problem shows change needed Kingham Hill Estates con dominium 24 is having problems with parking Its not a new problem but it is a problem which was instigated in part by the approval of the spaces on the development plan by the former Acton council It may very well be that nothing legally can be done to provide some assistance for residents of the con dominium but its problems should leaves James Taylor unknown It may be too much to expect that the recent shuffle of the Davis cabinet will bring any satisfaction to Bradley toGeorgetown voltage corridor the man who has been the chief adversary of the In terested Citizens Group since its formation has been shifted from the energy portfolio to health where he may prove to be as responsible a minister as his predecessor Frank Miller But Mr Timbrell s successor in energy James Taylor brings with him a reputation of being less than enthusisatic about citizen par in government policy His tenure as minister of com munity and social services minister caused concern over his embargo placed on members of his ministry making any public statements or releasing information public in formation without his express ap proval As well his approach to the problems of women on mother allowance made a mockery of the governments policy on welfare needs serve as a guide for future con dominium or high density housing developments in Hills Council The Herald was in formed received some incorrect information when the problem was first brought to the attention of our town fathers A director of the con dominium board called recently and said there is only one not two spaces available for each resident of the development Compounded to this problem is the per cent additional parking allocated for victors There now appears to be none available In the past five years the population surrounding Metropolitan Toronto has become more mobile partly due to economic and partly as a result of our chance in attitude toward not staying at home and living a quiet lifestyle With a lack of adequate public transit in North to provide an alternative parking problems such as the Kingham Hill situation are bound to continue surfacing It should not be swept aside with avave saying theres nothing that can be done about the situation Telling someone to find parking 12 or blocks away from his residence is in reality no answer although we are at a loss to suggest an alternative As more and more young people today strive for home ownership amid high housing costs and fluctuating interest rates the necessity for both members of a marriage to work is becoming increasingly common and with it comes a need for a second car council therefore vestigate this new phenomenon and consider increasing the need for parking spaces in condominiums at least two per unit and then consider more adequate visitor parking for such developments If council did it would be a step in the direction Homo Front On Parifamairt Hi Recurring problems keep coming for Mr Coyer By Ottawa Bureau Or The Herald Jean Pierre is undoubteJy a well meaning chap He is also well educated diligent worker an uncompromising federalist and a year veteran of Parliament A highly qualified cabinet minister you might say But the relatively quiet yearold lawyer has this one recurring problem he keeps gelling himself all snarled up In con trovers And now he is in the mldsl of that alleged blacklist of socalled revolutionaries supporting the New Left of Mr then solicitor general wrote letter accompanying the list consisting mainly of public servants and university teachers who the minister said should be watched with more than normal care Only one of the names had been made public officially and that Is Walter who was fired in 1973 as a planning director of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation The reason given at the time was that Mr had released confidential In formation to a native group but the Ontario Supreme Court later ruled he was wrongfully dismissed So far we haven t established bow the other on the list have fared under their more than normal surveillance We don t even know whether any of those Involved are aware they are on the list They should all be Informed so they will have an opportunity to defend their reputations Its fine for the Solicitor General Francis Fox to it Isn really a blacklist but the fact Is cabinet ministers have access to a list of people who In the opinion of the security force must be watched EXTRA OPPOSITION In letter to several other ministers If Coyer referred to those on the Hit members of the extra parliamentary op position The who support appear to have their aim the destruction of the milling political and social structure In for Ihc fact that our governments were still up tight about security in the wake of the 1970 October Crisis Mr should not have circulated a formal hit of nanus like this Surely if the security people eel there ore people who should be kept in view this could be without a list which likely will remain in departmental files for eternity Security services are not infallible and careers may have been drastically altered because of Mr letter It too bad that the minister is no longer in the solicitor general a portfolio so he could field some of the questions on the Issue As minister of supply and services he cannot entertain any Commons questions Involving other port folios MOUTH During previous controversies it was always fascinating to watch Mr an difficult questions because of his relentless determination to put his Toot in his mouth Remember the trouble hi had ex plaining his incredible scheme to import Keren labors to develop the Alberta tar sands And he t even minister of energy at the time Earlier while he was solicitor general we had all those prison riots And what was the name of the inmate who was given a weekend pass and ended up in Spain with his girlfriend Mr had to answer for that Then there was that business of the minister getting free airline tickets for his female friend When the issue came to light Mr paid for the ticket 1 could go on but don I think it Is necessary to further emphasize the minister questionable Judgment at times But the list may be his most serious error In judgment since It may have damaged Innocent employees And now six years alter Ihc names were originally circulated Mr Fox says he doesn know whether any of the public on the list were given an opportunity to clear their names You would think he would take the trouble find out Gosh Did you say BoyohBoy Hawaii is really sinking into oblivion BUY I It

scandal In the next election Due mainly to Liberal efforts there arc tw controversies before the public One the dispute between Gray Coach and Greyhound buslines and two the deal in which the government excused land develop ment company from some In speculation lax And it happens that Eddie Goodman in past year the number one political ad visir lo Premier Davis is up to his neck in both Issues as the lawyer Tor Greyhound and for I ton to No matter what may happen between now and then it seems almost certain that because of his political position Goodmans name will figure id theclectlon at the least in a whispering campaign and perhaps In allout accusations There is bound to be suspicion And the opposition Is bound to use this Just how much sympathy there should be also well known as Fast Eddie Is hard lo say He has been toppol Tor a long lime lit started the knee of the late Alec Mackenzie perhaps the best organizer the Ontario Tories have ever had and certainly thebcstinrccentmcmory He learned his lessons well He was in the innermost back rooms of politics early and soon wds a prominent member of the lay section of the party It also developed however that he was a very good lawyer Early in his career he started appearing before a lot of government boards and and commissions such as the liquor boards the Transport board the Municipal Board the CHTC and various local governments of money But though his extensive appearance before government agencies may have looked bad In view of his associations It never could be argued that he win hla cases on merit For he was an excellent pleader LOGICAL CHOICE On merit he would have been a logical man for both Greyhound and to retain He had the ability and he had the ex In the fields of law concerned But Inevitably there will always be suspicion Influence peddling And this Is something we undoubtedly will be hearing more about
