SOUTF1; WINDSOR WEST, 500 FRONT RD, LASALLE; WINDSOR EAST, TECUMSEH BYPASS PAON NEWS-RECORD,"IfitIRSDAY, NOVElsitig3 1974 The Minister of Transpor- tation and Communications, 'Mr, John Rhodes, informed the House this week of changes in the Krauss-Maffei Go-Urban demonstration programme at the ONE. Mr, Rhodes said that Krauss-Maffei which has been funded in part for this project by the West German Govern- ment had concluded that they could not financially continue with the programme, because of a recent decision by the West German Government to with- draw from certain long-range technological programmes. Mr. Rhodes had been approached to see if arrangements would be made to modify contract. Under a new agreement On- tario is allowed to use over $30 Million worth of research and -development data of the West German Government and Krauss-Maffei, and the Minister told the Legislature that the Ontario Transpor- tation Development Cor- poration will receive and assimilate the data as quickly as possible and begin using the Munich test track and vehicles as quickly as possible. The contract with Krauss- Maffei has been terminated and Ontario will be refunded all the money it has spent so far on the demonstration project at the CNE, and an in- terim payment of $8.5 million was made to cover most of the costs. Ontario will have the use of the Krauss-Maffei test track and test equipment in Munich -Free of charge. Since Krauss- Maffei will no longer be con- structing the CNE test track and since the Ontario Govern- ment is able to use the Krause- Maffei facilities in Munich, Mr. Rhodes said that further in- vestment in a demonstration track can now be postponed. Mr. Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition, who has vigorously criticized this system, called on the Govern- ment to abandon the whole project and save the taxpayers an astronomical amount of money. The Premier, 'Mr. William Davis, said tha' the Govein- ment was not apologizing for proceeding with research and development 'in the field of in- termediate capacity transpor- tation. He said it may be that there are not many other jurisdictions doing it but the Province of Ontario initiated it to a great extent and will con- tinue.. He said the Government was very anxious to resolve ur- ban transportation problems, facing society, on a long term basis, and it was only fair to state that these problems will not be solved by just bus tran- sportation, or totally by street- car or rail transportation but that it will take a combination of many things. The Ontario Housing Cor- poration came under fire this week when Mrs. Margaret , Campbell, Liberal Member of St, George, called upon the Provincial Government to initiate a full public inquiry into the activities of OHC. She said Ontario Housing Cor- poration should be investigated fully, and the activities of of- ficials at every level, including the Board of Directors should be scrutinized very carefully. A full official inquiry is im- perative, and all records, in- cluding the Corporation's books and the minutes of the Board of Directors' meetings should be available for scrutiny. She said that in the past, when it was requested that these documents be made available to Members of the Legislature, it had been refused. During the debates of the estimates of the Ministry of Housing, Mr. Robert Nixon, said he was concerned over the business acument displayed by Ontario Housing Corporation. ladooendoot Shipper to United Co-000rotivo of Ontario Livestock Bet Toronto Ship Yoto LiveStook_ with Roy Scotchmor Monday II Shipping Day From Varna Stockyard GALL SaYFikLb 566.2636 Eby /40 rot, Monday For prompt Servite tkE0 dhargat on Fick-up Mr, Nixon was particularly referring to seven Government purchases which provided speculative profits to three companies in excess of one million dollars. Mr. Nixon said that Ontario Housing has assembled 2,30 acres of land in the southeast portion of the present town of Milton formerly known as north Oakville, The assembled land will be used indefinitely for agricultural purposes but will eventually be available for housing development, The three companies purchased each of the seven properties less than seven months before selling to the Government and one property was owned by one of the companies, for only 32 days. The Government paid $579,095 for that parcel on March 12, 1974, about $200,000 or 54% more than this com- pany had bought it for on February 8, Mr. Nixon said that six of the seven purchases were com- pleted in March, 1974, when real estate prices around Toronto, were at their peak, and less than one month before the Treasurer's land speculation tax was introduced, in an attemk to deflate these prices. Accordiug to Mr. Nixon, the government purchases at grossly inflated prices, simply reinforced and accelerated the dangerous increase in land costs in southern. Ontario at a time when all government initiative should have been in exactly the opposite direction. Housing Minister, Donald Ir- vine said that Ontario Housing Corporation is conducting ex- periments into the feasibility of using solar energy to heat homes. If the economics are reasonable, consideration would be given to the in- stallation of a system in one or two existing housing projects‘ owned by OHC on an ex- perimental basis. The solar energy would only be used to supplement conventional systems rather than replace them, In view of recent newspaper reports, Mr. W.121,, McDeough, Minibter of ';',LEtriy; tnad'e a brief statement 'in the Legislature, on Ontario Hydra's ability to meet the Winter electrical power demands in the Province. He said this ability depended on several factors. Because of the loss of an additional one or more of Ontario Hydro's largest generators, and a prolonged cold snap, the system could be taxed very severely. However, Hydro is hopeful that at least one, and possibly two of the five 500,000 kilowatt generators now shut down may be returned to service by the middle of December. Hydra's overall capacity, including the five generators 'not presently in service, is 18.5 million kilowatts, anticipated peak demand, is forecast as 14.5 million kilowatts. The com- bined capacity of the five units not in service ,is 2.5 million kilowatts, As regards the coal situation, Mr. McKeough said that On- tario Hydro normally stockpiles its winter needs before the ship- ping season closes in late November and did so this year. 3.5 •to 5 million tons of U.S. coal is required to operate its generating facilities this winter. By the end of the shipping season, December 1st, Ontario Hydro will have 'on hand 7.5 Million tons of coal. This will carry it through any contingen- des such as a strike in the coal supply system. Margaret Campbell, Liberal M.P.P, for St. George, called upon the Provincial Govern- ment to initiate a full public inquiry into the activities of of- ficials at every level, including the Board of Directors, must be Serutinized very carefully," said Mrs. Campbell, "A full official inquiry is im. peratiVe, and all records, in- cluding the Corporation's books and the Minutes of the Board of Director's meetings must be available for scrutiny, la the past, when we have requested that these documents be Made available to Members of the Legislature, we have been refused. If necessary, the power to subpoena should be exercised by those conducting the inquiry," she insisted. "Information has reached my office which indicates very clearly that the affairs of the Corporation have, to ti very great extent, been conducted against a background of socializing, and the donation of gifts by developers and others interested in transacting business with the Cor- poration," she went on. "At the present time, there are cases involving the Ontario Housing Corporation before the Courts, but in my opinion these only relate to a eomparatively small proportion of the widespread practice of 'in- fluence pedalling' which has been prevalent for some years. Senior officials have beep in- volved in these activities, and have therefore not been in a position to give any moral leadership," Mrs. Campbell ad- ded. "A public inquiry is long over-due and should be initiated without' delay," she concluded. ny,..pek nureto MN'
