{PSS demeronineeenia--anas 4 x a } THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, Mey 30, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE START SEEN NEAR The way appears to be clear now for an early start on construction of that new Ontario County courthouse in Whitby, the one that had so many people in a dither last year. The City of Oshawa is awaiting approval from the On- tario Municipal Board of a bylaw already given two readings -- it calls for an expenditure of approximately $350,000 as Oshawa's share of the project, The . courthouse will be part of the new $1,000,000 Ontario County Administra- ion and Administration of Justice Building, a three- wing, two-storey structure on a 15-acre land parcel at the Third Concession (Rossland road) and Garden street in north Whitby. One wing will be for County use. The other two will house courtrooms and the administration of ustice offices, Costs will be levied on a per capita as- sessment basis. Cost of the Administration of Justice, or courthouse, section was estimated at $676,000, half of which is to be levied against the City. City Council gave two readings to the $350,000 by- law last February 4, but this was preceded by months of delay and dispute, some- times bitter, between the City and Ontario Coiinty Counci. County Council came right out in the open last July and accused the City of "deliberately stalling" for months on the courthouse project. Reeve Sherman Scott of Pickering Township said he seriously doubted if the City wanted a new courthouse at all, The County was ready to force the City to act by proceeding under the Arbitration act, but Reeve Heber-Down of Whitby Township urged cautio! ("I hope we nevef see the day when we have to go to arjitration with the City."). The City sent a letter to County Council last July 25 which stirred up a major rumpus. It also necessitated an emergency meeting of the latter group at a cost of $760.55 to the taxpayers -- the City's letter politely declined an in- vitation from the County's Property committee for further meetings with the City's special courthouse committee. The letter suggested, not too subtly, that County Council didn't actually know' what its committee was up to. The City want- ed to meet direct with the Council. This latter statement was almost tantamount to declara- 'tion of civil war and was seriously resented by the reeves 'and their deputies who quickly voted a motion of confidence in support of their committee. The Ontario County Law Society campaigned long and hard for a new courthouse, as did other influential groups, 'but there was another side to the story. City Council was beset with financial woes, charges of over-spending; it was understandably apprehensive lest it be asked toebear more than its just share of the costs of the courthouse, no trifling sum. If there was any fault to be found with the 1960-62 Council, it procastinated too long on this matter, turned and looked the other way as if to ignore the problem altogether. The picture has changed this year. Negotiations with County Council have progressed rapidly. The old spirit .of harmony between the City and the County Council has re- turned. HEBER DOWN 3 FIRMS GET COMPENSATION CHEQUES ' The City has mailed compensation cheques to the three tirms that formerly used the King street CNR tracks -- Bathe and McLellan Building Supplies Ltd., Lander Coal Co. Ltd., and McLaughlin Coal and Supplies Ltd. Each received $10,000 as part of their agreement with the City COOKSVILLE, Ont. (CP) -- Two Americans pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to robbing a bank here Monday and kid- napping two bank tellers as hos- tages. > Melvin G. Brown, 35, of Hous- ton, Tex., and Donald Cotham, 33, of Tacoma, Wash., were re- manded in custody for sentence Guilty Verdict In $2,000,000 Fraud Counts LONDON, Ont, (CP)--Harold Arnold Williams, 49, former president of the now defunct Mid-Erie Acceptance Corpora- tion Limited, was convicted Wednesday of six counts of fraud involving more than $2,- 000,000. A Middlesex County jury de- liberated three hours before re- turning the verdict on the charges laid by the Ontario Se- curities Commission. The prosecution called more than 30 witnesses in the six-day trial-.Earlier Wednesday Judge Wilfrid S. Lane warned the jury that several witnesses in the trial "come close, in my view, to being accomplices," and their evidence should be scruti- nized carefully, There was no indication of when Williams will be sent- enced. After the verdict a series of character witnesses began to testify, 'aod the judge indicated t a pre-sentence report will be prepared, Williams was convicted of forging commercial papers or documents; uttering, between September, 1957, and Novem- ber, 1959, documents he knew to be forged and attempting to cause persons to act upon them as if they were genuine; falsi- fying the Mid-Erie books or doc- uments; making false state- ments in writing to the Bank of Montreal for the purpose of pro- curing money, loans or exten- sion of credit; making similar false statements to the Royal Trust Company, and circulating or publishing a false prospectus with the intent of inducing per- sons to become Mid-Erie share- | holders. | Testimony was that about $1,- 600,000 worth of now-worthless| Mid-Erie shares were sold in Saskatchewan prior to 1960. CBC Expenses | Said Rising Two Plead Guilty | In Bank Robbery June 12, Hearing on a charge of attempted murder against both men was also remanded to the same date. Police said $9,729 taken in the armed robbery was recovered when the two men, who escaped! in a stolen police cruiser, were arrested after a nine-mile run- ning gun battle, Toronto Township Detective George Wilson said Patrol Sgt. Bernard Oakes, 45, was wounded twice in the arm as the gunmen led tellers Patrick David Gruber, '21, of Cooksville and Barry Johnston, 20, of Bur- lington out of the bank,' He said Sgt. Oakes fired five shots, despite his wounds, when the bandits opened fire on an- other constable as they fled ina police cruiser. Det. Wilson said a cruiser driven by Det. Douglas Burrows was riddled by nine bullets dur- ing the chase and one bullet struck Det, Wilson's cruiser. CRUISGR SKIDDED Det. Burrows's cruiser skidded into a field when he rammed the bandits' car. He commandeered a car driven by Clayton Smith of Cooksville and the excitement of chase he may have suggested shooting one of the hostages and dump- ing him on to the road to stop the pursuing police, but said he had no real intention of doing it. "If we had, it would have been done," he said. Magistrate H. T. G. Andrews said the police and citizens in- volved deserved every credit for their courage under fire. Their actions spoke well of their personal courage and sense of duty. "It would be simple to sent- ence you to 15, 20 or 25 years," he told the two men. "But you have an awful lot to answer for and I must be sure the sentence is just." Canada-Latin Competition May Increase OTTAWA (CP) -- G.

He was ruling on an appeal concerning a Chippewa' Indian who shot two ducks out of sea- son last September on the Ket- tle Point Indian Reserve near Sarnia. He dismissed an appeal by the attorney - general of Canada against the acquittal last De- cember of Calvin William George, charged under the Mi- gor Birds Convention Act of George, father of eight, was acquitted, by Sarnia Magistrate J.C.

Meanwhile, the cost of equip- ping eight RCAF squadrons in Europe with CF-104 low-level jet bombers has climbed to $468,000,000 or $48,000,000 more than the original 1959 estimate, 1, $80,000,000 for 45 anti-sub- marine helicopters for the navy. Expenditures this year will be $11,000,000 for 15 machines. 2, $88,000,000 for 190 CF-114 jet trainers for the RCAF. Expend- itures this year will total $45,- Cost of the 200 CF-104s is cal-/g50 000, culated at $430,000,000 and of 24 CF-104 trainers at $38,000,000, An expenditure of $49,400,000 in the current fiscal year will all but complete the program. The defence budget for the feel year which began April $4 963, is $1,628,833,538, an in- crease Of $38,083,363 over 1962- 63, The increase is almost wholly attributable to pay in- creases for some 121,000 sery- icemen retroactive to Oct. 1, 1962. The defence appropriations were prepared by the former Conservative government. So far, the only change the Liberal avernment has made has been to add $38,000,000 for the armed forces pay boost.

The Board of Transport Commissioners removed the last roadblock in the way of such payment recently when it officially ordered the tracks removed. The three King street firms have not yet started to use the new coal-unloading yard at Athol and Mary streets. The CNR is putting in a drainage system, but the firms have ade- quate stockpiles available to carry on until the yard is opgned sometime next week. The yard location is opposed by many downtown firms, but it is a compromise arrangement and a most desirable one in that it helped pave the way for a solution of the knotty tracks dispute. BATTLE OF THE SIDEWALKS LULL SEEN All was officially quiet again today along King-street in 'the controversial Battle of the Sidewalks, which threatens to divide the City into two widely-separated camps. There were unmistakable signs that some kind of agree- ment could be reached between the City and the property owners, at least between the 37 of 58 owners who formally «petitioned against the levy of 100 percent costs to them. The interested parties met for mare than four hours Tuesday. Chances seem good that the City will make a new *application to the Department of Highways for higher grants on the King street overhaul job; in some circles there is a feeling that the City has not. asked the Province for enough "pn the Local improvements in view of the fact that this is an arterial highway.
