of the most flagrant misuses of public funds is recorded from waterloo where the county council of waterloo voted them selves a turkey at the closing session of the council for 1949 if the boys are able to get back into office again next year after a trick of that kind it will be a miscarriage of justice on the part of the ratepayers nine of the seventeen members of waterloo county council voted for the resolution the resolution came as an amendment to a resolution voting a turkey to staff employees around the county building the council had just come from a free supply donated by the north dunfries township officials at ayr some body suggested a free turkey for everybody and the idea caught like wildfire nothing was mention ed about a nice big chicken for every burdened taxpayer who is footing the turkey expense reeve simon ditner wilmot township insisted ifdid not look right for council members to vote themselves a turkey its going too far he said reeve amos wilkinson welles ley township rounded the dis cussion with the explanation council members are annually in the red on their mileage expenses due to the government pinning them down to fiive cents a mile he thought the turkey gift would make up for this shortage in council expense accounts and would at least provide some explanation for lifting the lid and letting out a flock of turkeys each bearing a tag with the name of a councillor television by 1951 from toronto cbc by september 1951 the tele vision station which the cbc will build in toronto should be on a regular broadcasting schedule so hon j j mccann minister of national revenue said in the commons as the house was asked to vote 81500000 as a loan to cbc for television expenses in the cur rent fiscal year dr mccann said national tele vision production centres would be set up in toronto and montreal the government was prepared to license one private station in each city perhaps more if frequencies should be available the govern ment had urged those who intend ed to get into television to get to gether to form groups practically none had got together television would develop along lines parallel to the cbc said dr mccann it was expected to be self- supporting from commercial revenue and license fees in a few years but development until it was selfsupporting would require much more than the 1500000 loan parliament was now being asked for a general electric transmitter will be bought for toronto at a cost of sislooo as soon as parliament finally approves the vote studios will be built likely on jarvis st there should be test programs next year with regular broadcast ing to start in september 1951 location of the transmitting tower was not mentioned by dr mccann no definite site has been chosen by the cbc for its proposed tele vision transmitter in toronto ron fraser director of cbc press and information said we have made extensive pre liminary surveys and have several locations in mind we are limited however by several factors first we have not been officially notified of the governments loan then before definitely picking the site we will have to receive approval from the city aviation authorities and the rcaf the cbc is negotiating to put its montreal transmitting tower atop mount royal in the first year of television operating the obc estimated there would be 2250 receiving sets and this would increase to 168000 by 1955 revenues from 1951 to 1955 were estimated at 3600000 from licenses 10 a set and 2800000 commercial revenue bu lova canadas la watch value gjmofl styling lasting
