2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, May 21, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN LARGE DELEGATION ORDER OF THE DAY That was no mirage Monday night--City Council Chamber really was filled with interested spectators. We won't be so bold as to say that a municipal re- surgence is under way here, that the taxpayers have finally been aroused from their long lethargy, but such scenes are not unusual these days at Council. Every spectator seat was occupied by 7:30 p.m. Monday--and there were plenty of standees--as some angry delegations showed up to protest against over- flowing sanitary sewers that threaten to devaluate their properties The protest was an old one, but it was taking a new, more vociferous form. The delegations (from the Cadillac-LaSalle-Cen+ tral Park and the Jarvis-Hilleroft areas) were angry because they thought the city had been negligent had neglected their problem for too long, but it was a con- trolled, and highly reasonable anger, and their appear- ance came off without anger. Even Alderman Dafoe, whose temper is a byeword at Council, was unusually well behaved (at least until the delegations departed). All in all, it was an encouraging scene to see so many spectators at Council, a lesson in good citizenship that should Be emulated more often. One point was obvious Monday, as it has been fre- quently of late: Oshawa needs a city manager form or some similar drastic revision of its municipal set-up, if city business is to be expedited more promptly and efficiently. There's a great lack of overall planning (of the kind which is such an integral part of the CM system). Council's agenda Monday, once again, was far too long, was loaded down with too much trivia and time-con- suming items. It marked the second consecutive meet- ing which was uncompleted. Additional meetings had to be called the following nights, which certainly places an unnecessary strain on councillors. Important business is bound to suffer under such an antiquated municipal set-up, which was outmoded 10 vears ago. As an example, an Oshawa lawyer waited hopefully for five months for word that might tell him the city would purchase his swimming pool. The prop- erty committe had disposed of the matter several weeks before but didn't even inform the lawyer. He was just left waiting, hoping. City Clerk Roy Barrand said recently that the past two months at City Hall were busiest of any two-month period in the past six years. His office has put on an extra corresponding secretary. The time has arrived for a closer look at the city's municipal set-up--otherwise, city business is due to suffer in a big way. RATS AS BIG AS CATS Some press quotes of the week: "I live in a house more than 100 years old. Rats as big ac cats have carved holes in the floor. I bought traps. No good. I bought bigger traps--still no good. I bought a bushel of apples. In a few days they were half gone. The rats ate them. I want to rebuild my house and protect my children"-- RICHARD LENCZEWSKI, of 599 Simcoe hefore City Council Monday. » street, If we build this project we are not helping those we should be helping. That is those who can't help themselves 1 thought we were providing housing for those families who have been, or are threatened with eviction. Or those whose houses have been condemned" -- MAYOR LYMAN GIFFORD in opposing a motion for 26 low-rent, full recovery duplex units to be built this year. . . . * We noticed this week where the Bank of Montreal broke with an old tradition: It held a full meeting of the board of directors in Toronto. the first time such a meeting has been held outside Montreal since the bank was founded in 1817. Our association with banks is fragmentary at best, and ordinarily we pay little attention to such precedent- shattering events from the financial world -- however, we were thinking of the B of M the other day as we passed the Simcoe south-Athol streets intersection. That's where the bank owns a valuable piece of real estate on the north- west corner (67 feet on Simcoe, 125 eon Athol) purchased last year from the Spring Brothers for $135,000. The bank plans a single - purpose building there at an undisclosed date. Our fervent prayer is that it will be a large, im- posing edifice ene in keeping with the general architectural excellence of two nearby buildings on % opposite corners The ol bul Office and Customs JAMES McCANSH building and the Imperial Bank. This corner would then be well on the way to be- coming a downtown showcase, a sadly - missing com- modity in modern Oshawa. The bank has branches at the Oshawa Shopping Centre and at 20 Simcoe north, where it has been lo- cated 40 years. The manager at 20 Simcoe north is James McCansh, an amiable Glasgow-born Scot who moved here about one year ago from Owen Sound after an extensive tour of bank service in Canada and abroad. Few citizens are more community-minded than Mr. McCansh (treasurer of The Canadian Club, Oshawa Communify Chest and committee chairman of Rotary's Easter Seal campaign). FATHFR OF 3 GETS BA AT 38 Ex-Alderman Joseph Victor isn't the suly Oshawa resident who went back to school after 30, with high success, Remember how Mr. Victor in 1955 (when he was a grandfather and 38) | went back to school after an absence of 22 years and obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree at University Colege, Toronto, together with his son, 18? Today he's in the sec- ond year at Osgoode Hall Law School despite the pressure of other business (he owns and operates a sports good store). We were thinking of him today when we heard of another local Johnny- Come-Latély of the world of higher education.
