2 THE OSHAWA. TIMES, Seturdey, October 20, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN PRE-ELECTION RITUAL ALWAYS THE SAME Oshawa's municipal voters will go to the polls December 3, but top-flight election news was hard fo come by this week. Many aldermen (Gay and Brady excepted) and trustees like to play coy at this time of year and pretend not to know what their plans are for December 3 -- others are frankly afraid to make the announcement too soon lest they offend "the better half" (who would like them to abandon public life). This is a traditional and amusing ritual of guess-what- I'm-going-to-do with many of our elected representatives who (like grand opera, movie, and gridiron stars) like to keep their public guessing. Remember nomination day in 1959 when Alderman Edgar F. Bastedo, QC, was literally pushed to the starting wire by some dear friends, includ- ing Russel Humphreys, QC, after Mr. Bastedo had an- nounced his retirement from the municipal arena, (EDI- TOR'S NOTE: Mr. Bastedo has announced that he will definitely retire this year.) One man. came out this week and announced he will be a candidate in the alder- ; manic field, December 3-- George Charles Martin, 38- GEORGE MARTIN year-old City insurance agent who has been prominent in traffic safety work. He was once active in Oshawa Jaycee work until the age limit barred him; not only did-he win the Lew McConkey Award for being the Most Outstanding New Jaycee in 1957, he won the Sir Alfred Campbell Memorial Award for Safety Projects (in competition with all other Jaycee clubs in Canada). He was vice-chairman of the Oshawa Safety League and helped to obtain traffic lane equipment donated to the City by the Jaycees. November 22 is nomination day. SKILLED CITY TECHNICIANS DO CLERICAL JOBS City Council is wasting no time in getting down to busi- ness on the Woods, Gordon Study of Civic Administration Re- port (which should be 'must reading" for taxpayers who would see Oshawa emerge from its current financial dilemma -- the debenture debt last December 31 was $18,412,865). The committee named to study the report and rec- ommend implementation, piecemeal or otherwise, - will meet Monday night. The W-G Report was super- critical of many things in Oshawa's municipal struc- ture (as was to be reason- ably expected after so many years of delay on a survey), but some of its-harshest crit- icism was reserved for two departments -- the City En- gineer's Department and its affiliate, the Board of Works Yard. Perhaps it is unfair to sin- gle these two units for spe- cial attention, but they are away and far the largest sin- gle units in the framework of Oshawa's municipal set- FRED CROME up; therefore, they are more vulnerable, because their operational costs are so much greater than other departments and the chances for unneces- sary waste of tax dollars is far greater. The W-G Report pin-points many alleged deficiencies in the operational structure and policies of these two depart- ments. If the Report is only half right, these departments are badly in need of re-organization, and the sooner the better. The Report says: Much clerical work, which would normally be performed by a central service department, is done by skilled technical people in the City Engineering Department -- a 'senior drafts- man spends approximately 50 percent of his time on clerical work which includes Posting and Balancing of a contractor's ledger and subsidiary ledger, coding of time sheets and prep- a' ation of bills. The Office Manager maintains personnel records and hours worked on each job classification. It continues: Most accounting work for the department is done by the Department itself. Purchasing records are maintained by the staff. In spite of these detailed records, it is not possible to de- termine the total cost of operating the Department. For satis- factory management control, says the report, it is important the City should know the actual cost of operating this large department. The Woods, Gordon Report, urges that accounting records should be kept in the Treasury accounting section and in such a manner so that the gross cost can be determined. The report devotes considerable space to the problem of job costing for the benefit of the department. It urges simplified job costing, using standard labor rates. It urges several other changes in policy. DISAGREEMENT WITH CITY POLICY Says the W-G Report: "Some (criticism, while directed at the Engineer's Department, is more truly a disagreement with the City's policy in the engineering field, which policy is established, or at least endorsed, by Council. Some critic- ism again in the areas of supervision, work scheduling, and co-ordination, may be justified." The survey 'attempted to ascertain why the City Engi- neer's Department in Oshawa had a larger staff than other cities of comparable size and whether it was necessary, especially under the Field Engineer, the Design Engineer and the Officer Manager, There are two general reasons, the report continues: One is the City's policy of undertaking all work on new subdivisions itself and collecting its costs from the subdivider. The Oshawa system requires more time of City engineers and technicians as compared with the more common system of allowing the subdivider to employ his own contractors and engineers subject to city inspection. It also requires more record-keeping. The second reason is the duplication in the Engineer's Department of clerical work done also in the Treasury. Drapeau MONTREAL, (CP) -- Mayor Jean Drapeau said his Civic Party is campaigning quietly in the bid to win re-election in the Montreal civic election Sunday, Oct. 28. Mr.. Drapeau will be opposed by three candidates, including the first woman ever to contest the mayoralty in Montreal. The Civic Party is contesting all 45 council seats established in the new streamlined munici- pal parliament. The party held 46 of the 66 seats in the outgoing council under the old electoral system. Senatoy Sarto Fournier is try- ing to regain the mayoralty he lost to Mr. Drapeau in 1960. His citizens' party is contesting 35 of the council seats. Architect Paul Lambert, sup- ported by the Civic Action League, is seeking the mayor- alty in his first electign test. The league, once a power at city hall, is contesting 42 of the 45 seats. The 24 remaining council can- didates are independent as is Louise Parent, a bakeshop clerk and part '- time. architectural draughtsman who is basing her attempt to become Montreal's first mayor on the success of ee Mayor Charlotte Whit- on. WANTS CONCRETE ONES Miss Parent wants to build concerte bridges across: the St. Lawrence River from Montreal in contrast to 'those ugly steel ones." She would remove all cars from Montreal streets if their owners have no garages, She js not even sure she will hold election rallies. Mayor Drapeau set the tone of the administration campaign Tuesday, nomination day, when he refused to pose for pictures s Party Campaign Quiet with other mayoralty candi- dates. "I don't have to shake hands with persons who call me a thief," he said. 'The voters will understand." Mr. Drapeau invited all the people of Montreal personally to inspect excavations for the sub- way now under construction, The administration stands sz its record of starting a subway, jcleaning up the police depart- ment and virtually assuring _ of the 1967 World's air. ATTACKS DRAPEAU Senator Fournier delivered a strong attack on Mayor Dra- peau at the first rally of the Citizens'. Party. At various times in his speech, he called. the mayor "dictator," "Lucifer," 'ty. rant," "Napoleon," "Jupiter," "viper," "Pharisee," "hyro- crite," "Judas," "'joker," and "bad actor." "Never before," Senator Fournier charged, 'have many lies been told by one than," Senator Fournier said Mont- real has been in such terrible shape since the Civic Patry ad- ministration took over in 1960 diens of the National Hockey League and Montreal Alouettes of the Big Four had bad years. Both the Citizens' Party and Civic Action League said the reason why they were not con- testing all council seats was be- cause of unspecified adminis- tration pressure against pros- pective candidates. "Odious .and clever black- mail," CAL President Pierre Desmarais 'said, "was directed at qualified, competent and rec- ommendable candidates." that even the Montreal Ca7~ so| A golden eagle which ap- peared far from its natural habitat on a city street on Chicago's south side today is turned upon by a: small- dog which it had attacked, Police- man James Thomas fired at bird with service revolver.
