Threat Of Export Loss Pushes Harbor Dredging Oshawa' had to sail all the way to the federal government before - s ting its harbor dredged spring. A message to Finance Minis- ter Walter Gordon about the possible loss of overseas ex- ports turned the tide, Fred harbor commission) Referring to a. letter sent by the harbor commission to Osh- awa's industrial commission about harbor depths, he said "contrary to what I see in the press I think that's a darn good letter." 'OLD RUNAROUND' Th i i ission Malloy, harbor commission ie industrial comm chairman, told city council last/felt it was getting the "old run- night around" as the letter, in part, Mr. Malloy, council's repre- sentative on the commission, told council about the dredging problems encountered earlier! this year. He said the harbor is usually dredged in April but the work was not scheduled for April this year. After the first depth sound- ing was taken at the harbor, he said, it was determined that average-size oi! tankers could be admitted. But, he said, an exceptional- ly large tanker ran aground on a sandbar at the entrance, was not damaged, but had to dump part of its load in Toronto. "We found we were not go- ing to be able to accept over- seas vessels for scheduled Gen- eral Motors shipments," said Mr. Malloy. FROM U.S. PORTS He said he went to Ottawa to try and speed up dredging but officials told him GM could ship vehicles overseas from U.S. ports. Mr. Malloy said he got word to Mr. Gordon that "this was imperilling the trade position" as GM would ship U.S.-bullt vehicles from U.S. ports, not Canadian-built vehicles. He said the next night a dredging machine, that had been working at Cobourg, ar- rh in Oshawa to dredge the Mr. Malloy asked, and coun- cil agreed, to send a letter to|S suggested the commission could help by writing to the depart- ment of transport '"'asking for co-operation in having all nec- essary dredging completed as early as Mother Nature per- mits in the new year." ; Ald. Richard: Donald, at the commission meeting, said the letter was "bloody insulting'. He said last night he did not think the letter (sent by W. A. Hillman, harbor commission secretary) was a good one but he apologized for his language "made in the heat of discus- sion." Don't give it another thought," replied Mr. Malloy.

He said the study would be reviewed next April. Cars are one Oshawa product shipped out of the harbor 'this year. A General Motors spokesman says two shipments, totalling 300 cars, have been shipped to the government urging that the Oshawa harbor be dredged in April each year. eden so far this year. It is not known whether any more car shipments will be made this shipping season. Minimum Housing Bylaw Wanted Right Now: MD Oshawa's board of health has asked city council to consider a of a minimum stan- dards housing bylaw in the "immediate future." Dr. W. G. McKay, board chairman, in a letter to council, said a proposed bylaw was dis- cussed with officials of the community. planning branch, department of municipal af- fairs. He said city officials were in- formed that before such legisla- tion would be considered, an urban renewal study should be undertaken and such a study would not be completed for about two years. "The board feels that the need for such a bylaw is most apparent and that a delay of some two years while an urban renewal study is completed, is most unnecessary," said Dr. McKay. Anti-Manager Vote Referred An Oshawa and District Labor Council resolution urging city council to establish the office of mayor on a full time basis was referred last night to council-in- committee. The labor council is urging city council to "oppose" the city manager type of municipal government 'which would usurp the functions of the mayor and council"'. Ald. Clifford Pilkey, acting mayor last night in the absence of Mayor Lyman Gifford, sug- gested the resolution go to coun- cil in committe for discussion. Council agreed to accept: the lproposed bylaw. Ald. Hawyard Murdoch suggested city clerk Roy Barrand check with the municipal affairs department to see if it would accept. the proposed bylaw. He also sug- gested Dr. C. C. Stewart, med- ical officer of health or Dr. J. E. Watt, supervisor of envir- onmental sanitation, who draft- ed the bylaw, attend a council in committee meeting to dis- cuss the bylaw. Planning board, at a meeting last month, decided to investi- gate the possibility of an urban renewal study in 1966 and also to invite municipal affairs and Central' Mortgage and Housing Corporation: officials to a meet- ing with council in September to explain study procedures. According to a CMHC report, 170 homes in the city are sub- standard. Dr. Watt says his office re- ceives daily complaints of over- crowding, inadequate ventila- tion and sanitation, but exist- ing legislation is insufficient to effectively deal with them. | Expectant Queen Doing Just Fine | CORFU, Greece (Reuters)-- Danish - born Queen Anne-Ma- rie -of Greece, who-has been having labor 'pains since early Saturday, is in 'excellent' con- dition, it was announced today.

Ald. Margaret Shaw called the public works commit- tees' recommendation "ridicu- lous." But council, except for Ald. Shaw. and Ald.
