M_ayor~s Inaugural Address
To the citizens of the enlarged City of Niagara Falls.
As I begin this, my fifth inaugural address and the first inaugural address
for the enlarged city of Niagara Falls, I would like to take this opportunity to express
to you, the citizens of Niagara Falls, on behalf of my family and myself, our sincere
thanks for the honour you have given me in electing me, not only as your Mayor, but also
as the first Mayor of the enlarged City for the year 1963 and 1964; for this, I am most
grateful.
I viII continue to respect the Mayoris office and carry on the duties, as
your Nayor, ~ith all the dignity expected of this high office, as I have tried to do
during the past four years.
I will continue to serve you to the best of my ability, irrespective of your
race, colour, creed, or poli~ieal party affiliations and will continue to share the
honours with my fellow members o£ Council ae much as possible.
The year 1963 begins as a history making year in the lives of all of
us. It is history making because of the joining together of these two great
municipalities, namely the City of Niagara Falls and the Tow.ship of Stamford, into
one great city. It is also history making due to the fact that representatives of
these two municipalities sat down and discussed the problems of the two municipalities
with the best of co-operation and understanding, with the net result that we were in
unity when the application was made to the Ontario Municipal Board for the annexation
of the Township of Stamford. I understand that this is the first time in the history
of the Province of Ontario where two municipalities have willingly asked to be united.
The year 1963 is also history making due to the fact that the City
Council will now consist of ten members instead of seven. Although we are all.new in
one sense, each of us has had municipal experience which will be of benefit in the
administration of the affairs of the enlarged city. No disrespect to the name Stamford,
But I personally feel that with the name "Niagara Falls', which is the worldss best
known address, and the large area for industrial expansion which Stamford has to
offer, we should become a very important city, both for tourist and industrial
promotion. This can only be accomplished by hard work, co-operation and the unity of
all,
I would like to mention at this time that one of the members of the
former City Council, Alderman White, has seen fit to retire after'twenty-three
years' service to the City Council and to the citizens of Niagara Falls. To you,
Mr. White, our best wishes.
I would, at this time, like to extend to Miss Judy LaMatab, M.P.,
and Mr. George Bukator, M.L.A. our best wishes for continued good health, with the
sincere hope that co-operation, as has been given in the past, will continue in the
best interests of the enlarged city of Niagara Falls.
It is my pleasure at this time to welcome representatives of the
Board of Education, Separate School Board, Local Hydro Commission, Board of Health,
Welland County Health Unit, Chamber of Conmares, any Board I may have overlooked,
all publlc officials, appofhLed representatives, guests, and citizens gathered here
this evening a~ our 1963 Inaugural Meeting and to extend to all churches, the
Library Board, Poliee Commission, Board of Health, Hospital Board, Hospital Auxiliaries,
Hydro Commissio~, Chamber of Commerce, Niagara Development Association, members of
the United Appeal, Hockey and Baseball Absociations, V~teran~ Croups, and to any
other group I may have missed, my best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year,
with the request for continuance of the co-operation which has bean given to this
Council, in past years.
Thanks should also be extended to Mr. W. S. Orr,.City Manager, the
Clerks, Engineers, Treasurers, Assessors, Tax Collectors, the ~eads of departments,
and all other employees of the two former municipalities for their co-operation in
the past and I feel confident that the friendly relationship will continue.
I would like to extend my thanks to Chief Pay, Chief Cunningham, and
the personnel of the two previous Police Departments for the splendid work they did
in 1962 in solving many crimes and apprehending undesirable people. Ny thanks also
to Sergeant D, Cathen~ood and the many men of the Police Department who ~re giving
hours of free time to the Traffic Clinic and other endearours for the benefit of
the public.
I would like to thank Chiefs Wade, Embleton, Dyer and Allan and the
personnel of the Fire Departments for the splendid work done during 1962. To the
many men of the Department, my thanks for again g~ving of their time in the teaching
of fire prevention to the public and for giving lectures at th~ Public and Separate
Schools.
My thanks to Local 133 and Stamford Local 425 and to any other
branch of the two municipalities, which I may have emitted, for the protection and
services the citizens have received in the past and it is my hope that all citizens
and places of business will continue to support and place their confidence in ~he
now enlarged City of Niagara Falls,
The current year would create the impression that the name Stamford
has been lost to all intents and purposes, but in actual fact, it has not been and
never will be insolaf as historical and sentimental value is concerned,
Witness the fact that Stamford Green is said to be the only village
in Canada. It was originally part of the farm of Captain R, H. Dee, a retired
British Officer who had been Aide-De-Camp to Sir Peregraine Maltland, who was
Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada in the 1820's. From 1824, through the
kindness of Captain Dee, the Green was left open as a playground for the people
of the Viiiage of Stamford. In the year 1908, Dr. John Dee, who inherited the
land, sold it to the Village for $1,000.00 wlch the condition that it should
always be used as a public park, and that it should be deeded in trust to five
trustees and be under their control. It is not known by me, at this time, if
the name Stamford Green is registered. It is my hope that this Coulcil would
pass a by-law - if protection has not already been provided - to perpetuate
the name Stamford at this historic spot. It would also be a gracious gesture,
I think, to place a plaque, with the name inscribed, somewhere on the Green.
During the fall of 1960, a Commission, comprising four members
appointed by the Joint Councils, Reeve Mitchelson, from the then Township of Stamford,
and myself, as elected officials, was set up to operate the Greater Niagara Transit
System~ The personnel of the Commission appointed by Councils remains the same,
with the Mayor being the elected official, which now makes it a five-man commission
instead of the previous six. I would say that these men deserve a lot of credit
for the very able and efficient manner in which they operate the Transit Commission,
Passengers carried - January lst.to November 30/61 - 1,141,619
Passengers carried - January lst.to November 30/62 - 1,191,843
Exclusive of passengers carried on the Queen Victoria Park Run
Increase of passengers - 50,224 or 4.4 percent.
Commencing May 7th, 1962, we put on a new route, at the request of
many citizens, to serve the Rainbow Bridge and Queen Victoria Park Area. This
proved very costly and was discontinued on September 15th. The cost, less
depreciation and overhead, was $7,272.00. We received revenue ~ $3,133.00 which
left an operating deficit of $4,139,00. The estimated increase in the 1962 deficit
of $4,840.00 less the amount los= oL the park rut of $4,140,00, makes a net increase,
compared to our 1961 operation of $700.00. This, I believe, is a very favourable
figure when you consider our expenses were higher in 1962 because of increased wages,
increased benefits and the granting of two weeksw vacation to each employee.
Among many problems that must be solved by the 1963 Council are several
affecting our relations with the County of Welland. The matters to be resolved
include grants to relieve the county of undue burden by reason of the loss of
assessment, the use of the facilities at Sunset Haven and an adjustment of assets
and liabilities between the former Township of Stamford and the County of Wellamd.
Sub-s~otion 10(1) of Section 14, Chapter 249, of the Revised Statutes of Ontario,
1960, reads as follows: "(i) Where by reason of any annexation or amalgamation order
~made under this section a county will be deprived of not less than 15 percent of
its equalized assessment, the Ontario Municipal Board may authorize and direct the
payment to such county by the annexing or amalgamated municipality, to relieve such
county from any undue burden by reason of the loss of such assessment, of compensating
grants during a period of not more than five years after the effective date of the
annexation or amalgamation in such amounts and manner as may be agreed upon between
the county.and the annexing or amalgamated municipality and approved by the Board
or, failing agreement, as the Board may deem equitable". The Township of Stamford
in 1962, was assessed for 28.6 percent of the equalized assessment for Welland
County. Therefore, an agreement respecting the amount payable to the county must
be agreed upon at a very early date so that this amount can be included as an
expenditure in the 1962 budget.
In the year 1962, the City of Niagara Falls, by the payment of
$19,356.03, obtained a 13,85 percent equity in the present net value of Sunset Haven
and by Agreement commencing in 1963, ~ill pay 13.85 percent of the annual amount
required to meet the annual payment of the debentures issued by the County to pay
for the additions to the home. By this a~rangement, when the addition Just recently
undertaken has been templeted, the City of Niagara Falls will be allocated 48 beds
out of the total of 350 beds. However, the Township of Stamford, on the basis of
1962 contributions, would have the use of 60 beds. This means that upon the completion
of the addition now underway, the City of Niagara Falls, as of January lst~ 1963,
will have the use of 110 beds out of a total of 350 beds, Members of Council will
k.
To reach an agreement with the County respecting assets and
liabilities, it ~.~11 be necessary to have strong representation from Council,
together with officials, solicitors and auditors, study all phases of the subject
with representatives of the County of Welland. It is respectfully suggested that
nothing should be done to affect the equity of the enlarged city in Sunset Haven.
As you are m~are, two reports are under preparation that will tend
to affect the development of the new municipality. The first report deals with
urban renewal and will indicate what the experts feel should be the development
in the many divergent areas of the cormnunity and what should be done to halt the
blight in certain areas and to rehabilitate areas already in an undesirable condition.
This report will entail intensive study by members of Council.
The second report deals with a study of present traffic problems
and forecasts the probably traffic problems of the future. It is estimated that the
present population of Niagara Falls and Chippaws is approximately 56,000 and that
by 1981, this will increase to about 100,000.
The external traffic passing through the area in 1961, on an
average summer day, was 15,535 vehicles while it is estimated that this will increase
to 37,650 vehicles in 1981. The number of visitors entering Queen Victoria Park,
by vehicle, in 1961 was approximately 58,100, but in 1981, this number will probaby
increase to 140,000. In order to provide for this tremendous increase in vehicular
traffic, it will be necessary to provide for an orderly development of arterial roads
that can acconmnodate such an increase in traffic. As the tourist industry is such
e major item in the economy of this area, every reasonable effort must be made to
encourage the tourists to visit this Histriet.
Members of Council are familiar with the measures that had to be
employed by the Township of Stamford to provide for the orderly development of
the Township. The Tm~nship declaration of policy should be reviewed at a very early
date and revised to meet the needs of the new city and to provide for adquate
supervision control. This is a vital matter and must be dealt with almost i~enediately.
Members are familiar with the several large construction projects
that are underway at the present time. These include:
'(a)
(b).
(C)
(d)
(e)
The construction of a new bridge over the C.N.R.tracks on Victoria
Avenue. It is expected that this work will be completed by
June 30th, 1963.
The construction of the Pollution Control Plant, located east of
Stanley Avenue and north of the Hydro Canal. Construction work
on this undertaking should be completed about June 30th. and the
Plant should be in operation some time toward the end of July.
Construction of the Stamford Intercepting Sewers. This work was
practically completed at the end of December, 1962.
Construction of Niagara Falls Intercepting Sewers. These sewers
should be completed about February 2Sth, 1963.
Stamford Pumping Stations which should be completed by the end of
May, 1963.
Niagara Falls Pumping Stations, five in all, should be completed
by the end of May, 1963.
Upon the completion of the Pollution Control Plant, the interscepting
sewers and the pumping stations, the pollution of the Niagara River by this community
should be eliminated for many years to come, ..
Before the completion of the new Bridge on Victoria Avenue, every
effort should be made to complete the rebuilding of the road on Victoria Avenue
between Bridge Street and River Road. It is proposed .to widen the roadway on this
section of Victoria Avenue from 26 feet to 48 feet,
There are a considerable number of projects that are required to
further the development of the City, but each and every project must be carefully
studied to determine if the City is 'able financially to proceed with its develop-
ment. Among the many projects required are:
(a) .~0~Ds
(1) The reconstruction and widening of Ferry Street from 40 feet
to 48 feet with new 9-foot sidewalks on either side,
(2) Acquisition and construction of the Hydro Road on the south side
of the Carborundum Plant between Portage Road and Stanley Avenue.
(3) Proposed extension of stone on Kalar Road as a county road between
Thorold Stone Road and Mountain Road. Most of the construction of this
roadway was done in 1962 and only a small portion remains to be stoned.
This road will provide an additional means of access from the Mountain
Road and the Queen Elizabeth Area.
(4) Acquisition from time to time of wider rights-of-way along future
arterial roads.
(5) Again I would like to bring to the attention of Council the
desirability of doing something at the intersection of Queen Street
and River Road to entice the many tourists who travel on River Road
to come into the Business Section at this location.
(b)
WATERMAINS
(1) Proposed extension of watermain along Thorold Stone Road from Kalar
Road to Garner Road and along Garner Road to the north limit of the
housing development. This watermain would be outside the proposed
urban service area, so that special arrangements would have to be made
for its construction. There is opposition to this project from the
farmers living on Thorold Stone Road and also considerable opposition
from residents living along Garner Road. This project must therefore
be given careful study and serious consideration,
(2) Extension of an 8-inch watermain ac~oss the H.E.P.C. Canal to
connect up with the 8-inch watermain ~presently existing on Oakwood Drive.
This watermain is tc service the Niagara Industrial Park within which
a small industry has been established. This is the first industrial
subdivision developed in this area by private individuals and this
connection would give two sources of water to provide for lower
insurance rates for the industries locating in the subdivision.
(3) New watermains to serve the proposed Niagara International Centre
project located east of the New York Central tracks from Murray Street
north.
(c) SEWERS
(1) Proposed relief sewers to be constructed on Victoria Avenue between
Walnut Street and Centre Street and on Centre Street from Victoria Avenue
to Lorne Avenue.
(2) A sewer in Queen Victoria Park to service the proposed International
Centre Project and facilities of the Niagara Parks Conunission.
(3) A further study of sewers along Mentress Road from McLeod Road to
Lundy's Lane. A further report on the possible construction of sewers
along this road and the method of handling the sewage will be presented
to Council at an early date.
(4) Completion of storm sewers along Rolling Acres Crescent and Rolling
Acres Drive which will eliminate open ditches.
(5) Lower culvert across the Queen Eltzabuuh Way to provide an outlet
for the storm sewers for the Town and Country Subdivision by way of
the ditch recently constructed to connectat Katar Road,
Members of Council are aware of the development to data respecting
Highway No. 8 and Highway No. 20. However~ the most recent information respecting
these projects is as follows:
(a) HIGHWAY NO, 8.
The Department of Highways is planning the reconstruction of No. 8 Highway
as follows;
From the north city limits to the tunnel under the C.N.R.tracks, the road
will be rebuilt to a width of 24 feet; from the CoN,R, tracks to MountainRoad~ the
roadway will be widened to 24 feet with a climbing lane for trucks; from Mountain
Road to O'Neil Street, the pavement will be widened to 24 feet with an 8-foot
parking lane on the west side; from O'Neil Street to the H.E.P.C. Canal, the
pavement will be widened to 40 feet with combined gutters on each side. Provision
has been made for storm water outlets on the project. It is expected that the
Department of Highways will call for tenders for the work early in the year and construe-
will probably commence in April, 1963. As soon as this construction work is completed,
this portion of No. 8 Highway will be turned over to the City as a "Connecting Link".
(b) HIGHWAY No. 20
NO detailed plans fop for the reconstruction of No. 20 Highway have
been prepared by the Department of Highways, although preliminary studies have been
carried out. Our information is that the Department of tlighways plans to turn No.20.
over to the City as a "connecting link" on April 1st. 1963. After this date, it has
been sugSested that special arrangements will be made with the City for the recon-
struction of this Road, a portion of which will probably be developed as a four-lane
highway.
One of the most pressing matters to be considered by Council
concerns assessment. In 1962, the To~mship of Stamford completed a re-assessment,
but no complete .p-to-date assessment has been made of the City of Niagara Falls for
many years. There are discrepancies in the assessment. of residential, commercial,
and industrial properties and it is only fair that the entire city be assessed on
the same basis. Work on this re-assessment should commence immediately upon
completion of the 1963 Business Assessment, and will, in all probability, require
t he employment of three additional qualified assessors for about nine months,
While discussing assessment, it is interesting to note that in 1962~
retail business assessment in the Toysship of Stamford was based on 35 percent of the
assessed value of real property and in the City of Niagara Fails on 30 percent of
the assessed value. In 1963, retail business assessment will be based on 25 percent
of the assessed value of real property. This means a loss of assessment of
$100,000.00 for former Township properties and $165,000.00 for former city properties,
or a total of $265,000.00. Although th~ City loses assessment, the taxpayers liable
for retail business tax will receive a slight saving.
The Council will again have to consider the grants paid in lieu of
taxes by the Hydra-Electric Power Commission and Niagara Parks Con~nission. The
Honourable R.W.Macaulay, Minister of Economics and Development~ indicated to
StamfQrd Council, in a letter dated November 21st. that he would like to go into
the matter of Hydra Grants after the completion of th~ Annexation. As soon as
convenient, a further meeting should be arranged with the Honqurable Mr. Macaulay
to discuss the problem.
As members of Council are aware, there are-two different systems
employed respecting the collection of garbage. In the former City area containers
were carried from the rear of houses to the curb and the empty containers were
returned by City employees. In the former Township of Stamford, householders carried
containers to the curb and were responsible for returning the empty containers. It
is obvious that Council will have to determine the policy to be adopted respecting
this community service, ,. -
At the present time, a land-fill method of garbage disposal is
employed on the dump on the west side of Victoria Avenue, north of Ferguson Street.
The area is practically filled and it is anticipated that the area can be levelled
and seeded in the spring of .1963. Upon completion of filling the above area, it
will be necessary to move to the Hydra property north of Mountain Road at Montrose
Road. This property is under leaxe and can accommodate the City for a n~mber of
years. The area presently in use west of Montrose Road and north of McLeod Road is
not operated as a land-fill area. It is proposed that as soon as possible, a suitable
bull clam be acquired and a modern land-fill operation inaugurated.
It will be necessary fat Council to consider the advisability of
employing consultants to study and report on the Croup Insurance and Pension Sahemes
presently in force so that a uniform schedule can be installed for all employees o£
the City,
In the settlement with Local No, 133 of Civic Employees made by the
City in 1962, one of the conditions was that a study. of Job and salary classifications
would be cemmenced. in 1963, Council should give this matter consideration as soon
as convenient, . .
In the Election in December, 1962, a fairly large number ofpersons
were eligible to vote under the Municipal Franchise Extension Act. This did
not apply to residents of the City of Niagara Falls. At an early date, Council
should consider the advisability of extending the Franchise to residents of the
City of Niagara Falls and the best method of dealing with this matter so that
there will be equal franchise for the election of December, lq64.
At a very early date, a capital budget should be prepared to cover the
expenditures for capital works for at least a period of five years. This budget
must be realistic and based upon the ability of taxpayers to pay Jar the same.
As Members of Council are aware, it is necessary to adopt immeaiate]y
a new rate for charges for water services. In 1962, there was a decided difference
in the rate structures ~nd a new equitable schedule is imperative.
In preparing the new schedules, it must be borne in mind that it ]s
probably that about the end of July, the cost of operation of the Pollution Control
Plant will be paid for by a levy on water users. Tentative schedules will be
presented to Council for consideration.
There are a great many other subjects that must be considered by Coupell.
I do not think it necessary to go into details of these subjects at present, but I
suggest tbat the following items must be studied.
(1)
Align the Zoning By-laws of the former municipalities of Niagara Falls
and Stamford,
(2)
Revise the By-laws respecting speed limits on City streets and }roads.
(3)
Development of a program designed to provide for the orderly replacement
of city-owned vehicles and mechanical equipment.
(4)
Revision of the licensing by-laws so that all charges will be on an even
basis.
(5)
Revision of the Building By-law, with every consideration given to the
possibility of adopting the National Building Code.
(6)
Adoption of a new Plumbing Code which will conform with the Ontario
Water Resources Commission draft by-law and the provisions of The
Municipal Act.
(7)
Preparation of a by-law respecting the keeping of animals and fowl.
(s)
Preparation and adoption of a by-law to license and regulate travel
trailer camps.
(9)
Prepare a schedule for the orderly development of parks. This might
entail the purchase of sites 'in advance of the actual development.
Although it is early to suggest the possibility od developing a civic
centre, there is no doubt that eventually it will be necessary to consider this
as well as a consolidation of work centtea. A preliminary study might reveal
that certain desirable locations are available, if the necessary steps are taken
to have such sites available when required.
Both the Council of the Township of Stamford and of the City of Niagara
Falls have co*operated in the past to encourage the development of the industrial
and tourist activities in the area. With the enlarged city, it would appear that ~he
opportunity exists to enlarge these activities and every encouragement should be
extended by Council to aid, wherever possible, a further extension of such activities.
The possibilities of increased tourist accommodation and artactions appear greater
than ever before and the area adjacent to the Falls seems headed for a phenomenal
development,
Members of Council are, of course, aware that an early decision must
be arrived at respecting the report of the Fire Marshal~s Office dealing with the
re-organization of the Fire Department, Council must also resolve the constitution
of health services for the new city,
Every effort must be made to integrate the staff of the two
municipalities, having in mind the necessity of building an efficient and
economical organization to administer the affairs of the City of Niagara Falls.
A very careful study must be made of all expenditures proposed for the year 1963
so that all frills are eliminated and ansdequate municipal service provided.
Expenditures for 1963 and succeeding years must be based on the ability of the
taxpayers to finance the same.
Ladies and Gentlemen, in closing I would like to extend my thanks
for yosr attendance at this history making inaugural meeting of the two full
grown municipalities. I would also like to extend thanks, on behalf of the members
of Council and myself, to Reverend Weissbach and Magistrate Johnstone Roberrs for
the important part each has played in this inaugural meeting.
To our two Members of Parliament, Miss Judy LaMarsh, M.P., and Mr.
George Bukator, M.L.A. our thanks for taking of your valuable time to be with us
this evening.
To the Niagara FaIL Evening Review, the Niagara Falls Gazette and
Radio Station C. H. V, C. our thanks for the coverage you have given the 1962
Council.
May I extend to everyone the wish that the year 1963 will bring
health, happiness and prosperity.

On behalf of the City of Niagara Falls, His jWorship, Mayor Miller accepted the {:ape

DEPUTATIONS
In connection with the communication from Mr. Roy Muma, Conservation Officer,
· Mayor Miller advised that Mr. Muma was present in the Council Chamber and on motion
~ of Ald. Martin and Ald. Swayze, it was ordered that he be permitted to address Council,
Mr. Muma stated that perhaps the Officers of the Greater Niagara Fish and Game
: Protective Association would like to submit their views and then if there were any
~ questions, he would be pleased to answer them.
Mr. Robert Pretty, Secretary of the Greater Niagara Fish and Game Protective
~ association then addressed Council and said they would respectfully suggest that the
i area on the west side of the Hydro Canal to the Welland-Lincoln County Line at
.: Queenston Quarries running south to McLeod Road and the area south of McLeod and west
:; of Portage Road to the Welland River be opened for hunting. This is the area which
had been a regulated area in the former Township of Stamford and had been used for
many years by the sportsman.
AId. Martin queried if the Council of a City had the authority to issue
licenets or whether special legislation would be required. Mr. Muma then stated that
Hunting Licerites were issued Under the authority of the Department of Lands and Forests,
but the problem seemed lobe whether ~ouncil could repeal their By-law dealing with the
discharge of firearms to allow hunting in certain areas of the City. If they could,
then permission would have to be obtained from the Minister of Lands and Forests for
the issuance of licenets.
SEE Communications 25 and 31.
' Representatives of Gasoline Service Stations were present in connection with
I. the petition requesting that the Early Closing By-law be left in force and on motion
of AId. Morton and Ald. Swayze, Mr. Kenneth Lengdon, Executive Secretary of the Ontario
Retail Gasoline Association was permitted to addtabs Council. Mr. Langdon said he was
speaking on behalf of those Service Station Operators who were in fayour of the early
~ closing by-laws and had been for many years. Ue stated that since one-third of the
igasoline service station operators must be in favour of the repeal of the by-la~ and
inasmuch as the original petition did not now represent this number, repeal of the
by-law could not lawfully be considered by Council. He stated that when a new petldon
containing the names of one-third of the service station operators is presented to
Council requesting repeal of the by-law, those operators opposed would like an
opportunity to submit their reasons to Council for wishing the by-law to continue
in force, which, in their opinion, was for the benefit of all concerned.
Aid. McKinley requested the Committee to check with the Solicitor
concerning the validity of repealing the by-law on a petition from one-third of the
operators of the enlarged City, whereas the by-law was originally passed following
the'receipt of a petition signed by three-quarters of the operators in the former
City.
Mr, Langdon then suggested that possibly a compromise could be worked
out by the Gasoline Station operators themselves which would be satisfactory to all
and His Worship the Mayor requested that if they had suggestions for arriving at
an amicable solution to this problem, they should submit them to the Con~nitt. ee for
consideration,
gEE-Petition No. 2
Messrs. Carl Young, Don Elsley and Robert Putt were present representing
the Niagara Frontier Insurance Operators Association and on motion of Ald.MoCallum
and Ald. Swayze, Mr. Young was permitted to address Council. Mr. Young stated that
the plan they |tad in mind was that the insurance would be handled by much the same
offices, but the benefits- commission-wise - would be shared by all members of the
Insurance Operators Association. Under this system, they felt the best and most
economical plan could be devised for the enlarged City. in the past, Mr. Elsley
had handled all the insurance of the former Township of Stamford and the City of
Niagara Falls' insurance was handled by what was conunonly known as the "Insurance
Pool".
In reply to a question from Ald. Keighan, Mr. Elsley stated that no
Insurance firm would lose anything under the new plan - that all agents who had
participated previously would participate to at least the same'extent.
Ald. Keighan also questioned the advisability of compelling Insurance
Agents to belong to the Insurance Operators Association h, order to obtain a share
of the City Insurance business, to which Mr. Young replied that only three or four
agents did not belong to the Association, that they were not excluded, and member-
ship in this Association automatically made the Agent a member of the Ontario and
National Associations. Ald. Scott advised that in the former Township, it was not
compulsory to be a member of this Association, but that the Company had to pay
business tax.

ORGANIZATION OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT
At the request of His Worship Mayor Miller, Mr. A. C. Huggins,
Assistant to the City Manager - Administrative, read a summry of the first report
submitted by the Welland and District Health Unit, the report submitted by Dr.
J. H. Davidson and a further report by Dr. Sturgeon.
Aid. Mitchelson stated that he had no intention of getting involved
in personalities, that he was interested only in obtaining the best service
available for the citizens of the enlarged City at the most reasonable 'cost. He
£elt that inasmuch as the services supplied by the Welland and District Health
Unit to the citizens of the former Township of Stamford and those supplied by the
Niagara Falls Board of Health to the residents of the former City of Niagara Falls
were completely satisfactory, the economic factor would be the deciding one and for
that reason, he would support the enlarged City enterinS the Welland and District
Health Unit,
from Dr. Sturgeon, in writing, answers to oeveral important questions,
including whether the full-time M.O.H. would have residence in the City of Niagara
Falls, whether he would have to have a D.P.H. degree, grants, etc.
Ald. McCallum queried as to whether we have the facilities available to
accommodate the Health Department, to which Ald. Martin replied that it would
probably be necessary to arrange for additional accommodation.
All Members of Council were unanimously agreed that full-time Medical
Officer of Health, resident in the City of Niagara Falls, was essential.
In reply to a question by His Worship Mayor Miller, Mr. McBurney, City
Solicitor, felt that possibly this requirement could be incorporated in the by-law.
Be also felt that any questions or requirements would have to be settled prior to
the passing of the By-law, since Council would have no jurisdiction over the Health
Department once it entered the Health Unit.
His Worship Mayor Miller also stated that he was not interested in _
personalities, but was interested in' the bes~ health services which could be. obtained
for the new City and that cost, in his opinion, was secondary,
Ald. Martin was of the opinion that there was merit in both reports,
but that inasmuch as a great deal of the information was of a contradictory nature,
a Committee should be appointed to meet with the Minister of Health, and .to. obtain
Following further discussion, it was ordered on the motion of AId.Martin
and Ald. Keighan that a Committee be appointed which would be empowered to meet
with Dr. Sturgeon, Dr. Davidson and the Minister of Health and his Assistants,
to delve into all phases of this problem and submit a complete report to Council
before February 15th. 1963.
ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Potter and Ald. McCallum that Ald. Martin,
Ald. Mitchelson, Ald. Keighan, His Worship Mayor Miller, the City Manager, the
Assistant to the City Manager - Administrative, and the City Solicitor comprise

of Ald. Mttchelso. and Ald. Cotfield that all material for the uganda be
received at the Clerk's Office not later than 12 noon on the day of the Council Meeting,

His Worship Mayor Miller requested the City Engineer to make a verbal report
as to the action taken during the recent snow storm to clear the snow, as telephone
calls received about the condition of the roads in the former {o~dship of Stamford
indicated dissatisfaction and the Mayor was of the Opinion that such comments from
City Engineer would enable people to realize that they were receiving same
service as previous to annexation.
Mr. Eidt, City Engineer, advised that the service is essentially the same
and he proceeded to explain the method being used? that the original Township crews
were assigned to their regular routes, as were the original crews from the City,
and that equipment was being exchanged. He explained the basic problems confronting
the Department~ namely the parking of cars on the side of roads; people throwing
their snow from driveway on to the road and the necessity o[ the mu~lcipal ploughs
having to clear it back; and also breakdown of equipment. He stated that the very
bes~ efforts were being made and this was an unusally heavy snow fall and some of
the crews had worked 20 hours without rest and that, in his opinion, roads were not
unduly blocked for any length of time.
His Worship the Mayor expressed the desire that the Press would
take note of this explanation.

next meeting, to provide for the repeal of the existing by-law, number 4391, and to
establish the hours as suggested in the petition if this meets with the approval
of Counc'll and that the operators be requested to provide Council with suggestions

an opinion as to the request from the Cloverleaf Service Station operator for 24-
hour operation.

Gasoline Dealers' Association, it was ordered on the motion of Ald. 8wayze and

No. 120 - C. Durwar_~d Secretary, Niagara Falls Branch, Retail Gasoline Dealers'
Association . presenting proposed system of rotation plan.
The whole matter of the operation of gasoline outlets and proposed by-laws,
was discussed at considerable length and a great deal of the discussion seemed to
centre around the possible interpretation of its application to places of business
that engage largaly in some type of automotive repair or servicing other than retail
sale of gasoline. The suggestions from the Dealtera' Association as to what might
be a schedule for 25 percent rotation, was discussed with reference to the possibiT-
lty of it being appended to the by-law and also as to whether the suggested operators
had been contacted as to their willingness to carry on under the suggested arrange-
ment. The provision in the draft by-law for exclusion of Q.E.W. operators was
queried and the suggestion was advanced that this exclusion should also apply to
other main highways, such as Number 8 highway.
The representatives of the Association, specifically Mr. LanEdon, indicated
that, in his opinion, the Association and its operators had gone as far as they .
could go to help the situation and were prepared to co-operate 100 percent.
Tl!ere was also a suggestion that Council might consider the simple repeal
of the existing early dosing by-law and deal with an alternative by-law at a
later date.
The motion to then give the by-law its second reading was considered and
was defeated, leaving the situation in the same position as that which existed
prior to the submission of the draft by-law.
His Worship the Mayor on being queried as to who would enforce the present
by-law, indicated that this would be the duty of the Police Department.

MISCELLKNEOUS
Ald. Morton referred to the operation of the Police Department and of
concern over the same, due to the fact that it is understood that certain men were
retiring after 8, 10, 12 and 13 years of service and queried whether the reason
was because they had better Jobs in view or whether this was a result of the change
in~nagement and the Alderman thought that His Worship the Mayor could report.
Mayor M~ller, as one member, stated that he would not presume to speak on behalf of
the Co~iss~on,
Ald..Ke~ghau was of the opinion that any questions in that regard should
be directed'to the police Co~iss~ou by the person making the enquiry~ with which
Ald. M~chelson concurred; Ald. M~tchelsou was of the opinion that most of the
innuendoes and questions being created ~n the public m~ud are being created by
rumour and not necessarily by fact and if responsible people want responsible
answers they should go to the body responsible and he felt that Members of Council
who are respouslble men are not expected to carry w~ves tales and ask explanation
of a responsible body.
Ald. Morton advised that in no way was he ~utend~ng to interfere w~th the
Police Com~ss~ou but Council are asked for reasons and ~f the Police Co~ss~on
were ou f~rm ground ~n what they have done, ~t was only reasonable that the public
are entitled to know.
Ald. Corf~eld stated that as elected representative of the people, he
was of the opiu~on that ~t was not asking too much to ask any co~ssion to report
~o Bouncll; that Council had a r~ght to kno~ whether these rumours are r~Bht or not.
Ald. Mart~u queried whether the press and radio were permitted to attend
Police C~ssion meetings and whether on Feb. 19th. the public had been present
w~th any complaints. The Alderman stated that at no t~me had he heard that the
Police Co~ss~ou meetings were open to the public.
~D~ED on the motion of Ald. Morton and Ald. Swayze that the Police
Co~ss~on be requested to present a report to Council as to the reasons men of the
Police Department are leavens and whether there ~s any d~ssens~on ~u the ranks,
Carried by a vote of ? [o 2~ the vote being Aye - Aldermen Swayze, Mortou~ Martin~
McCallum, 6orf~eld, McKinley, Po~ter; Nays - Aldermen Kei~han and Mitchelson.
Alder~n Sco~ asked to be excused from Voting.

SPECIAL b~ETING
A special meeting of Council was held on Wednesday, March 13tb. at 7 p.m.
in the Council Chamber, for the purpose of discussing the siLuation concerning
sanitation and refuse. All Members of Council were present, and His Worship,
Mayor Miller, presided.
His Worship advised Council as to the purpose of the meeting and since
the subject to be discussed was one whicb was handled by the Sanitation and pollution
Control Conmittee, the conduct of the meeting, was turned over to Alderman George
Martin, the Chairman of the Sanitation and Pollution Control Committee. Alderman
Martin advised the Mayor and Council that he thought matters would be simplified
if the report before them would be handled as it was ill committee, and requested
the City Engineer, Mr. Conrad Eidt, to explain the report. Mr. Eidt explained in
detail the mass of figures contained in the report and after the report had been
explained, Alderman Martin, Chairman of the Committee, stated that the Committee
were not recommending any action with reference to the subject by Council but were
furnishing complete information and the decision of Council, of course, was to rest
with them, with the hope that Council would be able to select the method of bandling
which would provide the best service and be the most economical.
Discussion then ensued as to whether refuse pick-spa were included in
the figures as made available to Council, and the need for daily pick-up in the
commercial areas was also discussed. The question was asked as to whether the
Committee had any information as to failure incidents on the part of Contractors in
this type of work, and Mr. Eidt suggested that the Committee would be pleased to
try and obtain some information in this regard and also, as to whether such Contractors
were attempting to operate on below par wage rates. Alderman Cotfield stated that be
was not in fayour of contracting out this type of service and His Worship suggested
that that type of discussion could come at a later date if warranted. The various
points concerning the handling of garbage and refuse having been considered at some
length, it was ordered on the motion of Alderman Mitchelson and Alderman Scott, that
the report as prepared by the Sanitation and Pollution Control Committee and sub-
milled to Council with reference to sanitation and waste removal for the year 1963,
and estimated costs, be received and tabled, in order that all members might
familiarize themselves with its contents and that the matter be finalized at the
next meeting,o~ the City Council. Carried Unanimodsly.
~ His Worship, Mayor Miller, advised Council that for some time he had
been considering the possibility of some form of room tax that might be applied
to tourist accommodation in the City of Niagara Fails, advised that he had recently
had his thinking confirmed by a gentleman in this type of business, He pointed out
that in round figures, there were 11,500 tourist accommodation rooms available
in Niagara Falls and that if only $6.00 per room was obtained by the operator a day,
that means $69,000.00 and that if a 5% tax was applied to this figure, it would result
in a very sizeable sum to the municipality in the term of a year. He also pointed
out the other forms of advantage to the municipality that would occur from this type
of levy and suggested to Oouncil that they give the matter some thought and that
possibly having considered the matter, action might be taken to request Provincial
empowering legislation.

FI~IANCE MEETING
Council Chamber,
21st,March, 1963.
The Com~ittee haylug aasembled~ Alderman George Martin, Chairman of the
Finance, took the chair and in cordnesting consideration of the Estimates, the
Chairman explained the difference in the proposed Mill Rates as contained in the
Draft Estimates and that the figures as shown do not include garbage, either for
carrying out or returning of containers. He advised that consideralien would be
given to f~ general increase when negotiaLions are entered into, with cexCain
adjnstments for Officials and members of the Staff. He also advised the Co~tttcc
as to what was contemplated with reference to Council remuneration as to Council
meetings and ComiCtee meetings, indicating that 1~ was proposed to increase the
remuneration for Council meetings ~o $20.00 and establish a limit that could be
paid Co a member of Council in osy one day, of $25.00 and chat the present rate
of remuueratton for ComiCtee time would remain the same~ but there would be a
possibility under this set-up to pay for as much as 3 comitCee meetings if held
in the one day. After some discussion it was also agreed that where a member of
Council had to attend a Co~nittee out of the municipality and involving eraveiling,
the rate of remuneration would be $10,00. The remuneration of the Mayor was thee
d~scussed and it was agreed tlta~ the ~6,000, shown in ~he Estimates.should be
~ncreased to $7~500. or a ma~Cer of $1,500.
The members of Council were then suppiLed w~th additional sheets entitled
"Proposed Salary Schedule for 1963" and this was discussed sheet by sheet. TIle
fIrs~ and second sheets were considered as satisfactory, but ~n connection ~eh the
third sheet, ~C was agreed that the salary of Mr. p. Brmman be ~ncveased from
,4,800. Co $4,900. as propo~ed, and the salary still be subject to any over-all
adJ us ~men~,
With reference to sheet 4, it was agreed that the proposed
salaries of Mr. D. Hughes and Mr. D. Shriner, be increased from $5,000. to ~5,100.
and that the designation "Jr". be removed with reference to Mr. Hughes.
With reference co the 5th. sheet, it was agreed that the proposed salary
of Mr, C. g. Stock be increased from $5,315.O0 to $5,500. and that of Mr. D. Allan
be increased from $3,967.20 to $4,200. The sixth, seventh and eighth sheets were
considered as satisfactory.
At this poi~t, the Chairman of Finance suggest'ed that thd members of tile'
Cormnittee consider the proposed Grants for 1963 as shown on pages 43, 44 and 4
The only changes suggested in the Grants as listed, were (a) that an item of $450.
be added for the Niagara Development Committee, (b) that $100. be added for the
Uelsh Festival of Song, and (c) that an item of $200. be added for the British-
1.~thodist Episcopal Church. During the perusal of the suggested Grant Items,
His Worship the Mayor suggested that with reference to tire Niagara District Safety
and Rescue Association, that the Clerk might check with the Niagara Parks Coumission
as to what request they had received with reference to supply of equipment.
The Grants having been considered, the Chairman suggested that the Conmtittee
ow go back to Page I and continue their perusal of the Estimates.
In connection with the section dealing with Administration Expenses and
with particular reference to what was included in other years for research on proposed
Amalgamation, Mr. Ruggins advised chat there was a credit standing in the hooks for
the former Township, of $7,200.00 which could be utilized for budgeting purchases.
~ When tile Section of the Budget was reached dealing with Sanitation and
Waste Removal, the Chairman pointed out to the Conunittee chat in the Estimates as
submittdd, no provision had been made for handling of garbage and waste, except by
the curb service method and warned the Conm~ittee that any consideration of ~ethods
other than curb service could quite definitely affect the suggested Mill rates.
Lengthy discussion was held on this subject and it was ordered oe the motion'of Aid.
McCallum and AId. Swayze, that sanitation and waste removal be rear yard pick-up for
the total area but with no return of the empty containers, An' mneudment by Ald.
Potter and Ald. Scott ordered that curb service only~ be established for the total
area, and an amendment to the amendment by Ald. Carfield and Aid. Morton ordered
that sanitation and waste removal be handled over the total area as had been done
in the old City of Niagara Falls. Discussion was then held with reference to the
motion and the two amendments and it was decided to leave the voting on the motion
and the amendments until the balance of the Budget had been perused.
The perusal was then continued, and in connection with the Sewer Department
item, a number of questious wets asked concerning the mounts provld~d for ~rivatc
sewer cl~ning and repairs, and following the questions, it was ordered on the motion
of Ald. Keighan and Ald. Scott that the municipality establish a nominal charge of
$j.00 for sewer calls (day) and $15.00 for nights, weekends or holidays. Following
further discussion on this topic it was decided to leave the voting also in abeyance
until they had completed perusal of the other items.
Continuing the perusal, am reaching the item dealing with dog control,
it was agreed that the amount for this purpose be increased from $16,882.38 to $18,500.
or an increase of $1,617.62.
The perusal of the Expenditure side of the Budget and the Revenue side having
been completed, the Chairman suggested that they should consider ways and means of,
if possible, making some cuts in the submitted estimates with a view to reducing the
amount of money which would be involved in the event of full garbage service being
provtded~ and the Chairman indicated that he would only favour the complete service
for the whole municipality providing several items, namely, the requested grader
being eliminated, representing $20,000.00 sewer cleaning operations being reduced,
in the amount of $10,000.00 and the building renovations for the old PUC being
sllmtnated, at a cost of $8,800.00, resulting in a reduction of, in round figures,
$40,000.00. The matter of sanitation and refuse disposal was again considered at
some length and since there seemed to be indications that the matter could not be
settled, without interfering with a unanimous vote of the Council on the proposed
budget~ it was moved by AId. Nitchaises and AId. Keighan that the Committee arise
and report to Council.

The Committee having assembled, Alderman George Martin, Chairman of Finance,
took the chair and explained the corrected figures with reference to the contemplated

that it was not bis intention to go into tile various details again whicb |mad been
explained to Council at the last meeting, and then proceeded to explain the attitude
of tile Planning Board that it would be desirable to have a complete interchange at
the intersection of the Q.E.W. and Stanley Ave. but he was of the opinion that the
Department of Highways have no intention of constructing such interchange, duc to
permits which have been issued by the Highways Department to adjacent properties in
the area. He referred to the financial benefits time municipality would receive through
additional assessment on such proposal, and also referred to the date of July 15th. or
16th. when option on the lands in question expire and for this reason his client was
anxious to get a decision. Aid. Kei~an queried the reason for the Ilighways Dept.
issuing permits if an interchange was planned and also the reason why the Planning
Board was not recoe~ending to the City Council approval of the application of Messrs.
Yerich for the rezoning of the property in question froin Residential to Tourist

of Mr. Logan's client until the 19th. of April, when the Traffic Study would be
available, and Mr. Logan had requested some type of definite answer, Re advised that
tile Planning Board feel that this is a very important intersection to the conmmnity
ned due to the fact that tile Department of Highways are paying a big portion towards
the Traffic Study~ the results of the Study will be important to any decision made
by Council. AId. Martin was of the opinion that it was not unreasonable to ask Mr,
Logan to wait until April 19th. and that the decision made by the Planning Board
could be changed and the application could still be left in abeyance until Council
have an opportunity to consider the Traffic Study and did not agree that it is a13
up to the Department of Highways whether an interchange is constructed at that
intersection; and was of the opinion that it was the responsibility of Council
and tile Planning Board to look to tile future. Ald. blitchelson concurred in the
remarks of Ald. bla~'tin and referred to the importance of thin intersection and Ih~
care that will have to be takcu in the development of the land in that area, and
was of tile opinion thees Mr. Logau was requested to be indulgent for about two
weeks Council would be placed in an awkward position to approve of an application
for fezcuing when tile traffic study had taken homer|me to prepare.

MISCELLANEOUS
AId. Scott requested an explanation concern|u5 double water rate bills
which he has received complaiuts about from residents, of tile former 'township of
Stamford, and the City Manager proceeded to explain the procedure taken to prepare
the water bills and tbc reason for the lateness in issuiug water bills, and
suggested that if there were any questions regarding the amount of the bills, tile
person complaining should get in touch with the clerk of the Water Department who
will explain the reason for such amounts.
AId. Martin queried whether citizens were receiving discount on watcr
bills, and referred to Account Number 25-409 who claimed no discount was allowed..
Aid. Keighan referred to the system that water rates must be paid in
advance and queried why this had not been publicized for tile bellefit of residents
of the former Township who had not been accustomed to paying water bills in advance.
The Alderman queried the possibility of having the City Uall open on Saturday
mornings to accommodate citizens who are down down paying bills and pointed out
that most people get off work at the same time the office closes duriug tile week
and therefore are not able to pay accounts at the City Hall. His Worship the
Mayor requested the City Manager to take this under advisement and submit a report
thereon. AId. 'K~ighan referred to the problem of littering of properties of
citizens around Beaverdmns Road~ Garner Road, etc. and queried as to tile submission
of a rep'ort on this, and pointed out that the residents are concerned and he felt
that this was a serious matter and should be dealt with. The City Engineer proceeded
to outline the steps taken to meet this problem in frout of the Greenspan property
and advised that because of tile amount of work with which tile staff is now involved,
it has not been possible to deal with the littering at the side of tile roads.
AId. Keighan referred to the reference made by the biayor to the possibility
of a room tax a few weeks ago, which had not met with much response from Council or
the public, and was of the opinion that a meeting should be held to discuss this and
ether possible sources of revenue. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Keighan and Ald.
Scott that a meeting be arranged so that Conncil may discuss this topic along with
o~her possibilities to establish sources of revenue for the municipality.

MISCELLANEOUS
His Worship Mayor Miller and Members of Council expressed their deep
concern over the decision of the International Silver Company, located at the corner
of River Road and Buttrey Street, to close their plant and move to Perth, resulting
in the unemployment of the silverworks employees. The opinion was expressed that
the Industrial Con~nissioner, whenever he has any knowledge of such possibility of
a firm transferring from this area to another, should immediately release this
information to Council in Conference in order that action might be instituted to
at least try to influence the firm to stay in this area.
It was then ordered on the motion of Ald. Keighan and Ald, Swayze that
any one present in the Council Chamber from the Internscions1 Silver Company,
wishing to be heard be granted permission. Mr. John Landry stated that all were
concerned over the Company~s announcement to move out of this area; the employees
had received a generous severance pay hut that any action would have to come from
either the Federal Government or the municipal government in finding jobs for those
laid off.
AId. Morton referred to the situation the other evening at the Area during
the hockey game when debris was thrown on the ice and small boys , not over 12
years of age, were sent out to clean up the same and that none of the regular Arena
employees had appeared to do this job. The City Manager advised that instructions
have been issued to the regular employees about performing such duties.
The Council then returned to the subject of the lay-off of International Silver
Company employees and Ald. Keighan saggeared that it might be helpful to some of the
men laid off to, while they have this severance allowance, to check with the Employment
Office about the possibility of enrolling in some of these vocational courses that are
paid for by ~ederal and provincial Government; that certain courses last from six
months to a year and remuneration is paid while a person is being trained. His Worship
Mayor ~iller suggested that any one interested, might contact Mr. Jos. Broderick on
Armoury Street, who would give all information available.
Ald. Swayze referred to the revised schedule of garbage pick-up and the
City Engineer outlined what the operation would be and that it is hoped that the
sew routes Would be in operation about the end of A~ril and residents will be
notified by handbill about their pick-ups and refuse collection days. He stated
that insolaf as possible, refuse will be picked up the same time as garbage collection.
His Worship Mayor Miller referred to a report of the last Council meeting
and the statement when he had first suggested the possibility of a room tax. ~e
advise that he had introduced the subject that night to get public re-action, and
that he did not want the impression to go abroad that he did not have the support
o[ Council~ because he was aware that Council had not had the opportunity to consider
His Worship Mayor Mtller then clarified an erroneous statement that had been
made in the press, concerning a letter which was said to have been addressed to the
Mayor. He stated that any communication addressed to ht~ as Mayor is not given to
the City Council, only those addressed to the Mayor and Council, and that the letter
in question was addressed to theMayor and Council and not to himselL
His Worship the Mayow expressed the desire to hold a special meeting of
Council on Wednesday, April 24'th. at 6 p.m. to consider two requests on hand, and
then go up to view the Fiorentino property in a body and return to the Council Chamber

Secretary of Local 133, Niagara Palls Civic Employees' Union, concerning contract-
ing out of City's garbage service, and advising of contact made with Ottawa,
Cornwall, Hull, and Kitchener and information received did not support statements
made in the letters received by Council from the Union Secretary. ORDERED on the
motion of Ald. Keighan and Ald. Scott that the con~aunication be received and
Council explore immediately the possibility of contracting out of the garbage
service. This motion was lost by a vote of 8 to 2, the vote being - Aye -Ald,
Keighan, Scott; Nays - AId. Swayze, Martin, McKinley, Mitchelson, M~Callum, Potter,
Morton and Corfield. Prior to this action, Ald. Keighan stated that he thought
with the additional information.he had obtained, that it might ~e sufficient to
at least have Council look into the matter a little bit further and that it was
his understanding that some of the other municipalities which he had not contacted,
had even better service than those he had heard from. He stated that he had not
been shown by anyone where he was wrong in his recommendation and it ~a~ his opinim~
that the suggested savings are considerable enough to warrant further investigation,
and that the men who have been placed on the present garbage service are temporary
men. Ald. Morton referred to the Ottawa set up and stated that it was his under-
standing that the City of Niagara Palls gives a different service as restaurants
and hotels are serviced every day.
At this point, on the motion of Ald. Morton and Ald. Keighan, Mr. w. Snyder was
given permission to speak on this communication. He queried the definition of a
pressure group and stated that the Merger was set up to improve the service and
that any contracting out of garbage services would reduce the salaries of the men
employed on this work or reduce the services.
AId. Corfield was of the opinion that there was absolutely no comparison in the
services given by the City of Niagara Fails and these other municipalities since
our population doubles in the tourist season.
Ald. Martin was of the opinion that the garbage service in the old City of Niagara
Palls for the past 25 years has been adequate and that any change would be a step
back"wards. The Aid erman stated that 1963,which was to be a trial year, Council
should assess the Budget and if it was found that expenses were rising higher than
the taxpayer could cope with, the garbage collection would be one way of making a
study at that time; it was his feeling that there have be~n a lot of controversial
discussions about the garbage pick-up and if it were carried on much longer, it
would create a problem between the residents of the former Township and those of
the City and that Council should get on with other items before them and'if ~o~e
study is made to cut down on expenditures, this should be made at the end of 1963.
Ald. Mitchelson advised that although his stand was not with the majority on the
garbage pick-up issue, he would not support the motion of Ald. Keighan, and in
reference to Alderman Martin's statement concerning the setting of a weight

Manager and Engineer have been working on this problem; the one individual carrying
on salvage operations adjacent to the property is endeavouring to clean the place
up while the other person has refuse4 and he will be prosecuted. In answer to
Mr. Gagliardi~s query as to who would pick up the papers in his yard, the Mayor
advised that there is a possibility that the Court might direct the party
responsible to go and do it.
The City Engineer proceeded to outline the action taken to date on
this problem and advised that Mr. Greenspan had advised that as soon as weather
conditions permitted, he would pick up the paper from his building, and the paper
has been picked up. The City Engineer advised that there is quite a problem due
to litter blowing off trucks travelling on the road. He further advised that as

municipality.
On the motion of Ald. Mitchelson and Ald. Morton, Mr. Grandoni was

in the Council Chamber at approximately 6.40 p.m.
FIRE DEPARTMENT MATTERS
His Worship Mayor Miller advised that the first item of business would
be a discussion of matters pertaining to Fire Department operation. In this
connection, the following items were read;
1. Recommendation of the Ontario Fire Marshal, conmencing at page 6, in the report
from this Office dated December 7th, 1962.
2. Letter from Stanford Fire Department Executives, dated September 19th, 1962.
3. Letter from the Niagara Falls Fire Department, dated January 14th, 1963.
Letter from Chief W. T. Wade, dated August 30th, 1962.

6. Extracts from the current Contract with the Niagara Falls Professional Fire

8. Section 5 of the Fire Department Act setting out the period of 120 days after
a request has been received, for entering into Contract negotiationsincluding
Vacation Schedules, etc.
Following the reading of the above items, some discussion took place in respect
to the basic principles desired in the set-up of a Fire Department for the
enlarged municipality. Discussion then centred around the proposed Vacation
Schedule which had not yet been posted because of disagreement over vacation
times among certain of the fireman. It was noted that the City Manager had
suggested to the men that flexibility existed in the proposed schedule to some
degree. Following the discussion it was ordered on the motion of Alderman McCallum,
seconded by Alderman Corfield, that the City MAnager be instructed to advise the
Union representatives that the Union Contract will be followed as far as the
posting of the Vacation Schedule is concerned. Carried Unanimously.
It was also ordered on the motion of AId e rman Martin, 'seconded by Alderman
Mitchelson that the City of Niagara Falls go on record as passing a By-law to set
up one Department.and that the Municipal Council appoint.a Chief and two Deputy~
Chiefs and that a Committee of Council be set up to meet with the executive part
of the Firs Department to iron out details as to permanant smployees, volunteers,
and bring a full report back to Council. Carried Unanimously.
Hayor Miller then appointed the members of the Negotiating Committee to act as the
Committee named in the resolution.
aldarmsn Nartin then asked for a clarification as to how the appointment of the
Chief and of the two Deputy Chiefs would be made and it was decided that the
appointments would be made by City Council, on recommendation of the Negoation
Committee, and that because of the nature of these appointments, this would be one
of the first items of business for the Committee.
The City Manager then reported on the moving of the Stamford Fire
Alarm system presently located at the Police Building on Montrose Road
and Lundy's Lane, to the Walnut Street Fire Hall, where there would be one
fire number with six lines to be connected directly with all the Fire Halls.
It was decided that the City Manager should discuss the matter in detail
with the Bell Telephone Company and bring in a report for Council on Monday night.
Alderman Martin was excused from the balance of the meeting, at the end of the
discussion on Fire matters.
FIORENTINO MATTER
The City Manager reviewed the various stages of building construction at
the Fiorentino property, including the dates various permits were issued for new
buildings, and the renovations required after the fire in 1961. It was explained
chat due to sympathy for the family in 1961 no complaint had been received from the
neighbouts about the rebuilding of the business. It was pointed out that a building
permit had been issued for the construction of a garage in 1957 and in reality this
building had been used as part of the business. At this time, Alderman McCallum
was excused from the balance of the meeting.
During discussion of the matter it was pointed out that an application had
been made to the Committee of Adjustment in respect to an extension to the business.
The Hearing in this respect had taken place on April 23rd, but the Board had not
given a decision. It is expected that if the application is not approved that the
Solicitor for the Fiorentino interests will refer the matter to The Ontario
Municipal Board. A further discussion of the entire matter took place, but no
conclusion was reached and the matter was tabled.
It was ordered on the motion of Ald. Potter and Ald. Scott that the meeting
adjourn.

At this time, His Worship introduced Mr. Wm. Pigerr of Pigott Construction
Company, and Mr. Evans, Solicitor for Pigerr Construction Company, and Mr. Evans
was requested to give a somewhat detailed analysis of their request for provision
of a one-way loop from Stanley and Buchanan Avenues, which would have access to the
Queen Elizabeth Way. Mr. Evans then proceeded to explain why his client wished to
have this development take place and reiterated the request that Council now give
approval.
A rather lengthy discussion then ensued during which Alderman Martin
suggested to Mr. Evans that he might consider that the resolution now in his
possession passed by Council earlier this year (1963) and indicating Council would
assist insofar as it was within their power, should be sufficient at least until
such time as the forthcoming Traffic Study has been received and processed by Council,
The Alderman felt it was essential that Council should be aware of the implications
of the Traffic Study before any definite commitments are ~ade to Pigott Construction
Company.
There seemed to be general concurrence with the suggestions of Alderman
Martin by both the members of Council and Mr. Evans and following some further
discussion it was agreed that Mr. Evans as Solicitor for Pigott Construction Company
should formulate another draft resolution embodying the requests contained in the
first resolution and that with reference to Section (a) of the resolution, it
should provide for establishing one-way traffic on Stanley Avenue southerly, between
Ferry St. and Murray St, and one-way traffic north on Buchanan Ave. between Ferry St.
and Murray St. and that Section (b) of the first resolution as submitted be approvcd
and Section (2) of the first resolution also be ~pproved with the exception that in
the second line the word (Parkway) be changed to read "Park Boundary".
With reference to tile above agreement, Alderman McOallum was not in accord
with the suggested change to Section (a) and Alderman Scott was not in accord with
tile adoption of Section (b),
It is understood by both parties that this re-drafted resolution would be
prepared and made available to Council for its decision at the next meeting scheduled
for Monday, June lOth.
It was then ordered on the motion of Ald. Morton and AId. Cotfield that the meeting
adjourn,

BY -LAWS
Laid over from the previous mcetin~;~
N0. 6352 - Being a by-law to ameud the former Township of Stam£ord By-law No. 2530,
as amended.
ORDERED on the motion of Aid. Keighan and AId. McKinley d~at the by-law
be tabled for further study before any action is taken. Carried Unanimously,
Prior to the above action, a full discussion was held during which Aid.
Keighan referred to the discussion which had takeu place at tile joint meeting of
the Planning Board and Council, and the resolution passed that recommendations made
at that time be included in the proposed by-law. lie pointed out that he had
supported the recommendation at the joint meeting but wished to give a few reasons
why he did not intend to support the by-law. Ald. Keighan advised that he bad
considered the impact on property owners in that area and also on the development
which will be curtailed if the by-law is passed and was of the opinion that tile
by-lm~ was designed to make it necessary for everyone on Lundy's ~ane who owns
property to ~ave to tear down his house if he wished to build a conmercial establish-
moat, except where there is at least a 60-foot frontage; and he was of the opinion
that a~section of Lundy's Lane is needed to allow development by small business
operators, and that more consideration should be given to the rights of individual
pr0pertyowners, and that this by-law eliminates the possibility of anybody of
average means putting a business on the north side of Lundy~s Lane, between Dorchester
Road and Drummond Road,
Several property owners on Lundy's Lane were permitted to speak, namely,
Mr. Murray, 2801 Lundy~s Lane, ~. Dixon, Mr. Pfieffer, Mr. Lee, Mr, Bessey and
they all voiced opposition to the passing of the proposed by-law. Mr. Wm. Booth,
speaking on behalf of Mr. J. Zarra, also opposed the by-law and was of the opinion
~hat all persons from Lundy~s Lane attending the Council meeting were in agreement
~hat this portion of Lundy's Lane is suited ,only for commercial use. Mr. Booth
stated that, in his opinion, this proposal was another example of the autocratic
p01iey of the Planning Board regarding the rights of average property owners.
AId. Mitchelson proceeded to outline the complete history of the Zoning
By-law or by-laws, affecting Lundyls Lane and the manner in which these were placed
in effect, pointing out that ample opportunity was given for individuals who were
opposed to this control to express their views. Aid. Mitchelson referred to the
criticisms which had been levelled at the Planning Board during discussion this
evening, which, in his opinion, were unjust|fled, pointi.ng out that the Members of
~he Board gave very freely of their time and talents and that results of activities
of the Board speak for themselves,

of weeds and the fact that her child is allergic to these and requested that the

the matter be referred to the City Manager for mediate action.
- Aid. Keighan arrived at the meeting -
Former Alderman, Faho Martin, was also present and on the motion of Ald.
McKinley and Ald. Martin was permitted to speak. He referred to the recent meeting
of the City Manager of Niagara Fells, Ontario and the City Manager of Niagara Falls,
New York, concerning regulations to be followed by the Helicopter operators and ad-
vised that the helicopters were still cutting across Leader Lane and flying lower
than 1,000 feet during lands and less than 2,000 feet during flights. The City
Manager was requested to take this complaint under advisement and see that it is
rectified.
Mr. Ralph Girozan, proprietor of the T~in-City Restaurant was present and
on the' motion of Ald. McKinley and Ald. Morton was permitted to speak. He referred
to By-law Number 6385, which will be given two readings at this meeting, and which
authorizes the widening of Ferry Street frnmMain St. to Stanley Ave. He advised
that he had made a survey of business establishments in this area and all objected
to the City cc~amencing work on sidewalks on August 15th/which would interfere
with traffic, parking facilities and the entrance and exit of p~tr0ns to the vari-
ous places of business on the street. He recommended that the work be delayed
until the end of September. The City Manager advised that it was never the inten-
tion to tear up the sidewalk in front of Mr. Girozan's restaurant starting August
15th, which would interfere with traffic, parking facilities and the entrance and
exit of patrons to the various places of business on the street. He recnmmended
that the work be delayed until the end of September. The City Manager advised that
it was never the intention to tear up the sidewalk in front of Mr. Girozan's rest-
aurant star~ing August 15th. The reason August 15th was mentioned was that there
are certain areas on Ferry St. nor particularly affected by tourist b~siness'and if
work is not c~nced until the end of September, not enough work wo~ld be completed
before the weather changes. The City Manager assured Council that there would be
very little interference with the tourist business on Ferry Street.

motion of Ald. Morton and Ald. Swayze that Mr. Gordon be permitted to address Council.
Mr. Gordon stated' that the citizens of Niagara Falls were not ~ware of the proposal
of Messrs. Bolus, Revalas &Bolus to construct a platform over property acquired from
the N.Y.C. Railroad, and suggested that if such a platform was constructed that the
public would be charged to enter thereon. He also stated that any air rights granted
would mean the height of buildings couldbe unlimited, and felt that additional build-
ings at this location would only serve to block out the Falls. Upon the completion of
Mr. Gordon's remarks, and on the motion of Ald. Morton and Ald. Mitchelson, Mr. W. C.
Booth was granted permission to address Council. Mr. Booth advised that he was speak-
ing on the subject as a taxpayer of the Municipality only. Mr. Booth stated that at
the time of construction of the Seagram Tower, the principals were granted relief from
the provisions of the Township By-laws because it was stated that they were never
going to use the rear of the property over the Railway lands. Mr. Booth felt that
there was an obligation to the taxpayers and public at large in preserving the view
of the Falls from this area. He stated that the right to view the Falls was a vested
interest, or right, to the ratepayers of the Municipality, and in particular, the
adjacent owners. After the completion of Mr. Booth's remarks it was degided that sev-
eral of his statements would be taken under advisement by the Solicitor. The question
of the high fence erected near the Burning Spring property was also mentioned, and
also the suggestion that the condition that the proposed platform be free of charge
to the public be inserted in any site plan agreement with the principals. 0RDE~ED on

the City Solicitor and the Planning Bosrd's report and that it was s q'~sti~,n wh~ther
Council wanted to approve of th~ Area Planning Board's ~ction as ~',t]{De,7 ~n their
letter of Sept. 23. It was then ordered on the motior oF AId, ~.~ayze and A~d.McCal].um
that Mr. Wm. Booth be heard. Mr. Booth advised that he wss in como3ete accord
the remarks of Ald. Mor~on end once aDoroyal was g~ven it w~uTd be oxtremeFv hard
control. ~e City Clerk then advised Council that when it was knnwn thst ~e
cltor's repo~ was to be submitted st this meeting, the individuals interested in this
mtter were notified, and be was now speaking for Mr. W. 2, MuM;in who was not able
to be present at this meeting, and that Mr. Martin has asked him to te~] Co,moil he
reite~tes his previous stand as contained in the last oaragrsoh of his letter to
Co~cil of Sept. 27th. Ald. Martin indicated that he was quite satisifed with the
repo~ of the City Solicitor and that with reference tn the ranoft of the P]ann~nK
Board, he was still oF the opinion that if the o~ers wished ~o ~o to the trouble oC
draving up a site plan agreement for Council's observation be cou]8 see Do hs~ ~f
o~ers wanted to pre~re plans to oresent to Council for observation. AId. M~tche]son
concurred with AId. Ma~ln and ~ms of the nninion that if the Company concamped is
not Prepred to pre~re a site plan then the Drob]em w~]d end the~ and that the
Soltcitor's repo~ answers the legality of a site clan; that acceDtlng the Solicitor's
report and approving of the Planning B~rd'$ reco~endation does not indicate the
issuance of a ,building penft. Ald. Keighan queried whether the City Solicitor was
familiar with the Board's reco~endation and was of the opinion that if Comet]
aPproved.. of the Pla~ing Board's reco~endatton as contained fin their letter and the
aPPlicants then came along and agreed with ever~hing Council requested in the site
Plan, that Co~cil has admitted themselves to selling of sir rights to the proposed
Purchaser. He us of the opinion that this was an i~o~;ant enou~ decision for the
entire Planning Board and the entire Co~ctl to meet and discuss.
The City Solicitor agreed that the plans would necessarily have to be
sPproved before the Planning Board give their consent to the subdivision, because
this is the control that Council has over them at the present time, but that when
the consent is given that the property is rezoned for certain purposea then it is
very difficult to refuse to issue a building permit if it meets all the requirements
of the building by-laws of the municipality. He advised that the time for getting
the site plan approved is before consent is given to subdivide the property. The
Site plan should be a complete plan at that stage rather than leaving it to be nego-
tiated at a later date when application is made for a building permit. He submitted
that the complete site plan should be made available before the Planning Board gives
their permission to subdivide the property rather than leaving it until application
for a permit temade] that the site plan agreement should be completed before permis-
side is given by Planning Board to subdivide the property.

the south, Mr. & Mrs. Dietz. He outlined the action taken by the O.M.B. when his

appeared that the applicants could not furnish a 66 foot roadway, the application was
changes so there could only be two apertment units, both frontlog on Do/minced Road

C(I~dUNICATIONS
Laid over from previous meeting;
No. 562 - Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board - "A Town Plan for Niagara Falls.
His Worship Mayor Miller called the meeting to order and then turned procedure over
to Mr. Earl Thomas, Chairman of the Niagara Falls and Suburban Area Planning Board,
who briefly explained what the Board is trying to do with reference to a Town Plan,
and asked Mr. John Philip, Secretary-T~easurer, to read the condensed version of the
Official Plan Studies. Mr. Philip read the first 16 pages and the City Clerk took
over from that point.
Following the complete reading of the Plan Studies, Mr. C. G. Dowson,
Planning Director, was requested to explain the several maps of the Planning Area de-
picting districts and proposed use areas, and answered various questions directed to
him. The discussion was very extensive and at one point dealt specifically with the
matter of hotels and otherwise with the various factors of the Plan as it may be fin-
ally expected to come into being. Alderman George Martin queried how this matter
would be handled from this point assuming that the Town Plan was approved in principle.
and Mr. Dowson explained the various steps which then would be implemented, in the
first instance by the Planning Board and eventually by the City Council, with, df
course, the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board. His Worship Mayor Miller had
several queries to make which were all replied to by Mr. Dowson and some discussion
was held concerning the future of the south side of Lundy's Lane frc~ Drummond Road
to Dorchester Road. It now having reached 5 p.m., it was agreed that the meeting
adjourn for supper at the Rapids Tavern and that the meeting would re-convene at 6:30
p.m.
The Council and Planning Board re-convened in Joint session at 6:50 p.m.
and further discussion was held concerning the Lundy's Lane area, particularly side
yards, and following a lengthy discussion on the several aspects of the proposed plar~
and its implementation it was ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Mitchelson and AId. Scott
that the report of the Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board with reference to
the proposed Town Plan for the City of Niagara Ealls be adopted in principle subject
to qualification, and that the Planning Board be authorized to proceed with arranging
for the necessary public meetings. Carried with His Worship ~yor Miller opposed.
Prior to the putting of the above motion His Worship Mayor Miller advised that he too
approved in principle the report of the Planning Board, but was voting against its
adoption since he Objected to the definition of "hotel" as contained in the report-
No. 522 - Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board - Consent Application C-159,
Canada Southern Railway Co. to Bolus. As a result of the action of the .City Council
at their meeting held on October 21st, the matter of the Consent Application of Can-
ada Southern Railway (N.Y.C.) to Bolus, Part Range 22 through to Range lO, east of
Portage Road, was now put before the meeting for discussion and to obtain the views
of the Planning Board, together with an explanation of what was entailed in the event
that the consent is given. Mr. Dowson, Planning Director, on request, explained
what the application involves on the part of Bolus, Revelas and Bolus Limited,
namely;
(a) To protect the frontal portion of their property,
(b) To have an observation platform erected which would improve the view,
(c) To reduce the noise and dirt which now emanate from the N.Y.C. Railroad tracks.
Mr. Dowson also reviewed the stipulations requested by his-Board prior to considera-
tion of a Consent Application (see letter to Mr. Dibble of N.Y.C. System), and stated
that it was his impression that the Plaza which might come into being. later would be
available for public use free of charge. In this latter connection it was agreed
that it would be well to have this factor of free use spelled out.
In general discussion which ensued, Alderman Keighan expressed the
view that he would like some form of commitment from the Railway that they would
· not consider any further sale of air rights over their right-of-way extending south
from Livingstone Street to McLaod Road.
Alderman Mitchelson was of the opinion that with the controls which
are now vested in the City Council, that the Municipality+ seemed to be adequately
protected in the event the necessary site plan agreement· is entered into... Following
further discussion it was ORDERED on the motion of Airierman }{ei ~han s~d
M~tchelson that the resort of the City .c~]~c~t. or ~nd the co~u~c~t~ Frc~ the

ence to the lands on the north side of Lundy's Lane between Drummond Road and Dor-
chester Road, which includes the lands of his clients Joseph and Lucy ?arra. He

Seagram Tower, and particularly the proposed sale of air rights over the railway
right-of-way. During the discussion which ensued, it was pointed out to Mr. Booth
that the Planning Board was dealing only with the consent application and authority

the matter would have to be brought back to the City Council Tot final decision.

sideration to matters of this nature and advocated that the Planning Boardbe re-
quested to publicize hearings of this type so that interested parties could avail
themselves of the opportunity to be present during the discussions and went so far
as to say that if this type of publicity were not utilized, that he would take the
stand that the Planning Board Members should resign. He also accused the Planning
Board of being harsh, autocratic and oppressive and challenged the Planning Board to
hold their hearings in front of the public and to come to a recorded vote. Ald.

ond Road and stated that he represented a number or persons in that vicihity who were

that the plans indicate that there is no breach whatever of the side yard requirements
and that there will be no need to proceed with original application which was made to
the Committee of Adjustment; and therefore requested that a permit be issued.
The City Manager advised that the plans as now submitted showed that the
proposed construction would be 10 feet from the east property line and 10 feet from
the west property line and had enough information on the plans to issue permit to pro-
ceed with excavation and foundation wells. Mr. SheDpard stated that if a building
permit is granted, application to the Committee of Adjustment would be abandoned.
In answer to a query by Ald. McCallram as to what action Mr. Booth could pos-
sibly take to stop the issuance of this building permit, the City SOlicitor stated.
that if litigation is threatened, Council should not discuss legal merits of the
question.
OI~E~I~ED on the motion of Ald. McCalltun and Aid. McKinley t~Aat Mr. Booth be
heard. Mr. Booth advised that he represented property owaers and also himself as
owner of the property, as trustee, on the corset of Lundy's Lane and Drummond Road,
and strongly objected tO the application and stated that further action is contem-
plated if the building permit is issued.
A len~hy discussion was held, during which interpretation of former Tramship
l~-law 2530 was questioned by Mr. Booth, and he also stated that, in his opinion,
final action On this matter should be delayed until there was a full Council present
and until the City Solicitor had presented a report as to the application's compliance
with ZoninS By-law
Following further discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Aid. McCallurn
and Ald. Mitchelson that the building pexlnit be issued, subject to the conditions
adopted in the Property C~ittee's report Number 673, dated 0cto~er elst. Carried,
with Aldersan Swayze and Alderman Morton - contrary.
The 01ty Manager advlsed that a building permit covering excavation onl~ at
the present ~e will be issued and then when detailed plans are completed, the balance
of the permit will be issued and that the provisions upon which the buildin~ permit is
to be issued, will appear on the excavation permit, and the foundation-up-to-ground-
level permit. '

ROOMTAX
His Worship, Mayor Miller, referred to the opposition expressed by the Visitor
and Convention Bureau of the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce of the proposed Room
Tax, which appeared in the Evening Review on December 20th, and advised that he was tak-
ing this opportunity of replying. His Worship the Mayor then expressed his views stating
that it was time for all to pull together in the interests of the City and the citizens
of Niagara Falls, and he did not agree that the Room Tax would constitute an unfair bur-
den to the Tourist Industry; that his proposal was not to harm the City but to help the
City and its taxpayers. He pointed out that this type of income properly applied to the
tax structure would result in lower taxes. His Worship the Mayor then referred to the
196S contribution of $20,000. to the Visitor and Convention Bureau, to promote the
Tourist Industry, which he heartily endorsed, but he pointed out that private industry
does not come to the taxpayers and ask for financial aid to further promote their inter-
ests. He also referred to the contribution in 196B, in the amount of $22,000. to the
Industrial Committee for industrial promotion and queried as to the merits of lowering
industrial taxes which would be just as good as money as a selling point for the Indus-
trial Committee.
Ald. Corfield, one of Council's representatives on the Tourist Committee of the
Chamber, referred to the garbage collection and traffic congestion brought about by
tourist influx and was of the opinion that a Room T~x should not be a hardship on
tourists and he advised that it was the intent of the Committee, although a vote was
not taken, to appoint a Committee to appear before Council and voice their objections to
a room tax. ~
Ald. Keighan, one of Council's representatives on the Industrial Committee of
the Chamber, advised that he had supported the Mayor's recommendation concerni~g a
room tax and would continue to do so, stating that there were not too many sources of
revenue where the municipality can obtain funds and the Mayor's suggestion seemed
reasonable. He was of the opinion that tourist establishment operators are in business
to make money, and it was not exactly fair to refer to the amount of taxes paid into
the City by these establishments. The Alderman stated that he agreed in particular
that there is no other industry that gets support like the Tourist and Convention Com-
mittee.
Ald. Scott, one of Council's representatives on the Tourist Committee of the
Chamber, also referred to the fact that Council were elected by the whole City to rep-
resent and do the best that can be done for the citizens, and this was one.of the
reasons why he would continue to support the proposal of a room t~.
