Mayor Jack Mould stood up to jrate ratepayers Tuesday night and steadfastly refused to back down in his stand to expropriate 185 homes in the face of opposition from the public, his council, and the school trustees. Two hundred seventy residents, incensed at the prospect of losing their homes to make way for four new park sites in York‘s eastâ€"end gave the mayor a tough time in their desperation. They clashed m the auditorium of Cedarvale public school. .« The houses must go in order to replace parkland lost when the Spadina Expressway is extended through Cedarvale Park, using up 13.8 acres. CUTâ€"ANDâ€"COVER The ratepayers want cutâ€"andâ€" eover, whereby the expressway would go under the land, with the park on top. It would save their homes, but other eastâ€"end resiâ€" dents would still be deprived of the parks for which they have been paying taxes, said Mould.

Besides showing up as the York‘s planning, works, and parks commissioners are among those who support proposals to expropriate 185 houses, three churches and six businesses to make up for the 13.5 acre parks deficit that will exist after the Spadina expressw ay slices through Ced ivale Park. . _ During the past 60 days, some homeowners and several ratepayâ€" ers‘ groups have been drumming up an anti â€" expropriation camâ€" paign, claiming that there is little demand for narks in the areas where York wants Metro to buy up homes, Last Thursday, planning comâ€" missioner Peter E. Allen sub mitted a report solidly supporting the expropriation scheme. F Commissioner Allen in his reâ€" port which was accepted by all member of planning board except Ward 2 Alderman Cy Townsend, said council had three choices: cided to build_the Spadina exâ€" pressway, it promised York if would replace "acre for acre" parklands required for the purâ€" pose. 1. York could accept an outâ€" right $4 million grant from Métro now and decide later where it would exprop ate land for parks. 2. Ten of the 13.5 acres the Spandina expressway will require in Cedarvale_park could be reâ€". placed by covering the expressâ€" way over (cut and cover) for $5 million. 3. Expropriate close to 200 homes for $4 million in four eastend locations to make up the 13.5 Cedarvale parks loss. Of the three choices said planâ€" ner Allen. the third would be the wisest. He stated that in York‘s official plan approved by the Minâ€" ister of Municipal Affairs in 1963, one of the key recommendations was to eventually provide more parks in major parks deficiency areas. is that there would be less disâ€" ruption than the creation of parks elsewhere. However he also poinâ€" ted out that the great disadvanâ€" tage would be the chance to imâ€" plement a "very important part of the official plan." Allen said also it woud cost $500,000 per acre to reclaim parkâ€" land in Cedarvale Park using the cut and cover method whereas parkland would only cost $280,000 per acre by acquisition elsewhere. If council accepted a $4 million grant for parks to be acquired some time in the future, the funds woud depreciate as propâ€" erty values continue to rise he noted. The main advantage of this idea he suggested would be to avoid making an immediate deciâ€" sion. But, he added. the decision will ha.e to be made someday anvyhow. s Yorks top planner listed a number of advantages to the exâ€" propriation plan which he supâ€" ports. â€"It would provide local parks where there is a serious shortâ€" age: would improve the genâ€" eral area and serve the exist ing population better.
