Dixon, principal of O'Neill Collegiate and Vocation- al Institute, announced today that due to the extended ill- ness of F. J. Francis, con- ductor, it has been decided to postpone the OCVI Band's trip to Europe until the next festi- val in 1966. In the meantime, however, the band is proposing 'to tour the universities of Ontario and Quebec during during the first two weeks of this July, as a reward for the hard work in raising money and _ practising diligently. A similar tour is planned for the. summers of 1963, 1964 and 1965. These tours will serve the band in good stead for the world competi- tion in 1966, With the prospect of such jyearly rewards, the students jwill continue to raise money and strive for excellence in their music. For the proposed European tour of 1966, consideration is being given to developing an all- city band, with players drawn from all the high schools of Oshawa, It is confidently expected that jall people involved will be jpleased with the alternative proposals necessitated by the |regrettable postponement of the joriginal plan.

Some 3,000 school children had taken part in the public speak- ing contest, under the chairman- ship of Harold McNeill. Winners in the two classifications had | of last year's campaign was due|he been the guests of the Rotary; Club at one of their Regular!

The response to the last cam- paign indicated the support and interest of a growing com- munity, Mr. Fairthorne said, and added he felt they could be sure of that continued sup- port in the future. After his address, Mr. Fair- thorne and his wife were the recipients of a presentation by Stewart Alger, past president of the Chest, on behalf of the members, Nominating Committee Chair- man Frank N.

'lof subdivision for the proper- Refuse Exemption Frontage Rosslynn Plaza Limited Wed- nesday night lost # bid for exemption from watermain frontage charges in the first watermain assessment case ever heard by an Oshawa Court of Revision. J. C. Stephenson, president, of Rosslynn Estates Limited, argued that the city should pay the cost of the watermain run- ning past his Stevenson road north properties because, he claimed, the main was extended to serve Oshawa Airport. Mr. Stephenson said his plan ties, on the east side of Steven- son north, would not be ap- proved until sanitary sewers could be installed. CONTOURS FACTOR He said he had had most of the land graded so that the nearby Oshawa Creek trunk sewer could be used. But a line of home sites abutting Steven- son road could only be sewered by the Warne Creek trunk sewer, Mr. Stephenson guessed the Warne Creek trunk sewer was at least 600 feet south of Ross- land road and that at $5 per foot it would cost him over $12,000 to extend 'it to service these Sites. "If it was economic to de- velop, I would," said Mr. Stephenson. "But now, I'm be- ing assessed for services I) Me- be ed City Solicitor E. G. Neely, "is that it can't sewered unless you build a sewer. He is saying he can't (IE: the subdivider plays the service costs), STRESS PRINCIPLE 'Mr. McNeely stressed the im- portance of the principle inher- ent in the new bylaw: that the city and the Public Utilities Commission can construct charges on affected properties and grant exemptions under certain conditions, (The new bylaw, 3937, drawn up under terms of The City of Oshawa Act, 1952, gives the city power to levy frontage rates for watermains and provides a method of granting exemp- tions). The bylaw allows exemptions, either partial or entire, for: mains on two sides of a single roperty; irregularly - shaped ots; and land unfit for building Charge It doesn't seem right that it might be years before he can get some benefit." George K. Drynan, counsel for the Public Utiliites Commis- sion, pointed out that money ex- \pended by the owner would be recouped by the owner when the land was developed. FOUR OWNERS APPEAL Four Glenview avenue home- owners appealed their assess- ments, claiming they were be- ing charged for frontages on two streets. The lots front on Glenview, with the rear on Rossland. road. M. Robinson, who owns a corner lot at 299 Glenview, will be credited with the equivalent of the charges for the last four years on the Rossland road side but will be obliged to pay front- age charges on the flankage under a section of the Local Im- provement Act which rules that flankage charges will be levied for anything over 120 feet. PAYMENTS CREDITED | The other three Glenview residents will be credited for what they paid on Rossland road charges. Bruce Powell, 190 Baldwin street, will be assessed main charges on 50 feet frontage al- though. his property has only 45 feet frontage. Mr. Drynan ex- plained that a local public util- ities rate bylaw provides for a minimum rate based on 50 feet frontage. Three Mary street homeown- ers appealed their watermain assessments, contending their properties were bought on the understanding that the services were prepaid. Mr. Drynan testified the four properties, all onthe west side of the street, did not have pre- paid services. Only those on the east side did, he said. Mr. Hyman said the dispute was between the homeowners and the subdivider, not the homeowners and the city. William Gibbie, assistant to PUC General Manager J. B. Annand, said when it was dis- covered the watermains were not paid for, the PUC had to go after the builder for connections and the owners for frontage charges for the watermains.
