Progressive Conservative candidate Bill Corcoran not only lost the election in York Centre last June. he picked up a cam- paign deficit of almost $6,000. The Olsen campaign received $6,707 in local contributions and $8,000 from the provincial NDP. The PCs spent $39,000 in York Centre in a losing cause. Liberal Alf Stong was re-elected with expenses of more than $15.000. Stong received more than $13,000 during the campaign including $7,963 in contributions. With the subsidy from the province of $8,730, he wound up with a surplus of $6,659 to return to the party war chest for the next contest. Corcoran‘s newspaper ad- vertising alone amounted to $4,238 compared with Alf Stong’s $281. The chief financial officer for Corcoran's campaign was John Goodbody of Thornhill. In his report filed last month to the Commission on Election Con- tributions and Expenses, Goodbody noted that “because of the vagueness of the resolution passed by the (PC) association executive and impending civil action by one of the campaign debtors, the candidate undertook to satisfy all outstanding debts." The dispute with the one creditor was settled, he said. Corcoran paid his campaign manager when he could not get a leave of absence, with pay, from his employer in Toronto. Chris Olsen's campaign for the NDP also finished in the black, with receipts of $14,707 and ex- penses of $10‘611. before the provincial subsidy was calculated. “Their candidate m'ust have been a heck of a nice guy." Corcoran observed this week.

Altogether 87 "alert" (on the road breathalizer) tests were administered, he reported, and only two drivers refused to take them.
