'She Osharoa Sones OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1966 The rising cost of living is "putting the squeeze' on old age pensioners says city welfare administrator H. G. Chese- brough. He said today $2 pensioners received supplementary aid in January -- a near record high -- compared to 76 persons re- ceiving supplementary aid in vary held the number of per- sons receiving welfare assist- ance to 698 compared with 884 persons receiving assistance in January, 1965, "That represents less than 1 percent of the city's population which is very good," he said. $1,400 EXTRA Last month 252 of the persons Pensioners Hard Hit: Chesebrough who received welfare assistance were employable compared to 446 employable persons receiv« ing assistance in January, 1965, Mr. Chesebrough said the gross cost of welfare in Janu- ary increased about $1,400 over January, 1965, because of gov- ernment authorized rate ine creases introduced last year, January, 1965. 'PRETTY TOUGH' "We can pay pensionérs up to $20 a month for shelter, drugs or other continuing expenses if they qualify under a means test," said Mr. Chesebrough. "But, even with $95 a month, including the $75 pension and $20 supplementary aid, it's pretty tough for them to get Mr. Chesebrough said he ex-| pects federal and provincial le-| gislation, to be introduced this) year, will increase the $20 sup- plementary aid limit. He also said an expected in- crease in the number of public housing units for older persons in Oshawa will help. MOVE IN "Our big problem is still hous-| ing," said the welfare admini- strator. He said 12 of the 18 public housing units for families on Lomond st., will be occupied by families this weekend. Plans are also under way to construct an additional 30 senior citizen and 35 family public housing units. Mr. Chesbrough said high em- ployment in Oshawa during Jan- $600,000 Tab | j said Mr. Lewis.

"It will nine years." Mr. Malloy said the harbor| commission lost business last! year, including some General) Ltd., shipments, be-| cause of late dredging. But, this year he said depart- ment of transport officials as- sured him they would do their best to have the harbor. dredg- ed early, possibly by late April. The commission chairman also said a depth sounder has been purchased and depth soundings pvill be made in the harbor every two weeks. Almost all the dredging spoil removed from the harbor this year will be used to complete the reclaiming of nine acres of swampland at the north-central area of the harbor. Mr. Malloy said the commission hopes to have a gravel surface on the land by September. Mr. Malloy said the yard be hind the east harbor has de- veloped several soft spots and |be a record depth for the past|the commission will be spend+ ing $8,000 to $10,000 to fill them in with rocks and stones. A ground covering will also be provided. The commission chairman said the $120,000 earmarked by the federal government for the Oshawa harbor will be spent on dredging and construction of an underwater retaining wall east of the harbor inlet. Next year dredging spoil will be dumped behind the wall and in about five years a 10-acre par cel of land will have been re« claimed. i Mr. Malloy. also said plans are being developed for a piet project. Details will be reveale ed later, he said. For Building Over Two Years More than $600,000 worth of municipal construction in Osh- awa has been paid by the fed- eral government during the past two years under the Municipal Development and Loan Act. A government announcement last week that the Act will be extended to Sept. 30 from March 31, will mean an additional $25,000 subsidy for the city, says Frank Markson, city treasurer. Under the act, designed to spur municipal construction, the government provides low- interest loans for capital pro- jects undertaken by municipali- ties. The act provides for the forgiveness of 25 percent of the principal amount of the loans to municipalities which com- plete their projects by the end of September. Mr. Markson said the total forgiveness which the city will receive for public works pro- jects is about $330,000. The board of education will receive a total of $310,000. Frank Shine, separate school board business administrator, said the board made one appli- cation for a $45,000 loan of which $12,000 forgiveness is ex- pected. estimated at $600.

The court decision reduced Dr. Kwan's total land and building assessment to $37,720. Judge Alex Hall granted the further $2,500 reduction during a two-hour hearing at city hall.

A native of Oshawa, Mr. Crome has been city engineer since 1953. He has been a member of the association executive since 1962. He is also a mem- ber of the city engineers advi- sory committee to the Minister of Highways. Mr. Crome parti- cipated this week in a panel discussion on "county road needs study' at the Ontario Good Roads Association conven- tion. CRITICAL BYLAW Bylaw number one on every regular council. agenda -- to confirm proceedings of the pre- vious meeting -- is usually pass- ed without anyone batting an eyelash. But, not this week. Eyelashes batted; eyebrows raised; tongues wagged; and council members decided to postpone approvalof bylaw number one until the next meet- ing for "clarification". 85 QUERIED Council asked the city solicitor to explain why bylaw number one was to confirm all proceed- ings at the Feb. 7 council meet- ing "with the exception of reso- lution number 85', That resolution dealt with council's approval of John Fo- ley's 35-lot plan of subdivision on Nipigon st. Ald. Richard Donald, after the Feb. 7 meeting, wrote the department of municipal affairs and asked that the subdivision plan not be approved because he said council had not voted Usually A Formality But Not This Meeting "properly" in favor of approval and also because council had ims posed one improper condition of approval -- payment by Mr. Foley, of service charges on @ road opening outside his subdi- vision, Ald. Donald said today he has not yet received a reply to his letter to the department of mu- nicipal affairs. SEPARATE BYLAW Roy Barrand, city clerk, told council that city solicitor Hugh Couch had told him some items council approves by resolution should not be approved by the confirming bylaw but rather, should be approved by a sep. arate bylaw. As an example, some projects require Ontario Municipal Board approval before council can ap- prove them by bylaw. But, the confirming bylaw might ap- prove the project before OMB approval is received. Mr. Couch said today he would discuss the confirming bylaw with members of council. Gift From Col Local staff of the Boy Scouts |of Canada have moved into a jnew office building at Camp |Samac, built as Col. R. S. Me- |Laughlin's birthday present to local Scouts, The log-built structure will be} officially opened by Col. Mc- Laughlin sometime in April, said Stanley Richardson, dis- trict executive officer of the Boy Scouts. The building was a gift from the chairman of the board of General Motors of Canada Ltd., on his 94th birthday last year. BOARDROOM It has been designed to hold business offices, a boardroom and conference rooms. Mr. Richardson said that the offices and other facilities will house the activities of the Boy Scouts of Canada, Oshawa Dis- trict Council administrative headquarters. "This building will be a service centre for the district, which extends to Pick- ering to the west, Port Perry to Red Cedar Scout Office - McLaughlin the north, and to Bowmanville to the east," he said. Wood used in the building is British Columbia Red Cedar, |Assembly of the component ;parts of the structure was done by the Gay Co. Ltd., of Oshawa, Mr, Richardson said that the need for a new building was dic- tated by expansion of Camp Samac_ activities. "We just didn't have enough room in our former quarters," he said. SPECIAL TRAINING The new building is 96 feet long, 32 feet deep, and has @ floor area of some 3,000 square feet. "Our conference rooms will be for specialized training of Boy Scouts," Mr, Richard- son said, 'not for ordinary meetings of Scout troops. That is what the other buildings in Camp Samac are for. "Oshawa plays an important part in Scouting for Eastern Ontario," said Mr. Richardson, "We will host many important meetings here at our new head- quarters in the days ahead."
