It is to give the Metro chairman time to write a speech. The North York reeve strongly favors the aldermanic seat at Metro for the berough being held on an annual basis rather than one person havâ€" ing the job for the full threeâ€"year term. This way the $3,000 salary attached to the post can be spread among three instead ot one alderman. The bunching up of transit vehicles on various routes is of growâ€" Ing concern to TTC officials. Part of the problem is general traffic congestion. TTC chairman Ralph Day admitted last week that no member of the commission is willing to say definitely there will be a transit fare hike next year. One reason, of course, is the TTC commissioners, more than officials, are afraid a fare jump could cause Metro to provide a subsidy to avoid such a step and this would lead to outright political control: of transit. The soâ€"called strong advocates in Mctro of expressways are busy supporting and building the Spadina expressway which just happens to contain a subway alignment in the midd‘c of the north and southâ€" bound lanes. They haven‘t seen the TTC offering any large support toward this particular subway route. Nowih York Reeve James Serâ€" vice has one reason why Metro‘s inaugural meeting on Jan. 10 will be split into a morning and afternoon session. /There is little doubt but that North York mayorâ€"elect James Serâ€" vice can expect discord within his own ranks among the six Metro representatives. The question remains how much will develop to disturb his increasing role on the executive and council. North York hasn‘t had a seatâ€"on Metro executive since 1963. Some members of the new Metro Council fully expect that Metro Chairman William Allen, as the outâ€"goiny chairman, will discuss Metro problems with the incoming Metro chairman mext Jan, 10. Metro elects a chairman for a threeâ€"year term on that date. Unless some drastic miscalculation takes place Mr. Allen will be talking to himself about Metro plans as the outâ€"going and inâ€"coming Metro chairman. He shouldn‘t have too much opposition that way, at least until he gets into Metro executive and council sessions. A lot of the capital spending program contemplated by North York over the next five years deals with road construction, sideâ€" walks and expansion of park and recreational facilities. York Townâ€" ship has a heavy sewer program as well as plans for major park and recreational improvements. York, ol course, takes over the fiveâ€"year sewer and road construction program planned by Weston. How much alteration will be made in the old Weston program will be up to the new ‘borough administration. Metro is considering a new method of indicating what should be the maximum density of development allowed for apartment conâ€" struction. There are those of course, even some members of planâ€" ning boards, who would virtually discard all development controls on apartment development in a bid to meet housing shortage probâ€" loms. Christmas festivities at Weston special holiday assemblies earlier singing in English, French and Latin. In the second half of the proâ€" gram, members of the Variety Club, with the help of their staff adviser, Mr. T. Drewbrook, put on a Christmas skit with a humâ€" orous look at activities at the North Pole. Doug Standing and Beth McMillan were, respectively, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Greg Verner was the North Pole foreâ€" man and Bruce Latimer the stirâ€" rerâ€"up of labour troubles. Some of the teachers got into the act as well. But under a certain set of conditions York has been in favor of mo apparent maximum density limitations. Metro planners have controls, however, which suggest an average of 60 suites to the acre for vacant land and 120 suites to 140 suites for redevelopment areas. The Metro yardstick is often considered by the Ontario Municipal Board in dealing with apartment rezoning applications. Lach assembly was divided into two parts â€" the first part the second lightâ€"hearted Santaâ€" type fun in the form of a skit. In the early part of the proâ€" gram the orchestra under the direction of Mr. G. Gariin playâ€" ed several selections appropriate to the season, and students then enjoyed a group of carois sung by the girls‘ choir led by Miss M. Fanning. The girls showed their talent for languages by The annual Christmas dance at W.C.L last Friday was another successful holiday activity. More than 300 students filled the cafeâ€" teria to dance to the music of the Last Words. Under existing zoning in North York according to the Urban Development Institute, the maximum residential density for apartâ€" ment construction is about 60 to 65 apartment suites for each acre. In Etobicoke on vacant land the density allowed is about 35 apartâ€" ment suites for each acre and in potential redevelopment areas about 70 suites to the acre. in Scarboro it‘s about 60 apartment suites to the acre on vacant land. York Township appears to allow the highest density development, about 120 suites to the acre. One of the marked examples of lack of uniformity in Metro area planning can be found in the density controls allowed for apartment development in the new boroughs. ~ NEWS from Weston Collegiate _ 1972 WESTON RD.
