The Emergency Measures Or- ganization came under fire a- gain at the meeting of Ontario | County Council last week, and was referred to as a "money- down-the-drain organization". Deputy Reeve John Dryden introduced a motion to the floor | reading that the standing com- mittee on Emergency Measures is instructed to make a study | into the bylaw covering the operations of the EMO "with a' view to making constructive re-' commendations for better use in the expenditure of all' public money required under the auth- ority of the bylaw". spent and it could be used. for more useful purposes such' as education, tourist promotion, and attracting industry to our area." Chesley Oldham, reeve of "Scott Township added: "The budget. for the EMO is $27,000 per year of which $17,000 is used to pay three men's wages. "What I can't figure out is , Why does it take three men to ' spend $10,000." Mr. Dryden stated he felt that "Council was sticking their heads in a hole like an ostrich" and that serious thought should be given to the situation. Mr. Dryden said: "I feel the money for the EMO is unwisely ' He added public opinion of the EMO was at an all-time low IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SELL YOUR BEST BET IS THE CLASSIFIED PAGE OF THE PORT PERRY STAR IED ED GED ED ED ED GD a | and that the EMO "is carried on and promoted by people who are promoting something for their own good". "I would like to know what has been accomplished in the EMO"s seven years of operation, "I would say 'nothing' and|. why the money can't be put to a useful, 'organized' organiza« tion such as the fire or police department to do the same job, I do not know." Everett Quantrill, Reeve of Whitby, stated "We talk about how much money has been spent on the EMO. I would hate to guess how much has been spent by having us sitting around de- bating the matter for the last six years. "I want an answer and I want | the matter settled once and for all." The reeve moved that the EMO committee be given the opportunity to study the situa- tion thoroughly and be ready to report their findings at the September session of Council. The majority of Council a- greed with Mr. Quantrill and the commitee was instructed to carry out the wishes of council | to decide the fate of the EMO. PORT PERRY STAR, THURS, FEB. 27th, 1964--13 M.
