i a I eee Ratainine @ehw wwasenney iJ s Kinsmen Stadium The wish that the Kinsmen Memorial Stadium be kept in the hands of the people of Oshawa was voiced Tuesday at the monthly meeting of the Osh- awe and District Labor Council. Victor Ayling, a delegate of Local 494, United Rubber Work- ers, moved that city council be informed of the OIpC's stand on the stadium, "City Council voted not to sell ir "at this time" on Monday"; Mr. Ayling stated "I feel this action is contrary to our think- ing and feel that the stadium should be retained, "The Kinsmen Memorial Sta- dium was paid for and bought by the people of Oshawa and given to the city. Could the same thing happen to the Civic Audi- torium?" he. queried. Ald. Mrs. Alice Reardon said that some members of council have blocked the sale for some time. "I do not think that a let- ier will do much good," she Faway ewvwse did not offer nearly enough money with which the stadium could be replaced." The ODLC approved the mo- tion.

Walker, MPP for - Oshawa Riding, this week ad- dressed the Ontario Legislature two matters connect- ed with the Ontario Department of Highways. . i Ip his remarks, he said: "T would like to mention two items which are of concern to municipalities in my riding and respectfully ask the minister to take the items under consider- ation. "First of all is the matter of the inequities which exist in the present system of highway sub-' sidies. It is true that changes have been made in subsidies which have benefitted the City -@uch as subsidies on storm sewers and increased subsidy on links and which have 'been of real assistance in the ent of the area. (75 per cent payment.) BASIC INEQUALITY "However, the basie incquity still exists. Towns, villages, townships, counties and Metro- high, I also have Townships in my Riding. partment of Highways Needs Study indicated that the great- est needs were in the urban municipalities where the sub- sidy is the least. LIMIT TO TAXATION "There is a limit to the amount of money that can be raised from municipal taxes for road purposes. Urban municipal- ities should obtain a greater pro- portion of the road user taxes that the government receives from licence fees and gasoline tax. A high proportion of the gasoline taxes results travel within cities. "Increased subsidies are re- quired if urban municipal- ities are to meet the needs out- lined in the government's Needs Study. Toronto receive road subsidies of 50 per cent of ap- proved expenditures and bridge , and culvert subsidies up to 80 'per cent of approved expendi- tures while cities and separated ' towns receive only , one-third per cent subsidy. "For examples, big such as Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, receive higher _ subsidies just because they are + called I hasten to point out that I in no way sug- gest these subsidies are too a township. I a 33 and 'cities' "Briefly, the major city in my Riding is grateful for what has been given, but it has gone only part-way to meeting the need. and the problem of road build- ing and maintenance continues to be a vexing problem to urban municipalities and its taxation picture. "T would also like to say a few words on the problem of the increasing use being made of township and county roads, by the motorists of the Province, especially on weekends. "Road construction in urban areas is more costly per mile than rural road construction. In addition the needs due to traffic demands are greater. The De- "The situation is aggravated in many cases by the establish- ment of a Conservation Area or Provincial Park, and whereas the road was formerly a quiet country road, it now becomes a busy traffic artery, even though it was not originally: required or| designed to accommodate heavy traffic. The situation creates an undue burden to the local mu- nicipality and the taxpayers in- volved, an undue burd:n which is out of all proportion to the benefits derived by the !ocal municipality by the establish- ment of these Provincial Recre- ation areas. SEEK BETTER CLASSIFICATION "Some of the townships in my riding would like the department fromjto establish a more equitable classification of roads, including roads primarily for local use, collector roads, arterial roads, and through highways which could be paralleled by a sliding scale of road grants, according to the use and needs of such roads, so that the burden of tax- ation on real estate for road portion of construction and maintenance used by local tax- payers. ' "This is a problem which is, to a degree, brought about by the rapid development of our province, but I would urge the Department to take this matter under consideration when the subsidy structure is under re- view."

Hartke wrote the president that imports of Canadian parts have forced the layoff of more than 700 employees of the gear division of Borg-Warner at Mun- cie, Ind., in recent weeks. He appealed to Johnson to block U.S. defence department purch of Canadt modant sold in competition with those produced by U.S. firms. Canada has implemented a plan to encourage greater home production of automobiles and parts by providing for remis- sion of duties on the amount of automotive imports equivalent to the increase in Canadian pro- duction.
