2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, November 20, 1961 GOOD EVEN By JACK GEARIN QUEEC (CP)--Douglas Fis- LET'S OPEN UP THOSE OIC DOORS What is so rare as a newspaperman at a monthly meeting of the 12-man Oshawa Industrial Commission, indeed, at any OIC meeting ? : Press men at such functions are as rare as Minsky chorines at the annual convention of the WCTU "Is this rigid closed-door policy really necesi@py (as some commissioners maintain), and is it advisable in view of the increasing importance of industrial expan- sion in our municipal set-up ? : It seems like an unfortunate situation, especially in view of the fact that the over-burdened taxpayer bears the brunt of the annual expense bill incurred by in- dustrial expansion promotion ($18,200 this year; $18,700 in 1960 and $14,800 in 1959). Has the taxpayer not a legal right to know more about what is going on behind these doors ? One of the war cries heard in last year's municipal campaign was that there were too many closed-door meetings at City Hall -- here is a good opportunity to open some of these doors, d Let there be no mistake about one point -- there is frequently an understandable need for secrecy regarding OIC matters, indeed, big industrial projects could easily be lost because of ill-advised or premature publicity. Despite this, no press coverage of OIC meetings is equally as bad as:too much coverage, could eventually help to create an atmosphere of suspicion where none should exist. There is no suggestion here that the press should attend every OIC meeting, but the way should be officially cleared so that the press could give such cover- age if it deemed it to be advisable. : There is little opportunity to obtain adequate in- formation on important OIC affairs after they are brought before Council where often, of necessity, they are presented in fragmentary form to cope with a crowded agenda. The history of the OIC dates back to July, 1956, but regular minutes were not kept until January of 1957. The amount expended annually by the City on in- dustrial expansion projects is limited by the Ontario Municipal Act. It is based on the City's total assessment -- one mill is allowed for the first $10,000,000, one- tenth of a mill for each additional million, It is interesting to note that the City's entitlement next year for this purpose would be approximately $29,000 under the recently-completed re-assessment sur- vey; but this amount, of course, would have to be ap- proved by City Council, which also has the power to cut it to any desired amount. All appointees to the OIC must be approved by Council and none is paid. The mayor and two City councillors (approved by the mayor) belong. There are two members of the Oshawa C of C, two industrialists, one realtor and a representative of the PUC and the Oshawa and District Labor Council, Terms are for one year. The program of the OIC aims at creating a favor- able atmosphere for the City's economic development. There is also a visible need for better co-ordination between the OIC and such affiliated units as the Coun- cil, City property committee and the Oshawa Harbor Commission -- this was emphasized the other day when the City transferred approximately 52 acres of land to the harbor commission, OIC members are extra mum about such matters, but there is ample reason to be- lieve that the rank-and-file membership wasn't even informed of the transfer. REFLECTIONS ON CITY PENSION PLAN Dear Sir: I would like to congratulate you for the way you present your thought-provoking topics, which at some time or other seem to embrace all the citizens of Oshawa. I was particularly interested in your article of No- vember 11 in which you dealt with the new pension scheme developed by members of City Council, and so forcibly defended by that champion of fair play, Alder- man John Brady, : Your attitude prompts me to contrast an entirely opposite view taken by another municipal governing body, namely, the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission, I commenced work in August, 1920, for the Town of Oshawa when waterworks and Board of Works were combined. I continued with both of these bodies until 1930 or 1931 when they were divided and I was left in charge of the Works Department.as superintendent. I resigned that post in November, 1939, transferring to PUC with the waterworks division. I left to join the Canadian Army January 15, 1941 and was discharged April 18, 1946. I went back with the PUC June of the same year. I retired June 5, 1960, I approached the manager of the PUC October 25, 1955 (after my 64th birthday) requesting something be done to assist me in later years as I had been informed earlier that I would be taken care of, and nothing seem- ed to be developing. Eighteen months later a plan was set up covering men in most cases taken on after the war. In this I was included with the same status (my seniority during my army service not being included). I approached each member of the Commission by mail contents of letter brought forward at inaugural meeting of Commission in January of this year -- about a month later I received a communication from the man- ager saying they were sorry but I had transferred too late to be accepted in the pension scheme, On October 23rd, I celebrated my 70th birthday, so to my so-called pension of $29.57 per month or an an- nual income of $354.84, I hope to add an additional $55 monthly as old age pension -- and this after 40 years service for the people of Oshawa. A victim of circumstance? No, Of heartless treat- ment? Yes. ' Sincerely, H. A. Alexander, 254 Verdun Road. City, ONE MAN TO DO THE BUYING "Business (and 41 Cities) Are Richer Because One Man Does The Buying". . That's the heading over an article on central pur- chasing in the October issue of Civic Administration. It's of Interest here because Oshawa will soon hire its first purchasing agent to create a new civic depart- ment. More than 72 applications have been received in response to an ad placed by the City in the Oshawa Times and out-of-town newspapers -- City Personnel Manager Dan Fleming is "screening" the applicants and hopes to soon make a recommendation to City Council. The new appointee will not be associated with the Board of Education. Says Civic Administration: Central purchasing, in the hands of a capable pur- chasing official, is generally accepted as an important management tool to control: Purchase, Costs, Level of Inventory. It also acts as a safeguard against favoritism. About half the municipalities in Canada with popu- lations between 15,000 and 50,000 now have central purchasing departments. Some 85 per cent of those not now using the system will introduce it in the near future.
