Steve Melnichuk, chairman of the Local 222, UAW, elec- tion committee, announced this morning that due to the number of members who cast their ballots and the large number of candidates it may 'be three weeks before the results of the election are known, Eight thousand and twenty-four members ca st their ballots, To date about a quarter of the ballots have been counted. There is also the possibility that run-offs will be necessary in some in- stances.

With city council stopped from constructing the sidewalks (for two years) under Section 12 of the Local Improvement Act (the "'initiative plan"), the city fathers moved Monday night to do the work under Sec- tion Eight of the same act. The bylaw covering the work under Section 12 was rescinded and the new motion passed with the necessary two- thirds vote Monday night at a special, 50-minute council-in- committee meeting following the regular council meeting. CHANGE RATIFIED Then the city fathers reverted 6 council and 'ratified ie! change. The change became neon when a petition opposing the. sidewalks was filed with City Clerk Roy Barrand Mon- day afternoon, the official dead- line, Reason as given at a down- town property owners' meeting last Thursday night: full side- walk costs, estimated at $86,000, were to be levied against own- ers. New sidewalk policy, adopted by the city just last February, says petitioned-for sidewalks and reconstructed sidewalks will be constructed under Sec. 12 of the act and the owners will be assessed the entire cost. Where new sidewalks are built for "purposes. of traffic," costs are to be levied on a 50-50 basis and the work undertaken) under. provisions of Sec. 8. There was some doubt raised last night as to whether the city has a definitive policy for reconstructed sidewalks con- structed under Sec. 8.) 55 SIGN PETITION Thirty-seven of the 55 down- town property owners have signed the petition, reported City Engineer Fred Crome. Sec, 13 of the act says a peti- tion representing a majority of thefof intention to'apply for OMB to be specialy assessed, pre- vents a council from doing the work on the initiative plan "for a period of two years after the presentation of the petition." With the engineering report unchanged (just put forward under a new section of the act), costs are still to be levied 100 per cent against the owners. However, Mayor Lyman Gif- ford said last night the ratio of cost apportionment. is "s til]! negotiable,"' While right-of petition to op- pose work undertaken on the initiative plan is recognized in Sec. 12 of the act, owners do NOT have a right of petition under Sec. 8. TWO PUBLICATIONS Under Sec. 8, only Ontario Municipal Board approval is needed and city. council's notice! approval must be published "once a week for two weeks." However, Subsection Three of . 8 says, '"'any owner may, within 21 .days after the first publication of such notice, -file with the Board objection to the work being undertaken." In that case, a board hear- ing would be called and the board would arbitrarily set the cost-sharing ratio. Said one alderman last night in committee: "'Let's take the tracks up, put asphalt down and to hell with it." Added another: "The own- ers are short - sighted. They are always screaming for im- provements .but when the im- provements cost money, they don't want any part of it. "They say 'let the pedestrians they walk on it.' But when they| are asked to contribute money jto enlarge parking facilities they say THEIR customers are paying for parking by using the meters. You can't have it both ways." CITY PAYING $180,000 Pointed out a third alder- man: 'Some people think the work is being done under Sec. 8 so allows for an objection, | cost of the new lights, the city is paying $180,000 of the $486,000 for downtown improvements. "The province is paying $160,- 000 while owners are contribut- ing $146,000." On costs per lineal foot of sidewalk per year, Mr. Crome told council the Bond street (done last year) rate is $3.20) while King street is estimated at $3.90. ('I don't blame him,"| said one alderman). "We hope the bids are low- er,"' said Mr, Crome. He at- tributed part of the estimated increase to alowances for extra difficulties a contractor will be faced with in laying sidewalks on King street. OBJECTION FILED Downtown property owners have also filed an objection against the new pavement. This which could result in a hear- ing. However, this objection was filed after the 21-day deadline. Owners are objecting to grants being deducted from the city's share rather than the total cost. According to city officials, Ontario Department of High- ways grants and the Canadian National Railways payment ($16,000 for lifting the rails and repairing the roadbed) will be used to defray the city's share of the expenses. The city is paying for 28 feet of pavement; abutting owners, on both sides, are paying for seven feet of the 42-foot wide road. | At last Thursday's meeting, Russell D. Humphreys, QC, pay for the:sidewalk because|¥ho 'represents the property owners' group, quoted Sec. 21 of| |the Local Improvement Act which says, "where a munici- pality receives a contribution in cash 'to be applied toward the cost of any work, the amount of the contribution shall be de- ducted from the TOTAL cost." | Mr. Crome replied that the! ulates that subsidies will apply| city is paying nothing for those improvements.

Council will apply to On- tario's Chief Electoral Officer for permission to use the pro- vincial voter's list (expected some time this fall) in a liquor vote. The vote was 8 to 3, with Al- dermen Hayward Murdoch, Norman Down and John Dyer opposed. Ald. Gordon Attersley was absent. Mayor Lyman Gifford empha- sized that the motion carried no hint of the time the vote might be held or what ques- tions might appear on a bal- lot. Ald. Walter Branch, mover of the motion, described the move as "economic", and "giving the voter his democratic right to express his views on further outlets," Stressed Ald. Branch: 'We can save the taxpayer several thousand dollars this way.

Speaking on his committee's report, traffic vice-chairman Gordon Attersley warned that a Parking Authority "would have the right to debenture for off- street parking." He reminded council that 'the method we now follow (buying enue) is the most economical. A parking authority means a manager and he has to be paid a salary"'. NO DEBTS Ald. Attersley said no debts had been run up by council "up to now' and 391 spaces on eight lots have been developed since 1953.

"But the travelling was wear- ing me out," he gaid, "so I went to Ottawa and skated for the Minto Skating Club there for three years," Then he changed coaches and went to New York City where he trained for three winters.
