Group To Fight One-Way Street Evidently, from the many querulous phone calls received from businessmen in downtown Oshawa, and especially from those on King street, by Dean Kelly and Murray Johnston, general chairman and chairman of Civic Affairs Committee, re- spectively, the report of last Tuesday's meeting with Osh- awa City Council is the first inkling for some business men that city council is seriously considering the idea of making King street a one-way eastbound traffic artery. In speaking to The Times to- day, Mr. Johnston again stated the unanimous objections of the Oshawa Business Men's Assoc. when he most definitely pointed out that the Businessmen were not resisting one-way streets but were endorsing them with the exception of King street -- and in this case they had sub- mitted an alternate (and in| their opinion, a more desirable street) in Athol street to take eastbound traffic around the busy four corners. The business- of a city" cerned. NOT ANSWERED question, (directed at tion, for business, you can bet your life that firms such as the banks and the chain stores would be just as loud in their approval of one-way streets. But such is not the case and to ignore such qualified observations, is tanta- mount to complete disregard of the interests of the businessmen On the other hand, half a dozen endorsements of the one- way street system were quoted on behalf of the city's plan to have King street a one-way street -- but in every instance, such endorsements were written by either the traffic engineer or the city engineer of the city con- This, according to the bus!- messmen of Oshawa_ probably gives an accurate picture of the easing of the traffic situation but it does not answer -- r. amus and Mr. Richardson) as whether or not, one-way traf- fic causes business deteriora- men were most emphatic in their desire to have council give this suggestion its most earne: consideration before making an irrevocable decision on King street. CASE SUBSTANTIATED It was again very vehemently pointed out by the businessmen, that they had substantiated their contention that one-way traffic on main business streets had a detrimental effect on re- tail trade. These opinions were expressed by reputable business establishments as indicated by respondence from the To- tonto Dominion Bank and the cor: F. W. Woolworth Company. As Mr. Johnston pointed out, "Tf one-way streets were good In actual fact, Mr. Damus, in reply to this question gave a st| straightforward answer to the effect that the terms of refer- ence for the survey didn't in- clude any reference to the ef- fect on business and therefore he was not in a position to give a qualified answer to this point. Despite the contentious nature of the subject under discussion and the evident seriousness with which the Oshawa businessmen viewed the whole picture, it was gratifying to note the co-opera- tive spirit in which city. council listened to the tion of the brief so ably handled by John Greer, No doubt more will be heard before a definite de- cision is reached as to the fu- ture of King street. $4000 Damage In Roof Fire Oshawa firefighters do not know what started a fire in the kitchen roof of the home of Nicholas Andrinovich, that caus- ed an estimated $4000 to the building Saturday.
