"Better than the city hall," commented Mayor' Ernest Marks. Chief Johnston presented three sets of forecast for the buildings as the department's capital budget forecast for 1968. He said he had only receiv- ed the figures 15 minutes ear- lier and had had a little time to get over the shock. The three estimates were for three different sites - one in the downtown area, one on King Street East and one in the Stevenson Road area. He did not pinpoint the three sites but referred to general areas. DOWNTOWN The downtown site, which would depend on development of the urban renewal scheme and the construction of the parking garage, had a_ mini- mum lot requirement of 77,500 square feet, with a lot cost of $400,000 and a building cost of $2,620,000. There would be no public parking but underground parking for police vehicles and staff only. The King Street site, in the school area, envisaged an area of 92,000 square feet with a lot cost of $300,000 and a building cost of $2,646,000. There would be some underground parking and some surface parking, with The Stevenson Road site the cost 'POLICE-COURT COMPLEX MAY COST $3020,000 would come from he Oshawa Cimes would cover 200,00 square feet with a lot cost of $250,000 and a building cost of $2,088,000 with ample parking space for all purposes. "It. will be a pleasure to go to jail,' commented Con. Rob- ert Nicol. "It always is,' replied Chief Johnston. He said a combined building was proposed of police and court offices, and if it were built downtown 75 per cent of grants. There would be no landscap- ing and no public parking. "It is vital to provide ade- quate public parking," said Mayor Marks.

"We ane sub-standard in this|to establish priorities. The jong heralded scheme to convert the creek valley into parkland took concrete form yesterday for the first time with a proposal to spend $50,000 on developing the area between John and Gibb Streets. On July 24 city council de- cided it would acquire valley land for park purposes as it became available. Yesterday Ald. Dr. Charles Mcllveen, chairman of parks and property committee, who made the submission to board of control, was present- ing the department's five-year capital budget forecast. An estimate of $145,000 for the five-year period was put forward, with $50,000 set aside for 1968, but this does not in- clude land prices. PRIORITIES Norman Savoy, deputy plan- ning director, said after the meeting the proposal was a re- finement by his department of the Oshawa Creek Valley _Te- port by consultants, Project Planners, made in May, 1966. Representatives from the firm had been in Oshawa recently and had worked with the de- partment to establish a system of priorities. : In the 1966 report, he said, Project Planners, had made provision for the centennial parkway, but they also. took into account the possibility of adjustments to parks and play- ing fields if the parkway did not go through. Mr. Savoy said it was felt that some of the tableland area, previously designated as parkland, including part of the Ralna subdivision, would be better employed for building purposes than parkland. PARKS NEEDED : Action shoiild be taken right away, urged Ald. Mcllveen. "Parks are badly needed in the Gibb and John Street area.

Going over the proposals on a map, Mr. Savoy said it was a beautiful creek, and an asset to the city. "We are blessed with it," he declared. "A lot of cities do not have it." "I aim very pleased to hear somebody say it,'"' said Mayor Ernest Marks. "I am in com- plete agreement. It is beauti- ful." City treasurer, Frank Mark- son, said it was the first time the planning people had been involved in a capital budget and it augured well for the future. For 1968, 33.7 acres were aim- ed at, in 1969, 60 acres and an- other 60 in 1970. The plan should be as flex- ible as possible, he added, de- pending on the availability of land. Priorities had been set by Project. Planners and it had decided the area in the centre of the city between Gibb and John Streets should be dealt with first. Next came the 'problem' areas, the cottage section in the north of the city and the for- mer Barnhart property in the south. "We might capture urban and federal assistance there," he said. The five-year plan would cover approximately 343 acres and the conservation authority, which is now taking a more active participation in the city's proposals, might contribute 50 per cent of the cost. "We hope they will come in on the valley land project,' he Mr. Savoy said the present said. WHITBY (Staff) -- The dis- pute between the Town of Whit- by and the Consumers' Gas Company is settled -- for the moment. Following the Supreme Court hearing last week when the town protested extensions be- ing made to the supply set-up though the company's fran- chise had run out, the comp- any agreed to supply the town with the complete plans, speci- fications and drawings of the distribution system to' enable the town to ascertain the ex- temt of the set-up inside the town limits. Ihe agreement was reached at a second hearing in Toron- to yesterday and the informa- "-m is to be supplied by Jan. _ a She company also agreed not to make any extensions of mod- ifications to the existing sys- tem without supplying the town Company, Union Continue Talks Toronto (Staff) -- The Unit- ed Auto Workers' union met to- day with Genera: Motors of Can- ada for the first round of mas- ter contract negotiations since the company handed down an initial package of economic pro- posals eight days ago.

No new customers may be ad- ded to the system without writ- ten permission from the town beforehand. For its part, the town agrees not to withhold permission un- reasonably but if there is a disagreement both parties have agreed to abide by the ruling of Gore and Storrie, consulting engineers in Toronto. Meanwhile the company will pay the town's $6,000 legal and engineering fees resulting from the action. FRANCHISE This settlement does not take care of the main outstanding point of argument -- that the company is operating without a franchise. This is to be settled in a further Supreme Court ac- tion next year as is the question of ownership of the distribution system. Making the settlement Mr. Justice Richardson' urges the parties to get together and thrash out these outstanding differences at the earliest pos- sible opportunity. The agreement is subject to ratification by Whitby council. It will be among the first things handled by the new town's council. "We will have to have a ser ies of meetings on this wiih the company," says town cler HAROLD McNEILL » e « Valuable Service Centennial Medal Won Harold W. McNeill, executive director of Simcoe Hall Settle- ment House for 20 years, has been awarded a_ centennial medal by the Canadian govern- ment for valuable service to the nation. Mr. McNeill is director of Simcoe Hall Boys' Club and the Crippled Children's School and Treatment Centre. He is also acting as judge in family court for the late F. §.
