requires a healthy blood bank," said Mr. Stroud. Clinie officials are hoping to collect about 500 pints of blood in the clinic at St. Gregory's Auditorium, Sim- coe Street North this Thurs- day. Hours for the one-day clinic are from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The chairman says nearly 60 donors discontinue giving blood each month for reasons of age, moves, disease, death or personal reasons. "That's why we need new blood donors all the time," said Mr. Stroud. , Stay in Bowmanville. 'CARAVAN LINE- The best time to see the Cen- tennial Caravan, visiting Alex- andra Park for 10 days start- ing today, is mid-afternoon or early evening, according to as- - sistant manager of the caravan, Thomas Grady. He said the biggest line-ups are al the opening in the morn- ing and after the dinner hour. The caravan arrived at 8.30 a.m today from a three-day By 10 a.m. it was set up and, except for some cleaning on the in- side, was ready to open. Mayor Ernest Marks official- ly opened the caravan at 11 a.m. In Bowmanville the caravan accommodated 16,200 visitors. When it was designed, a max- imura of 500 people per hour, or 6,000 in the 12 hours it is open between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m., were expected to pass through but this number is constantly being passed. Since the caravan started its emer nine UP STARTS HOUR EARLY tour of Ontario it has received almost 500,000 visitors. » First people in line at 10 a.m. were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ed- wards and their three children Christine, 10, Stephen, 12 and Frank, 15. They didn't intend to be first in line -- they merely came early so they wouldn't get stuck at the back of the line. Jim Walley, 14, had different ideas. He came a little after 8.30 a.m. so he could be first in line. But while he and two friends, Donald Montgomery, 12 and David Rudniski, 13, who joined him an hour later, lazed on the grass, the lineup formed without them. Most of those who arrived early were surprised at how few people were there. "When I arrived at 9:30 a.m. I thought I was late."' said Donald. "I ex- pected a line stretching all the way across the field."' At 10 a.m. there were less than a dozen people waiting for the 11 a.m. opening.
