Ward 2 Councillor Joe Gould personally agrees with the idea but not the system Service is using to ‘promote it. *‘People from outside of Metro are confused," Said Gould. *"‘Most ofi them think that we live in Don Mills or Toronto because we use these mailing addresses." "Unless ~action is ~initiated now," said Service, "to change the nineâ€" postal districts in North York to ‘North York‘ Onâ€" tario,‘ we will continue to live in the only community in Canâ€" ada to which you cannot address mail." © He said he received very little encouragement from pos tal officials when he discussed the idea and for this reason North Yorkers should demand action from their members of parliament. , Gould said the question should be put on the ballot in the December municipal elecâ€" tions so that the people can state whether they want the name North York to replace postal addresses. "Jim Walker of York Centre and â€"Bob Stanbury of York Scarâ€" borough can both he reached at the House of Commons, Ottawa, but like all other North Yorkâ€" ers, neither has a ‘North York‘ postal address, he stated. ers to take advantage of this price, it is proposed to comâ€" municate this service to the private residents in the areas on the basis that the work is to be done at the time the contractor is on the street, and providing that they make their own arâ€" rongements with regard to payâ€" ment to the Company.

Beside King School The Weston Board of Educaâ€" tiom voted last week to withdraw objections to a proposed 168â€"suite apartment building on Weston Rd. just north of King Street Public school. The board previously objected to the Watts development beâ€" cause trustees felt it would inâ€" crease the school population, would create traffic congestion and use space that could be used for a school expansion.
