Discusses Problems Of And Finance Mayor Herbert at tended the annual confer ence of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities in Hamilton last week In an inter view yesterday with an Era and Express reporter he recalled the highlights of the convention It was an interesting and suc cessful affair the mayor report ed with the usual pattern being followed of business sessions in the morning and early afternoon and social events and entertain ment later Many excellent addresses were presented The subjects ranged from Apathy in Municipal Af fairs to Protection Against Ra dio Active Fallout These were followed when the schedule permitted by question periods and further discussions by panels of experts on various subjects The conference attempted to find some solution to the hard fact that municipal revenues are limited to a tax on real estate and so are not capable of great expansion as are the revenues of the provincial and federal gov ernments Many resolutions were forwarded to these senior of jjovernment from the confer ence Among them were resolutions which concerned such topics as Crown proper ties should be liable to municipal taxation fe deral assistance should be avail able for necessary municipal fin ancing municipal purchases should be free from sates tax old age pensions should be increased school and hospital costs should be standardized and further as sisted and a national health plan should be established A report was presented on the financing of education in Alber ta When the school boards bud get is approved the municipality directs mills to school costs and Hie provincial grants everything beyond that Some thing of this kind appears desir able in other provinces so that every child in Canada can have equal educational opportunities the mayor suggested On the social side of the con ference the entertainment of the delegates was the most lavish ever seen at affairs of this kind An elaborate luncheon or a fine buffet dinner was provided every day by local industries or host municipalities The most striking of these en tertainments was on Monday continued Mayor when a special train carried all the de legates and

buildings A notice of motion was introduced recommending the hiring of a building inspec tor on a temporary The only member of council opposed lo the move was Coun cillor It Idler He recommended the employment of a full- lime engineer and said that Mr appointment should be a temporary one worth town engineer has gone with the Toronto and York Commission Mr said that if the hit inst the former engineer some years ego were justified that with the growth of the town since then there is a definite need fr a permanent engineer now said lie didnt consider it necessary for the town to have a engineer for the time being He ihought Mr could handle the routine business of the water roads bridges de partment and that for major en gineering projects it would be more to employ con suiting engineers Mr sold that this was not criticism of Mr lifts worths work He explained that it was necessary for the council to give permanent authorization to a town employee so that the Department of Highways subsi dies bo received He added that in the past Mr Evans had been doing much of this work and was familiar with it so that he the logical appointee If we go ahead with projects as bringing water from outside sources or the building of the sewage disposal plant under the Water Resources Commission the engineering will be handled by their men Mr explained Un til wo get more water dont feel that we need a fulltime en gineer he added Councillor Alex said that the town needed a qualified building Inspector The low building standards found in ihe houses ot the lUtsselCathcart subdivision would never have been permitted if the town had had such a man he said Mr that Mr Evans was an honest dependable nun who for all the years he had been employed by the town had worked harder than needed He agreed with Mr that with a building inspector the hiring of consultant engin eers for engineering projects ami the remainder of the for mer engineers duties carried by Mr Km Ihe town would re ceive more efficient service at less cost Even If Mr Evans is as good as you think he Is replied Mr lUtilor who explained that he did not know him Is not follow ing the soundest practices to dis pense with the services of a town engineer I dont feet we can carry on successfully with consulting engineers There will bo ninny times when find that It is absolutely necess ary to have an engineer on the Job CHUUCH SOLOIST Miss Anne Stephenson daugh ter of Mr and Mrs Richmond Hill will be soloist at Road Baptist church winter Cigarette Plant Will Not Locate In Newmarket The British cigarette manufac turing company Ltd is not establishing a plant in Newmarket Council was divid ed in its opinion as to whether the postponement was a tempor ary one or not following the reading of a series of letters on Tuesday night in which the town was informed that Ltd has deferred the develop ment of a plant Canada be cause it is considering a market The letters were from A Pollock Canadian representative for the firm and Harold Len- developer who has been attempting to the new plant built in Newmarket Copies of an exchange of corres pondence between Mr Pollock and Mr were read also Council accepted Councillor George liasketts suggestion that a letter be written to the parent company recommending that when the Canadian plant is be ing established Newmarket be considered for its location Coun cillor Alex opposed the idea Site Not Suitable In one letter Mr Pollock said that proposed site on the eas tern outskirts of Newmarket property owned by Andrew Wat son was not suitable and that ho had not been satisfied with other locations suggested in the area In another letter from Mr it was stated that the firm had not decided against Newmar ket tor the site of its Canadian plant I dont think that this means more than they dont expel to establish or anywhere in Canada this lime suggested Councillor Gladstone As they have indicated they are con sidering a bigger market prob ably the United Stales and until that is done they are not think ing of Canada think Mr Pol lock has had to find a reason fin not proceeding with the tract of land on which the option had been taken He has given as his reason that the land is not suit able As far a can determine from this correspondence said Councillor John Choppin the matter is suspended It is only the personal opinion of Mr that Ltd tins not definitely decided against Newmarket Against Factory umbrella policy doesnt agree with my temperament commented Councillor Alex ugin dont agree Willi a factory at any price After more than a year of negotiations we should know what the factory will or will not do We should be glad that this factory did not come Newmarket and hope I hat it doesnt Pollock is not the type of man who would treat Ins em ployees the way would like to see them treated he continued To heck with Pall Mall smoke Exports Mr added 1 dislike the inference that am in favor of any industry or this industry any price re plied Mr Idler This one should have been an asset to the town in view of type of em- ploment it would have provided and the management labor rela tionships which would have ex isted When it doesnt cost anything lo hold open the transactions we should write the totter as Mr suggested commented mayor There is the matter of dignity and pride answered Mr gin Time Wasted It Is almost two years since we started negotiating with this Hands I dont see anything wrong with writing the letter but feel we shouldnt take up any more time discussing it here Nothing will be gained We should spend our time in work ing on some other industry he suggested AH members of council in at tendance approved the writing of the letter to the British firm with the exception of Mr who emphatically registered a nega tive vote Here and There Around Town For the first time in many months council meeting was ad journed before midnight Less than three h were spent dealing with the towns business with the assurance thai the next meeting would be on Mon day Sept But approximately minutes of that time was spent discussing a one dollar expenditure referred the decision to the deputy fire chief and the clerk An advertisement announcing a brochure available to the coun cil at two cents a copy was read at the council meeting The bro chure covers common fire haz ards around the home It wo suggested that copies be pur chased as a sample and given to the fire department for distribu tion It should be referred to tint chairman of the fire committee Mrs- Violet sug gested one councillor What does she know about fires replied another Refer rt to fire chief lies going on was the answer Finally after even more dis cussion the decision as to whe ther brochures should he pur chased so that the fire depart ment could run a sample test wan to the discretion of the dep uty fire chief and the town clerk t During the above discussion one councillor with a shrug of his shoulder dismissed the matter Willi the comment A dollar is only a drop in the ocean Although he was dealing with onemillionth the amount ban died about by Hon I Howe in his Offquoted remark Whats million that attitude of casual in the spending of taxpay ers money is not an admirable one firm said Councillor Alex J student at There is a strong that the recreational facilities town will be expanded to co ver many more types of recrea tion and interest a wider group of people At present the Rec reation commission is concentrat ing on activities for the young and athletic members of the
