Now it is being used by a group that seem to be doing this type of work. In the last few days residents of the Janeâ€"John . Best area in North York have phoned Weston Times to say they are absolutely opposed to the proposed highâ€"rise housing projects in their vicinity. The 76â€"unit building was apâ€" proved by North York Board of Control last January but it was not made public until recently. The feeling is that this is not thildren without a place to play. The increase in traffic which the building will bring will make it even more hazardous than at There is also a damaged car on the apron in front of the building. If one person was refused a Ratepayers Blast High Rise As ‘Concrete Monstrosities‘ The double high rise buildings planned for the Janeâ€"Sheppard area is the cause of great opposiâ€" tion from the ratepayers in the immediate area. Ronald Bennet, a representaâ€" tive from the Glenficldâ€"Romfield Ratepayers Association, veheâ€" mently protested the project. He claims it would~ cause overâ€" crowding in the neighboring schools, an increased tax rate, hazardous traffic conditions, and TV interference. 1 The area residents, Mr. Benâ€" net stated, had relied "on a proâ€" mise that was given," and had bought their properties thinking they had not been zomed as "high rise." V. M. Singer, solicitor for Luâ€" marc Investments insisted these objections were merely extenâ€" sions of the truth, and not facts. Overcrowding in the schools was unlikely, he said. The side streets Mr. Bennet claimed had increased We understand the Weston town council, before amalgamaâ€" tion, refused an automobile reâ€" pair shop a licence to work in the building on Eim Street beâ€" tween Church and King Streets.

To the councillors and alderâ€" men of the Borough we wish to point out that on June 30th we notified the Works Department of a large parking sign that was lying on the lawn in the C.P.R. lot at Rosemount and John Street.

By the end of the year 1909, plans were wellâ€" under way with a choir selected, a Sunday school formed and contactâ€"madeâ€"to the Home Mission Board expressing a desire for organization.

MOUNT DENNIS BAPTIST In a recent issue of the Mount Dennis Baptist Church n*wsletter, Alex Roberts has started a series of articles on the history of the memories for many Mount Denâ€" nis residents. Mr. Roberts reports that the circumstances of the first meetâ€" ing at the home of William Codd Jan. 21, 1909, was both wonderful and mysterious. Rev. John Mcintosh, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, decided to visit a sick member who had moved to Mount Dennis. When he arrived, the Reverend found Mr. Codd instead, because the sick member had moved away. Codd and Rev. Mcintosh decided to hold meetings in the house. traffic conditions did not concern the proposed buildings, and interâ€" ference on the TV sets was also overstressed, he stated. The apartments were anything but "concrete monstrosities," as they had been referred to; only 7 p.c. of the land was taken up with buildings, and 75 p.c. of the parking was underground. s Mr. Singer objected to the phrases "dubious considerations," and _ "foregone _ conclusions." There was no basis for this, he said. When pressed, Mr. Bennet withâ€" drew the words, and alderman John Booth put an end to the arâ€" gument by saying that something that had been meant one way was picked up in another. Alderman Murray Chusid movâ€" ed there be a deferral of the isâ€" sue until the Board of Education At the first meeting in May 15, 1909, 16 people were present, in cluding such names as Codd, Barâ€" rett, Fordham, Loads, Ramsden, Sargent and Birch. In July, 1909, it was agreed to pay the pastor $10 a month salâ€" ary, which was later increased to $250 a year. The nearest park is also locatâ€" ed across busy Jane St., which will shortly be wideried into six Construction on this site will start some time this year and be completed in 1968.
