The $3,126,000 figure may seem alarming to taxpayers said Mr. Dutton but over a 20â€" year period it should cause no undue alarm, "not any more than our last 10â€"year program," he D‘Arcy Dutton, city engineer, announced that the city‘s street development plan will cost about $3,126,000 over the: next 20 years. * The idea of the new board is that each municipality would have the authority to plan withâ€" in its boundaries through the municipal planning board, and Ald. Donald Snider, Waterloo suggested to members that a new planning board be formed having jurisdiction over all of Waterloo Township outside the cities and towns. ELIMINATE BOARD Such a board would mean the end of the Kâ€"W and Suburban Planning Board, which has jurâ€" isdiction over part of the townâ€" ship, and this would also relieve Preston and Hespeler of the jurâ€" isdiction they have over parts of the township.

A figure of $200,000 has been tentatively set to cover the cost of this work. The number one project on the priority list is the extension of Erb street from Bluevale Another widening job incudes the extension of Caroline street to Laurel street and widening of Laurel to Bridgeport road which involves much planning because the future extension will circle the future civic square. SUGGESTED COST It is expected that many land purchases will be involved in the widening job and will cost around $340,000. A twoâ€"mile stretch of widenâ€" ing of King street north from Spring street to the northern limits will cost about $325,000 and also will involve many land road will be one of the costliest projects, There was much talk about how â€" pianning by â€" individual municipalities could be coâ€"orâ€" dinated for the common good and it appeared to be accepted by all representatives. However, there was some dispute about the method of planning. at a later date. It was felt that the ice storm was the reason delegates from Guelph, Galt, Hespeler and Bridgeport did not attend. :e township feel their municiâ€" lities would back such a move, if if were decided to go ahead immediately. Reeve Woods of Preston, felt his council would be reluctant to move quickly but may agree Mayor Bauer of Waterioo, Mayor Hummen of Kitchener Representation on the execuâ€" tive cannot be based simply on the number of people in any one municipality or the total amount of money that has to be paid by amy particular centre. "It should be based on securâ€" a say in the township area planâ€" years of the authority‘s hisâ€" . Kitchener has been repreâ€" on the executive comâ€" ‘Wilitee 12 years, nine years with @he representative and three yeare with two. _ During the 16 years only 20 ‘of the participating 71 centres have had representation on the committee.

Mr. Herter said that the Watâ€" erloo PUC is "25 years behind in our operations" as compared to the other centres he visited. "We‘re working in the dark ages," saiad PUC manager, Ivan Guelph‘s service centre cost $500,000 and the centre in Burâ€" lington cost $450,000. The chairman said the comâ€" mission would get "only a plain building with nice designe." for the figure he mentioned. These estimates were given after Mr. Herter had completed an inspection tour of other PUC service â€" centres in . Stratford, Guelph and other Ontario munâ€" ijcipalities. The commission had previous ly estimated the centre would cost about $100,000 to $150,000. The electrical revenue for 1962 was $1,117,535 as comâ€" pared to $971,130 in 1961 and $885,9909 in 1960. It was pointed out by the commissioners | that â€" surpluses are used for the development of new power growth and to reâ€" build the system. OTHER BUSINESS Howard Herter, building comâ€" mittee chairman, indicated the proposed service centre and offâ€" ice building on Weber street north will cost between $200,â€" 000 and $250,000. W. G. Woods, secretaryâ€"treas urer for the Waterloo PUC reâ€" ported that the PUC ended 1962 with an operating surplus of $123,954. It is the first time in the his tory of the commission that the total revenue from this departâ€" ment exceeded $1,000,000. The Margison survey recomâ€" mendations can only be used as a guide said Mr. Dutton, and the exact order of project priority will probably undergo changes. Last on the list is the extenâ€" s.on of Homer Watson boulevard, the western section of the future expressway which will skirt the two cities, to Victoria street in Kitchener. Electrical Surplus Reported By PUC street to Bridgeport road and widening of â€" Bridgeport road from Erb street to Lancaster \« Dr. Ralph Krueger of Kitchenâ€" er was elected chairman of the committee, which will be known as the area planning coâ€"ordinatâ€" ing committee. Snider that each municipality be invited to outline its probâ€" lems and said the committee should ask each municipal planâ€" ning board to attend. Mr. Woods indicated that he was against the early establishâ€" ment of an area planning board, the other delegates agreed to inâ€" vite Kitchener and Waterloo Township to outline their prob lems and bring them to the next meeting. OUTLINE PROBLEMS The group should work as a committee said Reeve Woods and eventually it could be efâ€" fective as a properly constituâ€" tion from that aree "but it didn‘t mayor Bauer, and this was an be used and the authority could do with one less in the Wellingâ€" ton County area.

He pointed out that distribuâ€" tion on the executive is excellent except for the Wellesley â€" Wilâ€" mot â€" Bienheim townshiv areas. Mayor Bauer suggested that the service centreâ€"office buildâ€" ing be constructed in stages to save money. This was received favorably by Howard Scheifele, chairman. ‘"This might be quite feasible, but we must pian for our future growth and must not skimp on space," added the chairman. Mayor Bauer stated that the commission â€" should deal with first problems first, that of proâ€" The North Bay mayor went on to claim that when such organiâ€" zations as the Federation of Northern Municipalities presentâ€" ed policies to the provincial govâ€" ernment the OMA sometimes gave countering proposals, and "Whether North Bay is a member or not, they will derive the benefits of our representaâ€" tions to the government because or representations are for all municipalities. "We‘re sorry to see them go, but I guess they‘ll get a free ride." MAKES SUGGESTION CONVENTION REPRESENT. ATION "Representation at the 1962 convention was the largest evâ€" er," said Mr. Allen. "I think this speaks for itself. And in 1963 there has been no indications of a decline in membership. According to William M. R. Allen, president of the OMA, the withdrawl of North Bay does not indicate a gemeral decline in membership. The greatest objection Mayor Hewitt felt was the OM‘s pracâ€" tice of allowing not only the elâ€" ected representatives but apâ€" pointed delegates such as munâ€" icipal employees to vote at its conventions. He said he would be "more than pleased" to see every northern Ontario city, town and village sever its memâ€" bership. Kitchener â€" alderman, Frank Hoddle, said he had attended only on OMA convention "but it was one of the best." [ Twin City representative gave little support to the recent deâ€" cision by North Bay City Council to drop its membership in the Ontraio Municipal Association. Mayor Cecil Hewitt of North Bay feels that the association has grown out of all proportion and he added it no longer serâ€" ves the purpose for which it was originally designed. D. C. Schaefer, city treasurer, expressed his thoughts saying that thg association did perform a worthwhile purpose in bringâ€" ing together elected and appoinâ€" ted officials to discuss related problems.

Mayor C. H. Meier of Strat ford feels the OMA is needed beâ€" cause there is greater strength in numbers. Mayor Garnet Newâ€" kirk of Chatham feels that both types of organization "perform a very useful function in Onâ€" tario, and the province has inâ€" dicated on many occasions that it feels the same way." Timmins mayor Leo Del Vilk lano thought North Bay were too hasty in withdrawing from the association. It was a hody with great value for its memâ€" bers and it could operate on both the elected and appointed levels. PROVIDES GOOD SERVICE Mayor John C. McDonald of Orillia, feels the OMA is one of the best organizations of its kind in Ontario. Reeve Gerald McCrank of Teck Township said he has "no Qualms" about the OMA, in Kirkland Lake, the OMA‘s "original purpose was to provide legislation and that is what the OMA is doing." Mayor William Ellis, of Sudâ€" bury, feels the OMA is sticking to its original purpose, which "to my mind was to give a stronger voice to the municipalities." _ Pembroke mayor, Angus A. Campbell expressed happiness when he learned that Mayor Hewitt had retained memberâ€" ship in the Ontario Mayors and Reeves _ Association _ because "people are looking to this assoâ€" ciation of people they have put in office for direction and guidâ€" ance .from the grass roots." However, the OMA served "a very definite purpose in Ontario since it is made up of < clerkâ€" treasurers and elected represenâ€" tatives." "the result is that the govern ment doesn‘t know which way to turn in taking action." He suggested that best repâ€" resentation might be obtained through the Ontario Mayors and Reeves Association or the Canaâ€" dian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities as well as the northern _ federation, â€" because these groups represented electâ€" ed rather than appointed offieâ€" 10,189
