Government Urged Jn View of Need ounty 15 Requested Issue Debentures • Clinton Town Council, .at its meeting Monday night, decided to request the County of Huron to issue debentures to finance the Proposed $285,000 addition to Clinton District Collegiate In- stitute. R, L. 1VIcEwere town represent- ative on the CDCI Board, stated that the Board would like to pro- ceed with this work as soon as Possible, and also would like authority from the 1952 Council to go ahead. Dr. W. A, Oakes, chairman .of the Board, said that the Count!. must issue the debentures beallee of the financial condition of the Town of Clinton, H. C. Lawson, secretary -treas- urer, CDCI Board, wrote stating that by an amendment made in 1951 to the High, Schools Act, the County may be asked to issue its debentures to raise funds 'for the erection or enlargement a a high school in a High School Area. The funds required to be raised to retire these debentures will be levied in the area which benefits by the debenture issue. "The Board of CDCI is anxious to proceed with its proposed ad- dition to the Clinton sehool, and it seems to the School Board that the. most logical approach toward raising the necessary funds is to ask the County to issue the debentures for that The Board suggested the fol -1 purpose.? lowing resolution, which subse- quently was adopted by Council: "Now therefore be it resolved by the Municipal Council of the Town of Clinton that the Coun- cil of the County of Huron be requested to raise the said sum of "285,000 by the' issue and sale of its debentures or the purposes of erecting au addition to Clin- ton Distriet Collate Institute and furnishing sane."

Council approved this b motion. Taxi Licence Granted Chief of Police Joseph Ferrand rerommended granting a second taxicab license to Clarke Stan-, ley, whose application was before Council. Application was granted. Fine Police Report Chief, Ferrante presented his police report for the past year. Due to increasing population of the town and growing personnel at RCAF Station and civilian workers, police duties were in- creasing. He said it would not be long before consideration would have to be given to in- creasing the Police Force from two to three full-time officers. Mayor Nott complimented the Chief on his report.

Lint'assistance might be Oven "It is respectfully suggested through Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or in such other way as the Minister may deem advisable, and it is believ- ed by the Council that an ad - d' 1 150 housing't • are urgently needed." Supported by C. of C. Adoption of the above resolu- tion in favour of ,e50 new hous- ing units, followed receipt of a strong resolution from Clinton and District Chamber of Com- merce recommending that 100 units be proceeded with at the earliest possible date. a The letter pointed out that lack of housing facilities in Clinton necessitates 84 RCAF families not to live in the Clinton area at all and approximately 125 families to live outside the town, making a total of well over 200 families. President R. S. Atkey and Vice-president If. E. Hartley of the Chamber of Commerce, were present as a deputation in sup- port of the recommendation. They presented a carefully -prepared brief, based on authoritative in- formation from RCAF Station, to support the Town Council's ape. plication to Ottawa for 150 ad- ditional housing units. The deputation reported that Group Captain E, A. D. Hutton, CD, Commanding Officer, RCAF Station, Clinton, ehad requested an audience with the Chamber of Commerce regarding matters of mutual interest and benefit to the Station and the community of Clinton. As a result, G/C Hutton ,,and S/11.• T. R. N. Duff, Chief Admin- istrative Officer, had been invit- ed and had attended an execu- tive meeting of the Chamber last week, when a full and complete discussion had taken place. From the discussion had emerg- ed the following facts: The present strength of the RCAF Station, in round figures, is as follows: (1) Service personnel ...1,500 (2) Civilians in RCAF employ 200 (3) Civilians on DCL con- tracts 150 (4) Service dependents living an Station 650 Total . 2,500 The Station will increase to 1,800 Service personnel by mid - 1952. It probably will levet. off around 2,000 by the end of 1952 and remain constant. Civilians in RCAF employ will increase proportionately. Civilians on DCL contracts are estimated to increase by 200 in 1952 as new contracts get under way, grad- ually decreasing in 1953 and 1954. Dependents of Service person- nel, living on the Station, are expected to increase to about 800 during the same period. 1 With the present S t a t i o n strength, we have a financial pie- tuxe somewhat as follows: Total Service RCAF payroll 5190,000 Y Civilians in RCAF employ 30,000 monthly Civilians on D C L if contracts 30,000 monthly .0.•••••••••••••••••••••••11, Total . $250,000 monthly "Our analysis shows that one- third of Service pay and allow- ance, bbth married and single, is spent in the area having a radius of 25 miles around the Station. We estimate that two-thirds of the payroll of RCAF civilians and two-fifths of the payroll of DCL is spent in the same area. Thus, we could estimate the monthly expenditures in the area alined !Ur monthly Service personnel $63,000 RCAF civilians 20,000 DCL civilians 12,000 Total . $95,000 "Added to the foregoing are the expenditures for official and Station Fund purposes which at present total: monthly Clinton area $ 3,500 Outside , 47,000 Total . $50,500 "That means that about $100,- 000 monthly is spent in the Clin- ton area on account of, this Sta- tion. The above amount does not include the expenditures by con- tractors engaged on the consider- able DCL projects on the Station, "It is reasonable to suppose .that this figure ($100,000) could be increased to $150,000 monthly, or even more, with the growth of the Station population in pros- pect, and with improvement in community facilities such as housing, retail and wholesale goods outlets, recreational facil- ities, and the like." "The question is often asked as to what degree it is intended that the Station be self-suffic- ient, With regard to housing accommodation,it is laid down that the married occupancy be 25 to 40 per cent of married staff strength. "Presently, there are 145 houses on the Station. Therefore, a max- imum of 200 to 250 houses could be expected. (This would repre- sent construction of 50 to 100 additional houses during the next five years.) "There is opportunity for ex- panding housing in Clinton — apartment houses as well as houses; improved store facilities —especially to permit more pur- chases in area as opposed to out- side; better recreational facilities —ice rink especially. "There can be no doubt about the Government intention for RCAF Station to be permanent- ly located in this area. We are part of the community, and it seems entirely desirable and es- sential that we consider how best the RCAF Station can fit into the community.
