2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, December 9, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BOARD SEEKS CNR RULING ON TRACKS Memo to Downtown Merchants: Don't despair about those CNR tracks on King street. The City of Oshawa's application for the removal of this "municipal monstrosity" to the Board of Trans- port Commissioners early this year will be referred to the CNR for its opinion. Don't ask why such in- formation is finally com- ing out of Ottawa, some 10 months after the City's first formal application for the removal of the tracks was made (even if Federal tribunals have a heavy work backlog). At any rate, this infor- mation was given to the Ottawa bureau of The Oshawa Times this week by C. W. Rump, secretary of the Board (in reply to a request from this depart- ment as to when the Board Zs would hand down its rul- i ing). DONALD GORDON So the next move is up to President Donald Gordon of the CNR, Does this mean that the tracks are about to go after all these years of bickering, petitioning, groaning and moaning? Not necessarily, but here is what Mr. Rump said this week to The Oshawa Times: "We will advise the railway of the Oshawa action and wait for any submission or reply as-to the railway's attitude. In Ontario we usually allow a waiting period of 20 days for the reply to be received. "If the removal of the tracks can be satisfactorily arranged through correspondence between the parties concerned, a hearing will not. be necessary. "In the event that mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Board would then conduct a public hearing in Oshawa. When such a hearing might take place is impossible to predict as it would depend on when the Board could fit it into its schedule of travelling about the country. "Normally three members of the Board would com- prise a panel to listen to arguments on the trackage removal." Mr. Rump said that whether the matter can be re- solved by mutual agreement or whether a hearing will be necessary depends largely on whether the CNR and the three Oshawa firms serviced by the tracks object to the City's action. Labor Minister Michael Starr told the Ottawa bureau of The Times this week that it is his under- standing that the railway will not object to the removal of the tracks. If, as Mr. Starr suggests, the railway does not oppose the City application, the Board would probably order their removal unless there was strong objection from other parties, Concluded Mr, Rump: "We function as a court and are prepared to give every man his day in court if he wants to be heard."

GO EASY ON SPENDING GENTLEMEN City Council, once again, took a hard look at the City's alarming debenture debt on Monday. The picture was not a pretty one as some Council- los got down to plain talk on a matter that is of the utmost concern to every taxpayer. A day of reckoning will not be far off, they said, unless the municipal purse strings are pulled tight with- out delay, without fear or favor. This action would not depend on Council alone, said Finance Chairman Edgar F. Bastedo, but on the full co-operation of several associate bodies, including the Board of Education and the PUC. He proposed that budgeting bodies be given a gen- eral limit, also that they be allowed to do their own pruning, but he pointed out these grim facts for the consideration of all: Oshawa had a debenture debt of $13,000,000 in 1957 -- at the end of this year it will be almost $18,500,000. This is an alarming rise of 42 per cent in four years. "The Ontario Municipal-Board has given us ample warning," he added "and pointed out that at the end of 1964 -- if the City's projected five-year spending program was followed -- the City would have a de- benture debt of $21,614,000." The question of the City's dangerous spending pro- gram cropped up when Mr. Bastedo recommended a 20 per cent budget reduction in the City's capital ex- penditure program in each of the next five years. Mayor Christine Thomas pointed out that Oshawa has one of the highest per capita debts of any city of comparable size in Ontario, but added "I don't see how we can cut back 20 per cent in 1962 -- we can only work toward it". Her Worship then charged that both the City and the Board of Education were holding too much real estate; in regards to the Board, she was, no doubt, thinking of its ambitious land-buying sprees of late in the purchase of properties for two new senior public schools, The Board bought 10 acres for the new eight-room Ridgeway Public Schoo) at a cost of $42,000, although only five acres were fequired -- earlier it bought 10 acres for the new ten T. R. McEwen Public School on Wilson road south a cost of $35,000 with the ex- planation that five of these acres would be sold to the City for a park. The City never did nibble on this offer and the extra five acres are unused. The Board majority would like to argue that it is more economical to buy expensive land in such big chunks, even though it will be unused for a long time, but others will regard it as nonsensica] extravagance, especially in an age when drastic budget cutting must be the rule rather thandthe exception. r * liability insurance will be up 15 jper cent over 1961 for the larg- est category--drivers over 25, accident-free for at least three) years, who drive for pleasure | For $100,000 coverage on aj \single accident the raised to $48 from $42 | Increases will apply to poli- cies issued or renewed in 1962 by association members.

He said he could buy diamonds and bank- rupt stocks cheaply if he had ready cash to take advantage of opportunities. | Crown Counsel Lloyd Graburn told Judge H. J. M.
