"Despite the glib assurances received by council and passed along to me, not a single, soll. tary damned thing has been done," Mr, Scott said in a let- ter to council last night, "However, in this age of cul- ture consciousness, that work of modern art need not be allow- ed to degenerate over the years into a mere historical ruin, not when a little foresight can transform the creation into a profitable tourist shrine," he said, "For example, the mayor could lay a sultably inscribed corner stone during a proper, widely publicized ceremony, at- tened by Bob Hope and all the usual oft photographed hangers- which destroyed the barn on the)the alarm and was able to con- farm of R.

Wandless in reply to Mr, Doherty's letter of inquiry, Dr, Doherty, a chief spokes- man for those opposed to the expressway plan, for following the Oshawa Creek Valley, wrote to the planning board Sept, 9. He said he would appreciate an opportunity to attend the planned Sept, 15 meeting where N. -E, Damas, Toronto traffic consultant, would answer spe- cific expressway questions for the board, Dr, Doherty said that his citi- zens' committee planned no sub- mission for the meeting but if requested to participate he would be happy to do so. Mr, Wandless said yesterday he checked with Ken Crone, planning board chairman, and wrote to Dr. Doherty that the board had indicatee only board members, and observers ap- pointed by council, would attend the special meeting on Sept. 15, "T regret that I am not in a position to extend you an invi- tation to attend this meeting," Mr, Wandless wrote. Said Mr. Crone today: "Any- one can comeeto the meetings. But we decided we didn't want anyone else to take part at this one, We wanted to talk things -- over (with Mr. Damas) without © getting into a debate." Last Friday Robert Nicol, campaign co-ordinator of the citizens' committee, told the Times the Creek valley people "felt rather indignant that Dr. Doherty should receive a letter from city hall stating he should net come to the meeting". "This is a gross infringement upon the rights of an individual citizen, one who is a taxpayer and one who has been cham- pioning the cause of creek val: ley preservation," said Mr, Nicol, Handling Of Luncheon Request To City Criticized By Thomas Ald, Christine Thomas last night----criticized Ald.
