The terms designate the! urgency with which the streets must be. cleared of snow. The main city streets -- "arteries" -- are first on the priority list. The small local '"'residential" streets are last to be cleared and the 'collector' roads which join the two are second, In addition, the city is divided, into 24 areas of roughly equal road miles. This helps in the allocation of equipment and the control of clearing operations. The key to a successful snow removal is a "planned attack' which starts when the Dominion) dicates a storm heading for Oshawa and ends when the last! ton of snow is carted away from the downtown area. | The works-yard on Ritson| Chrysler Workers In Ajax May Strike In Seven Days crises 'sun's AJAX (Staff) -- About 1,000 workers al Chrysler's Canadian Automotive Trim plant here will keep working for at Jeast another week--but strike pros- pects are growing. The United Auto Workers' union is set to strike Chrysler plants in the United States when contracts expire at mid- night tonight. Contracts for Canadian Chrysler workers do not expire for another week. George Burt, Canadian UAW regional director, has promised that Chrysler workers in Can- ada will set a union precedent by going on strike simultane- ously. Canadian workers in Chrys- ler plants took an almost unan- imous strike vote Sunday. In Ajax, 97.5 per cent of 480 Local 1090, UAW, members who voted were in favor of a strike next week if there is no hint of a settlement, CITY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CREWS, EQUIPMENT READY FOR ACTION WORKS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ALD.
