I_ -9-FEBRUARY ~' 1962 Letter from the Town Solicitor, • _ T. McPherson enclosing a letter addressed to him from Donald M, Findlay Q.C. as follows: This letter is for the purpose of reporting to you and, as may be necessary, through you to the Council of the Town of Aurora upon the result of the motion at Osgoode Hall on Wednesday of this week, This was a motion launched by Mr. James Murray seeking an order of the Supreme Court to quash the resolution of the Council of Aurora made on January 8th, 1962 which requested acounty judge's enquiry into a matter occuring during the last election for council. Provision is made in Section 241 of the Municipal Act to enable Municipal Councils to request enquireies to be made by county judges and this occurs from time to time. Precedents in the courts in previous years have established that such an enquiry can be made into election events. The resolution in the present case requested an enquiry into a sin~lP. incident during the polling at the last election. Mr. Murray's application was made on the claim that such an enquiry cannot be convened respecting a single incident. On Wednesday, the Supreme CoUrt judge agreed with this contention and quashed the resolution of council, but without awarding costs to the successful applicant. This is an entions of the existing law on the subject which, I am convinced, would not be confirmed by a higher court if it were felt practicable to take an appeal. This is not to say that I am recommending that appeal be taken. It is for the council to consider the matter from a practical point of view but two observations may be of as*istance on that aspect of the matter. As I understand the origin of this matter a few weeks ago, council felt there was a body of opinion compelling it to take steps to clarify the matter if any steps were available, 4TH BEGUT.AR AURORA ENQUIRY ,;'·':'·'<\ '•-<.._,.:.-' r~-, "'""'.;.. ('~·-·.-,, I . I <-J !9 -10-February ~ 1962 There wer other steps which were open to individuals but the only step available. to the Council was the one of making a request under Sect 241 for a judge's enquiry. The council has attempted this step but · this has now been ~ ruled out by the Supreme Court Judge and council may feel that it has fulfilled its responsibilities as a council And council may also feel ·: that the inadvertent and inmotion may have provided sufficient clarification of the incident concerned for all practical purposes, Press reports of the hearing on Wed. :nesday made some mention as to whether Mr. Murray did or did not vote in favour of the council resolution on January 8th. This question was only relevant to the point as to whether 1~. Murray was disentitled to be the applicant on the application to the Surpeme Court on the grounds of inconsistency, That was not the most important consideration on that hearing because a ruling on that point would only have been a question of procedure and not a ruling on the basic question in issue, The question of legal and other enquiry costs has been the subject of local speculation, I might be able to assist in putting this into perspective. The · Judge's enq~·iry would likely have been finiShe.d.'. well within the first day of sitting. The witnesses had been subpor:med and tne legal preparations had been . completed and everything was in re_adiness to proceed on the appointed day o:(\.:. January 30th, It was at this sta·~;,;q on the eve of the sitting that Mr. ~;•s. motion to quash was served, upon tho· · strengh of which his lawyer obtained ari adjournment at the opening of the enquiry on that date, In the result a substantial part of the anticipated costs of the enquiry have been incurred as well as the Town 1 s own costs of the proceedings at Osgoode Hall. (Mr. Murray·• s poriion of the costs at Osgoode Hall are his own . responsiblity as indicated above,) 4th REGULAR AURORA ENQUIREY --"""' "" c .. -11-February 19, 1962 In courtesty to His Honour Judge Moore, I would apprise him of the course this matter has taken and of councills response to the development in the matter. Please let me know if any further information or attendnance is desired. CHILD: CORBETT: "Resolve that this letter be filed," ¢ouncillor Murray stated that one of the statements made by the Judge was that the Town may now settle down to important business. Mayor Nisbet stated he felt Council had to do something or else they would have been criticized, Councillor Child stated he did not thing everyone is satisfied and he was not satisfied and while the learned Judge may know important business he was not ina a postion to say what is important in the Town'of Aurora, Reeve Davis stated this matter was duly resolved by the 1961 and 1962 Councils and thats it. · ·· · Deputy Reeve Stoddart felt the facts have now been brought out and the public will read this expl~nation and he was loath to carry it to a higher court, The motion was then carried, Councillor Murray sted he was not quite clear in this matter and if this was the end of it, Councillor Child stated these are the only steps we can take, DAVIDSON: MURRAY: "Resolved that Council do not appeal the ruling of the Supreme Court," Carried, --·--------·----. ----·· r l"'"' " I 4TH REGULAR DELEGATIONS REPORTS.OF COMMITTEES TOWN ENGINEER AND WORKS DEPARTMENT 4 -1:!-February 19, 1962 Mrs. E. Buck appeared before Council concern- ing the matter of a local bus service and a bus shelter at. the entrance to Murray Drive. Mayor Nisbet advised Mrs. Buck that the matter of a local bus service had been referred to the Services Committee for study and further that Council would petitiOn the Grey Coach Lines for the erection of a bus shelter. Mrs. Buck stated she understood the enquiry haring was quashed because Council did not ask for the proper resolution and it should be maaeclear to the public that their consel was not misleading. Mayor Nisbet said Council took the stand they did and the type of enquiry requested was to bring out all the facts. CORBETT: '!Resolved that the Town Engineer DAVIDSON: be placed in charge of the Town Works Department, under the Works Committee and that "his office be located at the Works Building and further that this arrangement be reviewed subsequent to a six months period. Councillor Murray spoke to this motion and referred to it as double barrelled in that he felt it was proper the engineer be moved to the Works Building to be closer to the work he is engaged in but that he was not in approval of placing him in charge of all the Works Department. Reeve Davis stated one reason he is supporting the motion was because at various times there is no one at the Works Department and therefore the public are unable to get in touch with anyone and this new arrangement would relieve council and ot}).er deparmo·nts of nume-rous calls., /'~' 4th REGULAR REPORTS OF COMMITTEES TOWN ENGINEER AND WORKS DEPARTMENT SKATING RING LIGHTS RENTAL POLICE CRUISER -13-February 19, 1962 Mayor Nisbet stated there would be some problems involved but felt it could be worked out, Councillor Jones requested the Town Engineer to speak to this, The Town Engineer stated he should have been allowed to attend the committee meeting where this matter was discussed.
