WHITBY And DISTRICT Manager: John Gault Whitby Bureau Office: 111 Dundas St. West THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, March 19,1964 5 Tel. 668-3703 Fire Hall Issue Is Hot Already Whitby's new fire hall hasn't been built yet, but it is already a hot issue. The Town Properties Commit- tee submitted a, recommendas} tion to town council Monday night that set the blaze. They suggested that specifica- tions for the new fire hail in- clude a clause that the contrac- tor must be in contractual rela- tions with the various building trades unions affiliated with the District Building and Construc- tion Trades Council. ~ . It suggested further that the architect be advised of this. "In that case," said Council- Jor Harry Inkpen, "the small contractor with no union will be deprived of the chance of bid- ding on the project. "If he is in a position to be able to build a firehall, he is in a position to have his employees certified," returned Councillor Tommy Edwards. NO RESTRICTIONS "It places no restrictions at all," added Deputy-Reeve George Brooks. "It was in the contract for the County Build- ing, and we had no problems there." The Council then went into Committee of the Whole in order to allow Councillors to speak more than once on the matter. "What if all of the workers for construction company ar2 partners, or shareholders?" ask-| ed Reeve Ev Quantrill, "'Would this mean that they cwld not bid on the project?" "T can't visualize that type of company," said Councillor Ed- wards. 'It's a matter of wheth- er we have contractual relations or not, And, if not, we are going to run into a lot of trouble." Councillor Inkpen suggested that a small contractor could be successful, and could =mploy a small construction staff. LANGUAGE STANDARD "And what if a taxpayer in town bids?" he queried further. "Do we still restrict him?" "Ts it not enough to stipulate union rates and union labor in the contract?" wondered Coun- cillor Bobby Attersley. "The language of the clause | 4m our report is accepted as , standard," returned Councillor | Edwards. | _ Councillor Inkpen moved in Committee that Councillor Attersley's suggested wording be recognized as sufficient. "The original motion »-was clearest," shot back the Deputy- Reeve. "And what is 'recog- "But what if the bidder has no contract with the Council?" asked Councillor Inkpen. "What if he is not large enough?" DON'T WANT TO TALK "Refer it back to Committee for clarification," the Reeve re- quested, "I don't want to talk about it} 1964. any more." The Council, with the excep- tion of Messrs. Brooks, agreed to this amend- ment, which rendered Councillor Inkpen's motion on wording lost. They moved out of Committee and passed the Property Com- mittee report with the removal of the original recommendation. "IT want to discuss the rami- fications," Councillor Edwards continued on a Point of Order. "Are we delaying anything?" Davidson assured him that the reclarifica- tion of the clause would have no effect on the progress of pre- construction negotiations. Councillor Bill Edwards and SLIGHT RISE A 0.53 mill increase over last, year's mill rate is featured in Ontario County's budget for Outlined to County Council Wednesday by Finance Com- mittee Chairman W. H. Gould, the budget estimates this year's tétal County expenditure at $2,973,911. Included in this sum are General Fund, $952,536, and Fairview Lodge, $461,025, with $1,560,350 allotted for projected Roads and Bridges expendi- tures. The 1964 mill rate of 12.72 per cent has been upped slight- ly from last year's 12.19 figure to compensate for what Com- mittee Chairman Gould term- ed "a general increase in equal- ized assessment, and salary revisions." Taxes for 1964 are to be PERSONALS levied on an equalized assess- ment of $104,255,847.

He said "rumors" that the building would be demolished on transference of the County Gov- ernment to the new County Seat on Rossland road were "'com- pletely false". various Children's Aids through- out Ontario had risen consid- erably in the past year).

Brooks Denies Teardown Report The Deputy Reeve also squelched a report, printed in the same mewspaper article, which suggested the County was "wondering what to do' with its two historic cannonds situated in front of the County Buildings. "General sentiment' indicates people want the old County Building to remain," he stated. "There are a number of groups and service :lubs interested in its maintenance." "As for the cannons, as far as we know, the property commit- tee has every intention of mov- ing them up to the new County Building."

(Councillor Inkpen had suggest- ed the term "recognized union lJabor".) Councillor Inkpen returned to his argument on behalf of small, non-union contractors, "Smaliness has nothing to do with it," Mr. Brooks answered. "T can hire one carpenter to- morrow, and he can be either union or non-union. "A contractor can have 10,000 non-union employees, and he can have 25 union employees."
