t F85 6501 © COUNCIL DELAYS DECISION Alderman §S A move by Ald. Gilbert Mur- doch to sack city personnel ad- visers, Warnock, Hersey Man- agement Consultants Ltd., Tor- onto, found wide support among members at last night's meet- ing. ; "T have no confidence in them to make any particular job evaluation in this city," he said, "and the confidence of any em- ployee has been substantially undermined by the unsatisfac- tory explanation made before this council last Wednesday." Ald. Murdoch was_ referring to the explanation given by Donald Brown, one of the firm's consultants, who returned to amplify statement he made in i August regarding overtime earnings of city engineers and allegations of 'padding.' At Wednesday's meeting, Mr. Brown and William Isaac, a senior member of the firm, agreed to confer about submis- sion of a letter of apology. | Mayor Ernest Marks then said the council would like to re- ALD. PAYNTER ALD. MURDOCH uggests Sac other municipalities on the staffing of their public works departments, was adopted. Con. Shaw protested vigor- ously against this action, and declared she was going to "chuck the whole thing up." As Ald. Murdoch moved that the contract be terminated "forthwith" Con. Shaw _ inter- rupted: "I have sat here for nearly 10 years and I have never seen such a dirty miser- able thing done to any firm or company." Ald. Murdoch said angrily no member of council was al- lowed to make derogatory re- marks about another member of council and asked that action be taken against Con. Shaw under the terms of the Municipal Act. "She is entitled to oppose the motion but she is not entitled to say it is a low procedure," he declared "and she is not en- titled to make any preamble CONTROLLER SHAW CRITICIZED ing City Personnel Advisers CON. SHAW said. "If you express your views you are put in jail. If I cannot speak my mind it is an end of democracy in this country." Seconding Ald. Murdoch's motion, Ald. Charles Mcllveen said Mr. Brown admitted he did not make a proper investigation of the accusations he had made on excess overtime and padding. "We heard that the engineer and the engineer's family were hurt by this," he said. 'After listening for about four hours, 4 questions were unanswered, Heads of departments and our whole staff could not go on and work in harmony with this man." Ald. Gordon Attersley said he thought if the period of time of the contract was up, it should be terminated. Aldermen Alice Reardon and Ernie Whiting also supported the move. Introducing his motion Mayor Ernest Marks said the engineer- | MAYOR MARKS could not get 15 to answer any more quickly. "I have not got the amount of money. where I can go round and collect them,' she added. "I think it is very unfair. I will not be pressurized, If I was wrong I would be the first one to admit it." "I think before you make any allegiations you should have the * proof in front of you," said Ald. , Mcliveen. "I do not think we should be able to stand up here and make political blinks and not have to prove them." "You should be prepared to resign if you cannot support these accusations," said Ald. Whiting. When later Ald. Shaw insisted that "she was through," Ald. William Paynter made one of the most heated interjections.

CANVASSES COUNCIL Community Chest Target $358,000 A Community Chest target of $358,000 for 1967 was announced last night by Terence Kelly, campaign chairman, at cily Hall. Introduced as the campaig:t chairman for this year by Fd- ward Cline, president of the board of directors, before the city council meeting began, Mr. Kelly said the board had indi- cated he should start at the top with the mayor. . "It is extremely necessary we have a successful campaign this year,"' said Mr. Kelly, add- ing that the campaign dates this year would be during the month of October. Following the lead of the mayor, completed pledge cards were submitted by contrvilers and aldermen. Mr. Marks said pledges from the board of con- trol and council would be turn- ed over to the Chest later in the week. City clerk Roy Barrand said ' a canvass of his department had realized donations 30 per cent higher than those made in 1966. Mr. Kelly said 20 agencies looked to the Chest for support to help the less fortunate in the community. "Any person in the city might need the help of the Chest within a year,"' he said. 'Probably the blood donor clinie is one of the best examples." He appealed to. citizens to give a little more this year to ? make the community a much better place in which to live. Mr, Kelly said today the tar- get this year is up $22,000, mainly because of the expand- ed work of agencies -- but that the target is not as high as the Chest budgeting committee certified was needed by agen- cies, Twelve Chest agencies will hold. an open house Sept. 30 and the campaign kick-off. din- ner will be 'held at the Boys' Club, Oct. 2, More than 300 Rotarians from 32 clubs in: this sec- tion of the province at- tended the annual Friend- ship Day held Monday by the Rotary Club of Oshawa, MANY ROTARIANS ATTEND ANNUAL FRIENDSHIP DAY The visitors played golf at the Oshawa Golf and Coun- try Club, bowled at the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club, attended a reception at Parkwood and dined at Ernest Marks at the din- ner; Kenneth Crone, presi- dent of the local club and the Carousel Inn.
