For several years, Simcoe and Bercezy worked hand in glove in building up York. Bercezy laid out early Toronto and employed laâ€" bor to cut Yonge St. north. to Markham. Simcoe promised to grant Berezy two entire townâ€" ships (45,000 acres each) and in return Berezy awas to import thouâ€" sands of immigrants, sorely needâ€" ed if Upper Canada was to dampâ€" en the expansionist fires of the Americans.

WILLIAM BERCZY: Coâ€"Founder Of Toronto (Ortoprint â€"â€" Toronto $8.00) The borough of York has comâ€" mitted itself to the expenditure of approximately half a million dollars in the name and spirit of Centennial Year. Of this substantial sum, perhaps the best investment was a $4,000 grant used to research and pubâ€" lish the story .of William Berezy, truly a pioneering genius, who, along with John Graves Simcoe, was the coâ€"founder of York which was later to become Toronto. "William Berczy, Coâ€"Founder of Toronto," is the product of four years of historical research conâ€" ducted by author John Andre, a senior member of the borough of York‘s planning department. After much political intrigue in Continental Europe, in the late 1780‘s, Berezy chartered two ships which transported 239 Eurâ€" opeans. to the promised land. The 168â€"page . book sheds a great new ray of light on the early history of Toronto and York Township~as well as Upper and Lower Canada.

Berezy and his life in Canada (not to mention his adventures in Europe and the U.S.) are much too complex to describe in detail in less than 200 pages of type.

He is a big enough Canadian to merit three or four doctoral degrees in history. Andre has beaten a path for serious and objective students of history to follow.

Metro Traffic Departâ€" ment is expected to recommend on which Metro roads the night reâ€" striction on use by trucks will be removed. Instead, he attempts to get all of William Berezy across to the reader in one book which is just about impossible. Andre does, however, bare a ‘new‘ face in Canada‘s early history and sheds a new light on a fascinating character that many history proâ€" fessors, for reasons that could not be termed objective have beâ€" littled. The book is well worth reading; particularly for those who don‘t hq ve preconceived prejudices abqut people like Simcoe solely because the history teacher paintâ€" ed the Lieutenant Governor to look like a saint instead of a misâ€" erable sinner.
