Se 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, December 2, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN FURTHER NOTES ON KING ST. TRACKS Perhaps it was unavoidable, but City councillors were still talking about the removal of the King street CNR tracks this week in vague, uncertain terms that did little to ease the doubts of many downtown merchants that this municipal eyesore would be removed in modern times. The question cropped up unexpectedly Monday night at a special Council meeting after Mayor Christine Thomas asked the finance and property committees to consider ac- quisition of part of the Lander property at King and Centre streets for a parking lot. This meeting was not held in City Council Cham- ber but in the third-floor beard room. The request was turned down on the plea that no funds were available for this purpose; but some of our elected representatives took advantage of the oc- casion to make guarded comments on the tracks re- moval proposal which, at least, is a start in the right direction after so much silence on the subject for so many years. One important point re-emphasized -- City Solicitor E. G. McNeely made application last January to the Board of Transport Commissioners for. removal of the tracks --. this matter is still being considered by the Board Alderman Finley Dafoe felt that the Board would eventually decide to remove the tracks, but he didn't say whether it would be in this generation (before King street becomes a blighted area.) , To show how far apart some City Hall folks are on this important question -- Mr. Dafoe said that the tracks were being used less each year, but Mr. McNeely said that figures' would "probably" show more use of the tracks this year, all-of which may not be important but it sure left many of those in the outside -- Council world in more of a quandary than ever. An Oshawa CNR spokesman said last week that traffic on the tracks dropped considerably two years ago and that approximately three trips weekly were made over them since that time. Some stout champions of our councillors (who wish to remain anonymous) stated this week that everything) was being done (by Council) to remove the tracks and that all of this track-removal talk, especially by "ex- perts" who drop in to town overnight, does more harm than good. "The only thing to do," say these anonymous spokesmen "is to sit back and wait. Remember, there is no easy solution to this age old problem". Isn't this what the people of Oshawa have been doing for 30 years in regards to the tracks? They've been sitting back hopefully waiting, in a long, deep slumber. bs MAYOR THOMAS was The tracks are undoubtedly earning a profit for the CNR. Is it sizeable enough to justify their continued existence, to justify the paralyzing effect the tracks have on any proposed re-development plans? Council must know that there are reputable down- town merchants. ready to spend large sums on thejp stores, if this blight is removed -- 'surely this pre like a reasonable attitude. Whether Council is doing all in its power to clean up the downtown muddle, or whether the merchants are doing enough to help themselves (most councillors say they are not), the taxpayers would like to know the true facts. Council can find $814,000 as the City's share of the $2,700,000 Stevenson road project, yet it spends so little on the downtown JUDGE FRASER PRESIDES AT HAMILTON Judge Neil C. Fraser of Oshawa was busy this week testing his wings in a legal world that was entirely new for him -- he presided at the Hamilton non-jury sittings cf the Supreme Court of Ontario, his first as- signment since he was elevated to the Bench November 15. His Lordship still resides at 476 Masson street here, but he plans to move to Toronto with his family in the near future ... Judge Alex Hall, another resident of Masson street, hopes to be back at his office next week for the first time since his recent hospital con- valescence period for a slight coronary condition. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE The future of Intermart -- the proposed bonded warehousing and merchandising mart for Oshawa's har- bor area -- appears to be clouded in mystery, at least for the time being. The Oshawa Harbor Commission is still awaiting a reply to letters sent to the National Pro- prietary Corp., three weeks ago -- the letters outlined proposed wharfage rates and set out other terms for long-term rental of certain harbor lands by Intermart, The letters also stipulated Intermart could not have ex- clusive use of the 500-foot wharf, now being built by the Federal government and due for completion next April Final papers were signed Friday between Lee's Discount House and Whitby Township for construction of a discount department store between Oshawa and Whitby on a 23-acre site on Thickson's road immed- iately north of the service road along the north side of Highway 401. The Ontario Municipal Board must ap- prove the township by-law. It is. expected that con- struction will start soon to allow for a Spring opening, according to William Lawson, Ajax lawyer who rep- resents the discount house. WOMEN INFILTRATE REAL ESTATE WORLD Labor Minister Michael Starr has been in the City since Tuesday. He was the main speaker Wednesday night at the official opening of the new Vincent Massey High' School in Etobicoke. He attended the annual meeting of the Ontario County Progressive-Conservative Association in Whitby Thursday, .. . The Oshawa and District Real Estate Board now lists 23 registered sales- ladies (as compared with 106 salesmen) an all-time high, although some of these women are not active full- time. Mrs. Bertha Appleby was recently elected sec- retary of the Board, the first time a member of the Distaff Side has held elected office. Mrs. Joy Dell, an- other Oshawa real estate saleslady, has an article in the November issue of the nationally-circulated publica- tion, "The Realtor,' under the heading, "A Plea For Women In Real Estate'. Writes Mrs. Dell: "One woman knows what another woman wants, and nine times out of 10 it's the woman's opinion that counts when buying a house." 4 ST.
