The latest contract to the overpass at Highway 401 includes approaches, ramps, granular base on Steven- son's road south from Shopping Centre to GM south plant; Bloor street from Thornton road to Cromwell avenue; Laval street and Hillsdale avenue for $374,000 ---96 percent of this is paid by the Department of High- ways. Paving from Stevenson's road north from King to Rossland road north is now being done and will be com- pleted this year. The paving contracts will be let next vear for Stevenson's road south. "This traffic artery will change the entire traffic pattern of the City as many motorists will use this street for exit and entry to Highway 401 and to the south GM plant," said Alderman Walter Branch, chair- man of the board of works, today. When this project is completed Thornton's road ac- cess to Highway 401 will be closed, he added. GLANCING BACKWARDS WITH REGIMENTAL BAND Did you know that the Band of the Ontario Regiment took top honors in the 25-piece contest at the CNE for the fourth consecutive year just 20 years ago, on Sep- tember 5, to be exact? The bandmaster was John Broadbent and three of the members won solo honors -- George C. Hood for cornet, J. H. Lee, trombone and William Askew for euphonium. FLOOD PROBLEMS PLAGUE CITY Did you notice how the Corporation of the City of Oshawa seems to be plagued with flooding problems these days? At the August 21 City Council meeting, for instance, correspondence was read from no less than three down- town stores complaining of this problem from overload- ed sewers (Cherney's reported 18 serious basement floods in the past three years). This week Carman and Florence P. Hartford, a To- ronto couple who own property in Whitby Township, was awarded $1800 for flood damage done to their farm -- specifically their raspberry crop -- by running water from a downgrade section of Cartref avenue. The defendant was the City of Oshawa and judg- ment was issued by judge J. de N. Kennedy in County Court. The Hartfords were represented by Gilbert L, Mur- doch of-OshEwa who pointed out that his client's prop- erty is the first one outside the city on the north side of Rossland road -- the east limit of the Hartford property is the west limit of the City. As an indication of the time involved in such liti- gation -- Mr, Murdoch said this week that the writ was issued November 6, 1959. HARBOR COMMISSION AT N.S. MEET Oshawa's three-man Harbor Commission is making a pilgrimage to Halifax, N.S, this week for a special svent -- the annual three-day meet of the Canadian Port and Harbor Association. Chairman Sam Jackson will lead the delegation and he will be accompanied by Thomas Rundle and Frew C. Malloy (who is also chair- man of the Oshawa Industrial Commission) Pickering Township -- a residential-rural area border- ing the eastern edge of Metro Toronto -- is starting an all-out campaign to attract industry to its 7200 acres. A nine-man committee has been formed to promote in- justrial development. The township has undeveloped acreage of lake frontage. The campaign, as a start, is imed at balancing the tax load. A total of 2700 acres of 'he south portion have been zoned as industrial. This init is just east of the 300-unit housing development \t Bay Ridges. LITTLE ITEMS OF CIVIC INTEREST The following anonymous note has been sent this way for publication: "During Summer months while City Council has been in recess (72?) -- two new items of city property have been completed and placed in operation, without tanfare, by the City Council Property Committee, under the Chairmanship of Alderman Albert Walker. "New dressing rooms have been constructed in Alexandra Park at a cost of $6800. The various sporting groups who use the park have been requesting this ac- commodation for several years and have found them- gelves in embarrassing positions because of lack of these facilities, when clubs from other cities visit Oshawa. The completion of this project will fill a real need. "A new bandstand has been erected in Lakeview Park at a cost of $3500 to replace the old stand. The Salvation Army Band provides a program Sunday alter- noons at this location and it is anticipated that other musical organizations will take advantage of this fine newitfacility." 3 » \ Montreal--Leo B.
