2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturday, December 30, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'eden coe 1962 COUNCIL HAS ONE NEW FACE Oshawa's 1962 City Council - which will be the 1961 Council except that Mrs. Alice Reardon will replace Alderman Walter Lane -- will make its debut Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the Council Chambers at an inauguration service, with Rev. Dr. George Telford officiating. ; Mrs, Reardon (who finished 13th in the 1960 elec- tion just 108 votes behind Alderman John Dyer) will be sworn in before the ceremony -- the other council- lors won't be sworn in again as they are serving two- year terms). Council was to meet in secret caucus today to com- plete another important bit of business: : To make 83 appointments for 1962 to 25 municipal bodies (boards, committees and commissions).

The results are awaited by such groups as the Planning Board (which has constantly delayed im- portant re-zoning decisions until the results are known), the Board of Works and the Engineering Department. One of the big decisions delayed has to do with the proposed new King street west shopping centre to be built by Dominion Stores -- the Planning Board has urged Council to await the survey results before acting on this important matter and Council Has ac- quiesced. The value of such a survey is invaluable to future City planning and the $10,000 is well spent -- it is to be hoped that the City will find money for a similar sur- vey of its municipal set-up, one that would be far less costly and equally as important, FROM THE WORLD OF HIGH FINANCE Trust companies are in the news locally. Guaranty Trust Co. of Canada 'will open a downs town branch here within four weeks in part of the main floor at 32 King street east, corner of Ontario (the remainder of the floor will continue to be occupied by Kelly Furniture and Appliances, in addition to the downstairs). Canada Trust and Huron and Erie (which is one and the same company) appears ready to open shop here, but there are stumbling blocks. The firm has an option on 4000 square feet of Simcoe street south prop- erty, immediately north of the Simcoe-Athol site own- ed by the Bank of Montreal (Mrs. William Duncan owns 2000 square feet of this -- formerly the site of the Home Dairy -- and Mrs. Pearl Serett the balance). Canada Trust has already been granted one ex- nsion on its option which currently has an expirary late of January 18. It would like to build a one-storey structure, presumably for its own use. It has agreed to a 12-foot Simcoe street setback (as proposed by the City and Planning Board), but on one condition--that the City give assurance that the Bank property will also be set back 12 feet on Simcoe, Paul Ristow is the agent. The City's proposal for a 12-foot setback has been a touchy question around City Hall for several months, has become so complicated some aldermen laughingly suggest that it should be sent to the UN for mediation. The Bank is not too happy with the City's belated proposal for a setback possibly because no such proposal was made when the property was purchased. The Bank was willing to swap the setback area --~ 12 feet on Simcoe and 12 feet on Athol -- for land in the city parking lot adjacent, but the traffic com- mittee turned this down because the property was bought with parking meter funds. The Bank then offered to settle for $26,000, but the best offer the City could come up with was in the neigh- borhood of $14,000, and that is just about where the stalemate rests. The Bank gave an indication of its impatience with the City's handling of the affair recently by leasing the Simcoe-Athol street site to a local builder for display purposes for six months, which means that the start of construction will be delayed at least that long. The Planning Board's recommendation for a 12-foot setback is a commendable one, in the best interests of long-range downtown planning, but there's a strong suggestion that it was an afterthought by the Board, also that the City advised the Bank that there were no serious encumberances of this sort in the way when the. property was purchased. This entire transaction proves once again that fre- quently there are too many cooks in the City Hall kitchen on such matters and that confusion and indecis- ion exists. : City's fumbling in an important matter. This muddle is unfortunate; not only does it delay the start of building on the bank property, it deprives the City of considerable tax revenue. There is also another grim possibility -- the Canada Trust deal may fall through altogether because of the QUARTERS FOUND FOR PURCHASING AGENT W. J. Crompton, Oshawa's new purchasing agent, must have a feeling of relief today -- office space has been found for him in the overcrowded City Hall. He']l be in the Assessment Department on the fourth floor, For a time. it appeared he would be confined to less spacious quarters, even in one of the hallways, as an inner-Council controversy raged about his office location. . .
