DPS panel finds little to support charges
A panel finished its inquiry into allegations against the Department of Public Safety in Ottawa. It interviewed 25 DPS personnel and reviewed 38 questionnaires, finding little evidence of record-changing and only some proof of favoritism. The panel notes misclassifications in crime reports and stresses no substantiating incidents warranting further investigation. It recommends a joint meeting of agencies handling report procedures to establish common ground.

Ottawa Board of Education approved a 1 percent budget authority increase by a 5 2 vote at a special meeting. The move adds 56 794 in new funds next school year but raises property taxes by 1 64 mills. With 3 and 4 percent increases, new funds reach about 198 000 and 254 000 respectively, lifting the general fund to 5.73 million. Bud Gollier urged the measure, citing strain and past cuts, and warned negotiators regarding the option during talks.
