Richard Donald last night at a planning board meeting. "Smaller green areas might be of more service to residents of an area than larger parks several blocks away," he said. Mayor Lyman Gifford pointed out, and Ald. Donald agreed, that the smaller parks would increase maintenance costs.

Clifford Pilkey said he More 'Tot Parks' In City Urged At Planners Meeting did not entirely agree that subdividers should have to pay for services on subdivision park land frontage. He said the ser- vice cost would not be a hard- ship on subdividers required to give park land with only 100 feet frontage tothe city but would be a hardship with larger frontages. G. A, Wandiless, planning di- rector, said there is nothing to say that the board cannot have subdividers pay park land front- age service costs, The board agreed to recom- mend to council acceptance of cash in lieu of land on two smaller plans of subdivisions of six and 10 lots because five per- cent of the lands would be too small for "tot parks". ee $100 Fee Move By Board To Eliminate Frivolity A $100 fee may be charged major rezoning applications.

In- stead, he said, council suggested it be held at the Oshawa Shop- ping Centre. WIRING MONEY SPENT Mr. Martin pointed out that the league spent considerable money on underground wiring at the police station site for the safety league operation. "City council is bucking us at every move," he charged. Ald. Brady said council has not suggested anything regard- ing the safety lane. He said | his traffic committee has written to Mr. Feltis suggesting a meeting be set up to discuss the location of the lane as the parking lot now used is "needed for park- ing' Ald. Brady also referred to the government's new compul- sory car checks throughout the province and said the traffic committee is suggesting the Osh- awa safety lane be held next to the Department of Transport of- fice at the Shopping Centre.
