Section Two Tie Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, une 23 1976 5 PlannerRecommendsNewcastledBoard of Education Council A report calling for New- stle Council to reject a ertain section of the Regional Municipalities Amendment Act (Bill 55) was accepted by the Planning Advisory Com- mittee in a meeting on June 14th. Town Planner George How- den urged the Town of Newcastle to show opposition to Section 116 of Bill 55 as an infringement of municipal rights. Mr. Howden's report calls the amendment bill "an un- necessary over-centralization Oppose of powers and responsibilities which can only increase delays in the planning process and increase the cost of housing." Mr. Howden told the com- mittee that the original act which was responsible for the formation of the Region of Durham included a section giving the region control over 150 ft. on either side of a regional road. The act gave the regional government power to protect rdads and stop any develop- ment which could cause traffic problems under its jurisdic- tion, the report states. The act then only gave the region control over rural sections and was never used by the newly formed govern- ment, the report adds. The planner has pointed out, however, that Bill 55 proposes to extend the regional govern- ment's power into urban areas including Oshawa and along Highway 2. The report is critical of the extended powers and indi- cates that they give the region Board of Education To Decide on Holiday ForOrono Fair Day Another holiday for elemen- students can have Sept. 26th students at Newcastle, the tary school students in New- off to attend the Orono Fair.

SehoolCustodians Want Retraction The president of the CUPE local 1206 of the Northumber- land Newcastle Board of Education has said that fi- gures quoted by one board official regarding the cost of the community use of schools ,re inaccurate. The 160-member local, which consists of school custo- dians, is asking for a retrac- tion on a statement made on June 10 by Harriet Reisler, vice-chairman of the board. In a school board discussion about how much it costs community groups to use school facilities, Mrs. Reisler told the board that classroom rental was two dollars per hour. She said that the cost of custodial care was, $11 per hour. Mrs. Reisler also suggested that people responsible for groups renting school space could make sure the school space had been cleaned up after it had been used. A similar idea was suggested in a report at the June 10 board meeting.However, Ron Wilde, president of the CUPE local representing the school custo- dians, said custodians are the only people with a contract to The Commission te Review Proposals for Property Tax Reform in Ontario will hold a public meeting for residents of DurhamRegion on: June 29 and 30, 1976 at 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Eastdale Collegiate Cafeteria Harmony Road Oshawa to receive submissions, both oral and written, from all interested parties, concerning the Ontario government's proposals for a new system of property taxation based on market value assessment. The Commission hopes that all residents with opinions and suggestions to offer will be present to make their representations to us. Willis L. Blair Chairman Ontario clean schools. He said that a policy of having volunteers clean up the schools after community events would be contrary to the contract. Mr. Wilde also said the local was "annoyed" with figures quoted by Mrs. Reisler about the cost per hour of custodial service. Mr. Wildex said that even if the top-ranked man on the caretaking were paid double time to clean the school, the cost would come to $10.50 per hour rather than the $11 quoted by the board vice-chairman. Mr. Wilde noted, however, that the custodian wouldn't be paid double time, but time and a half. Mr. Wilde, who is a caretak- ing foreman, went on to say that caretaking jobs for extra- curricular school use are done on a volunteer basis. Usually, one of his men would handle such a job. At a wage of time and a half, there would be a caretaking cost, in that case of $4.04 per hour. Mr. Wilde charged that Mrs. Reisler wasn't using the figures properly. Besides the $11 figure, Mr. Wilde question- ed the two dollar fee for using a school room. He said it was true that a school room could be rented for $2 per hour but a group renting a gymnasium for a dance could pay $20 per hour. . The local president said that because the wage rates given by Mrs. Reisler were too high and the room rental rates were the lowest ones possible, it would appear to the public that custodial staff wages were the costly factors in the community use of schools. According to Mr. Wilde, this was unfair. As well as calling for a retraction, representa- tives of local 1206 plan to be at the next board meeting in Cobourg to voice their opposi- tion to what Mrs. Reisler said. Port Hope Strike Ends Striking workers at a West- inghouse plant in Port Hope should be back on the job today following a vote to accept a new two year contract, Saturday. Out of the 100 members of local 14193 of the United Steel Workers of America, 66 were control over more than just roads. "The powers . . . go far beyond the protection of the functioning of any regional road and extend even as far as architectural control," it states. The proposed bill would also allow the region to require five per cent of a residential development within the 150 ft. limit to be given to the region for parkland, which might result in increased housing prices, the planner states. present for the weekend vote. Thirty six of the workers voted to accept a company offer and 30 voted to reject it. The decision brings to a close a strike that had been going on since March 4. It was the first in the history of the Port Hope plant. A company official said the majority of the Port Hope workers would be back to work by Tuesday. Under the workers new contract, there will be an increase in wages for the first year of the contract of between 10.37 and 11.26 per cent. In the second year, wages will increase by be- tween 9.22 per cent and 9.72. By November 25, 1976, the union workers will be making wages ranging from $4.92 an hour to $7.09 under the new contract.

This will cost about $500 per year, according to Councillor Kirk Entwisle. Councillor Entwisle, who made the motion to give the Chamber of Commerce the go ahead, said the new lighting equipment will be paid for out of funds supplied by the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he said that the Chamber of Commerce hopes to get a Wintario grant. The councillor said the Chamber of Commerce ex- pects to put up $6,000 from money it already has. A Wintario grant is expected to cover another $6,000 and the final one third of the lighting cost will be paid off next year. A second motion passed by the finance committee recom- mended that the 1977 council consider any Chamber of Commerce application for financial assistance should there be a short fall in the installation of the lighting.

Under the new agreements, wage increases average 10 per cent.

Under the old agreement, wages for outside workers averaged $5.44 per hour. Now they are up to $5.94 per hour. The workers met Thursday, June 10 to vote on their contract. Of the clerical work- ers, eight voted in favor of the town's offer and two were against. Twenty outside work- ers voted to accept the new contract and nine voted to reject.
