Auditor's report hard on
Violence Commission
By Murray Gaunt
The report of Ontario's
Provincial Auditor, tabled this
week in the Legislature, is a tale
of high spending royal commis-
sions, disappearing face cloths,
stolen souvenirs, and a white
elephant hospital.
The report was especially hard
on the spending of the Royal
Commission on Violence in the
Communications Industry, which
cost $2.2 million during its two
years of research. The
Commission spent $102,885 on L
travel between. May 1975. and
June 1977, when it presented its
report.
Judy LaMarsh, the chairman of
the Commission, was paid
$93,000 in total, or $250 per day.
The Government purchased the
former Kirkland Lake Hospital,
since it was replaced by a new
building. The old hospital cost the
Ministry of Government Services
$960,000.to buy early in 1974, and
it has been trying to find a use for
it ever since. .
The use of radar warning
devices his been prohibited in
Ontario. People convicted under
the changes to the Highway
Traffic Act may be fined between
$50 and $500.
The Liquor Control Board of
Ontario has approved shorter
opening hours for some of its
stores,meaning the loss of about
200 temporary and part time jobs
and a saving of $500,000.
Larry Grossman, . Minister of
Consumer and Commercial
Relations, confirmed in the
Legislature that the a new hours
would start in January.
A total of 9,7 stores, most of
them in ',small Ontario
communities, will be 6pep only
five days a week.
