' WestonTimes _ Since York and Weston become one municipality on Jan. 1, the reeve said he considers that the sale would be a matter of joint concern. "I will go along with the sale if our (York) library board has no obâ€" jection," the reeve told Metro officials. In the assumption by Metro of all welfare servâ€" ices it is indicated that the welfare office in Weston will be closed down and the welfare office to serve the borough of York will be located at the existing York Township municipal office. York Township Reeve Mould moved the motion at Metro executive last week which sends the new Metro procedure bylaw for the 1967 council on to this yvear‘s council for approval. York Township Reeve Jack Mould asked Metro last week to postpone giving any approval or disapâ€" proval of the sale of the land to the funeral home pending a study of the matter by the York Township library board. The reeve said the proposed land sale had never been brought to the attention of the York Library board. _ The two home fad is sweeping through a large portion of the Metro population and at least one uniâ€" versity group and civic planners have it under study. The two home idea is the house in the city and the cotâ€" tage at the lake. Many people are winterizing their cottages for yearâ€"round activity. Metro has apvoroved $953,000 in capital financing for North York. This inâ€" cludes funds for renovation of an ice rink, provision of services in a new industrial area, sanitary sewers on some residential streets and a storm sewer. The proposal of the Ward Funeral Home in Wesâ€" ton to buy a 420â€"square foot section of Weston public library land has been held up at the request of York Township. In accordance with the new Metro Act, Weston is required to get Metro approval of the sale of any land used for public library purposes, since in 1967 Metro intends to form a regional library board. Portable classrooms are costing North York about $10,000 each these days. York Township plans to operâ€" ate 24 natural ice rinks this winter but only 11 would have both lighting and supervision. â€" The TTC intends to establish permanent bus stops on Airport Rd. to serve a new industrial area being developed along the Malton bus route. There are 14 factories under construction or completed in the area of American Dr. The Finch Ave. bus service in North York will be extended at the end of the month in the form of a 30 minute service to Pearldale Ave. during the working week. The TTC is now on record as agreeâ€" ing to provide a street car or bus service on the Spaâ€" dina expressway route when it is completed. A TTC commissioner arrived at his office last week carrying a bundle of flowers from his garden. . â€" â€" Etobicoke Reeve John MacBeth grumbled last week that too many draftsmen worked on the new Metro council procedure bylaw. Beamish Construction Co. got the $246,000 contract for snow plowing and salting of Metro roadways this coming winter in the Westonâ€"North York and York Township area. _ The last regular meeting of Metro Council this year Will be Nov. 15 but some special meeting will obviously have to be called, even in the middle of civic election campaigning. Metro will pay $29 a month for each space used by Metro Council members noxt year in parking their cars in the civic square underground garage. Metro has agreed to install traffic signai lights at Bathurst St. and Rockford Rd. It was found that there had been a substantial increase in traffic volumes during the morning rush hour at the North York intersection. Metro has agreed to acquire about two acres of land at Scarlett Rd. and Richview side road in Etobicoke for part of the route of the future Richview expressway which will cut through York Township and Etobicoke. Some idea of how much Metro will be spending over the next few years is contained in an annual Metro budget statement. Metro is expected to shift soon to three year capital spending programs rather than the outdated annual program. Five year snendin@ forecasts by both local and Metrb municipalities will become common in future. Some examnles of future Metro spending over the eight year neriod 1966â€"1973 inclusive (nrovidine prosperity is maintained): n roads. $119,000,000. on an extended water sunnlv. $90.000,000. on water pollution control. $54.000.0N0 welfare and housinge projects such as homes for the aved and low rental anartments for the aced $15.000.. 000. In total Metro mavy snend we‘ll over £300,000,.000 on services in the eicht vear nerind. Metro welfare committee intends to give a close look to a proposal to a pay later plan for municipal taxes which could be applied to old age pensioners and families living on fixed income. Metro will spend $9,987 on the installation of a fire alarm system in one of its older homes for the aged. Metro will send repâ€" resentatives to the annual conference of the Canadian Institute of Pollution Control.
