Mr. Nixon, who arrived by = car after addressing a Toronto © meeting, followed Ontario South Liberal candidate Alban Ward in his speech and told an auji- ence of more than 100 that On- tario had no centennial project at all. He said he flew over the $30,- 000,000 museum the _ govern- ment said is the provincial proj- ect but added that it would not be opened until 1969. Mr, Nixon said it was a typical exampie of poor planning and leader: ship, especially since the gov- ernment had 100 years to pre- pare for the project. He said the provincial gov- ernment did not need a minister of transport as well as a minis- ter of highways, adding that as individuals, it could do with- out both men. The Liberal Jeader said more good roads were needed in the province and lamented the fact that the Macdonald Cartier Freeway had not yet been com- pleted to Montreal. He said 15 deaths had occurred in the past year on the single lane portion of the uncompleted highway. Mr. Nixon said the Trans- Canada Highway across On- tario was inadequate and that access to the federal capi- tal was not yet competled. He said the completion of any of these projects would have meant a meaningful centennial project for Ontario. EXTEND G0? When asked by The Times after the meeting if he believed the GO commuter service should be extended to Oshawa, Mr. Nixon said he would make no promises but that it sound- ed like a reasonable move to him. He said commuter serv- ices should also be fanned out to the areas north-east and| north-west of Toronto in the near future.

The Liberal leader said swim-} ly concerned in building indus- try across the province and not just in three or four other cen- tres while other areas stag- nated.

As a result, he claimed, some communities had every- thing to offer except the grow- ing economic opportunity that was so desperately needed. INADEQUATE FUNDS Mr. Nixon said the govern- ment was providing inadequate funds for regional redevelop- ment, The Liberal leader called for more federal - provincial land assembly programs for housing and for regional governments on the outskirts of metro to en- sure proper planning proce- dures. He said at the present time only 150 of the province's 974 municipalities had official plans. "My most important point 1s this, The Conservatives expect others to plan for the future yet they do not have a provincial planning policy for the com- munity of Ontario,' he said. "Fine communities are not created by accident. They will only come about when Ontario gets a co-ordinated, overall pol- icy to guide future growth. Without such a policy," said Mr. Nixon, "'we may never re- alize the full benefits of On- tario's economic strength."

The chief said that he was aware there are a large num- ber of unregistered hand guns in the Oshawa area. Many of these are Lugers and other tro- phies brought back from the wars as souvenirs, There are also a considerable number of weapons which were registered prior to 1950, but this registration has run out. He explained that it was only in 1950 that registrations for hand guns became permanent and thus a gun registered in, for example 1949, is no longer reg- istered unless the owner has come forward since then and obtained permanent registra- tion, The chief would like the own- ers of these weapons to con- tact the Oshawa police, who will then make arrangements for the gun to be transported to the police station where it can be permanently registered.

Inquest Into Whitby Death Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck says an inquest will be held Nov. 1 into the death of Sandra Island, whose body was found on the shore of Lake Ontario at Whitby on Sept. 21. Miss Island, 25, and Kemal Karpuz, also 25, were last seen when they got out of a taxi near the Whitby harbor Sept. 18. Originally from Campbell- ford, Miss Island was a kinder- garten teacher at King Street mechanic it was agreed one of the substitute cars, of only six cylinders, would not be suitable for work of the fire department, because of its emergency needs, and recommended purchase of a new vehicle. "T still don't agree," said Con. ic "There is a pretty strong con- demnation of a_ six-cylinder vehicle," said Mr. Marks. "If you want to go through t red lights at 80 miles an hour," replied Con. Nicol, 'then you must take cars from the exist- ing pool." Con. Shaw said when police or fire department cars stopped at a red light, somebody's life might be lost. "If you are on an economy move, you must go along with this," retorted Con. Nicol.

Mar- garet Shaw probably saved the life of an 18-month-old baby girl, Mayor Ernest Marks said at the board of control meeting Thursday. He congratulated Con. Shaw on her action, which he said he had discovered by accident when visiting a family on Queen Street. Mayor Marks said the house- holder, Mrs. Tompkins, told him her daughter was choking when Mrs. Shaw came along in her car and rushed the baby to the police station, from where she was taken to Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital. "It was a very brave act and I would like to compliment you for your presence of mind," he added. Afterwards, Con. Shaw said school in Whitby.

"I know we have to take a stand on equipment." he added, "but I would hate to be responsible for something as im- portant as this." "It always amazes me that they must have this year what they could do without two years ago," said Con. Ralph Jones, "but in this instance, I think I would go along with it." Con.

"What does education mean? What does protection of persons and property mean? What does social services mean?" he de- manded.

BUDGETING The idea, he said, was to pro- |vide a clear idea of what bud- geting meant so that they, the decision makers, could have a clear idea of what department programs were being put be- fore them and what the costs were, "Before you decide measured and evaluated." The essence of their function, he said, was contained in the words of the Glassco Report -- "Let the managers manage. "You must put first things first." The local structure, he said, returning to his blackboard and bringing the Municipal Act to life, was for the standing com- mittees to confer with department heads with the treasurer's department acting as advisers in the wings. Recommendations were then taken to board of control, which in turn reported their findings to council, which was ultimate- ly responsible to the people. The idea, he said, was for all levels of management, and these were the levels of man- A edecision on city policy for road widening was tabled by board of control Thursday until the next meeting. Mayor Ernest Marks said a letter from Westland A. Smith of 540 Mary St. E., Whitby, which recently appeared in The shawa Times, seemed to sum In his letter, Mr. Smith said: "The tactics (taking land with- out compensation) are neither legal nor ethical. It is blatantly obvious that it is wrong to co- jerce a man to give up his prop- jerty free of charge. If the property. is required for the good of the public, it should be acquired in an open and above board manner." The board was discussing future road requirements on the Frastacky property, on the industrial estate, which was sold by the city 10 years ago. Robert Richardson, deputy commissioner of works, said evidence from the minutes showed it was the policy of the city to acquire land in this man- ner as required for road widen- ing. He said enquiries made earl- ier this year showed there were 11 municipalities who required land for road widening to be deeded to them without for both a visitors' book and the plaques charge. In some cases, they nego- Road Widening Decision Tabled By Control Board tiated when extra widths were required. He said if a landowner re- quested rezoning and was get- ting some advantage, the city was not getting something for nothing, but only something in return for the zoning.

Identification of the funda- mental objectives of the city. "Do you just want to provide the same services which have been given for the last 25 years, or do you want to get into some meaty and challeng- ing problems?" 2. Projection of programs inte the future, so that budgeting was a continuous system. 3. Consideration of all rele- vant costs of the program, in- cluding capital outlay. "Oshawa now has a $20,000,< people, the ultimate decision must make intelligent and be judged by m. "If Monday night is to be a get-together session you are de- luding the people." For education, he said, $6.1 million was allocated to the budget, for the protection of persons and property $2.1 mil- lion was allowed, while $1.2 million went to the social serv- ices department. He thought members should make them. the jservices provided by these var- ious departments. "Give them great considera- tion before you finally sit down and decide whether you want to hold the line of expense or channel more money into it. "Standing committees will jachieve great results if they |have a clear idea of their ob- |jectives."" BUDGET SYSTEMS Budget systems, said Mr. Markson should be eble to project programs into the fue ture, and programs started five years ago might require consid- erable amendment as the years went by. "The city must get into the habit of visualizing operating jexpenditures over five or six jyears." He said that General Motors did not plan their 1968 models in 1968 but probably early in 1965, 1966 or 1967, "When you are dealing with ja $20,000,000 budget it is your |responsibility to see that it is jplanned properly. take a long-range look at the| . Always plan for positive problem and determine what oaead and have the yardstick ahead." traffic problems would be, and then determine road widths. Roads might be planned on the Frastacky property and then it would be found they were in the wrong place. Planning director G. A. Wandless said the policy of subdividers providing streets without charge had saved the city a great deal of money over the years. Nothing had been, done wth the Frastacky property for 10 years, he said, but circum- stances had now changed and a cement works was being planned. He suggested special consid- eration should be given to in- dustrial development and the 10-foot maximum, and anything else should be paid for. The legal position, according to Ontario Municipal Board hearing, said city © solicitor Hugh Couch; was if a city had a declared policy: on arterial He said he thought it would also be a good idea if council members\did not just stick to their own standing committees jbut had a look at what went on in others to get an overall pic- ture of the general scene. Another of his suggestions was that there should not be so much hostility between the board of control and council. "Adopt an attitude of co-opera- tion not confrontation," he said. Budgeting, he told council members, was a_ continuous process. "It's a pity we have the calendar dividing line. The city knows no calendar -- it just keeps going." He pointed out that although a formal budget presented each year had a dazzling array of figures, showing the amounts allocated to each department, it did not explain if the money was to be spent in that depart- ment in a worthwhile manner, and that was one of the areas roads, it was entitled to pick|where members could be prof- and choose the streets. itably employed,
