Dear Sir: According to the newspaper of June 29, 1967, the report from Council, headlined "Gives Many Suggestions", only statements made by me were printed and not any of the answers I received from Council. I feel that some of these answers would be of interest to your readers, as I was not appearing only on my behalf but also. for many others. I asked about sidewalks on | 7A Highway (Scugog Road). Are we going to wait until a child is killed before doing something about this? Three children have been injured so far. I received the retort that this did not come under jurisdiction of our Council but under the Department of Highways. Dées Council not act, on behalf of the citizens? Also it was said by a Council member, since we parents are so worried we better get a school bus to send the children from the South end of Town to the Public School. Are we worrying needlessly? When asking about side- walks between 7A Highway and Poplar Park, a very busy | road for pedestrians and cars, no definite answer or suggested answer was given except, "we can't seem to please everybody. Some places we put sidewalks the people complain". I really don't think anyone will com- plain if one is put here, will they? The third place I suggest- ed a sidewalk was on Union Avenue hetween Oshawa Road (Ontdrio Street) and Scugog Road, not Lilla Street and Ontario Street as stated, | for there is already one there. At one time there was a sidewalk at said area having been removed when the road was widened, and never replaced. This side- work) would be a great asset. walk is mainly used by adults and our Senior Citizens.who have to walk to town. Coun- cil again stated this came under the jurisdiction of Oshawa Suburban Road Com- mission. Here again, doesn't Council act on our behalf? Finally the last item re: Hospital Board -- my main question was -- "HOW DOES ONE GET APPOINTED TO , THESE POSITIONS -- NOT JUST HOSPITAL BOARD BUT -- OTHER MUNICIPAL BOARDS?" I have been asking this question for years and yet have not received a concrete answer. Granted. my inter- * est was Hospital Board since my husband, Joe, did write to Coungil in 1962 stating his interest in this line and since he feels his experience (in hospital and institutional The following is an excerpt from the reply he received at that time: "that Council appreciate your interest in Munici- pal affairs and your willingness to serve, par-» ticularly on the Hospital Board. "At the present time there is not an opening to our knowledge "but possibly at some later date your services could * be made use of." What conclusion does one draw from this? Granted we do not feel that Council is obliged to select anyone who makes a request and they do have the right-to use their ¥ own judgement, but a noti- fication of upcoming posi- tions -to interested persons would be appreciated. Finally the attendance of my husband later was not just with regard to the Hos-* pital Board but in his own defence due to an untrue ac- cusation made that had no bearing on subjects at hand=# Thanking you for giving me an opportunity to express myself. od I remain, Yours truly, Ruth-Marie Franssen (Mrs. Joe Franssen) J.
