A letter presented to coun- cil on Monday on behaîf of Mr. Arnot Wotten, called for the source of confidential in- formation which was denied a group askîng information over the resignations of M essrs. Dunhamr and Ashton, but which appeared in a letter to the editor in the Oshawa Tirnes written by Mr. McMillan. The information referred to the overpricing of tires in the amount of $7,000 paid by the Town of Newcas- tle. The letter created com- siderable discussion at coun- cil resulting in a motion .to receive the letter, acknowledge the delegation and to suggest that Mr. Wot- ten contact the writer of the letter as to the source of his information. 1The motion was defeated. Counc. Prout asked that Mr. McMilan be asked to attend council but gained no sup- port for his suggestion. Counc. Hiamre said there was a much greater concern. She pointed out that counicil with legal advise had reached a decision which was mutual- ly agreed to by all parties. -We spent many hours over Parish activities St. Francis of Assîsî, Tues. Feb. 9th. the Youth Group of the Parish held a Fun night. Everyone enjoyed themselves. A winter picnic was helcl on 1ýeb. l4th. at Brownsdale Community Cen- tre and Golf Course. There was sking and toboganning this issue", she said. The tax- payers are fedup and wanting to know when we are going to get on with the business of this counicil. She said council should be standing up to their decision. Mayor Rickard said coun- cil had two courses to follow: do nothing or ask each coun- cillor to sign an affidavit that they gave out no informa- tion. Counc. Cowman said she objected to allegations and was not about to be in- timadated by the Mayor. Don Smith, administrator, pointed out that the quote bc- ing referred to may or may not be quoted from a con- fidential auditor's report. He said counicil may be consider- ing an erroneous assuription. Counc. Hubbard said there was need to make identifica- tion and said she thought the quotes were in a public agen- da. Council did finally support a motion by Councs. Hamre and Woodyard that the delegation be acknowledged, the letter received and that staff be authorized to research the request and report to counicil. for the young at heart.

Although achiev- ing an al-time high, the local Campaign did not reach its $100,000 target (a 13 percent increase over total funds rais- ed during, the 1980/81 Cam- paign.) However, Campaign Chairman Walter Beath is pleased with the result. "We feel this has been a highly successful Campaign," hie says, "taking into accounit local layoffs and business closures." The Association is now looking at ways to maintain its full program, schedule, despite the 3.5 percent Cain- paign. shortfall. It is hoped to avoid service cuis by re- questing small donations or registration-fees during year- round programn activities.

It has been procedure for counicil to pass the conform- ing by-law ,ai the end of al council meetings with the understanding that the by- Iaw brings into force A ac- tions of council legalîy. Mayor Rickard following the defieat of the by-law said he would have to consult with the Town's legal department as he did not now know what would happen. He said it was the first time such had hap- pened to him. The first readîng of the confirming by-law un- contested as is a matter of procedure. Counc. Hamire then contested the second reading of the by-law and a recorded vote was called. Councs. Cowman, Hamnre, Hubbard and Taylor voted against the second reading of the by-law thus defeating any second reading of the by-law, There was no discussion of the second readîng around the council table. Following the meeting Counc. Harnre said she bas been unable to get a clear concise reason for the confir- ming by-law or the legality of the by-law. She further said that the events of Monday's council meeting did not pro- mote proper procedure and allow the democratic process to function. She said she was not being allowed to do her job as a representatîve of the people and so could not sup- port the by-law.

The projections, which are sent to the province's school boards, show that the secon- dary school enrolment will drop fromt the 530,000 pro- jected for this year to a low of 450,000 in 1990.
