He said the petitions will ask the Metro government not to move the polâ€" ice station from the Town Hall to a location outside town. This rumour, as the Councillor described it, has been circulated through town at various times since the creation of the Metro force in 1956. Last year Police Commissioner C.O. Bick assured the town the station would not be moved for ‘"at least one year", and probably not at all. Councillor Cott said he heard the story this year again from "a _ highly â€" informed _ source", and decided to act by petition to settle the matter "finally‘. Blocked Off Merchants Do Well Anyway "It was unfortunate we had to tear up the road when new busâ€" inesses were opening, but they will have a better street as a reâ€" sult," Mayor George Bull told his fellow Councillors and businessâ€" men of John Street, Monday. ‘The street was ripped up and repaved last week and this, coâ€" inciding with opening of several newâ€"stores on the street. Councillor Cott intends to colâ€" lect the petitions and return them to the Police Commission, and Metro Council. Councillor L1loyd Sainsbury said he "resented implications”i in the newspaper last week sayâ€" ing the Works Department had not sent out notices to the busiâ€" nessmen when the street was torn up. He added that the busiâ€" nessmen on John Street, in spite of the repaving, had done a "betâ€" ter business" last week and this than anyone had expected.

The John Street Lot has been the most profitable form of parkâ€" ing for the town with an increase in use of 14.28 per cent this year over last.

The Busiâ€" nessmen‘s Association voted unâ€" animously to support a Vote Yes campaign. but they are keeping the campaign to a minimum. At last report they were lookâ€" ing for Weston residents to lead the campaign. They feel the sale of liquor in Weston will increase business and meet the ‘more cosmopoliâ€" tan atmosvhere of the town gainâ€" ed over the past few years with new influxes of people into the area.

Striking out against the ‘poor federal legislation‘ which promâ€" pted such bills as the one to assist Municipalities to finance Capital Works through the Onâ€" tario Government, Mr. Young said in Metropolitan areas such as Metro Toronto jobs such as the Eastâ€"West subway construcâ€" tion outweigh the necessity of small _ works ventures. His speech to the House follows: If Mr. Gordon is really serâ€" ious about tackling the unemâ€" ployment problem he can‘t lay this kind of responsibility upon the municipalities. Under this legislation, municipalities will not only have to raise a third of the cost of works affected, but they‘ll have to tax themselâ€" ves in future years to pay at least 84% of the total. Major Jobs Provide Most Employmentâ€"MPP Canadian unemployment just can‘t be solved by providing jobs via the municipal tax rolls. If the government insists that this vehicle must be used, then both upper levels of govâ€" ernment must participate more fully in the plan. They, and not the municipal taxpayer shouid bear the major share of the cost of creating employment since their treasuries benefit first and most from more jobs. If this kind of economic philoâ€" sophy is to be applied to solâ€" ving our unemployment â€" that is, laying the main burden ’m the municipalities â€" then ‘ it would seem that we‘ve forgot ten nothing and learned noth ing since the thirties.‘ Since we must act on the basis of poor federal legislation, then Ontario must take certain steps to make sure that maxiâ€" mum employment results from the use of the fund. I would hope that this government will supplement the federal funds by making available the extra third to the munidipal governâ€" ments conm . A provincial fund in (’:r:ler of seventy million dallars should be set up to supplement the feder.l fund and to provide the full amount to be borrowed by the municiâ€" palities for these works. A matâ€" ching . provincial . forgiveness clause would mean that a total of 25% of the total cost would To match the Public Utilities d the decorations would centre on the Town Hall which is the "foâ€" cal point of the town." Councilior Wesley Boddington explained that it was the busiâ€" Weston Road‘s business section who would be putting up the moâ€" Weston‘s Report Ready Jan. 31 Toronto area, by January 31.

At the same time North York Council was busy outvoting Reeve Norman Goodheed. The Council voted 54 in favour of a borough system for Metro, instead of the Reeve‘s plan for amalgamation. Carl Goldenber, Royal Comâ€" missioner on amalgamation, will receive the reports of all Metro‘s municipalities by January 31 for using the fund. Unless this kind of arrangement is made, many of our poorer municipalâ€" Act is to promote employment. It would seem to be our res ponsibility so to administer the fund that areas of low employâ€" ment should get prefetential treatment and should have first call on the fund. greatest â€" will not be able to take advantage of the fund and many of the more affluent ones just won‘t be too intereste. development of new areas.
