It appears said the commissioner, that gross income is being used as the determining factor in establishing rents and family size ‘served by the pay cheque does not get consideration. ~ Metro welfare commissioner John Anderson is coming around to the view that the rantal rate for persons in public housing projects should be based on the total needs of the family rather than on income alone. t â€"York Federation of Ratepayers Association decided last week to investigate the alleged remark of York Mayor Jack Mould that the Chairman of the Ontario Municipal Board "was a bit of a nut". John Danielson, federation president told a meeting off ratepayers organization that he intended to meet with the mayor to find what exactly was said. Mr. Mould did make a remark about J.A. Kennedy and apologized later to him in a telephone conversation. "He used derogatory language to a valued public servant," said another member of the federation. Mr. Danielson said if the facts are correct tha the mayor did make the statement }he federation will send a letter to York Council. lett Any letter sent to OMB that concerns a pending public hearing on rezoning issues cannot be considered by the board. According to J.A. Kennedy, board chairman, the law of Ontario prohibits the board from looking at anything that is not submitted at theâ€"hearing. Mr. Kennedy said letter writers do get a reply to their letter of complaint on an issue but it only ~indicates that such letter cannot be considered as evidence or a statement related to the hearing. Several years ago the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the OMB could not look at anything that was not submitted during a public Metro first low rental apartment project for elderly citizens in York is‘ well under way. The completion date is March 1969 for the Mount Dennis apartments on Porter Ave. A total of 247 suites will be provided. Interior construction work is in progress Metro officials last week indicated no interest in acquiring the Metro area‘s first low;| rental housing project for the elderly, Beechâ€"Hall apartments. Metro government has compiled a list of 30 railway level crossings that should be eliminated over the next 10 to 15 years. York borough will remain responsible for the Beechâ€"Hall project. A recent re-paintll;sccontnct was let for the housing development which is also suffering certain structural problems. On the.list for 1969 is Weston Road, north of Finch Ave. in North York and at a later date the crossing on Finch Ave. east of Keele St. and on Steeles Ave. east of Keele St. Metro is currently trying to obtain additional financial contributions from the federal government to finance separation of railway crossings with roadways. In the Metro area on the basis of existing land and construction costs each project could cost upwards of $3â€"million. There are now 30,000 persons in Metro Toronto receiving a welfare allowance ranging from $50 to $300 a month, depending on family and economic circumstances. Metro welfare department reports that 19,000 to 20,000 of these people are in an unemployable category, through long illness, physical handicap or mothers left alone in the community with a numbér of children. Another 11,000 are persons who are employable by Metro standards but who either cannot find a job or are so unskilled as to be of no use in the labor market. In this group over 2,000 are listed as being the head of a family. The policy that letters cannot be considered by the OMB applies only if and when a public hearing is planned on a rezoning matter. If no hearing is scheduled a letter writer can expect some consideration of his or her letter.
