2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturday, March 12, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GERRIN BRACE YOURSELF, MR. TAXPAYER It doesn't require an acute financial observer to see that the city's tax mill rate is due to take a jump upward. City Council met today in an important budget session to study the board of education's $2,622,322 budget (which represents a mill rate of 31.009 or an increase of 1.3 mills for the board) and the result of their deliberations will likely be made known next week. First of all, there are the uncontrollable increases like the 6 percent pay hike to the board of works em~ ployes and the city's 1.3 increase in debenture carry- ing charges (including principal and interest) exclusive of the board's. 4 Board of education also had a 1.3 increase in de- benture and carrying charges. Council will naturally try to do some paring but the thought still persists with many that the city's "mill increase may top the 2-mill mark. The city's mill . rate last year was 73 for residential, 77.5 for commercial and industrial and 66 for farmlands. So keep your fingers crossed, Mr. Taxpayer, BYLAWS WERE MEANT TO BE OBEYED There's one way for the city to get the sidewalks more clear of ice and snow. Just obtain twe or three convictions for violations of city by-law 2365 (it stipulates citizens must keep sidewalks clear of ice and snow) early in the winter. The resultant publicity would work wonders. It would soon convince the majority that bylaws are not imaginary things designed for ornamental purposes, The police have been more than fair about en= forcement of 2365 (as most of us know) and perhaps one reason is because many offenders are the elderly and infirm, Bylaw 2365 got quite a going over verbally at Council Monday. When the arm-waving and fiery or- ations were completed, Alderman Branch and Da~ foe made the most sense. Each said something like this, "If we have such by- laws on the city statute books, why don't we enforce them and stop dilly-dallying around?" Alderman Marks thought the city should hire men to clean walks for elderly persons (a most humane suggestion, but one that would only add confusion and cost to the present state of things) and Mayor Gifford got away off the beaten track by solidly denouncing anonymous letter writers ("People who do things like that are not good citizens and I'm thinking of that per- ison who wrote me the letter last week-end"). His Z Worship also protested that many citizens, especially ""merchants, had no place to put their snow. : Mr. Branch pointed out that sevéral "commercial & establishments" ignore this by-law and it is easy to see Siwhat he means by a casual stroll up and down Simcoe ALD, DAFOE "TRAFFIC ARTERY TO SERVE GM ¥ One of the largest upcoming projects for Oshawa "ds the Stevenson's road development south over High- way 401 to Wentworth street, which is now on the plan- £ning boards. 2 The overall cost of the project will be $2,700,000 #with the department of highways, CPR, CNR and the =~city sharing the costs. : Oshawa's share will be approximately one third, _or in the neighborhood of $900,000.

' Those citizens who are looking for unmistakable _ signs of a Liberal resurgence in Ontario riding were more than a little encouraged by the turnout March ¢ = when Hon. Paul Martin addressed the Ontario Riding Liberal Association here. More than 175 were on hand to _ hear the former federal minister of health. The only sad note to the affair was the unavoidable absence of Mr. ~ George Drynan who got snowbound in a big storm in Western Ontario . , , . . Col. R. S, McLaughlin, chair- "man of the board of directors of General Motors of Can~ ¢ ada, has returned to his Bermuda home where he will "remain until the end of April. He was in Oshawa for -five days last week and later attended the annual meet« "ing of General Motors Corp. in New York City ..... Ex-Sgt. Tommy Gilbert has won his fight to have the GM Pipe Band barred from rehearsals in the Armories on nights when the Ontario Regiment Association is meeting. f SOME ENLIGHTENMENT FOR MR. GILBERT (Editor's note: the following letter is in reply to a recent column in which ex-8gt. Tommy. Gil. bert urged that bagpipe music be universally bar. red, especially in the Oshawa Armories when the Ontario Regt, Association meets.) Dear Mr, Gearin: The plaintive wail of the exiled "Scouser," ex-Sgt. T. Gilbert, is a braw recommendation for that most beautiful of all musical instruments, the Scottish bag- pipes. Mind, I stress the Scottish variety as being some- what superior to the Irish instrument, which you'll agree, is a wee mite insipid, like their whisky. How- ever, Sassenachs being what they are, and a hybrid variety from Liverpool at that, I feel constrained to enlighten Mr. Gilbert. Mr, Gilbert probably fled Liverpool to escape the Liverpool Scottish Regiment Band. He's probably found a pipe band everywhere he landed, and enviously watched the crowds stirred to ecstasy by the music es- caping from the world's greatest musical instrument. H.
