106 MAIN ST. SOUTH Simpson Motor Sales = The confusion of numbering on Lawrence Ave. received consideraâ€" tion by Council when a communiâ€" cation from the Township of Etobiâ€" coke was received suggesting a logical numbering system on the street, At present, the Mayor exâ€" plained, there is a Lawrence Ave. E. and a Lawrence Ave. W, from Yonge St. Then, in the Weston portion of the street, Lawrence Ave numbers east and west from the Main St. and over the river the houses start to number again, Obviously, such a haphdzard numâ€" bering system is causing considerâ€" able confusion and duplication, especially to delivery truck drivers and mail carriers. The suggestion of Etobicoke, which was adopted by council, was thatâ€"the town carry on the numbering from North York at Jane St. over to Etobicoke Council‘s attention was brought to the matter of heavy traffic on Main St,. North by Reeve Rownâ€" tree who claimed that a large number of. heavy tractorâ€"trailer trucks were using the Main St. North and speeding the deteriora~ tion of that road. Council discussâ€" ed the subject, during which discusâ€" sior it was mentioned that the dirt sideâ€"roadsâ€"&lso stiffer heavily from these vehicles, No action was decided upon. _ Council gave their approval last ‘Monday night to an< offer of $3,600. towards the cost of the ©Etobicoke Foot Bridge with the © provision that no further financial ‘pbligation : or liability for the \‘bridge will be incurred. A comâ€" <munication from the Etobicoke ‘Council stated that a tender for ‘the bridge had been accepted at a cost of $14,395 which is considerâ€" ably higher than was first estimâ€" ated almost two years ago. Alâ€" though the town is not financially ,liable for the cost of the bridge which will span the Humber at the faingrounds south of Lawrence "Avenue, the town should not ignore the â€" Etobicoke need and should *adopt a good neighbour policy," said _ Deputyâ€"Reeve Seagrave. ‘Council was unanimous in their decision to make the offer. Special fastâ€"setting cement will be purchased to pave the Main St. between Oak and Park Sts. at an additional cost so. that this porâ€" tion. of the street will. not become a bottle neck. The Special Roads Committee, _ which _ recommended the purchase, said that ordinary pavement would require about 21 days for drying while the special fastâ€"setting cement would need only 4 or 5 days, This action, the committee stated, would prevent the detouring of traffic over the Wadsworth bridge for more than a few days. Profits and losses for the town trans ortation systems continued to show a favourable balance durâ€" ing the month of February 1949, according to the latest TTC ‘stateâ€" ment to the town. Net profit for the month for both the Main St. and crosstown buses was $357.50 while for the same period last year a deficit of $208.08 was experiencâ€" ed. Profits for the Main St. operaâ€" tion showed an increase this year during February to $597.72 as comâ€" pared with a profit of only $198.73 in 1948. The crosstown bus conâ€" tinued to operate at a loss during February of this year although not as great as for the same period last year. In February 1949, the crosstown bus operation showed a deficit of $240.22 in 1948 the deâ€" ficit was $406.81. Transportation Chairman Jack Holley reported proâ€" gress in the matter of the proposal of the Weston Business Men‘s Asâ€" sociation‘s suggestions for imâ€" proved crosstown ‘bus service and stated that a detailed report would likely be forthcoming at the next Council meeting.

Mr. Banting stated, this agreeâ€" ment applies to the Junior series only, _ and â€" that â€" Intermediate, Juvenile, Bantam and Peeâ€"wee will still be open for the Community Council or anyone else interested ’ Undér _ the _ agreement, Mr. ‘Smythe will supply his own coach, ‘trainc-r and manager, but neither Mr, Smythe or Maple Leaf Garâ€" dens will have anything to do with the management of the arena. It was also agreed that where posâ€" sible, home games of the Juniors would be played on Friday nights in Weston. Although: nothing deâ€" finite was said in the agreement it is expected this Junior team will take the name of Weston. Continued from page 1â€", cipally owned or otherwise gives free time, was obtained.. The â€" installation should make a saving of some $1,200 each month for the PUC who agreed to pay. off the loan in two years. Reeve Rowntree pointed out that the savings would continue after the installation was payed for and would eventually benefit Hydro consumers. Mr. Weisdorf, of Weston Ladies‘ Wear, asked council to permit him to put up a prefabricated steel canopy over the entrance of his new Main St. store to protect his fabrics from the rays of the sun and for modernization purposes. The canopy would extend over the street line three feet at one end (and angle in so that no eneroachâ€" ment of the street line would exist ;}a‘t the other_end of the canopy. fDPputyâ€"reeve‘ Seagrave criticised fthe indefinite plans presented to council and mentioned the protecâ€" itive boarding â€" construction â€" was erected before a building permit ;had been issued. Councillor Holley agreed with the deputyâ€"reeve that plans were indefinite but suggested that three feet be specified. It was finally > agreed that permission: would be granted to Mr. Weisdorf providing an agreement was reachâ€" ed with him specifying the threeâ€" foot limit and that plans satisâ€" factory to the engineer were submitted by Mr. Weisdorf. Council approved the loan to the Public Utilities Commission of $22,000 to install a flatâ€"rate water heater control system, providing the approval of the Ontario HEPC Maple Leaf Gardens Earlier, the delegation had said that baby carriages bogged down on the road, and milkmen don‘t come near the place. The engineer stated that this had been an excepâ€" ‘&ionally bad spring for roads but that the Works Dept. had planned to lay a proper base of crushed stone and grade it for drainage as soon as possible. Mayor Thompson told the delegation, "We want you to feel at home in Weston and we welcome your complaints â€" and criticisms. We willâ€"try to look after you as best we can." A delegation from Patika Ave, revealed deplorable conditions of this street and enquired what the procedure was to get an improved roadâ€"on their street. Deputyâ€"reeve Seagrave explained to Mr. A. K. Wallis and the delegation the proâ€" cedure, In the past, Mr. Seagrave said, the residents on the dirt, roads in the town had not beem willing to pay their portion of the cost of a macademized road and conâ€" sequently many dirt roads reâ€" mained. The deputyâ€"reeve said that twoâ€"thirds of the home owners on the street must sign a petition to council asking for the improved road. Then the town estimates the cost and tolls the owners on the street for their portion of the cost. who would continue the numbering from there. % wesrton 657 _ To date about one fifth of the canvass has been completed and a total of more than $7,000 has been collected from local residents. Mr. Banting said money will have to be subscribed faster to get artiâ€" ficial ice for the 1949â€"50 season. A copy of the complete agreeâ€" men between the two parties will be found elsewhere in this issue. Any money received from the operation of the arenga which is not spent in maintenace, must be turned back into the centre for imâ€" provement of same, as per the agreement with the Town of Wesâ€" ton. As mentioned before the Trustees cannot put a mortgage or any debt on the Recreation Centre, and if the Trustees are depleted to less than five, or the Lions Club disbands, the Recreation Centre reverts to the town, debt free. to sponsor.
