A Probe spokesman, Frank Doe, told council a local dealer is willing to pay the city $6 to $8 per ton, if the paper is deposited at central points around the city for once or twiceâ€"monthly collecâ€" tions. Mr. Doe suggested this might be accomplished by having railâ€" way cars at various centres around the city to which people could bring their collections. He said they don‘t qualify for assistance under the present bylaw because they are not single parâ€" ents but suggested their problems were similar since one was going to school and the other had to support the family. The matter was referred to council‘s industry and special committee for consideration. About half the parents will need a subsidy, he said. Most of them are undergraduates. The day care centre at the marâ€" ried student quarters at the Uniâ€" versity of Waterloo is operating at a deficit and the students have asked the city to help out. A spokesman for the tenant asâ€" sociation, which operates the cenâ€" tre, told council many students are finding the $62 a month fee per child too steep. Child care fees too steep students seek city subsidy If the city agrees to subsidize the centre it would recover 80 percent of the cost from the proâ€" charge of the bake table. _ Hostesses were Mrs. H.E,.
