Curbs Due On Waste Into Sewers The discharge of wastes into) the public sewer system will) | be reguiated by a new com- prehensive city bylaw. Fred Crome, city commis- sioner of. works, says certain types of industrial wastes have always been prohibited from being dum into Oshawa sewers. But the previous bylaw oy more general and didn't exactly what could or could pod be deposited into the sewer system, he said. The---new--bylaw.--stipulates with scientific accuracy the kind, amount and temperature of wastes which can be dis- posed of via either sanitary or storm sewers. "This follows very closely the Ontario Water Resources Commission requirements con- cerning industrial wastes," said Mr, Crome. Storm sewers drain directly into natural water courses, said the works commissioner, there- fore restrictions have to be more severe to prevent pollu- tion, "Care must also be taken when, dumping certain types of waste into the sanitary sewer system," he said, If the wrong kind is intro- duced into the system it may result in a break-down of the sewage treatment process, "We've had in the past a great deal of co-operation from local industry regarding the dis- posal of wastes," said Mr. Crome. The new bylaw gives the city authority and provides industry with an exact guide for dispos- ing its wastes. Copies of the bylaw are being circulated to industry in the area, Fines of up to $300 are pro- vided, for each contravention of the bylaw.

It is a yellow, 1920 Packard roadster used as a rum-run- ner across the Canadian-U.S, border, according to Herb Brennan, assistant - manager of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. The two-seater auto has two six-cylinder engines which operates off a twin ignition system, It also uses a pres- surized gas tank in obtaining speeds up to 100 mph. The present value of the old Packard has been estimated at $12,000, having originally sold for $6,500. It weighs about three tons and has an overall length of 20 feet. Labor Unrest Up By $7,146 Welfare costs for the first half of 1966 soared to $214,439, Up $27,484 compared with the same period in 1965. For June the cost was $36,677, an increase of $7,146 from the same month last year, Herb Chesebrough, city wel- fare administrator, says the sharp rise in welfare costs can be attributable to several rea- sons, The main one, he said, is the labor unrest that has prevailed in the city during the month of June and now continuing in July. "There's been a lot of strikes in Oshawa during June," said Mr. Chesebrough, 'and this has caused an increase in welfare cases," The welfare administrator said welfare is not paid to per- sons on strike but is dolable for separated wives of husbands on strike. A plant of 550 workers, he said, might employ 35 to 40 sep- |arated husbands, Welfare Bill Has Increase Key Cause During June "Things are good now but they're not as good as they were in 1965," he said. The employment situation in the city was given as another cause of increased welfare costs, "There is no factory work available and construction has eased off," said Mr. Chese- brough. The number of employable people on welfare has_ in- creased by 134 to 223 compared with 89 in June, 1965, The biggest single item of cost on the June, 1966 report is shelter which amounted to $10,- 836, an increase of $3,350 from last year. "People on welfare have to pay from $15 to $25 a month more rent now than they. did in 1965,"" said Mr, Chesebrough, Administration costs on the whole remained relatively un- changed compared with the same month last year. A slight increase was noticed as the cost for the month totalled $6,036, up $381, the report indicated. $4,000,000 Due | | | New schools and school addi- tions in Oshawa this year will cost approximately $4,000,000. The Board of Education will spend $3,365,000 for the con- Struction of one secondary school, oné public schoo] and a school addition, almost $3,000,- 000 more than the Separate School Board will spend for one School building and an addition to another. Separate School Board construction costs will be $398,000 Eastdale Collegiate on Har- mony Rd. N., will cost approxi- mately $3,000,000 and house about 50 classrooms, new school. He said about 40 teachers will comprise the school's staff. The public school, Beau Val- ley on Ritson Rd. N., is esti- mated to cost about $235,000 and require nine teachers, said C. Bows, deputy business ad- said Mr,| R, 'V. Sheffield, principal of the) 'On School Costs school board. A six-classroom addition to Vincent Massey school, costing aaa will be completed by all St. Michael's Separate School on Vancouver Cres., is expect- ed to be completed by Aug. 15 and to consist of eight class- rooms. 000. | An addition to St. Francis school on Elmridge Ave., will be larger than the present school and cost $204,000, said |Frank Shine, separate school business administrator, The addition consists of eight ; rooms, a library classroom and an all purpose room, The pre- vious school building had six classrooms, "All Grade 7 and 8 classes of St. Hedwig's, St. Gertrude's and St. Francis' will be moved to the new addition and form a | ministrator of the separate senior section of rotary classes," said Mr, Shine. Contract price is $194,-| Adjustment Committee Holds Meet Committee of adjustment had a full agenda when they met this week to rule on applica- tions to breach the city's zon- ing bylaws, An application from Mr, G. Bruni of 322 Albert St. to re- place an existing verandah with an enclosed porch and a fruit cellar was approved, says Bob Henderson, secretary - treasurer of the committee. A condition of approval was that the new construction not come any closer to the property line than the present structure. And the new addition not ex- tend beyond the south house wall line, Mr. J. Scrivanich, 278 Nipi- gon St. was granted permission to build a house on an irregular parcel of land on Park Rd.-N, The house will have insuffi- cient rear yard, a contraven- tion of the zoing bylaw which requires a minimum of 25 feet of rear yard, said the secre- tary-treasurer, Partial relief to a city bylaw was given Holshawa Ltd. when it made application to the com- mittee of adjustment. The developer wanted to stag- ger setbacks on a portion of Volendam Ave., said Mr. Henderson. The front yard depths of the setbacks were less than the foot- age required by the zoning by- law, Sisters of St. Joseph for the diocese of Toronto were grant- ed. permission to sever a par- cel of land on Rossland Rd. W., west of Stevenson's Rd. N, TWO CONDITIONS Two conditions were part of the approval, A request from T. W. Shep- herd of 911 Ritson Rd..N. to sever a building lot was refused, the secretary-treasurer said, The committee decided this would create premature de- velopment in the area if the request was granted, Mr. H. Lofthouse, 110 Town- line Rd, N., was granted per- mission to retain his house with a parcel of land and sell the remainder of his property. Consents for permission to sever property were given by the committee to five property owners on ParkjJane Ave., said Mr. Henderson. This was to permit the gathering of land for a future plan of subdivision in the area, he added, The property owners involved were; Mr. and Mrs, Charles Twiming, 860 Parklane; Mr, and Mrs. Gregory Brady, 870 Parklane; Mr. and Mrs, Karl Griffith, 890 Parklane; Mrs, Phyllis G. Souch, 904 Parklane and Mr, and Mrs. George Mathews, 914 Parklane. Simcoe St. Area To Be One-Way Simcoe St. will become one- way northbound between Fair- banks St. and Brock St. as at 12:01 a.m., Thursday, July 28. At the same time the balance of Centre St. will be opened through to Simcoe St. §., in- cluding Fairbanks St. This will complete the north- south one-way street system as proposed in the Damas-Smith traffic planning report, a traf- fic department spokesman said today. The east-west one-way sys- tem was completed in June of 1965, TREES MIGHT SPRING UP Planting trees on five per cent of the unused land in Latin America and Africa could produce 10 times Europe's lum- ber output.

Packet Freight Outlet Studied Canada Steamship Limes may establish a package freight service in Oshawa, Norman Hand, a representa- tive of the 39-vessel line, was in Oshawa this week to survey the market potential of such a service from the harbor. Wilf Gillberry, harbor man- ager, said the steamship line is looking for a port east of To- ronto to compliment its estab- lished operation at Port Credit on the west side of Toronto. Oshawa, the harbor manager said, has the port facilities to accommodate a service of this nature, "If this were established here, it would mean local manu- facturers could import and ex- port package freight at a more economical rate," he said. This would represent a sav- ing in freight costs and also a reduction in shipping time. Sea transport or water trans- port is the least expensive of surface transportation, Mr. Gill- berry added. Zeta-Xi, a sorority of 12 girls between the ages of 15- 19, have donated $38.75, to the Oshawa centennial pro- ject in the Civic Auditor. ium complex. To raise the money, the girls washed cars at an Oshawa Shop- ping Centre BA service sta- ton for one dollar per car, on June 19. The money that was raised, plus tips from car owners, was turned over to the centennial pro- ject. The Zeta-Xiidoes other GIRLS HELP CITY CENTENNIAL PROJECT charity work -- just about anything they can get. When they are not doing charity work, they meet for study, or. pyjama~ parties.
