z THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, Merch 153, 1902 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Starr Berated By Opposition INTERPRETING THE NEWS Appeal Foreseen On Cuban Trade | * KING ST. NEEDS A NEW FACE Some misguided citizens are subtly and surreptitiously spreading gloom these days about the battered old King street CNR tracks (even before the Transport Board has had time to get to town to hear the City's application for their removal.) r " The sum and substance of these warnings is that the tracks' removal would rep- resent an astronomical, pro- * hibitive investment for the + City (in the way of a new "road, sidewalks, culverts, * drains and possible replace- ment of some underground services, such as sanitary and storm sewers, etc.) and that the bulk of this would be | passed along to the King © 4 street property owners in the | area, ; Such statements, com- i posed as they are of half- m@ truths, innuendoes, etc., could only be intended to confuse the real issue. The unvarnished truth is quite simple--removal of the tracks would likely cost the aforementioned property owners a tax increase, but there isn't the slightest bit of evi- dence to show that this increase would be excessive, exorbi- tant -- furthermore, these same property owners have known full well that the day must come when such an increase would come (unless, of course, they want their district to continue to be downgraded, to become a blighted area, with the subsequent business chaos that follows). Not only are such improvements necessary, they can't be avoided much longer. Let's consider the opinion of Chairman Walter Branch of the Board of Works. ALDERMAN BRANCH OTTAWA (CP) -- Opposition tormenting had Labor Minister Starr shaking his fists during a heated debate on unemployment in the Commons Wednesday. Opposition members berated the government for allegedly failing to tackle the problem with sufficient vigor and not en- suring that the public gets its money's worth out of vocational training institutes heavily fi- nanced by the federal treasury. Government supporters, led by Mr. Starr, accused the op- position of making false innu- endoes and irresponsible state- ments. An angry Mr. Starr shook his fists in arguing a point of priv- ilege he raised concerning an allegation by Paul Martin (L-- Essex East), his principal tor- reply to an argument of Mr. Martin before the Essex East it "Just pure nonsense and hot air," retorted the minister. member had a chance to finish| |.

The grants could be made as King street, an arterial road in the Province's highway set-up, is part of Highway No. 2. The City's share of the included under Local debentures There is also the possibility that the Board could assess the CNR for part of the cost of restoring the street. The job of repairing and restoring the foundations underneath King street has caused concern around City Hall, in view no doubt of the fact that the tracks were first laid in the early 1890's and many of the services under- neath have not been restored. Let's not put up imaginary roadblocks in the way of the removal of the tracks, which have long outlived their use- fullness; otherwise there will no hope for the downtown area, The fervent prayer of all good citizens is that the City will show the same drive and initiative in tackling the King Street restoration (if the tracks are removed) that it dis- played in handling the $2,700,000 Stevenson's road project -- the two senior governments paid $1,886,000 of that bill. The City's share was $814,000 and there wasn't an audible squawk around City Hall about that. City Engineer. Fred Creme won't hazard a guess as to the possible maximum cost for the restoration of the street, despite his long association with detailed repair work on it; but the figure of $125,000 was bandied around City Council as recently as 1958 by some people who should know. Lyman Gifford was such a person -- when he was chair- man of the Board of Works, back in 1957, or thereabouts, he estimated that the total cost of restoring the road and sidewalks after the tracks were moved would be in the cost, incidentally, could be Improvements and handled by technical training progra m/|U ago after the man made homo- discovered on railway tracks by the U.S trade embargo. 8 BOND ST.

It must be assumed that he struck this figure with the assistance of the City engineer's department. In all fairness to Mr. Crome, he has promised to provide a reasonable estimate on the cost of filling in those abomin- able pot-holes, including labor and materials -- he says, however, that this amount would not pay the interest rate on the new sidewalks. Despite this, the job must be done, and the time to start it is now, depending, of course, on that big '"'if". FLEMING HORSES READY TO GO James J. Fleming of 848 Ritson road north is a busy man these days as he ships some of his prize horses off to the racing wars. Mr. Fleming sent four horses to old Woodbine this week. Others will follow later to Montreal, Fort Erie, New Wood- bine, Rochester, etc., depending on how well these do in their preliminary starts. Mr, Fleming, as a man who has been closely associated with horse racing for many years, speaks guardedly about his entries' chances in the coming season -- but he does feel that they are in tip-top shape and rarin' to go, especially two of his three-year-olds, Flying Orvieto and Chopora (the latter by Chop Chop, the fabulously successful stud owned by E. P. Taylor.) Mr. Fleming's Ritson road home is a show-place for people who love race horses. His spacious downstairs den is crowded with race track mementos, trophies, plaques, and photos of his stables' triumphant hours. There is a special wind-protected paddock at the rear so that the horses can work out in almost all kinds of weather, also a_ half-mile track. He is especially proud of one of his retired horses, 11- year-old Teddy's Sister, and. little wonder--this horse had a lifetime earning-total of $105,000, won the Valedictory Handi- cap at Dufferin four times. 2 PETERBOROUGH ARENAS HAVE DEFICITS The taxpayers of Peterborough have been asked to absorb a $23,150 operating loss in 1961 by the Peterborough Memorial Centre. : : This is the first operational loss recorded for a full year in the Centre's six-year-history. No profit was made by the Centre from July to December of 1956 (first year of opera- tion). City Council is considering a request to have the amount included in this year's general tax budget. The Memorial Centre finished 1960 with an operating profit of $10,282 -- a drop in attendance at Junior "'A" hockey games is said to be the chief cause of the operating loss for 1961. The finance committee of the Peterborough City Council also has a request from the Peterborough Civic Arena for a civic grant to cover the arena's operating deficit in 1961. NO DUES BOOST DUE FOR UAW The International UAW has mailed each of its locals the official call to the union's 18th. Constitutional Convention which is to be held May 4-10 in Atlantic City, N.J. The call lists the business of the convention, basis of repres- entation, eligibility requirements, election of delegates, creden- by resolutions, committees, hotel information and registra- on. The executive of the International UAW will recommend to the convention that dues not be increased (as was previously disclosed by Secretary-Treasurer Emil Mazey). Mr. Mazey said that the International Union is in a sound financial position and the executive does not anticipate any need for a dues adjustment. ¢ See RT RE SEER FRANCE 455-65 , SESS?
