Changes In Plan Required Raina Ltd., which proposes to erect 550 apartment _ suites between Rideau and Gibbons Sts., will have to make some changes in plans if it wants city planning board approval for rezoning. At a public hearing in May several neighbors in the area objected to the heights of the three proposed buildings (12-15 stories) and the traffic that would be generated. PI board S de- cided objections raised as to the shadows cast by these build- ings were not valid. This was determined after a series of graphs and sketches were com- posed to illustrate shadow lo- cations at different times of the day and year.

HARD TO FIGHT "It was a very difficult fire to fight," said Mr. Breen. "The forest is full of hills and sand- dunes that prevent driving a truck into the immediate area. "There is only smouldering periodically bursts into flames, but we are going to dampen the whole area with water today. It should be completely out by tonight," he said. Five acres of hardwood trees that were at first believed to be in danger, were not seriously damaged.

Nearly one-half of, the Osh- awa police force'--- 38 men in- cluding Chief Walter Johnston-- turned out this morning to escort office employees and foremen to work at Ontario Malleable Iron Co. About 150 picketing steelwork- ers jeered and;yelled as police formed a corridor to let in the 20 or so employees. Some of the girl employees were in tears as they walked between the two ranks of police into the Front St. office door.

Today's incident with police followed similar incidents in- volving smaller numbers of po- lice yesterday. Yesterday morning 28 police formed a guard of honor to let jin the company's office staff and foremen. About 60 picketers stood and watched. And last night the same num- ber of police stood outside the door as employees left for home. About 20 picketers watch- ed from the shade of a nearby tree.

INCOMPETENT He said the approach to the problem made a mockery out of collective bargaining and out of Parliament. He said it was the type of thing a government resorted to when it could not jcope with a situation and he charged that the government had proven to be inept, indeci- sive and incompetent in matters of this kind. The government had obvious- jly got management to accept jthe increased wage packet of- ifered to the longshoremen by giving assurance that an _ in- quiry would be set up and that binding recommendations would be imposed regarding the work gangs and loading and unload- ing operations. He urged the government to withdraw the bill because it was setting a jbad precedence. d bi Pi b v u d bi bi »'b n it) to Board Alters Frontage Rule The bylaw governing double frontage lots will be amended if a planning board recommen- ation' is accepted by city council.
