TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1981 A DIRECT CHALLENGE The city council at its meeting last night, {ssued a direct challenge to those who have in recent months, been making serious charges against civic officials and depart- ments of the city's administration. A re- ~ solution passed by the council, without a dis- : senting voice, calls upon those who have any "information on which charges can be based "to submit these charges in writing, so that ~ they can be fully investigated by the coun- cil. The resolution expressed the desire of ~ » the council to have a complete investigation . as soon as there is anything to investigate, which is a logical stand to take. This resolution places the responsibility squarely on those who have been making charges and uttering veiled hints of alleged wrongdoing to come out into the open and make their charges in a proper manner. Ru- mors will not do, hearsay stories will have no . recognition. But if charges backed by de- finite information are forthcoming, then the Council will authorize the necessary investi- gation. This challenge, to use a slang expression which was popular a few years ago, calls on those who have been making complaints to either "put up or shut up." There are no strings to the council's invitation. It is worded in broad terms. It gives the under- taking of an investigation if the charges are submitted in writing to the city clerk or His Worship the Mayor. If those who have been making the charges against civic employees have the courage of their convictions, if they have information to support these charges, or if they are sincere in their assertions, they will welcome the opportunity to force the investigation which has been so loudly demanded. The next move is in their hands. It remains to be seen whether they will * make it. THE LAKEVIEW GARDENS BRIDGE Once again the city council has appointed a special committee to investigate the whole Lakeview Gardens bridge situation, and to bring a report before the city council. This has been done before, but the results have never been satisfactory to the people living in the Lakeview Gardens area, the people who are vitally concerned in having this bridge as a means of securing an easy means of access to the city proper. It is to be hoped that the new committee + will succeed where others have failed. One can feel sure that they will at least make an Ahonest effort to solve the problem, which is - one centred on the securing of a proper right of way over the property involved in the construction of ¢ bridge. One hopeful sign is that two of the committee members are aldermen from the Cedardale Ward. The people there have been insistent in their de- mands for a bridge, and they can rest assur- ed that if it is possible to make the neces- sary arrangements, the representatives from their own ward will see that it is built. DRASTIC ACTION PROMISED Mayor Marks did not mince words in his address to the Oshawa Rotary Club yester- day, when "e said that there were people in the city, ratepayers, who preferred to leave their taxes unpaid, although they were well "able to pay them, and to finance their busi- ; or. investments, with money which lon d to the city, at a rate of five be percant, rather than paying. their taxes and 7 securing money required for business the regular banking channels. May- Marks stated emphatically that drastic steps would be taken to compel these rate- 'i payers to pay their taxes. If his assertion that people are doing this . can be justified by the facts, and one cannot imagine the mayor making this assertion un- Jess he were sure of his ground, then drastic . The city at the present under a grave handicap be- ears. True, it has been be- lieved that this has been due to the depres- ged conditions, to the inability of property- owners to find the money to pay their taxes, The mayor, however, believes that there are many who have the money, but who are aply laughing up their sleeves, using it other purposes, and letting the city le for its taxes. This col is worthy condemnation hy the present cir- , and if there is any way in which ean ea, a taken to compel payment of by these ratepayers, then that system should be invoked without delay. ent, ! EDITORIAL NOTES Ald. Hawkes and Ald. Luke had the courage of their convictions at last night's council meeting, when they votéd alone to hold council meetings only once a month. The fact that the council argued for twenty minutes over an expenditure of $15 is proof of its desire to ire to practise economy. It might be a good thi thing for all concern- ed if the investigation suggested by the council into the various civic departments which have been attacked were to take place. It would at least show how much of the Shagges made was. rumor and how much was act. ' George Hezzlewood takes the palm as Oshawa's chief humorist. His play on the names of the city council was a real gem, as all who read it will agree. Lack of gold is at the root of the economic troubles in many countries. Here is a great opportunity for Ontario to bring back pros- perity by increasing its production of that precious metal. Ontario motorists are pouring their dollars into the provincial treasury just now. They have to get their new licenses in order to avoid paying an extra amount in the form of a police court fine. Wonder if all the Christmas bills will be paid before it is time to worry about the in- come tax statements. Eggs are selling at 24 to 26 cents a dozen in Western Ontario. It is astonishing how the cost of living is coming down these days. Other Editors' Comment | BRITISH BEEF (London Daily Telegraph) In spite of the heaviest depression which agricul ture has ever known there are some six million cattle and sixteen and a half million sheep on British farms, numbers well up to or above the avera Only pigs are decreasing. Well might Lord Guilford say that "live stock has always been the farmers' best friend"; it is now one of the two remaining hopes of agricul- ture, and the other, sugar beet, is threatened by the pedantic financial policy of the present Government. RADIO (Victoria Colonist) A correspondent says that radio manufacturers cannot realize the harm that is being done to their business by the character of advertising broadcasting he describes as not ¢ven "remotely interesting." This is the experience of the vast majority of radio users. They avoid listening to advertising talks and switch from station to station to escape them. The corres- ondent in question says he has had his present radio eighteen months and would like to buy one of the latest types, but " advertising broadcasting" pre- vents him from making the purchase.

EXAMINER, SAYS: "Has it ever oceurred to you that an advertisement in a news. paper is inserted for the benefit of the advertiser and not as a favor to the newspaper? "Not so very many years ago, most small nowspapers, weekly and daily, begged for advertising and received advertising from bankers: and merchants who gave it and at the same time impressed the editor that it was a favor to him. Nowadays the newspaper which would accept an advertisement on these terms is not worth the name of a newspaper. "The merchant or the manufac- turer or the man who inserts a want ad is not doing it from any philanthropic motive. He expects results. If the advertisement brings in the business or sells a cow or an automobile, it pays for itself many times over. "Has it ever occurred to you as a newspaper publisher that to asks for an advertisement as a fa- vor is to admit that the advertise. ment in your paper is not worth a thing from a business standpoint? "Has it ever occurred to you as an advertiser that when you get mad and stop your advertidement in ar; newspaper you are not hurt. ing the paper, but that you are taking money out of your own cash drawer and hurting your own busi- ness. If this is not true you are foolish to run an advertisement of any k™d at any price. "The newspaper can afford very handily not to rum your adver tisement, but you cannot afford not to advertise.

An- other reason fog the increase, he be- lieved was the coming into exitence of new agencies fo depoal of the goods.

Wilfrid Bo- vey, acting president of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild, announced re- cently that unprecedented 'interest 's being taken in the work of the Guild which is seeking to build up a new industry in Canadian homes--the manufacture of hand-made twecds and woollens and of iron and wood wor! nthe province of Quebec particu- Tasly, where the Govérnment has done much to help the work hy es- tablishing a school for instruction at "CHRIST POR Mio ALL FOR SAME hinge THOUGHT AND PRAYE.

However, Quebec was doing its best to prevent women from lowering themselves to such depths by keeping the franchise away from them. Women of Quebec | would vote tor members in the Fed- | { eral House but had no voice in elect- | | ing members for the Provincial Leg- | | islature. This was the only province | v Canada which forbade its women to have the right of franchise within | t+ own boundaries, Mrs. Bruneau cited certain articles of the Civil Code of the Province of Quebee corresponding to the Napo- leon Code concerning the property and administration of personal cffects of the woman, as well as identical provisions of the two Codes regard- ing paternal authority. She added that these arbitrary articles of the Civil Code would certainly be amend ¢d if the women had the right to vote in the province of Quebec, But the Legislative Assembly persists in re- fusing to the women the right which they already possess in 7ederal clec- tions--a right which Canadian women of other provinces exercise with full liberty. Mrs. Bruneau concluded with these words: "Eyes turned towards France, we wait on her to set the good ex- ample. And the day the Palais- Bourbon repairs this long existing in- justice by according you ladies the right to vote 1 am convinced that the laws and customs of this old Mother Country will take steps to insert this new French law in its statutes." Therefore, if France sees fit to re- lease its women from the bondage and give them the freedom of the olls, Quebec will surely folow. Is it any wonder, she asked, that the women in New France are interest- ed in the action of the Government of Old France?

Macdonald, chairman of the finance 'committee ,who had moved the adoption of the report as present- ed, said he took no exception to Al- derman Kirby's remarks. The feel- ing of the committee, he said, was that the letter did not give definite instructions, not make a definite sug- gestion as to the way we were to go about the matter. "The letter," he said, "Asks for more = business-like and efficient administration. That is our object... We arc working along these lines, and that is whit we in- tend to do this year. I have no ob- jection to the amendment, because it covers what we are going to do." Courtesy Overlooked "Ald, Morris asserted that in simple courtesy to the ratepayers' associa- tion the letter should be dealt with in a more business-like way, "To get a letter like this and simply throw it in the waste-paper basket is not good business. I agree with Ald. Mac- donald that we are out to get a good business administration, but I have no objection to Mr. Kirby's amend- ment?' Ald. Boddy said that all the mem- bers of the council knew that the at- titude of the council was to take steps to do as was suggested in the letter. He did not think thére was any slight intended in receiving and filing the letter from the ratepayers' association, and as he had signed the report he was prepared to stand by it. Mr. Kirby's amendment was then put to the vote and was carried, and the finance report was adopted as amended. The other clauses of the report included the following recom- mendations ;-- Other Clauses That no action be taken on the communication {rom the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce regarding the rescinding of the city bylaw imposing a tax on busses operating in and out of Oshawa. That the bill from the county trea- | surer covering the cost of the addi- | tion to the county registry office, and | apportioned by the inspector of legal offices, fifths of the total or a sum of $7,- 146.26 be paid, and that a bylaw au- | thorizing a loan by the issue of deb- | entures to that amount be introduced | at the next regular meeting of the council. That the insurance policy of the Globe Indemnity Insurance Company covering public liability insurance on the streets, parks, etc, expiring Janu- ary 21, be renewed. hat our membership in the Onta- *tunicipal Association for the year 1 1931 be renewed, and the fee of $50 be forwarded to the secretar) Good Roads Association Another interesting discussion was created when the report of the Board of Works was presented. This report making the city's share two- asked that no action be taken on the matter of repairing or replacing the sidewalk on the west side of Prince Street from Bond Street to Rich- mond Street, but that it be deferred until the board deals with the side- walk program for the year. This clause aroused no comment. The next clause, however, stated that no action be taken with regard to taking member- ship in the Ontario Good Roads Ac- sociation, Chairman Objects Ald. Sam Jackson, the chairman of the board of works, objected to this clause in the report . He noted that the finance committee report recom mended that the membership fee o: $50 in the Ontario Municipal Associa- tion be sent in to the secretary, "We are willing to pay this fee of $50." he said, "but when it comes to the en- gineering department, which requires a fee of $15 for the Ontario Good Roads Association, it is refused. 1 don't see how we should pass $50 for one association, and when we come to another at $15, we should turn i: down. I would move an amendment that we take membership in the On: tario Good Roads Association." Ald. Morris seconded the amend ment, which was in line with what he had moved in committee without suc- cess. "We pay $50 to the municipal association so that the treasurer can attend the convention to get new ideas on how to carry on his work The engineer has always attended the good roads convention, and it seem: cheap to stay out of the associatior If it is worth while, and I am sure it is, if we attend and get the bene- fit, we should at least take out « Ji bership when the cost is onl Favors Econemy Ald. Boddy asked how long it wa since the city had been a member o! the Good Roads Association, and wa: informed that it was not a member for sume years back." "Then," he added "I don't see why we should start this year. It is true that 'the engineer might get some information at the convention, but this is not a year to start taking memberships in associa tions, especially as we are anxious to curtail expenditures." Ald. Sam Jack son: "I don't see much economy i taking one membership at $50 an turning one down at $18." Ald. Macdonald remarked that the Ontario Municipal Association was entirely different from the Good Roads Association, since it dealt with every phase of municipal work, and was particularly valuable in keeping the city officials informed as to new legislation affecting municipalities. There was no question, he said, but that the engineer would get ideas at the good roads convention, but he felt that it was purely a rural organiza- tion and of no great benefit to cities. Ald, Morris again spoke on the question, saying that if economy was the only desire, it would be wise to eliminate the expenditure of $50 for the Ontario Municipal Association. With him it was a matter prin- ciple, and he believed that if the city had not previously been a mem- ber of the good roads association, then .it was time to make a start. Ald. Cawker also supported Ald. Jackson's amendment, saying it would | make the city feel cheap if 'the en- gineer went to the convention with- out the city paying the membership fee. Amendment Carried Ald. Jackson's amendment was then } put to the council and was carried, and the balance of the report, which also contained a reference to the Lakeview Gardens Bridge, was passed without further discussion. 'Fhe reports of the fire protection and city property comittee, and of the general purpose committee, con sisted only of the passing of accounts and these were adopted, also without i discussion, SR ns es i PROGRESS Through the Ups and Downs of 114 Years Aur through changes and fluctuations in the economic situation during the last century and more, the Bank of Montreal has maintained an unbroken record of successful operation and sound progress in serving its customers and Canada as a whole.
