City Will Cut Private A $12,000 tree cutting pro- gram on private property, de- signed to help stop the spread of Dutch elm disease, will start |soon, P, J. Kennedy, city parks, iproperty and recreation com- missioner, said today the pro- }gram will start as soon as the Minister of Agriculture ap- proves a bylaw giving the city authority to enter private |property to cut down the dead and diseased trees. He said about 25 property owners have already asked that trees on their property be }removed. "We can handle a few more," said Mr. Kennedy, adding that if anyone has an elm tree on their property that they think should be removed because of the disease, to call the parks department at 723-9298. Two in- spectors have been appointed Trees to check suspected diseased trees. Mr. Kennedy said the city's application for funds under the winter works incentive program has been approved. The city will pay $3,000 of the cost; the province $3,000; and the fed- eral government, $6,000. There will be no direct charge to property owners. Two years ago the city cut down and burned over 1,000 dead and diseased elm trees on public land. Legislation giving a munici- pality authority to enter private land to cut down elm trees was approved by the province last year, under the Plant Diseases Act. Mr. Kennedy said the trees will be cut down by a private firm under contract, as special- ists are required. City employ- Ontario Water Resources Com- mission recommendations con- cerning the city's sewage treat- ment plant have all been ini- tiated, says Fred Crome, works commissioner. He also said today that Rob- son-Lang Leathers Ltd., is tak- ing steps, as recommended by the commission, to provide the required pre - treatment of wastes. The commission Thursday warned 13 Lake Ontario com- munities, including Oshawa and Whitby, to remove sources of industrial and civic pollution. No time limit or penalties were set. The recommendations were based on a surface quality ob- jectives report which contained information gathered during the past three years. Two specific recommendations were included in the report con- cerning Oshawa and one con- cerning Whitby. They were: --the city should continue its study of operational difficulties at the sewage treatment plant; --the tannery: in the city should spare no effort to pro- vide the required pre-treatment of wastes in order to secure a connection. to the municipal sew- age works system; --efforts should be continued by Whitby to correct its inter- mittent waste treatment prob- lem. 2 Mr. Crome, noting that the commission report is based on ke Pollution Warning Given City Recommendations Implemented, Crome Says facilities at the tannery because wastes are so strong they can- not be accepted without pre- treatment. Mr. Crome added that the tan- nery has been installing pre- treatment equipment and that if tests prove satisfactory a con- nection to the sewage system will be provided. "Every effort is being made to improve the situation," said Mr. Crome. He also noted that a $115,000 trickling filter is scheduled for construction during the next few months to provide additional capacity at the treatment plant. A contract for the project has been awarded and work will start if and when Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation approves a loan application, The project has received ap- proval of the water resources commission and the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board. The commission report also said the chemical analyses and physical determinations on raw water samples collected at the Oshawa, Belleville and Kingston water works revealed slightly increasing hardness and alkalin- ity during the period of the sur- vey, with the chloride content well within commission objec- tives. The report said there was a gradual increase of iron in the lake at Oshawa. information gathered from 1962 to 1965, said it was "rather out of date'. He said the commission made three recommendations concern- ing the sewage plant in May, 1965 and that all three have been initiated. The three recommendations in May, said Mr. Crome, concern- ed a slightly longer period of chlorinating effluent; sending ees, he added, will cut up and remove the trees. Arrives It looked like spring or fall when Oshawa and district resi- dents went to bed last night-- but there was no mistaking the season of the year when they woke up today. Winter, and the city's first major snow fall, had arrived. An-inch of snow had fallen by the time most morning alarm clocks roused city resi- dents. And the weatherman was forecasting one or two more inches of snow by the end of the day.

Mr, man committee of the Council, met pith city Ald. Richard H. Donald and chartered accoun- tant Gordon W. Riehl yesterday to. lay the groundwork for preparation of the brief. These three men will write it and Mr, Roberts said they plan to have it ready for submission to Ontario Department of Edu- cation officials in Toronto. It is believed the brief will be passed on to the 14-man Board Roberts, head of = if- of Regents, recently named by the Ontario Government.

Mr. Wilson-did not agree with the $100 to $200 figure used in the story which emanated from Toronto .and said the price would fluctuate with the condi- tion of the used car being taken into consideration. Walter Wilson, sales manager of Cliff Mills Motors, agreed with the statements of Toronto dealers, that cars of the 1962-65 have declined because hun- vintage in value eta most duction by General Motors of Canada Limited has enabled dealers to give faster service to new-car buyers which has also aided in building up the used- car market. Mr. Wilson said that because of the increase in used-car stock, dealers are becoming "more selective' on the cars they take in. Toronto dealers insisted that their new-car customers are not paying more money on an cv all deal because automobile ers Ltd., publishers of a used- car valuations list six times a year, said in its latest issue used cars dropped a normal $150 in value as the result of the October changeover to a new model, but because of the excessive supply of second-hand cars, many dealers were chop- ping a further $100 to $200 for their trade-in allowances The publishing company's list is compiled in co-operation with who: are members of Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations of Canada. dealers mbers ihe A WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL MOTORISTS Mrs. Rosemary Clarke of the Oshawa Licence bureau of the Department of Trans- port, reminds motorists that the deadline for renewing 1966 plates and permits is close at hand.
