Mary Street Work Given re ------ Three bylaws expropriating land for the widening and re- construction of Mary st., were passed last night by city. council, The expropriations provide not only for reconstruction this year as a three-lane road but also for future widening to four lanes. OFFERS APPROVED Council also approved 23 set- tlement offers ranging from $41 to $4,279. Council's works com- mittee pointed out that the offers do not preclude negotia- tions if it subsequently appears that other factors not consider- ed affect the value of the land taken. At a meeting one montlr ago, council approved a works com- mittee recommendation that Mary st., be reconstructed in 1966 basically as a three-lane road from Rossland to Ade- laide, being offset to the east from Rossland to Sutherland and offset to the west from ©1l Aberdeen to Adelaide and with widening to four lanes at the Hillcroft and Adelaide inter- sections. The fourth lane proposed in the Damas and Smith Ltd., traf- fic planning report, was post- poned until a future date. Mary st. residents in January ob- jected to the proposed recon- struction to three or four lanes. NOT UNANIMOUS Council approval of the ex- propriation bylaws was not unanimous with four and on one occasion five aldermen in oppo- sition. Ald. Richard Donald said an- other look should be taken at developing the three lanes in as straight a course as pos- sible. He said the settlement price for a store north of Ade- laide probably will not decrease in future. And, he added; that if there is the "remotest pos- sibility" that a fourth lane will not be required, the jog at Aber- deen should be eliminated.

No shots were fired in the raid, a spokesman for the To- jronto headquarters of the On- ;tario Provincial Police said this morning. He added, however, that the four men resisted arrest and Ald. Donald said 100 per cent grants are available' from the government for improvements to airports owned by municipal- ities. In the past 10 years, said Ald. Donald, the Oshawa air- port has flown into a $101,583 deficit and a "great portion" of the deficit could have been made up by grants if the city had owned the airport.

No recommendation was made by the committee last night on the possible replace- ment of the airport in another location. Mayor Lyman Gifford said the government paid for air. port lighting several years ago and he questioned future grants for improvements. NO PROVISION Ald. Donald said special cir. cumstances were involved in the government's grant for light- ing. He said there is no provi- sion in legislation for that or any payment because the. city does not own the airport. He said the government does have legislation providing for grants for airport improvements when the airport is municipally- owned. Ald. Donald said it is doubt- ful if the government will say "yes" to the $1 offer and that it may cost more to buy the airport. He added that some day government policy might change; all airports like Osh- awa might be placed on the selling market; and the city might be involved in competi- tive bidding for a parcel of ex- pensive land.
