x 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, July 24, 1963 GOOD EVENIN By JACK GEARIN a ac NEED FOR WARD SYSTEM URGENT The clamor is growing louder and louder in Oshawa for a return to the Ward system, abandoned locally in the mid- 1930's, The latest to jump on the bandwagon is no less a person- | than Mayor Lyman Gifford, , Since his return last De- Scember after two years of > political exile His Worship has become more and more * convinced about one thing some of our densely-popu- > jated areas are sadly in need jof representation at City } Hall, thanks to the present } electoral' system which per- | mits clusters of aldermen (or trustees) from one area with- ' out assurance that represen- . tation will be spread out be) evenly, Mr, Gifford, with his well- known penchant for grasping the bull by the horns and getting down to serious busi- + ness when important work is to be done, came out this week and stated bluntly, as only the squire of Sydenham Farm can: "I am going to bring the matter of the ward system up in September, The question should be discussed and acted upon soon, It Is an off-year There's no election this December, so no one can accuse me of trying to make political capital out of this." The announcement would not go down too well with some of Mr. Gifford's Council colleagues who, ufidoubtedly regard the Ward system as a direct threat to their political future The thing that sparked the announcement was the most recent appearance before Council of Mr. John DeHart, the polite, persistent spokesman for the Lake Vista Ratepayers' Association who turns periodically to remind Council how grim things are generally down his way insofar as co-opera- tion from City Hall is concerned "How about taxpayers in other parts of the City?" asked Mr. Gifford after Mr. DeHart suggested that the need for the Ward system, 'How well are they represented? Who speaks for them?" Mr. Gifford thought the ward system could save Council much time as al! areas would be represented and complaints would be channelled through much quicker. One of his most astounding statements was this: "There are no alderman resident of that vast City area south of the CPR tracks.' Our statistical department quickly produced some popu- lation facts and figures that disturb people like Mr. Giterd: The below-King street population of Oshawa from east to west is 34,548, yet only four of the 12 aldermen currently on Council live in that sector (Walker, Dyer, Bint and Down) -- three of the f live nearby each other immediately south of King. Alderman Down lives on his farm in an obscure southeast sector. Eight aldermen reside above-King (Branch, Dafoe, Mur- doch, Brady, Attersley, Rundle, Gay and Pilkey). Thanks to the present electoral system, thousands in this City lack an elected representative at City Hall who je inti- mately acquainted with the peculiar problems of their district. Imagine The fast-growing' southeast Apple Hill area -- which seems to get such a rough deal assessment- wise as compared with higher income northern areas like Masson -- lacks a representative to plead its case on Council, as does Lake Vista. Council represeniation is currently lopsided in favor of those areas north of King street. The Ward system would enable elected representatives to get closer to the people; under the present system,' it is physically impossible to do this because aldermen lack sufficient work-free hours from their employment places to get around and visit all areas. Representation by population is a democratic right that ahould not be denied municipal voters in this City. There is another point in favor of the Ward system -- it would have @ negative effect on the so-called pressure groups who would like to "take over" The Ward system, nstituted via a municipa Counce MAYOR GIFFORD this !
