The most important matter to be conside~ed by the Munici~al Council
early in 1969 wiS_l be the provincial Covermnentt s proposal to establish a regional
govermnent for the Niagara region vhich embraces the present Counties of Lincoln
and Wel~,~. In an address to the Legislature of Ontario given on Eecember
1968, the Honouxable W. DarcF McEeougn, Minister of M~Auicipal Affairs, stated
that his Eepartmeut had finished a study of the cc~lmehensive Local Government
Review Report prel~red by a C~mnissic~ headed by Professor H. B. Ms~o over two
~ears ago and is n~ preparing a concrete proposal to present to the represen-
tatives of the l~Anicipalities in the area. It was also stated that the presen-
tation would be made in January and legislation creatix~ regional government for
the area ~lll be introduced a-~luE the course of the prasent session Of the
I~gislature. Since the address ~as made, members of Council have received
tations to atten~ a meeting at the TcNn Hall in the To~n of Niagara on Thurs-
day evening, ~anuary ~3rd, 1~9, at 8 pa. for the ]~lrpose of hearing the Min-
istetra proposals for regional Eove=~ent for the Niagara area.
The Minister~s statement is not expected to 8~swer all the questions.
He has stated that "A First Proposal" on Niagara Eegional Government is to be
presented to the municipalities involved. The Minister has alread~ indicated
that c_~m~ents and observations will he invited, that revisions can be expected#
before legislation is introduced at Q~eens s Park s~netime durix~ the current
sessions
We all eagerly await the Ministerx s draft proposal~ We ell can expect
to study and perhaps re-study ~--y parts of the initial draft. We will all
bear pros and cons on manF individual aspects ~efore a final plan or a~ion is
taken. ~t is important that we gear cureelves for every eventuallty before the
matter is finalized,
I pledge m~self to the necessary leadership that will encourage a com-
plete re-assessment of the entire area involved as an essential prere~Aisite to
re,ions1 government. This step has heen adequately stressed ~y the folmer
Minister of Municipal Affairs, Mr. ~poo~er, as the top priority item. There is
no doubt that a form of regional government can only he e~uitable to all when an
equalized assessment base has been put into effect and not before. There is
also no ~uestion that Niagara Falls~ the Worlds 2 hast knovn address~ must retain
it8 identity regardless of the shape or fore of re6icnal gove,-~ment.
I knc~ that I speak for every ~m~er of Council when Z sa7 that the
citizens of Niagara Falls will have their every interest protected and defended~
if necessary~ durin~ the deliberations that must cc~e with the advent of the
regi_~ geverm~nt proposal. We will act in the ~est interest of our Munici-
lality at all t~zes and in every respect,
As Niagara Falls moves into this new area, it is n~ hope and desire that

While we move to the new, we must not wholly discard the old. We must at
all t~s acquire the benefits of the new while retainin~ the tangible assets of
t~e old, the !~xst we are all proud of.
It is with thi~ view in mind that I would reconnend to the 1969-70 City
Council that every effort be made to 6aJ~ Provincial approval for the use of the
present City Hall as a Reglstrar's Office. As the County's largest municipality,
and with over one-third the County population either in the City or its environs,
this would be a valuable asset to our ccm~,mity as well as being of direct benefit
to those professional and business People requiring registry office facilities on
a virtually daily basis.
Completion of the new City Hall this s-m~er will make this building avail-
able for registr~ pux~Poses, where I am sure a City of this size warrants such a
facility in its day-to-day business'operations. I am of the opinion that repre-
sentations ought to be made to the pro~er authorities at Queen' s Park with all due
haste ·
The new City Hell will also free the former Township Hall on Ferry Street
and I would suggest that Council consider this structure as the new hc~e of the
~historical society. This stately building has served the former Township of Stem~'
ford and the merged City of Niagara Falls well over the years. It is ~n hiStor-
ical possession and we would do well to consider its continued use under the
auspices of the Niagara Falls Historical Society.
It is m~ sincere hope and desire that the newly-inauO-Areted City Council
will consider the disposition of these buildings - the present City Hall and the
Stmm~ord Hall - as soon as possible.
An item of top priority as ~e c~mence these two important years ~fore us
is the outcame of Dorchester Manor, the 90 bed Sunset Haven Rest Hune for which a
site has been acquired and is being serviced, on Dorchester Road on the former
Stokes property.
The Provincial Government has indicated this pro~ect is being sidelined,
along with man~ others in the Province, due to budgetary matters. We desperately
require this facility and should spare no effor~ in our attempts to have this
undex~aking realized at the earliest possibll time. Although the construction
pllns for Dorchester Manor have been shelved by the provincial Government, for the
time being, it is of the utmost importance that we attempt to revitalize the
Government's think!~8 on this matter and, hopefully, ~ain the necessary concession
for an early start.
To many, dealing with GOvernmental authorities is oft-times an odds-against
question. However, this City's negotiations with Queen's Park have proven to be
fruitful on mar~ occasions and senior Governmental Officials are very often at
least receptive to our submissions. This was proven in the matter of the grant in
lieu of taxes on the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge.
Niagara Falls will be receivln~ an annual grant of $36,000.00 this year,
~ in lieu of taxes on the lower bridge. This compares with the $32,000.00 paid
annuallF until these pa3-ments were suspended by the Government of Ontario in 196~.
This City Council dealt directly with Provincial authorities in negotiating what
~ otherwise had bec~ne a lost issue. Last year, the ~mpasse was broken when Queen' s
. Park acceded to our requests and stipulated a new grant of $36,000.00 a year,
star~in6 in 1969 and to run through until 1980. A lump sum amount of $1~,000.00
was paid to the City to compensate for the suspension of the former ~rent for the
years 196~-~-6 and 7. These funds, of coUrse, are measured favouxab/~ when applied
. to the City~s financial structure.

It is my belief that there is a happy n~dium - one that recognizes
effectiveness without sacrificing eff.i. cien~y, one that enhances our progress
and develol~nent without the sti~m- of. extravagance or waste. I cannot stress
too highly the requisite for careful scrutiny of ~11. accounts in every City
Pepanent, the need for budget-mindedness at all times, the requirement that
the general public ~eceive maxim~n value for every dollar slant. I would call
upon all civic Boards, Ca~missions and Departments to take this view, and par-
ticularly in these crucial years ahead of us when every expenditure must be
wholly Justified to th? citizens at large while we strive toward the goal of pro-
grossire growth and development.
Our City must not suffer in the process. Our future must not be confined
or limited. Our citizens cannot bear the brunt of every expenditure that would
~..k,:, for ideal situations or ~erfect conditions. We must be careful to do those
things that must be done, to the extent that is feasible for the time being and,
at all t~mee, having regard to the ability of the p~blic to absorb the costs
involved. These guidelines are a prerequisite to the fulfilling of our task as
elected representatives and public servants.
I would ask Council to deal with 1969 budgetary items on a priority
basis, bearing in mind the implications of each item and any other consequences.
whether from the standpoint of action or inaction. I would ask all Del~rtment
Heads to eu~mit their estimates on this basis, token'her with secondary liAtings
and alternate proposals, wherever these are possible or necessary. - I would ask
all I~r~iea concerned to refer to the guidelines of careful budgetting on a
priority basis.
Thusly, we will all function as an integral unit serving the public at
large, acquiring and effecting those things which we must do and can afford to
do. I know that everyone concerned will support this view and fulfill its intent
to the best of their ability.
The welfare of our City and the individual welfare of Our citizens are
s~nonymous. I know they will be treated and respected in that vein.
Ladies and ~entlemen, the 1969-70 City Council has its work cut out for
it. There is much to ~e done as ~e enter this new era of achievement and
accomplishment, while setting our sights still further toward the new horizons
of the future, the vision for a better Niagare.
Vrban renewal tops the list. ~t ma~ be n~ber one for some t~um to come.
Following not too far behind are the ramifications of Regional Government, where
we must protect the City~s interests at all cost.
We have reviewed here today man~ individual item -- our new City HallJ
a new Police buildln~; coml~lation of the l~mtcil~l Service Cents; the need
to e~end or b~ld a new m~ Bb~; o~ needs ~ tern of ~blic ~d private
ho~i~8 ~velo~ents for f. mi~ liv~ ~d o~ honored senior citizens. We ~ve
foc~ed attention on o~ new lnd~trial ~k ~d the potential it holds.
The need to negotiate with Provincial authorities for the erection of
Dorchester Manor. I have offered suggestions re~arding the disposition of
the present City Hall and the Stamford Hall. Z have spoken on the Niagara Free-
wa~, the ~oulevard Parking l~y-law, the widening and improvement of Stanley
Avenue, We have locked at the projected develol~nent of the Ontario Housix~ Cor-
poration property, the City millrate's influences and factors,
There are m=,y more items that c~nnOt be covered here to-day in an~
great detail. Among them are our recreational needs for all age categories,
our park ra~ui~ements for neigh~ourhood areas, the Clty's housing needs in
genex~l, a concerted industrial program to explore new w~vs to attract industr~
within the ~mits l~rmitted by law.
Fort,,n_ntely, there are civic groups within the fr~w~work of Council
workin~ on _.m~_.~y of these matters, which rel~rt directly to Council.
- The City Recreation C--.4sston has en~aged a f.~-time reereational
director and is now conductIn6 studies into improved end expanded ~rot~ for

Dorchester Manor Hc~e for the Aged, Dorchester ltoad.
It was Ordered on the motion of Ald. Wilson, seconded by Ald. M~xtin that
Ray. M. M. Mandich of Southminster Centennial ~nited Church be granted permission
to address Council.
~ev. Mandich outlined the work carried out by the Rachel Unit of his Church in
assisting people in rest homes, and the evident need for additional facilities fox'
the elderl~r which had been aggravated by the closin~ of one rest home and the
possible closing of two other h~mme. He spoke of their disap~ointment in the
failure of the Government to approve funds necessex7 to allow construction of
the proposed 90 bed Dorchester Manor Rest Hc~e; and solicited Council' s suppert
of a resolution advocating that Mr. Yaremko of the Delmrtment of Social Services
he a~proacl~ toteke the necessary steps to have construction Of the Home on
Dorchester Road started ~mm~dietely to provide shelter and securitF for elderly
persons awaiting a~m4ttance to such h~nes. He listed nine area organizations
who had si~n~£ied their endersation Of the resolution, and in addition, the res-
olution would he circ-l-ted with the hope of adding to it the signatures of
scme 7,000 citizens. Hey. Mandich advised they ware aware of a brief prepared
and submitted hF the Social Planning Council on the matter, hut it was felt that
in view of the negative tYl~ of reply received from the Del~_r+x~-ut that a fur-
ther resolution frun private citizens would ~ear more weight. It was emphas-
ized that at the present time there were 1~ I~rscus waiting admission to
Sunset Haven, Welland County Home for the Aged. Hey. Mandich stated it was
his opinion that there was a lack of liaison between the Department of Social
P~"""~,Z and the Detertruant of Health. The following items ware included
in the discussion which took place on this matter: Le6islation recently passed
and the standax~ which local rest homes must ccmply with if they wished to
remain open; pro~x~m~s sponsored by the Sunset Haven C;-;--~ttee relating to

Alderman t4cCallum referred to the draft zonin~ by-law and aniSested
that the by-law should be approved as is or as amended before the establish-
ment of the enlarged City
many neetir~ had been held and every attempt is ~.~inS n~de to complete the
studios in the month of April and prepare the by-law as recommended by the
Planning Board and adjusted by staff. The by-law will than be given to
Council for study and, if acceptable, will then be fox~ardod to the Ontario
Nunicipal Board.
Alderman Scares commenced that although the City Coueoil bed not
endorsed the resolution of the City of Sarnia in respect to ~he mmicipal
assessment function, Council members were not in complete disagreement with
it. It was moved on the mellon of Alderran Boarag, seconded by Alderman
Hartin tbet the City prepare its own resolution incorporating the commute
cantaimed in the City HansBetas report, namely, tbet the funcr. ion of
assessment be · responsibility of the proposed regional gaymoment and that
the Province pass appropriate resolutions which x~ill, in fact, result in
uniformity of assessment,
LIC~qCING
Alderman Boaras suggested that because of the considerable discussion
which had taken place in regard to t~o applications for a HaMberg and Fedlet
liceace, consideration should be given to revising Councll*e policy in
rafusin8 such liceaces. 8ha said chat the original intent was to control the
activities of door-to-door malesan and to protect existing business and the
householders. Aldermen hates considered that both applications had merit
and such applications should perhaps be Judied on their merit end possibili-
ties. The City Clerk expressed the opinion that the licmc~ legislation of
the City was hopelessly out o~ data and required a complete review, b
that soma large mnicipalities had consolidated their licensing by-laws
updated them, !is cautioned that although applicants for Bidarm and Fedtars
licenoes ware obligated to pay m licerico fee, existing business ms paying
both property tax and business tax. b City Clerk recommended that upon tim
establishment of 14errs Niagara, the entire licensing legislation of the City
and the municipalities Co be incorporated in the eularS¶d City, be thoroughly
studied and revised,

Nis Worship Nayor Hallet introduced the representatives of the groups con-
cerned end ~elcomad them on behalf of the umbers of Council,
Cos. 113 - Hrs. C. Hailer - gel Proposed site for Senior Citizen Units.
It yes agreed Chat the commmiontion be received and deferred for considera-
tion following the discussions.
l.h'. Sidney Keys,representing the Ontario Housing Corporation, advised theC
all proposals received for the construction of the senior citizen units had
been thoroughly reviewed and the Plcaning Department, Federal agencies and
other authorities consulted; that the Outsrio Housing Corporation reconuended
the acceptance of the proposal received from Sunnylea Construction, St.
Catherines, for the construction of 86 units on the east side of Allthanus
Avenue betweenMcLeod Road and Dmm 8treat; that the plan was the meet
suitable in respect to site, dealSwend price.
q. o ~mt is the esimated construction time?
A, - There ·re ~o buildings - first portion could be started by Antuse let,
~mt was the cost of the units in the Carnal area?
The Sarnia prices have no bearing on the pr~osal for Niagara Fails,
Those ore two different municipalities and two different labour
situations.
If proposal is accepted today, he~ Ions will it Cake for completion?
It is anticipated that construction could begin Antuse 1st and the
first baildins completed in 4 to 6 unths end Che second building
completed two months later; total completion 8 months.
Ae
· mt are the factors that 8oven the choice of locationT
Froximity to transportation, churches and shopping district is
considered, There ere many factors the least of which is not cost.

Ae
Should Council reject this proposal what delay would it represent
before a similar tmderCakin8 would become a reality?
Re ~ould have co go beck to the Board o I dontt ~now what the Boardes
decision wouId be - they would probably require a re-submiscion of
proposal calls. It is possible thee the mtuicipalicy would have to
acquire land. There would be a delay of aC least six months.
It has been indicated that this is not the verse site - would you
indicate which sites were s~rse.
The HcLeod Road site. The houses on the north side are of an
unacceptable anc,,~e; the road will be videned to fo~r lanes conuectin~
with the Quo. en Elizabeth lliStu~ay end it is anticipated r. het the north
side will go cen~.arcial.
Q. - What is the preference of the occupants as to the height of the buildin~s~
A. - That is a difficult question to answer because ic depends on where the
people have been living, A 3-storey buildin~ in a small to~n would
be considered high; a 20oattrey building in Toronto wou'.d noc be
considered high. Senior citizens prefer to be on the ground level;the
next choice would he a 2oattrey building. They don~t like using
elevators.
mere on the si~e would the buildings be erected?
Approximately half woy between Dunn Street and HcLeod Road. The con-
tractor has advised that this is flexible and the buildants could be
located either way in order Co create · Zreater buffer to the proposed
thru~ay. T~e plan is subject to revision and modification.
q. - ~;ould there be additional costs due to alterations?
A. - No. The revisions are minor.

work tables, card cables, etc.
Q, The closest transportation is either ou l~Leod Road or at the corner
of Orchard end Duen Streets -would it be possible to put a bus route
on chit 8tzeet~
A. (Hayor Miller) The Transit Commission are prepared to establish a bus
route at any location at the direction of CounciI ~cr a trial period;
there would have to be sufficient demand in order ~or it to continue.
In whet way is the Allenthus Avenue site superior to the site on the
north side of Cherrywood Road'r
There is us comparison in the sites intofar as value is concerned;

City representative.
It was moved by Alderman Bearss, seconded by Alderman Wilson that the City
NasaSet prepare a report enumeratin~ the conventions and conferences durin~
the year and signifying the appointed delegate in each instance.
HOUSING
Aldermen McCallum commented on the fact that during the special
meeting with representatives o£ the Ontario Housing Corporation, neither the
representatives o5 the Niagara Falls Housing Authority nor members of the
Nayor*s Committee on Housing were able to state in what areas the senior
citizens were presently located or their preference as to future housing units.
He considered that senior citizens would not want to be moved a great distance
from their present location as it would necessitate a change in their
recreational acCivitims such as attending church and the related sottat
functions. In future applications for additional housinl~, consideration should
be given to locating the units in several blocks rather than having one large
group of housin~ units.
(I~DERKD on the motion of Alderman ~cCallum, seconded by Alderman Wilson that a
report be prepared as to the present location of those people who require
"geared-Co-income" accommodatioa; that the Nayor~s Committee on Housing bring
in a recommendation as to the feasibility of housing units being located in
several areas; that a further application be forwarded to the Ontario Rousing
Corporation for an ~mmediate survey on the need for additional senior citizen
units and ~hat such application specify the areas considered by Council to be
the most suitable.

Commerce luncheon at which time the diversion of water ever the Falls to permit

IC was moved by Aldermen NcCallum, seconded by Alderman Grasskemp that a
letter be forwarded to appropriate authorities requesting that more water bn
occasionally allowed to go over the Falls in order that the unsightly litter
and debris will be flushed away; further, that the problem be brought to the
attention of the Nayor of Niagara Falls, N,Y,, the Premier of Ontario and the
Governor of New York State.

Alderman MoCallum noted ChaC the City Engineer had on several

sidered Chat this could also be true at provincial and municipal levels. He
~n~oeued Onuuotl that he had received complaints from citizens which indicate
the possibilit~o~eorrupCion in the munioipality. It is his intention Co'

AND A/X)PT~D,
Council Cham~er,
June 6th, 1969.
A Special Meetin~ of Council was hel~, on Frid~, june 6th, 19~ to deal
with several nmtters. All ~m~ers of C.~uncil were present. His Worship Mayor
F. J. Mill_~r presided-
At 4:00 p.m. Members of Council proceeded frcm the City Hall to Walker
Brothers ~uarries to ex~!ne ~uarryi~ o~eraticms and, in particular, methods
of backfillix~ used by that firm. Follo~_Ang this inspection, Council Members
returned to the City Hall.
At 7:30 p.m. a aoint meeting was hel~t with the Councils of the Village of
Chlplmwa and the Township of WIlloUghby. Representatives in attendance ware:
Reeve E. T. Weightman, Deputy-Reeve D. ~nu, Councillors C. Somerville and
J. C~rtier - Village of Chippaws.
Reeve H. Wlllick, DepAty-Reeve H. I~AStI~., Councillor W. D. C~.m~ers - Township
of Willoughby.
Mr. W. Do ~oc~-Zs of the firm of Proctor & Redfern was also present at the
meeting.
His Worship Mayor Miller explained t~xt the meeting had been called for the
porl~se of discunsin~ a sewage system for the enlarged City.
D~ring the meeting, it was explained that the Ontario Water Resources Cc~-
mission had requested the Village of Chippaws to m~ke extensions to their
sewage treatment plant, however it had s~emed unwise to l~t a Sum of money into
the Chippews p~.nt with the full hailedge it must be taken cut of operation in
8 to 10 ~ears, particularly when the City was proceedt~Z with a system which
could handle the ~hola area. Mr. ~Codings explained that the Ontario Water
Resources C~s.{ssion had~greed to the sunpension of work on the Chippaws plant
expansion, on condition that the Village proceed in conjunction with the City to
have a regional report pretzred dealin~ with the connection of the Village ser-
vice area to the Niagara Falls system.
The City Engineer, Mr. C. H. Eldt, provided a comprehensive explanation of
the City's propas~l for s system of trunk sewers and lmmpi~g facilities to trans-
mit sewer effluent from the south part of the City to the pollution control
plant on Stanle~ Avenue. He explained there,ere sufficient lands at the plant
to provide primary and secondary treatment for the entire regional area. BF
means of several lar~e maps he pointed out that the area under consideration
included all of the City of Niagara Falls, all of the Village of Chiplzwa, all
of the Township of Wiliou~hby and the easterly half of Cr~land Township, and in
aaa~tion, econcs~c as:vice could be provided to a section of Thorold Township
and Thorold Tc~n. Mr. Eidt explained that the City had given a c~.,.ltment
to O~W.R.C. that the system to service the southerly end of the City would he
in operation in 1971. A system to service the westerly pert of the City was
planned for the future.
Xn answer to a ~uestion from Reeve Weight.~- concex~ing the original
"t,~l" c~cept as conpared to the force main system, the City Engineer ex-
plained that in wo~kin~ out the actual costs after detexminln2 tbe soil con-
ditiO~s, the costs of the tunnel ashsee ~ere much ~reater then the costs of a
l. xmpin~ system with force mains. However, after a period of 31 years the costs
would be e~ual. After that t~me the t--~l would be cheaper over all, provided
that lx~er costs maintain their present level. ~be O.W.R.C. however, had
advised thsy could nc~ austifF deficit financin~ beyc~d a 20 ~ear l~ried.
The City ~neer explained to Reeve Wlllick that if a studF was goin~ to
be undert-~-~_, the Whole area Which could be serviced by a pumpin~ station
should be considered. Xn answer to ~uesti~frcm Co~ncillor Chambers, Mr.
Eidt stated that-services' for WlXlo~by T~nship ~ould no~ be available until
the end of 19~1. He also provided an explanation on the map of possible loc~-
tion and exten~ of facilities for the Toquehip,
The ~uestion Of the financial x%spc~sibility and allocation of e~uity
ix~ respect to the Chippaws sewaSs plant was discussed. His Worship M~r B~l/ex'
felt this was a ~uestion which oca~ld be directed to the Wonouxeble Eerc~ Mcl~
at. ~e special mee~in~ on ~ealoml 6~vex~men~ to he held on june llth,
The .Cit~ ,~."e,r' state'd it' 'was hopes .~0 place the force main on the '
new b~idge pr~l~Ose~ across the Welland River;
Councillor Mann subSsated that regional govermaent might not accept such
a stud~. He also asked if there were not areas in the present CitT which should
be sewsred prior to exlamslon olsewhare. The City _m~_51~m~er advised
that there was vex7 little land left in the present City that could be readily
serviced economically, and it would be less costly for the new City to develop
in a southerly dArestim. He ex~ssad' several re. sons why tm felt 'the a~gges-
ted stud~, estimated to cost $~,000.00, was warranted; and stated it would
assist in the maintaining of the 6cod relationship the City ha~ .~ith O.W.R.C.
At the conclusion of the discussice, His Worship Mayor Miller requested
that Reeve Wei6htman and Reeve Wlllick discuss the matter with their respective
Councils and secure their reaction on the advisability of undert-~4na the stud~
in ~mstion. He advised that all information and data in co-e-orion with the
matter, in the Clty's files, would be made available to the municipalities for
their assistance.
It was Ordered on the motion of Ald. Mar~in, seconded by Ald. Wilson that
the mae~ln6 adjourn.

Bill 174 - Re~ional HunicipalitY of Niagara
Alderman Cheesmn referred co the forthcomin~ implemntaCion of
Regional Government and said chac despite mch criticism, some reserva-
tions and may complaints, Bill 17~ will become taw as of January let,1970.
Zhe time has no~ come for a willing acceptance of it by everyone if the
Niagara Regional Government is to be successful. ~e Aldermen Save several
reasons why regional government should be accepted, namely, teatonal
governmaC will simply mke a legal reality of an ~existing cnaditton; the
Minister of Municipal A~fairs was requested to study the rngionalizing of
the Niagara region; the elimination of outmoded, paralyzed mnicipal
government machinery and the opportunity co make decisions which will
improve the region; municipal governmat will be strengthened; orderly
development will take place soutt~ards at less cost. Alderman Chessmen
said chat the administration of regional government will requite mn and
women who kno~ the Niagara Region and believe in it and believe in the
concept of a regional municipality and who will reproverio not only their
'local councils and people but also the interests of the coral regional
municipality- Alderran Chessran said that the attitude of the Hayors and
Reeves, Alderran and Councillors should be positive and constructive, an
attitude which ~ould ensure the success of the new venture.
Hayor Miller reiterated his opinion Chet the implementation of
regional government should not cake place so soo~; that Council should
have been permitted Co finish Choir 1970 term. He said theC Chc munici-
pality yes being forced into an election and a delay of another year would
have provided the opportunity co benefit from the experiences of the
Carlcon-O~Cawa region.
Alderman GraaskanV commnded Aldermn Chessman on his presentationv
but expressed the fear thaC the accent will be on the City of St.Catharines
and other municipalities will face a great deal of competition.

newly-planted trees by the removal of the bark. This was especially true
at Kmr Park where City crews had discovered that all but two of thirty
trees had been stripped of bark. The Aldermen appealed to parents end
teachers to scrams the importance of mintaiming the beauty of the parks.
He also mentioned the lack of playSround equipment in some areas and
sagSmated that perhaps soma local clubs or organizations would be willin~
to supply additional equipment.

the staff members who had Seven up a Saturday in order to conduct the tour

SUnlay Avenues to a two-way system. He voiced his objections to the
method used to alter the mellon to include a request for sn estimate of
the total costs of reverting the traffic system. The Alderman pointed out
that Rule 27 of the Rules of Procedure provides that a motion amy be
re-initiated by those members who ~ere in fayour of the original pruposal.
He considered that the action was a deliberate attempt to interfere with

LOZ~ERIt~I
Alderan Beeroe noted that the loitering problem in the City had
coma before the Police Commission. She interpreted the newspaper story as
holding the City Council responsible for members of the Police Department
being powerless to control the situation because o~ the lack of n proper
by-law. She suggested that the City NanaBet end the City Solicitor should
be directed to proceed with the preparation o~ a by-law if it would be
helpful. The City Clerk advised that a municipal by-law had been enaoted
in the year 190~ which pertained to three or more parsons obstructing
traffic and pedestrians. He pointed out that any municipalities ere faced
with the same problem and that he will obtain a copy of a by-law presently
bain~ considered by the City of Sault Ste.Harie. He said also that a by-law
cannot be passed without specific authority under the rlunicipal Act, Alderman
Bearas said that it was unfortunate Chat it was 8o difficult Co prove in the
courts that individuals are, in fact, loitering and not in a specific area
~or legitimate reasons.

p.m. All Hembets of Council were present wish the exception of Aldermen
theesmart, Hartin and Wilson. Ris Worshlpl~yor F. J. Nillet presided.

His Worship Hayor Miller explained that the special Metinn had
heea called to provide an opportunity for the members o~ Council to receive
and study a functional report on road crossings over the H.g.P,C.Cansl as
prepared by H.G.Acree &Ca.Ltd. Acres had been engaged in 1969 to undertake
the study and to report on the best mesas of solving traffic problems in
that area of the City whore two brid~es cross the canal and the brlclae which
is synod by the Canadian ~tional Railway and crosses over railway tracks a~
PortaSS Road. A 1963 Traffic Stud~ prepared by Acres hod recomaended that
Norrison Street should be extended westerly over a new structure crossln~
the canal and located bemoan the D~u~mond Road and Portage Road crossings.
Mr. HacKay reviewed the 1963 Traffic Study which indicated that
Norrison Street should be extended westerly from its present intersection
with Portage goad to the future industrial area west of the Q.B.~/.,crosstng
the H.B.P.C.eanal on a nov structure to be located between the Drummond and
Portage Road crossings. It was also recommended that Dr-mmond Road and
PertuBe goad be widened to carry four lanes of traffic, At the time of the
study it hod not been considered important that grade separation should be
provided on Dr,**_ewuond Road, Nr. Y~cKay noted one change that hod taken place
since the study, unmely, the C,N,R, usage of the Mabash line has increased
partially due to the policy of brinning traffic from Gr*;msby to Fort grie
through to Niagara Falls. There is a possibility of further increases in
rail traffic of the Penn Central Railway depending on the outcome of the
DeLeuv Cather study. He said that railway grade separations should be
considered carefully. In commenting on the condition oE the existing
railway crossing at FortsBe Road, Y~, HasKay considered Chat this was s
railway problem.
It was explained that the purpose of the study was to determine
an efficient road network; what structures would be needed; the function of
Harrison Street; connections to the dc~ntov:n area and the westerly develop-
mona of the City. Traffic counts hod been undertaken and a tabled chart
indicated the 1969 traffic volume projected to 1981,
Mr. HacKay Mid Chot DruamondRoad and FortngeRoad are existing
essential north-south arteries which must retain Choir present aliensent
and widened Co four lanes, h only feasible location ~or the proposed
westerly extension of Norrieon Street is between Burdotes Drive end the
~rincess glianbeCh School between which there is 1200 Co 1300 feet. ~o
significant thenee in alienmat would be necessary. Consideration had been
given to the poosibilLty of eliminating one of the north-south steerisle
but this would result in serious overloading of the ocher. It is also felt
thee one-wRy schemes would adversely affect existing businesses and property,
Any efteWe co divert ell leach bound traffic across the canal at one point
would be expensive for the City; ep~roeohvorkand property acquisition
would be very costly and the City would bear the largest portion of the coot,
Hr, HacKsy stressed dmt three structures ere required. It is recomsended
that · six-taut arch bridge be provided me Norrison Street and nov four-
lane controls brid2eo at Drummond R~ed snd ForteSoRoad,
The Portage Road crossing over the C,N.R, tracks is in very poor
condition end sheold be taken Out Of leftice so scoff as possible and
replaced by s fo~r-teue holtiCy. A 8rede separation may be required within
10 years at the Drummed dead railway Oralsins end this possibility sheuld
he toylaved vhgn tfagfiavelumeeverrant widening the road tar our lanes,
'2-
It is recommended that Drummond Road be widened to fo~r lanes in
1973 and Portage Road in 1975.
In orde~ co tie in with the Cityso plan for the extension of
Norrison Street, the caw arch structure at Morrison Street should be tmder-
taken in 1971-1972. It is the tityes intention to complete this section
by 1972 and both undertakings should be completed simultaneously. It is
considered that the worst bottleneck exists at the Druc~nond Road brid~e
which is -. a low 2reds sCr~ctura and not considered v~ry safe. In addition
there is only 20 feet between curbs. It ia recommended that the first step
will be the constru~.~ion of two lanes utiltzin8 the existin~ structure to
avoid interfering with traffic. Consideration was also given to rbtainin~ the
existin~ bridSea but it was pointed out that these facilities are super-
structures and require constant maintenance. It is understood that the
Ontario Hydra is not willinS ta continue this maintenance.
The total estimated cost for completion of the recmmendations
contained in the report is $3,095,000. A breakdam1 of the costs is shown
as Appendix "A' and includes 14orrison Street extension, PercaSe Road inter-
section, Norrison Street canal crossing, DX~,mm~ud Road and Portage Road
canal brid~es and the Drummond and Portage bad railway grade separations.
Construction costs of the three canal structures and the extension
of Norrison Street to Drummond Road includinB all ancillary ~ork, but
excluding property acquisition costs is estimated at $2,195,000 of Mhich
the City*s share would be ~330,000, Total costs for ~he two railway grade
separations are estimated at $900,000, the tityes share to be established
by negotiation. Mr. HatKay noted that there is no agreemat with the
H,EePoCo in regard to the Morrison Street crossin~ at this time although
there have been discussions and correspondence. The study sueSeats a cost
sharin~ arrnnaement between the City of Niagara Falls, the Department of
Sighways of Ontario, the Ontario Hydra and the utility companies. Appendix
aS" of the report outlines a tentative cost-sharin2 arrangeneat.
_DISCUSSION "
Q. - ~hy is it considered necessary to retain the crossin~ ever the canal
at Dr, mw~udRoad? Is there anyway that they could be combined and one
canal crossing provided?
A. - This auSSestiou was considered end it might have been possible ~ere it
not for the recent develepmant of the Pettit subdivision. vf the area
had remained open land it would have been worth consideration.
Q. - Is there a tunisround indicated at the end of the old Norrison Street?
A. - Yes, 14artisan Street was never intended to be a through road buC
traffic 2roaCh has forced it to be so. There is not sufficient room to
construct six lanes without acquirin~ some property.
Q. - Was consideration Siren to the construction of two bridges rather than
three - the elimination of one bridKe and the construction of s six-
lane facility could possibly resolve the traffic probleat Stamford
Centre.
A. - The required intersection would cost wore than two bridems and the
municipalityes share of the costs would be wore. 14r. MacKay also pointed
out that the City*s share of the cmt of um structures is less then
~lO0,O00. In roplyi~ to a remmrk that the one-way sections of
Drummond and Pareses Roads cries-cross end the proposed four lanes will
warsen the traffic conditions at Stamford Centre, Hr. HasKay said that
the Stamford Centre erna was outside the terms of reference of the
study, Farther examimation o~ the area north of the immediate study
area would be required.
Representatives of the Department of BiBhways of Ontario had no
comments to make at this time but expressed the wish to have an opportunity
tO study the repc~t.

NE~; BUSINESS
HOURS
Alderman Grasskemp advised that he bed received enquiries ~rom
store e~ployees about the announced intentSun of a local chain store to
remain open on Sundays, The employees are concerned about the possibility
of all store personnel being required to york on Sundays. The Alderman
referred to s by-lay passed by the City in 1921 which dealt with early
closing and was initiated by the merchants them~eB~es. He suBBasted that
the by*law be updated or removed and an ac~verti,,sem.~l,-t placed la the local
newspaper~ and possibly on the radio station, r,~co~;~endi.g ~h~t the shop-
m~ners ~.he~selvoS decide on a new policy xegdtding early clootuS and/or
elegies on Sundays and that the merchants agree to ;bide by the wishes of
three-quarters of their number.
Fayor 14illor cautioned that such a by-la~ would a.~ply to all
stores and wotfi.d hurl the small food store ol~'~r.~tors as well ca t~e tourist
indoetx~,, Aldecmon l'r~or Mid that meny.~?,.~oj'.ise e~tler. s wo,ld a~qo be
s *
selected inasmuch as they sell items other then gasoline products. It was
solested by Aidemen NcCSllum thee · request from the City Council to the
sheen store involved could possibly solve the problem. ~he possibility
of charging storeowners under the Lordee Iky Act was discussed, The City
Clerk pointed out Chat the Act is noc · Provincial Act and can only be
enforced by the Attorney General ~ho had indicated his reluctance to prosecute
under the Act. He noted that municipalities arc authorized to pass an early
closing by-lie buC iC requires the support of a substantial percentage of
the store owners end he doubted if the majority of the merchants would b·
in £avour of closing on Sundays. Alderman Grsaskamp offered s further
en;gesCion that scores with staffs of more then three be required to remain
closed on Sundays. The suggestion eae praepted by his belief Chat most
emil coi~hbourhood stores have fever then three enployens.

and other departments. Hambars of Council were not given the prepared copy
of the report so road crossings over the HoB.F.C. canal until after the verbal
presentation had been made and hs suggested that the report required further
study. During the metin~AldermanRcCallumhad requested that consideration
be given co t~o brid~es over the hydro canal rather then three bridges, as
proposed. He expressed the opinion that a detailed study should have been
mde of this possibility. The Acres representative said that they had con-
sidered it and it appeared to be mrs expensive although the costs had not
been oaleulated. Alderman HaCallun requested Chat City staff study the
possibility of t~o bridges rather than three. Although the proposal might
result in greater intersection costs, the net cost to cbe municipality mould
be substantially lo~er when the subsidies from Hydro and the Department of
!ligheays were taken into consideration. Re also suggested that bemuse of
the 80X subsidy that is available for grade separation on Dr,mm-nd Road, a
six-lane road be considered for Drumend Road rather then Portage Road where

Excer~ from minutes of Thirty-fifth Meeting held July 28th, 1969.
"It was moved on the motion of Alderman Prior, seconded by Alderman Thinson
tha$ the m~nutes of the regn,~a~ meeting held on July 21st, 1969 and the min-
utes of a special meeting held on July 15th, 1969 be adopted as printed.
Aldeman McCall~ stated that during the special meeting of July 15th, 1969,
when a functional report was received from E.G. Acres & Co. Ltd., ca-m~nts
were received from municipal officials and other de~rtanents. Members of
Council were not given the prepared cow of the repor~ on road crossings over
the H~-E.P.C. canal until after the verbal presentation had been made and he
suggested that the repor~ re~eAir~d further study. During the meeting Alder-
men McCall~m had requested that consideration he given to two bridges over
the hydro canal rather than three bridges, as proposed. He expressed the
opinion that a detailed study should have been made of this possibility.
The Acres representative said that they had considered it and it appeared
to be more expensive altho,,~n the costs had not been c~tculated. Alderman
McC~ll~n requested that City staff study the possibility of two bridges
rather than three. Although the proposal might result in greater intersection
costs, the net cost to the municipality would he substantially lower when the
. subsidies from Hydro and the Department of Highways ~ere taken into consider-
atiun. He also suggested that because of the 80~ subsidy that is available
for ~rade separation on I~m..ond Road, a sixolive road he considered for
Drummond Road rather than Portage Road where the subsidy available to the
municipality is not as great. He requesbed that his o~m. ents be included
in the minutes of the special meeting. The mover and the seconder of the
motion agreed to change the motion to read tha$ the m~utes he adopted as
-m-uded. The motion Carrie~."

SET,/~R BY-LAB/
Alderm~n HcKinley referred to the Sewer By-law which states that
homeo~ners must pay e charSe of $3.00 for a se~er call duties normal working
hours and $15.00 Eor callsanswered at niSht, Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.
One homeowner was required Co pay $15.00 recently for e service call and the
blockaSs had occurred 75 feet from her home. The Alderman requested that
the City Solicitor study that portion of the By-law to ascertain if it is
in conflict with the Roman RiShte Code.
PROCEDt~E
Alderman Chessman noted that it is the usual custom of Council to
met in Committee of the Whole following the reSular meeting. When a motion
is passed to "rise and report** on particular items previously considered in
Committee of the ~hole, Council reconvenes in open session. It had come to
his attention that cad. zeus interested in municipal affairs attend Council
mastinns and leave the Chambers at the close of the tabular meetinS not
realizing that, at times, the muetin~ is again open to the public follo~ins
the Committee meeting. As a result there is some con~usion when newspaper
reports include items that did not appear on the a~enda dories the regular
meetinS. Alderman Cheeses- su~ested that this information be made knc~n to
the public and citizens attendin~ the Council meetinS advised that they may
wait for Council to reconvene if they wish. No indication would be 8ivan as
to the matters to be discussed in ComiCtee of the Whole nor would there be
any assurance that Council would, in fact, raceevens in open session.
It was sueSeated by Alderman McKinley that if the CoaniCtee of the
Whole met at 7:00 or 7:15 P.M,end the Seneral Council meetinS at 8 osclock
iC would not be necessary for visitors to wait in the corridor,
The City Manseer pointed out that the facilities in the new City
Hall would be much better and it may be possible for the Council to retire
to a conference room for meetings in Committee and visitors would not be
required to leave the Council Chambers.
STOi~I SEWER PROBv, a4S
Alderman Grasskemp submitted information to Council reSardin~ the
excessive floodin~ which had occurred recently in the taledenSe area of the
City. Re had visited one residence where the water had risen to approximately
one foot and caused an estimated d~mSe of $500.00. He sueSanted that the
problem miSht be alleviated by the installation of control valves on catch
basins which could be shut off during a storm end thereby ~temporarily
"storing" water on the surface. Alderman Grasskemp requested that a report
be prepared to include information as to which areas of the City are
aEfected and if temporary storeBe of storm water is feasible.
In replyinS to Alderman Granekamp~e remarks, the Desinn and Con-
struction BaSinear said that the problem,bnsicially, is due to a combined
sanitary-storm sewer system in m~ny areas of the City. The system is not
capable of headline excessive amounts o~ storm water. Be said that certain
remedial measures could be taken by individual homao~nere, the most economical
of which would be the installation of 8 stop valve in the floor drain of a
dwelling. 1'me most e~fective, and expensive, method would be to install a
valve outside the house which could be operated from the 2round. ~esidents
could also assist in reducinS the amount of finedLaB by ramsvine deanspouts
from the sanitary se~er and directinS the storm water onto the Banand or the
toad as excessive tone water does overload the sanitary sewers. He also
advised that · nationally advertised brand of paper towel does not denim-
testers readily and is instrumenr~l in blockinS the sewer systems. Nr.
Rodman noted that many catch basins in the monicipality ate equipped with
valves which restrict the floe oE water into the maine. He cautioned that
extensive use of control valves to eliminate s~orm ~ater Eros the sewer
system could cause considerable dam~ae to homes in low-lyinS areas and
dmmSe to Ciey streets. The BaSinaerieS Department is presently tnvesti~t-
ins the areas of the Ci~y which are subjected to fioodir~ and the taledenSe
ares is bean8 surveyed. HF. Rodmen seated that the only permanent solution
to the problem would be the ins~allation of separate sanitary and storm
sewer Eacilities. The estimated cost oE this proposal is in excess of
$~0,000,000, as indicated in n lever study previously prescnted.

ICE SKATING FACILITIES
It has come to the attention of Alderman McCallum that an additional
350 boys were hopeful of ~articipating in the 1~69-70 hockey prostates in the
City. He re{erred to the lack of ice skati~ facilities which makes it
necessary for youn3sters to be at the arena before 6:00 a.m. In respect to
natural outdoor rinks Sanerally installed by the City, he suggested a
proSramme of citizen participation whereby individuals would be responsible
for such maintenance as re-flooding the rinks followinS a thaw. Such a
system would make it unnecessary to wait until Ci~y crex~s were able to do
the work.
ORD~I~D on the motion of Alderman McCallum, seconded by Alderman ~cKinley that
the Recreation Commission consider the possibility of responsible citizens
maneSins and maintaining natural outdoor ice sk~tin~ facilities, the rinks to
be established by the City and equipment supplied; further, that consideration
also be Siven to permi~in~ residen~s to reques~ relocation of the rinks ff

ALDBP~N GRAASK~/e
Reading from a prepared statement, Alderman Graaska~ referred to ·
decision of Counoil in October, 1967, to have all applications for building
permits in the area designmead for urban redevelopmane, submitted Co a
committee comprised of the Planning Director, the City ManeSet and the City
Engineer. It was considered that this method of handling the applications would
provide some control over the development in the urban renewal area,especially
if such developments were contrary to the objectives of the urban renewal
scheme. Parkin= requirements were especially emphasized in the plans for the
redevelopmeat of the d~.mtown district. The Alderman strongly opposed the
construction of any building in an area designated for perking purposes as
such developments not only take up needed space they also intersfare with the
plans to rn~ace the rears of hewntown stores and the providing of rear
entrances.
Alderman ersnskamp referred to a Comm~Ctee of the Whole meeting in Farch,
1969, ·t which time Council was apprised o£ the plans of · local law firm to
establish new offices on Huron Street at a location which was designated as a
parking lot under the urban renewal scheme. At the time he did not feel that
an investigation was warranted because ·n application had noC been made for
a building permit and the l~w firm appeared to be merely exploring the
possibilities, The Alderman said Chat he had documents regarding the following
irregularties which had occurred in the issuance of the building permit|
(a) Contrary to City Councilee instructions, a member of the special cmnmittee
advised the law ~irm to proceed with their plans; (b) No further report was
received by Council es to whether the special committeeas efforts to dissuade
the law firm had been successful; (c) ~hen the application for a building
permit was finally made on July 15th,196~, it did not go to the special
cmmittee as had been done previeusly when considering similar applications.
Proposals considered to be compatible to the objectives of the urban renewal
scheme werepro o easel through the special committee but, in this instance, the
usual procedure was not followed because, in the Alder,nan*s opinion, the
deve~opmnt ie contrary to the redevelopmane plans; (d) On Friday morning,
Ansuet 15th,1969, the Alderman was ir~ormed that a building permit had ndt been
issued pending the processing of mechanical dr·wings for · ph, mbinS end sewer
ps~r~t which would probably take several days. The Building Permit was issued
the %'ternann of the came d~y in the absence of ~he Bu:ldinS lnepector2 (e) the
approval for the building permit did noc bear the Building lnepectnr*s
signature, ~he mme~as typewritten on the permit but there was no handwritte~
signature,
/,lderman Grasskemp also expressed concern that responsible firms in ~m
City ;/ill take advantage e~ the downtmm redevelopsat to further their r~n
in~e?esCs, He remarked that the permittin3 of developments in the urban
rdn~l area which ere ceecrary to the objectives o~ the overall plan ie
shee~ i~respcnsiblliCy and, iE ellowed to he repeated, will ~eeult in urban
chaos and further decay. He said that ~hen such chaos is furlhated by City
Officials who ignore or disobey the a~q~licit instructions of Council, their
actions should be subjected to e public inquit~' and such actions ara.an
indication of duplicity. A public inquiry would m-ks it possible to secure
statesants, under oath, as to the facts end to ascertain ~ho had been
and to what extent.
If Council did not take appropriate action, the Alderman said he could
no longer serve the interests of the City and sould consider resi~nin8 until
the next election. Tee Alderman is also prepsrod co fox~ard a mwrn decla~a-
lion to appropriate Provincial Departments to ensure that action is ~aken.
The City SnGineer said that the directions of Council had baen
He had explained the City*s position co the law firm and requested that they
not preened ~rlth their plans. He had also muSSested to them that it
preferable for the buildin~ to be located on adjacent property. IC ~ould cost
the municipality $50,000 to acquire the lot in order to arrange a trade of
properties. ~unds ware not available and i~ was not possible to proceed ~lth
this proposal. ~hen rapresentatives of the law firm had asked ~hst the City
could do, the City Eellinear had told them ~hat, undar the due process o~ the
law, the City v~as unable to prevent the firm from bulldir~ the offices.
ZI~ City 14ansWer stated that the special comairene had followed directions
and all applications for buildinS permits within the urban rene~al area had
been preemnted to Council- This particular matter had been brought to Council
in Committee o~ the Whole because the information had been received in confi-
dence and the property and money involved ~are valid reasons to consider the
matter in Committee.
The ~emarks of several members of Council and the City lianaGet ino~tuded
expressions o~ t~ust and confidence in staf~ members and it was considered
that the alienations could not be construed as heinz of a ucorrupt' nature.
It ~as pointed out also thee the area is zoned for comnercial use and an office
building is permissable.

Alderman Scott referfad to a discussion during a previous meeting
of Council in regard Co the responsibility for'arterial roads following the

23 of an address by The Hone-table D~kcyHoHaough where he states Chat the
Regional Caunoil will be responsible for Che construction, repair and moRn-
tenants of arterial roads and kialmays. The Alderman said that, to date, there
has been no indication that this policy will be chanted,
Aldet~mNcCallomreferred Co a mating of the Urban Renewal

least ia pert, by funds currently sac aside in the Capital Budget. He
outlined the difficulties in acquiring a substantial amount of land for
parking purposes. Be had brought to the attention of the City KnSlnoer the
suggestion thaC the municipality should consider the possibility of multi-
tier parking, especially behind Queen Street, between St-Laments and Welland
Avenues, Th~ City F~ineer had indicated Chat he would 1oo~ at the cost of
constructin~ multi-tier parking facilities as opposed to the cost o~ acquirin~
land and buildleas for ground level parking. Such cost would, of course,
reflect the inability of the higher levels of government to assist with the
clearing of the land, The Alderman pointed out that the Cities of London and
Bemiltonhave installed markets on the ground floor of multi-~ier parking sod
tbeC the City of Niagara Falls should consider similar action, If the City
did proceed with cha Urban Renewal Scheme, cubstandard buildings could be
acquired, cleared and offered ~or sale. The City ~ould then benefit on uev
taxes. Alderman XcCallumasked that Council meneider this matter and that
the City NanaSer look into this point.

'~nXVAT~ DEVSLOPF~NT
Alderma Greatkemp read from a prepared brief in which ha proposed
that cha City enter into partnership with the doMntmm~ south end and
SUmford business districts to follow a progrm of self-help which would,
ease aS~in, establish the downtown district aea priam shopping area. Re
augSeated that the City could land monies, presently allocated in the Capital
Budget for Urban Renewal, to the corporation and chin would eventually be
repaid through special assesanent on areas of benefit. He considered that if
dumatown merchants raised an addleRenal $2S0,O~0 the Provincial Government
could then be approached for asSiStance. :The proposal recommended the prepara-
tion of a list of dmmtown business mmers; a meeting ef all owners, tenants
and merchants; Council's support of the plan and financial participation;
perking IC the rear of business establishcents and mxpanstln of the downtown
mall.
Alderman Crsaskamp requasted that the propenal be tabled for one
~mek to enable Council members to study the recp~odations. Hayor Hlller
said that if a copy of the submission was made available, copies would be
prepared for distribution to the members ef Council and the proposal would be
considered Cogether with a report by the City Z4anagar on some of the aspects
of the recommendations.

SPECIAL
~ouncil convened in special session et 7:00 p.m., Friday, September
12th, 1969. All Hembars of Council were present. His Worship l~ayor F. J.
Killer presided.
l~ or Killer explained that the special meetin~ was for the purpose
of considerin~ three razenine amendment applications ~or the establishment of
con~orcial plazas in the City o~ Ria~ara Falls.
REPORT 543 - City l~na~er * Re:A~i-248,Cannoi Holdings Ltd. ,Lundy~sLane and

Stone Road end AM-297,Cambridge Leaseholds Ltd. ,~ontrose Rd. north o[ CNR.
Addsins thaC Cambridge Leaseholds Lad.and Bramalea Consolidated Development Ltd.
have been notified of the Planning Board~s decision that the application of
Cannai Holdings Lad.for a shopping plaza has been recommended for approval to
City Council;submitting background material prepared by the Niagara Falls and
Suburban A~ea Planning Hoard.
F~Qyor Killer referred tO the Procedural By*law which permits one
spokesman for each applicant and a time limitation o~ 15 minutes. Council
~embers agreed to allow the speakers to ex~end the time to 20 minutes if
required.
~r.Robert J.' TsitoProperty 14anegement,Bramalea Consolidated Developments Ltd.
I~r. Tait considered Chat it was unnecessary to review the ~ull
details of the Bremalea proposal inasmuch as the information had been presented
to the Planning Board on three previous occasions. Re suggested three areas
o~ consideration:
1. Stature o~ the development - The Braealan company is · multi-million dollar'
Canadian-owned corporation with the ~inancial backing to proceed "with the
project as natlined.
2. Does the City need a new sho~ir~ area?- Is the City able to support a new
shoppin~ area and to what extent? Two reports have been prepared by indepen-
dent, recognized economical consultants. Both studies emphasize that
shopping ~acilities ere required but the City is not able to support a
regional shopping plaza until approximately 1985. The co~smsnity shopping
-- area proposed by Br~_n~_lca, ff approved, can be in operation within twelve
months. The Bramalea proposal will not conflict with existing business or
with the futum of the menicipalitT.
3. ~hethar the shodginS area can ~erform financially - Do the applicants have
commitments from major Canadian retailersT Steinbarges Limited are comnitt-
ed as the major tenant of the Braeales plaza.
F~. Tail reminded Council that Bramalea owns certain parcels o~ land
within the proposed development area and these lands, ha said, ere zoned
'cen~ercial. lie advised that an application for a building permit had been sub-
milled three weeks nee but, to date, had not been issued. He sagSsated that
the nornil procedure for the issuing o~ buildinS permits was not being ~ollo~ed
end warned that if the permit was met granted at the close of business on
14onday, ha was prepared to use every local avenue available to him to obtain
~he permit,
14r. Philis Bona, Larry Smith & Co, ned Cambridge Leaseholds Lid.
l~r, B~n~s~m said that while the municipality is compelled to protect
existinS retail facilities in central business districts, the present business
areas were not providing the residents of the comeunity with the optimum
services desired. Free parking, slimstic control end department stores sre
provided by · regional shopping plaza end the attractions o~ Fan Centre ere
drawlaB local residents who are spending retail dollars outside the co~unity,
The solution, he said, was to establish a cosuni~y-type shopping plaza wl~h
tt~e ability to expand to a reSional shopping area when the rate of Srowth of
the municipality warrants it. He considered that the Combridge proposal would
not be detrimental to existing retail facilities,
Projected on the screen ~ere statistics indicating that the sales
potential in the codaunity in 1971 is $32,800,0OOJ present sales volume in
NilSara Fails is 823,~00,000. By 1978, with the 8row~h of retail sales,
Combrides will be expanded to include a second departnone store, De advised
that present plans include approxisately 100,000 square feet of departneat
store floor space, ~ompsrsbls to Simpson bars sad napable of p~ovidinS the

end CsQnai .i~ requested,
No.Robert Smith; Damns & Smith and Cambridge Leaseholds Limited.
Mr. Smith pointed sue that the location of She Cambridge proposal
is in the uorth-west sector of the City, the sector where City officials
anticipate future expansion of residential and other lead uses - such develop-
meat is probable in the year 1976. Re nosed that the Queen Hlizabeth Way will
be improved and it is expected that by November 152h,1969, contracts will be
awarded for construction of the interchange exeandin~ between Thorold Stone
Road and Lendyes L~ne. 11m Cambridge proposal would be completed by 1972 by
which t~-~_ Lundy~z Lane will be closed as an interchange. The reconstruction
of the traffic circle and she proposed widenin~ of Nonerosa Road will increase
the accessibility of the Cambridge site. The Moreicon Street extension ,while
· leo improving accessibility, would not be necessary until approximately 1980.
No. Smith said time Cambridge La·se!~lde would be interested in advancing the
improvement o~ that section of Neatross Road from the Queen Blissbeth Way
norelmard8. It is cousiderad time the storm drainage system is adequate for
Phases I and 2 of She projects beyond Phase 2 improvements Nell be required,
not only for the shopping· area bus ~or the entire drainsat area. The anniesty
sewers, as they now exist, can provide service to the site ae the present time.
~here is some question about the adequacy of the axistiM watermean but the
City does have n inns range plan to extend the proposed trunk waterm~J_u on
Ltmdysz Lane to · point past the C~mhridSa mite.
Douglas NcLepd. Caunai Holdings Limited
F,~, MoLted seated that it was originally proSesad eo establish a
rngiosel shopping mall and a residential station but it wee the decision of
She Planning Board to consider the coa~ercial aspects only at this time. It
it intended that the mall will complement existing retail facilities rather
than to somaate for retail sales. Aleimu~h it is too early to obtain firm
commitments from the local merchants, some of them have indicated their
interest in establishing branch stores se She Csnnai shopping plats. ~hs
sheppin~ centre will attract shoppers Nho presently travel to the Pen Canera
and will also be easily accessible for residents of T~ellami, Port Colborne
and Yore Erie. Mr. Melted said that the efforts of downtam archsues to
attract the tourist trade had been, for the moot pare, unsuccessful whereas
the Casimi~.'.- site is ideally situated for tim convenience of visitors to
the City. lie also pointed out that th· meremean2 study preplrad by R.G.Acres
& Co, indicated that there is a need for · regional shoppin~ plasa in Niagara
Falls, All necessary services such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers and
watermains ere evaliable at the site. the )loutrose Road area was silowed to
develop without proper plaanin~ he·era the cstablisl~MnZ o~ the Planning Hoard
and the plase will eelmace the area. Cannel Holdings have, and will continue,
to purchase as men~ sites on Nonerose Road as possible,
Mr. NcLemi advised that Clxmai Holding· an~ have a ~izm ca=element

second department store, l~s Csnnai developers are prepared eo submit to
Cotenil, in Committee of the ~hola, doeumentary proof as to the ·vailability

is indialied by · petition bearin~ the signature of 6000 residents,
General Discussion
Mayor Miller referred to en earlier statement by l~r. Tale of
Eramain that, if necessary, he would take further -tops to obtain the
requested buildin~ permit. In all fairness to the Oity Council, he added,
all the applicants sheaid be aware that the background smeareel had only
been made avail·bin to She Members on the previous Nonday and ba questioned
if Counsel weuld Im prepared to make n decision ·t this time.
In replying to several questions, Mr, hit said that the Eramales

Smith. ·xpmusd the upinioa that the hihW,,rowemsnt of limerosa Iold for the
tomato of the luterob·ale doeu to lamdF · Lanl eo~ld probably nasa the
-3-
City to give consideration to the installation of a 30" watermain between
Lundy*s Lane and she Q.R.W. extension. He believed that the City would have
an interest in advancing the construction of the watermain from the
extension of eha Q.E.W. northerly eo She northern limit o~ the Cambridge
site. l~r. Smith stated that Cambridge are prepared to negotiate ~ith the
City to advance the construction of Che watermein which would be required
some time in She future in any event. The same approach would apply co
other services such as sanitary sewers, storm sewers, road works, etc.
I~. Smith explained that if the construction of the 30" watermain was
advanced ten years, Cambridge Leaseholds Led. would pay the debenture costs
for she first ten years.
City Endnear, C.H.Eidt, presented the followin~ information in
regard to services.
ErAm"toa -
Water 8upply adequate.
Sanitary sewer facile.ties ~ adequate.
Storm Sewers - It will be necessary Co extend a storm sewer from
I~eleh Street. The extension to be paid for by She developer.
Traffic - Problems will be creased if the proposal i8 approved.
T~ developer would be expected to pay the additional costs o~
providing more lane8 or other alterations.
Cambridge
Water - It is doubtful if the existing water supply would be
sufficient particularly if additional development took place
in respect to the subdivision.
Sanitary sewers - Adequate for Phases 1 and 2 ff there are no
basements. By Phase 3 ie would probably be necessary to extend
back Co the Kaler Road pumping station.
Storm Sewers - Watercourse is adequate for first phase. With
additional development the watercourse would have to be
extended further Co the north.
Tramfie -The developer would be expected Co pay the costs of
in~roving Monarose Road Co the plaza. l~r, Eldt also indicated
that from the City°s viewpoint it my be necessary eo extend
Norrison Street' prior to 1980, the date suggested by the Cambridge
representative.
Canna· -
Water - Adequate.
Sanitary Sewers - The pumping station ae she intersection of
~onerose Road and NoLeod Road is capable of providing the
services. If it was necessary to expand the pumping station,
the developer would pay She costs.
Storm Sewers - Ie would be necessary that a storm sewer outlet be
.extended to the Canal.
Traffic - If it became necessary to widen and improve Nonerose
Road, it would be expected that the developer would pay for it.
In replying co numerous questions by Members of Council, the City
Engineer supplied she following information:
(1) Norrison Street extension - Although the acrebeseeCh arterial roads are
excellent, the City is limited to four east-west arterial roads, namely,
Nounteen Read, Thorold Stone Road, Lendyes Lane end NcLeod Road and there
is a demand for additional east-west mevemnt. The Cambridge proposal would
increase the need for the Morrison Street extension.
Nounzest Rcad- Application has been made to the Department o~ Highways
Chat Nonerose Road be a eonneetin8 link but, to date, Chore has been no
reply; the amount of subsidy would be rather smell; She erieerie for MaCro
Toronto.and Ottawa-Carlton has been applied and, i~ uuchunged, .~ould
indicate that Honerose Road would become a regional road.
Aldermen Thomson suggested that a report be prepared by she
Engineering Department outlining the costs involved in regard to each
application and also submitting in~ormetion as to the costs that would be
shared by the developers. Re suggested also that another messing with the
Planning Board or · meeting of the Conz~tttae of the Whole'might be advisebin
inasmuch as additional information was required. Aldermen Grasskemp
su22·stsd that the engineering report include infforeation ae to the
services prznntiy available and those which would have to be provided.
Aldersan Wilson queried if it would be possible to estimate the taxes that~
would ha assessed for sash o~ the shoppiq cantus.

N~v/. BUSINE8~
Alderman Crasskemp referred to a previous meeting of Council at
which tim he had questioned the procedure followed in the issuance of a
buildin~ permit to Ofi~ett~a~C legal offices aC 607 Huron Street. The Aidafghan
had accused City 14annget A,C.BuSSins of lying but noted that when l~ayor
Miller ~uled him out of order he had ~,w~diately qualified the remark by
etatin8 that members of Council were bain~ mislead. He said that Mayor
14iller had not been able to maintain ~roper order deri~ the meetiu~ and
because of the resulcin~ "pandemonium" he had not had an opportunity to ask
eleven prepared questions of the City Manager. Alderman ~raaskamp advised
chat ha no~ ~antad to ask ~fo questions of the City ManaSer and, if he
received truthful answers, be would consider retracting his original scats-
mont. Be suggested that Mr.~ RuStics consider the questions for one week and
than be prepared to give a direct Yes or We answer.
1. le the issuing of the permit did the City Manager further the interests of
certain individuals and/or cmupanies rather than the interests d the City of
MisSarm ~alls?
2. Was the same procedure followed cn this permit as on applications for
similar pennies for construction on sites in the City*s urban renewal area?
Mayor Miller regretted chat ha had not carried out his threat to
eject Alderman Granskamp from the September 2ud. mastic8 and added that the
Aldet~nan himself was responsible for the confusion and bedlam duri~8 the
maatiu~ and had not 8ivan the City Nanseer an opportuniC7 co reply to the
qttastions.
Aldersran Chessman expressed the opinion thaC Cha City Hansget should
not be required to answer the t~o questions now presented and pointed out that
AXdsrman Graaeksmp had failed co submit evidence to prove thaC *~ickad or
evil" transactions bad taken place. He stagnated that the onus was on the
Aldereel Co prove his allegations of corruption in the City Halt. Alderman
M~Gallum considered the request for answers free the City 14snaBer was
udamaanin~" and outgosled thaC Mr. RuSShe noC reply. Alderman ThomSon
setBasted Chat the decision as cowbather the questions should ot should not
be answered mbomid be left to the discretion ot the CICy Ranager. He did
not feel thee the CityMamqer should be required to answer.
GIDBRBDou the motion of AidanMnCheesman, seconded by AldermanMaCatl~m
that the decision as CO whether the two questions sebmitted by Alderman
~raaskamp shouXd be answered, be left to the discretion of the City MacaSer.
AldemnG~maskamp abstained from vetloSe
Aldetmmnt4artiu said that Alderman ~raaskamp should submit his
tipore on corruption prior to the mmioipal exaction on October 6th. In
~lplyiqto the reemrk, Aldarman Oraasksmp said thee his sworn atecement hid
hash forwarded Co the Attoxnayeaneral and m reply to his lltt6r indicated ·
course t~et the Alderman emuld follo~ iuprooeldiuSwithh~s ~hergel, Tam
suSSeation oocion, he added, would coumeemborrassmentnoC only to one man but

1.~yorMiller stated that Alderman Grasskemp should show
courtesy to the other members of Council by prcvidin~ them x~ith copies of
both the co~municaCion to the Attorney Ceneral and the reply received.
Alderman Grasskemp said that he did not consider that the City Council was
the proper piece Co disclose the information and the matter would be left
to the discretion of the Justice Department.
CH~BRYWOOD ACRES SCHOOL
It has been brought ~o the attention of Alderman Thomson that a
hazardous condition exists in the area of Cherrywood Acres and the new
Pettic and Burdette subdivisions where an estimated 115 children cross over
the railway tracks to get to the Cherry~ood Acres School. Alderman ~homson
had photographed the area which is overgrown ~iCh weeds and unused railway
ties have been abandoned in the vicinity of the tracks. Railroad traffic
occurs at 9:00 a.m., at noontime and aC 4:30 p.m.when children of kinder-
garten age and over cross the tracks. The Alderman said it would be
impractical ~o suggest that the children not cross the tracks because of the
distance they would have to ~alk.
ORD~P~D on the motion of Alderman Thomson, seconded by Alderman McKinley that
the matter be referred to the City bhnager for study and report as to the
possibility of providir~ more protection for the school children and whether
a crossing guard is required.
The City Engineer indicated that temporary measures could be taken
until Marrisen Street is extended ac which time the dangerous conditions
would be eliminated.
POLICE MOP~Ug
Alderman Scott advised that he had received a letter from~r. P.O.
Carruthers, Administrator of the Greater Niagara General Hospital, enquirir~
if a morgue ~.Tas included in the plans for the new police buildings. To date
the police have used the hospital facilities but, owin~ to crowded conditions,
the hospital administration ~ould prefer chat other arrangements be made.
l~yor ~iller said that to his knowledge the plans do not Include a
morgue. The City Manager will mal~ further enquirtes.

It has bonn brouihC to the attention of Aldermen ~hommon that the

The Niagara YoUth' Studio is a non-profit organization end their performances
are supported by the young people of the municipality, however the costs of
renting the school facilities are so prohibitive that it is almost impossible
for the group to present their annual concert. Alderman Thomson suggested
that non-profit organizations should be given preferred rates by the Board
of Education and the Board should not expect to make a profit on the
efforts of such organizations.

person advising that he had paid $32.00, the other had paid $66.00 ms opposed
to the flat rate which is $8.14. The Aldermen asked (1) what areas are now
being serviced by meters? (2) Are older areas having meters installed?
(3) When will the City be fully metered? Aldermen Thomson stated that e
petition was being circuleted to obtain legal advice as to discrimination
by the City against residents who have matered water. He enquired if legel

REGIONAL GOV~RliiENT QUASlURS
Nayor Miller requested Council*s support of a proposal to ask
the Regional Council to consider Oak Hall for the offices of the Regional
Chairman, the Consultant-Administrator, other key personnel as well as for
the meetings of the Regional Council. He proposed that the existing City
Mall be offered as accommodation for the regional staff workers, Re s~ated. ~
that he had consulted with the other three Niagara P~lls representatives on
the Regional Council and expressed the hope that the Regional Council would
n~ford no opportnaity to ell municipalities within the Regional Municipality
of Niagara to submit briefs on available locations. Nayor Miller said that
although the arrangement would be ten,~orary the Regional Council would
become accustomed to meeting in Niagara Falls and he considered that there
was no better place to establish permanent headquarters,
Aldermen Grasskemp said that he had reservations on the matter
and felt that the regional headquarters should be geographically centredl
that the various municipalities are getting into a shesale~ about where the
headqnartera should he located and they should be concerned about whet they
can contribute to the region rather then whet they can get out of it. He
suggested iurthar that before Oak Hell is offered, a qualified firm should
he consulted ae to its serviceability.
AldenmnMcCallum observed that if regional headquarters were
established in Niagara Falls, it would be · great asset to the Cityl that
tourists invariably enquire as to the whereabouts d public buildinns and
there couldn*t be a ere prnotigioua location for the offices then Oak
Hell, b suggested bowever that rather than an eutrit.h.t Sifts the existing
City Hell could ha leased for · dollar a year
ORDERED on the motion of A!dermao Benrag, seconded by Alderman Thomson
that the Council of ~he City of Niagara Falls suppor~ the suggestion put
forth by l~ayor Miller that the existing City Hell be offered to the Regional
Council as acoounodation ior the reSinhal staff workers and that the

Appeal had Granted special permission to the Niagara District Council to

should be returned Co the United Appeal so that all participating lamaties
would receive their fair $hare. He pointed out that the taxpayers of the City
are 'contribucin~ to the United Appeal and that City Council should be concerned
that the comuunitiee of St. Davides, Bethel, Niagara To~mship, Niaaara*on-Che-
Lake and Virgil are also betas serviced by the Niagara District office. Hr.
Billin~ suggested that a committee OZ independent citizens should investigate
tha operation of the Greater Niagara United Appeal, During a recent
National Council matinS hold in Niagara bile, Mr, Btllin~ had submitted a
complete list of all correspondence to Cha National President but hal had no

Report ?64 - City Manager -Re: NiaaeraHOnorail Proposal. Presenting.reports
from the City Solicitor, City Engineer, FlanninS Director and the ci-ty
Buildin8 Inspector; suggesting that a copy of the report be given to Hiss J.
V.Lat4areh, Solicitor for NiaaaraHOnoratl Limited, in order that the various
cosmeats made by City officials can ba considered end given further study.
ORDERED on the motion of Ald;man 14cCallum, seconded by Aldermen Chessman that
Hiss LaMareh be granted permission to address Council.
Hiss LaHersh pointed out that at the present time there are no
Provincial or Federal rnsulatione which deal w~th an enterprise such as the
HOnerail. CommentinS on the report of City staff members, she considered
that the re-desiSn end location of the sta~J. ons would pose no great problem;
the suBRested sinale rw of supports has be~n considered and discussed end
the developer is prepared to amend present plans; the ingress and earass at
Clifton Hill could be moved further north or south to solve the problem of
traffic flow. The report uf the City Solicitor indicates that in order for
Council to be empowered to authorice the operation or the construction of
the proposed~ork8 on or over highways in the City, the assent of t~e e~eotor8
under the ~lunicipel Franchises Act ~ould be required or the Act ended to
dispense ~ith this requirement. The report also suggests the possibility of
having to amend tha l4unicipalAct or the Municipal Franchises Act. Hiss
Lal4arsh said that such · referendumwould be very expensive and considered
that neither NiaSataManorail Limited nor the City would be prepared to
assume such costs, She said that she had had an opportunity ~o discuss an
amendment to the general Act or a possible special Act with a senior official
of the Department of Hunicipal Affairs but it would be February or March
before such legislation could be dealt with. bcause 6f a December 10th
deadline for the purchase of ground and air rights, it is imperative that
she ascertain the attitude of Council and whether they are prepared to
support the enterprise, If Council indicates that they are in fevour of the
Manerail, Hiss LaMatab suggested that she and the City Solicitor meet with
the Deputy Hinestar of Nunicipal A~feirs and discuss the st~geations of City
Officials as to ,bat should be included in an earcement between the developer
and the City, The discussions would also include the possibility uf a Private
Act rather than tryinS to amend general lqislation when there has been tm
similar experience naywhere in the Country. Hiss La~arsh said that consider-
able money has already been spent and many hours spent with representatives'
of Ontario Hydro, the Hiahways bpartment of Ontario an well as Federal
authorities in an effort.to provide · public transportation set, lice without
financial lapport fr~xathe public,

Miss Lal~rsh, representing Niagara Honorall Limited, said there
is soma uncertainty as to whether the federal, provincial or ~nicipal
government has Jurisdiction over the proposed monc~ail. There has been no .
attempt to avoid the control of any level of government. She, as solicitor
for the applicants, has been instructed to procure all approvals possehie.
It is now proposed to have an agreement with the City, preferably drawn
by the City Solicitor and she will prepare s Private Act to authorize the
agreement and to dispense with the vote of the electors. ~ss Lal~lrsh said
that it may be necessary to ask assistance and have the City make applica-
tion for the Private Act. This will give the application certain weight f
with the Legislature and it is presumed that the local Member of Parliament ,
~ould be asked to present the bill before the PriVate Bills Committee.
Niagara Honerail Limited would assume all expenses. It will be necessary I ~
to deal with the 1970 Council inasmuch as the nsre~ment will not be pre- ~ t
sented for signature until ~arly in the new year end it will have to be
published for six weeks before presentation to the Legislature. Miss
LaMarsh expressed the hope tha~ Council would support the Private Act in ,;.: ,~
order to avoid future problems.
Some concern has been expmssed that the proposed mossrail will
aE~ect the local transportation system and cause a lay-of~ of bus drivers.

Transit Commission and there is a possibility thaC the Coeuuission will ~
operate the service In which case it is likely that more Jobs will be '1

ALDERNAN NOCALLU~
Alderman NcCallum expressed hie personal gratitude and pleasure for
the opportunity to serve as an elected representative of the City of Niagara
Falls for eleven years. Re thanked the }fayor, the Aldermen with ~hom he had
served, stef~ members and the citizens of the City for their friendshi~ and
trust. One of the most awardin~ experiences, he said, was that of servir~ as
the Council's representative on the Planning Board x~here he became involved
in housing, zoning, transportation and recreation. Aldermen HcCallum asked
the 1970 Council to develop a philosophy about whet they can do for the
citizens and the co~nunity rather than bean8 concerned that every 'i' is
dotted and every 't' is crossed and the correctnags of their actions.
Alderman ~cCallum retired from the meeting.
Alderman Bearss said that the citizens of Niagara Falls as well as
ell H~nbers of Council appreciated the contributions made to F~nicipal affairs
by retiring Aldermen Chessman, l~cCallum, Grsaskamp end Prior. She said it had
been a pleasure to serve with the Alderman and expressed best wishes to them
for the future.
ALDERHAW CHEESF~N
Alderman Chessmen referred to a recent *Letter to the Editor* in
which the writer had indicated interest in ho~ Council would vote in regard
to the lowering of the voting age to 18 years. The Aldermen did not think it
possible to consider a change in the vetasS age without also considerin~ its
implication for the see level of majority status; that young people of today
do not achieve independence of their parents until the mid-twenties because
of the demands of their education; that young voters will divide their votes,
switch their vote, elect new parties, kick out old governments with the ssme
degree of frequency as their older fellow voters. The young voters, he said,
will be lees patient and will demand quicker solutions, If each succeeding
crop of lg=20 year elders can be harvested at each election on the side of
idealistic, political involvement then the lo~;isS of the voting age will be
worthwhile. Yaxth, he said, has already exerted great influence on government
and he hoped that when the young person, gets his vote he will not cease to
involve himself in political campaigning. Alderman Chessmen Mid that as long
as ha was involved in politics he would continue to welcome the young person.
Continuing his remarks to Council, Aldermen Chessmen said that it had
been a personal henour to serve and be known as an "Aldermen", He expressed
the opinion that in the future there ~ould be more ratepayer participation in
Council meetleSs and they ~ould demand and initiate action on matters of
municipal interest; they will not be patronaged but rather will reject "BiB
Brothers" from City Council and will not wait three years to express their
voice,
Cormeating on Regional Government, Alderman Chessman said that the
electorate had voted for age and expatiates and he urged the Regional
Councillors to breakwith post county and inter-municipal feuds or factions.
He regretted the absence of young *hot-heads* ~ho ~ould force m thinking
and new approaches.
In his r_-~vks to the new Council, Aldermen Chewamen advised them to
give the electorate an honest No·day nightie work; that anything less is a
mrsappropriation of public time° The politician, he said, who indulges in
ill-tempered personal vendetta is guilty of defrauding the public; making
accusations, antisidelinE m~mbsrs of staff, visaing the Council Chambers as
· theatre is a nerve, old-fsshioned notion of municipal affairs. Alderman
Chm~sman urged the 1970 Council to spare the City from *hokum and melodrama**
B~ said the ciliaerie are looking for mature, decant 8nvtrnmmt which can be
ptevided only. by man and women - not boys.
