that if o~_e or two c~w~ttees of Council had been available the Ccmpan~ repre-
sentatives could have been interviewed in ea~ttee. Alderman McKinley stated
it miSbt not be out of order to refer the matter to the a~,~ c~,tttee which
had previously considered the present manner of proceesing'mun~cilml matters,etc.
In referrin~ to a specific instance dealin~ with public knowledge of a c,wmittee
of the whole matter, Alderman McKinley stated that while he had disa~reed with
the viewpoint of a l~rticular m~=ber of Council, he would fight for his right to
have his comments r~nmin in committee of ~be whole.
Alderm-~ Bowhie w4'~ had ascertained he was the member of Council to whom
All. Mcw~n]~y had referred., c-re,anted on the Alderman' s remark t.hat he had
violently disagreed with his c~mn~nts, and stated he would be prepared to debate
this particular subject with him. In resme~ to the matter of handlin8 matters
in comnittee of the whole, Ald. Downie stated that this confirae~ what he. had
viousl~ subSsated that Council should return to a limited ocmnittee e~etem..
His Worship Ma~or stated that he was of the opinion that there was n~thing
wro~ with the present Can~ittee of the Whole method, and that members of Council
were on their henour not to divulSe anything until it comes to Open Council.
Alderman McCallurn stated he was in fayour cf the su~Ses~ion regardin~
formation of .mallet ccmnittees. Individuals and d~le~atioas could address the
ccmsittees first, rather than bet~ required to address Council. The Alderman
was also of the opinica that some Aldenmen should sit ca the eonmittee to consider
the parebase of municipal e~uipment. His Worship Ma~or Hilllet was of the opinion
that the whole Council should be aware of e~uilmsnt purchases.
Aldermen Hitcheleon stated that the previous committee set UP to

Policy re: park requirements for subdivisions.,
Ald. McCall~n referred to a recce~endation made in Report No. 83
considered earlier in the meeting, whereby the subdivider of the proposed
plan would be required to dedicate ~ of the ~nd for park purposes, rather
than a cash contribution in lieu thereof. . 'The Alderman queried if there
was a policy followed in this respect. The City Engineer explained the
procedure followed, and indicated that if the City can. get a park in an area
where it will fit where the planning Board suggests 'there should he one, if
it is large enough; or if the City can get an area where a park would be
e~tended; then a rec~-~ndation will be made that land ha dedicated for perk
purposes.
Convention Centre
.. ~ld. Puttick eaa~essed His 'Worship Mayor Miller, and stated that ~ to 3
weeks previously he had asked if he had done anything in respect to a conven-
tion centre for the City, and referred to the Minutes of'~he.council Meeting
of July 17, 1967 where he had put forth a proposal conce~n'ing a convention
centre and the motion which Council had adopted at that time. Ald. Puttick
then asked if the City could ask the Hnourable Miss J. V. IaMarsh for fin~:ncial
assistance or ~n,~s for such a convention centre. His Worship Mayor Miller,
in replying to Alder,~- Puttick, stated that the motion ~assed by Council had
lndica~ed' that the Mayor be given permission to look into the matter of a large
Convention .hall. On July 18, 196~, the day after the motion was passed, a
press release had announced the pl~ue of Sheraton Brock Hotel to build a con-
vention hall, 'and when this release came cut, Mayor Miller indicated ha did
nothing more about it, since ha was of the opinion'tha~ since private enter-
pries vould .be ttudex~q~ng this pro3ect which would be started in the spring
of 1969, there was no reason for the City to also build a centre and to involve
the taxpayers. Mayor Miller also stated there was nothing in the m~ion
that he was to contact the Coveant or ask for financial consideration.
AId. Oraae~"mP stated that he believed when the announcement was made by
Sheraton Brocb Mayor Miller was relieved of his. responsibility on this par-
ticular matter. Alder,~- Downie stated that he felt Mayor Miller had taken
the right action, end suggested that Nayor'Miller outline the events in a repor~
to Council and this %~tld finaiize the matter. . His Worship Mayor Miller
indicated that he would su~it such a 'repo.~t to the next Council meetir~.
Ms% of priorities
All. Graa6k~mp suggested that a list of priorities could be prepared to
determine what is needed first in the City to overcome the serious problems
faced, and was .Of the opinion ~hat the re,lo.catiun of the New York .Central
Bailroad was a top priority. - '

Council Chamber,
~ehrunr~ 13,
A Special Meet!~ of Council wa~ held on Tuesday, February 13, 1968 ccm-
mencing at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose', of discussing Volume 2 of the Urban
Renewal Report entitled "The 8cheme".~ All Members of Council were present
with the exception of Alderman Bearer. Aid. Mitchelson arrived at the meeting
at 9:50 p.m. His Worship Mayor F.; J. Miller presided,
_Representatives _in_atte_n_dan_ce_:
N. H. Richardson, Executive p!A-ner, Acres Research & Planning Ltd.,
P. F. grialA-d, Senior planner, Acres Basearch & planning Ltd.,
J. 8zarvas, H. O. Acres & Conpany Ltd.,
R. Pagani, H- G. Acres &Ccmpany Ltd.,
A. Greaves, planning Director, Niagara Falls & Suburban Area planning Board,
E. Hulsman, planner, Niagara Falls & Suburban Area planning Board.
G. Airridge, Chairman, Urban REnewal Cc~nittee.
Mr. Richardson outlined that Volume 2 encc~l~ssed urban renewal in that
area that has bec~ne known as the Central Business District.. BEcause the '
area contained the greatest concentration of c~ercial establishments, it was
absolutely essential to prepare a thoro,,~n marketing survey. As is apparent,
the ~ueen Street business area is in direct competition to shopping centres in
adjacent cities and other husi~_ess areas of the City. The unique situation
created by these factors conplloated the market study.
S,..m~rizing from Volt~e X, Pa~e 8, Mr. Richardson reviewed the forcoasted
d_~.A~4 for floor slace in the C.B.D and obvious difficulties to he overcome
in the develol~nent of the area.
Mr. Richardson briefly outlined the proposals contained in Volume lI:
1) Provide for the expansion of businesses on Queen Street as far as market
will permit.
2) Overc_~_ five prohi-emn outlined in Voleroe I.
~) Exploit the business potential contained in Volt~e I.
The expenditures during the first five year period would he heavy as it
' forms the base for the entire renewal Scheme. ~ne estimated cost would be ~
one-half million dollars -(~O-25-25 basis with higher levels of government -
Federal and Provincial~ This initial period would be concentrated primar-
ily in the C~een Street area with the erection of subsidized housing. Future
years would entail expansion of the scheme easterly to the River Road with the
erection of tourist facilities, ie: - hotels, etc.-
Mr. Cri~Aud then'elaborated on the points briefly outlined by Mr.
Richardson. Basically, the first 5 years does not provide a notable amount
of c~tm.ercial opportunity as much as upgrading existing c~mercial enterprises.
The improvement of traffic flc~ would be introduce~ ~,,~ing this initial period
as well as the enlar~-~_ut of parking facilities. Traffic circulation would
be undertaken, keepin8 in mind that C~Aeen Street would be closed and a pedes-
tr!~_~ mall created. RE suggested that C~Aeen Street miSht be closed duriu8
the s,_~xne_r months as a trial period within the first few years of the scheme.
This would then provide an indication of the acceptability of a permanent closing
at a later date.
'Mr. Cridland .cutlined the location of the I~rking areas that would he
created in the first five year stage. This procedure would require the
clearance of scae housin8 within the C.B.D. Xn an effort to provide for
s_~,~ daBtee of relocatica facilities to replace the 10st housing acc_~mmodation,
the scheme p~oposes to erect Ontario Housing facilities in the Sirecos - St.
Clair - Ellis Street area.
The seecad stags w~xld initiate davelol~ent of the area to the east of
~he C.B,D. to the Niagara River. A~ditional parking facilities would be
created as well as retail and acc~esodaticu facilities. The latter item
would be available in the fore of touris~ facilities.
The Third Stage would involve expansion to the west and would require
property ac~uisition and demolitic~ to provide l~rkin~ as well as the ex~an-
eion of exist4n_~ c~~""'Tcial business, Property would also be available for
the 10cation of ne~ c~-rclel activity.
The Fourth Stage would proceed northerly and enconpess additional comm-
ercial enterprise, parkS, retail activities and transportation facilities.
An opportunity was then given to Council mm,~ers to direct questions to
Mr. Richardsan or Mr. Cridland. Mr. Ric_~ar~son, answering an in~uix7 frc~
Aldex~an Bittick, stated that the City must restrict ccmnerclel dewelephant in
other parts of the City in order that c_r~"~rcial exl~usion may be directed to
the C.B.D. The expansio~ of shopping centres would therefore be in direct
ccmpetition with the C.B.D. He reminded the Council mashers that there is
only a certain degree of c~rc~al exl~nsion and that the urban renewal sc~.~_m~
anticli~tes that it will be directed, wherever possible, to the C.B.D.
Alderman Do~nie ~uestioned the number of buildings, if any, that would be re-
moved on Queen Street. The buil~4~_s to be removed ere eho~n on Plate 8
and tatal five in n~nber. Aid. Do~nie Questioned the de~ree of renewal if
onlF five buildings are to be removed. Mr. Richardson replied that besical]~y
it was a matter of dealers and cents. It was pointed out +-b~t the removal
of a limited number of buildings would provide an incentive for renewals by
private as well as public authorities as well as the rehabilitation of exlet-
in~m buildings.
Alderman D<Nnie ~uesti~d the dollar -,--unt sho~n in Table 12 for the
acquisition of lm~ for a police a~ministration building- Mr. Crialmud agreed
that the City would be required to pay full cost for the ac~uisition of cleared
~mnd. He elaborated that sev/~s would accrue to the Municipality.
;"1
Aldenan McKinley questioned the contemplated plans for the block of Erie
Avenue, both sides, from Park Street to Brid~e street. Mayor Miller suggested
that page ~ night provide an answer to AId. !!c~i~ley's ~uestion.~ Mr. Rich-
ardson pointed out that page ~ referred to "Cataract Scheme", be ~8 the de-
velol~ent enviseged in the second stage of the scheme. He pointed out that
the uncertainty of future transportation facilities and in pertlcu3Ar, their
possible relocation pmcttcallF made it impossible to formulate an~r sug~estlcl~
for the block of Erie Avenue ~uestloned by Aid. McKinley.
Alderm-n McXlnley s~ested that failure to revitalize this area would
provide a scab effect c~ the adjacent areas to be renewed. Also ~uestto~ed
was the possible relocation of the market s~uare and if it was considered in
the Park Street Axes.
14r, RIchardson replied that a market ~as not of major ~mportanse to the
urban renewal scheme. He pointed out that the market is shorn as being
replaced on lands which will he available to the Municipality.
Ald. grea~mmp ~Luestio_--_d the relocetion of the New York Central slmr
line. This relocation would not take place in the first s~age, but rather
in subee~uent Years. He~lying to Ald. Orae*~--p, Mr. Richardson outlined
tke disadvantages in creating a lan&tby pedestrian mall and in partlw,~mr, its
extension on Victoria Avenne. AId. Grasskeep ~tnestioned if an~ type of con-
veyance for pedestrians would be provided in the mell. Mr. Crldlaml replied
that this t~pe of facility was not considered and would probebl~ n~t prov~ -
robe ecc~alcelly feasible.
Aldex~an Prior qcectloned If the municipality mieht incur an~ liability
for desagss resulting free loss of business, etc., dux~ the ~npleaentatic~

He felt that the building might be used as a centre for the administration of
social services in the City.
Aid. Puttick submitted a sketch showing a.proposed market area in the
south end or centre of the City. He suggested that the business should be
spread throughout the City- The sketch submitted proposed the establishment
of the market square on Sylvia Piece. Ald. Puttick suggested hi~ propoasl
could be created for an approximate amount of $10,000.00. Mr. Richardson
replied that his firm had never given any indication that the market would be in
a~y location other than the Downtown area.
·Ald. Dewhie ~uestioned the amount of money proposed to he set aside for
parking during the next five years. The City Manager replied that in 1967
$2h0,000.00 would be set aside, and in 19~8-1969-1970, $1B~,000.00 would be set
aside for parking purposes.
Ald. Dcwnie asked if Ald. Puttick would substantiate his repeated state-
merit that $200,000.00 could be saved if the market were to be located on Sylvia
Place.
Ald. Graas~mp endorsed a suggestion of Alderman Scott that Huron Street
remain o~en fron Ontario Avenue to Erie .Avenue and that Park Street remain ol~n
frc~ St.lawrence Avenue to Victoria Avenue.
In reply to a question frc~ the City Manager, Mr. Richardson replied that
a bus terminal would be an acceptable use in the general area of Park Street
and Erie Avenue.
The City Manager r~mtnded Council members of the need to make provision
for a new police administration building and megistrate's court in the capital
budget allocations for the year 1968.
Mr. Gridland indicated that the urban renewal repor~ anticipated the
acquisition of 1-nds for the police asministration, and court house, in the
second and third year of the Scheme. He did, however, agree that the timing
could be advanced.
The City Manager questioned the amount to be allocated for urban renewal
purposes for capital budget ~"~~ purposes. Would the Consulting Firm agree
that a total expenditure of one million dollars as a gross amount would ba
realistic? Mr. Criam--d agreed that it would. The net cost to the muni-
cipality would amount to $250,000.00- Mr. Gridland pointed out that the
advancement of the t~mdng of the court-house and the police aRministratiou
building would ch-_~Se the net cost to the municipality
- Alderman Mitchelsc~ arrived at 9:50 p.m. -
Ald. Downie outlined the merit of patitioning the senior levels of gov-
ernment for a reduced rate of interest. The City Manager pointed out that
a provision does exist permitting the municipality to borro~ two-thirds of
the municipal share at a reduced rate. (page 69).
The City Manager asked direction for the disbursement of Copies I and II
of the Urban .Renewal Report. The Council requested that the City Manager
deter_m_!_~e the cost to the City of the individual copies and report his findings
at the next regular meeting.
His Worship Mayor Miller expressed the appreciation of Council for the
excellent presentation made by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Cridland.
It Was Ordered on the m~lon Of AId. McXinley, seconded by Aid. Prior that the
meetin~ adjourn.

C-m~uts re: soil eondittonn in Falls :~dustrisl Park.
Alder~mn Greatkemp ecemented that he had been very disappointed and
dlsplsased to read remarks made by a member of the Plannix~ Board reSardin~
soil conditions in the sew Industrial Park. He felt that the remarks could
have an effect on prospective purchasers in the cubdivision, and al~o undermine
the confidence of the Senera1 public aS well. He requested that an inm~diate
lnvestt~ati0~ be rode by the City ManeSet and City E~gineer end a report be
made to Council of the soil conditions in the Industrial Park. The. City
Engineer then advised tha~ he wa~ familiar ~lth this totter, sad stated that
he believed that the area used for deposit of dredee fill frc~ the Welland
River was ~ the East of Kieter Road, which is outside of the industrial su -
dirtaloft. He stated there was a very eraall section in the plan~ but this was
in a sectto~ reserved Zor front yard. Mr. Etdt stated that if members of
Council vould ~o out to the industrial 1Mark they could view the 1L_~_e Of sa
old farm house and also a number of very old trees, ~hich were certainl~ there
before the dred~in6 was dcue. He w~s:of-tha opinion %h~t Council ~eed not'worry
about this problem. Ald. Greas~m.~ stated that the En~ineerin~ Depert~mnt
should prelmre a map on which all the areas ~here dredge fill was deposited
could be shown. The City Engineer advised that he could do this sad could also
h~ve sc~e test holes bored.

property cn Wilson Creseent~ end it had been breuSht to his attention that a
small child had to be reseued frcua water filled area here. The Alderman
stated he had contacted the City ManeSet and a snow fence had been erected around
the area. The 8elmrote School Board ware loo~ into the totter of seeur~n~
funds to level the property, but apperent34~ froads h~d not been avlilable~ and
-the Alde~r~na- requested that the City Nana~er look into the totter of havin~ a
b,n~dnzer go out there. The City Engineer advised that at the present time ·
the ~rou~d was too wet for a bulldozer to ~o in~ but when it dries u~ it is
. expected that the School B~ard will ~ave this done ·
Merritt - Fern Avenue area
AIdeman Puttick referred to ecadittc~s created by a swampy seetim in
the Msrrltt - Fern Avenue area. Residents in the ares are unable to en~o~
their properties and are curtinuall~ brin~ in their own fill in an effort
to alleviate scee of the probless nsused by the water filled area. The Alder-
san requested that a report be prepared nsttin8 out the o~ner of the property#
what can be dose to t.~_km_ care of the strumtim, etc. The City Bn~ineer
advised that in 1967 a ditch was extended aloes Dorchester Road in an effort
to dx~in some of the area. He explained that an investiSation revealed that
if a hiSh mound in the area was bulldosed off, fill breuSht in, and brush removed,
the problem would be taken care of, He pointed out; this work was the respca-
eibility of the owner.

Deputations
At this time it was Ordered on the motion of Ald. McCalltun, seconded by Ald.
Grasskemp that Mr. D. McLeod be granted ~ermission to address Council.
Mr. Mcleod stated that while egress from the prol~sed apor~ment building would
be to a major arterial road there was not too much that could be done to reduce
traffic on the road, and remarked that the proposed develotxnent would not be
adding greatly to the existing traffic problem. Mr. McLeod stated that the
developsent was the most sensible and logical one for this area, and a site
plan had been drawn up covering all the salient points of the most desirable
development. l~r. McLeod referred to the previous application to the Planning' '
Board which had been turned dow~, and outlined the reasons why this had b~en
done, stating that the present application had been approved by Council under
date of July Slat, 1~67. Mr. McLeod also pointed out there was aI fairly
large buffer zone between the site and the majority of the housing; and a ~'
set-back along the southerly boundary of the property.
It was then Ordered on the motion of Ald. Graas~-mp, seconded by Ald. Scott
that Mr. G. Allen he granted permission to address Council.
MAr. Allen, an adjacent property owner, reviewed details concerning proposals
for this particular prol~rty in l~st years. He was of the opinion that the
additional cars &t the new apartment .would".tie up traffic in .the area, and
also would put his g~eenhouse out of business and.would remove a considerable
amount of privacy. He also questioned who wo~ld supply the playground for
the families and children of the apartment building. He suggested a chain wire
fence around the conplate property as a solution. Mr. Allen also queried who
would be .responsible for payment of sidewalks, and referred to the storm sewer
in this area.
The City Engineer c~mnented in respect to trmffic, sewer reposeis, etc. in
this area. The City Clerk advised there was provision in ~he site plan agreement
for a decorative fence.

~e stated that it could not be too strongly emphasized that the ori~-~l figure

increase was ere to new cox =el~s in education, and the Board ~as merely attempting

other factors relating to the increase in the cost, including increased rates
in the various building trades. An explanation was also provided concemin~
the acc.'-,~.,odation of the library in the school. It was indicated by the Board

certain matters pertaining to Urban Renewal Ccemittee, which he felt might n~t
be considered legally wrong, bu~ were momll~ wrong. ~e advised that: 1) a
member of tha Urban Renewal Cc~nittee had purchased property, which was his pre-
rogative, but tbe Alderman felt ~hat if the neroher was ~oin6 to Purchase'property
and belong to an investment conl~n~ that he should resign free the Cmwn~ttee
~) The sa~vm member of the ~rban Renewal Om~ttee had applied for the position
of ~rbAn ReneWal Officer, advertised publicl~ b~-the Cmmittee; and at the last
meeting held in ccmittee, which ~as to do with a dovel.oFant and ]sod, ?Jls

,
because the C~wm~ttee was to discuss the applications for the Urban Renewal
O~ficer, at a salary of $10,000. to $12,000 per ann,m. Alderran- Puttick
advised that he had stated in c~ittee that this matter would have to ~e
bro,~ht ~efore Council or be would resign, hut e~a=_d that he realized he did
have a duty-to fulfill his Job. ~he Al~elman further advised that in the
Minutes of the Plam~ing Board meet~.~ the same member had been authorized to
to British Coltnn~ia to a Convention; and that Members of the Planning Board ~did
not kno~ t~at this gentleman had applied for the position of Urban ~enewal
Officer. Alder~n Puttick requested that the City Council make a decision
on this matter, and stated he w~,!d not sit on the Ccmnittee with this member
~ more.
Alderm~- Graa8~mp sulnnltted his c.:-~.;~nts 'on attacks made by Alder~-
Puttick on Cit7 Officials, and also stated that the area that the member of the
Urban Renewal O~4ttee had invested in was in need of Urban Renewal, and as
such his investment was a credit to the City. His Worship Mayor Miller in-
dica~ed that this partic,,~_r area was not in the Urban Renewal
Alderma~ Rearss stated if there ~as dis-satisfaction within the ranks
of the Urban P~newal Ccemittee this did nut speak very ~ell for the Cmwittee
or its proposals. In answer to a ~uestion from the Alderman, l~is Worship
Mayor Miller indicated that the C~m, ittee had been named by Council. Alderman
~earss stated that perhaps the things mentioned by Alderman Puttick should he
clarified and Council should deal with the problems that have arisen, and to

(St.Paul Ave. from Mountain Rd. to no.rth City limit)
It was Ordered on the motion of Ald. Bearss, seconded by Ald. Puttick that MAr.
S. J. Knight be granted permission to address Council in respect to By-law No.
777S. Mr. Knight presented to each member of Council a folder containing
petitions signed by a nus~er of residents expressing opposition to the applica-
tion to increase the speed limit on St.Paul Avenue frum the existing limit of
SO miles per hour, to S5 miles per hour, from Mountain Road south to O'Neil
Street, and S~ miles per hour from O'Neil Street south to Thorold Stone Road.
Mr. l(night pointed out the large volume of pedestrian traffic which must cross
the roadway.: attributable, in pert, to the fact that there a~e five schools and
two churches -ia the .area, as well-as shopping plazas, and stated that at present
the speed of most motor vehicles exceeded the SO male limit, and that the resi-
dents of the area were most concerned with the situation and felt an increased
.speed limit would not resolve the problem. Se advised of difficulties experiencec
by school children and older people in attempting to cross the highway, d~e to
the fact that there ~s no Pedestrian Protection such as cross wars, stop
signs, traffic signals, traffic islands~ or bailey bridges, to interrupt the
flow of traffic on this highway from Thorold Stone Road to Mountain Road.
Knight stated he was of the opinion it was not right to increase the speed limit
to accommodate the motorists at the risk of pedestrians, and suggested that Police
records for the area he obtained to indicate the amount of speeding which occurs.
Mat H. A. I~nb, Traffic Engineer, advised that there Was so~e pedestrian protec-
tion in the area, in the form of two crossing guards, however there was a lack of
protection in the front of the two Plazas. Ee exPlained that by increasing the
posted speed l~!t, the speeds travelled would not be increased, but rather it
Was expected that the average speed of vehicles would decrease somewhat, if the
situation follows the pattern of IAmd~'s Lane, and would result In a more uniform
sPeed being travelled. Mr, Lamb stated it was agreed that additional steps
in the area must be taken, and that a report had been referred to the 1969 Council
that would consider an expenditure for traffic ContrOl signals in the area.
Mr. Knight in repl~Lu~ to the remarks of the Traffic Engineer, stated that he'
felt the Engineer Was wrong, and that the enalo~ between this area and IAmdF's
~ane was not true. Ne also stated that the crossix~ ~uards in the area
aleoat ~tall~ ineffective, At the conclusion of the discussiOn the followl~
motiOn was su!~nitted:
Moved by Aid. Puttlck, seconded by Aid. McKinley, that we hold these By-laws

a proposal made to him by a local hotel owner with forty rooms, as to the possi-

1) The way it was handled, that his ~mm. was smeared on the basis of a rumbur
and on the basis of hearsay ~nich mounts to slander, and that he could sue the
two Alderman and the source in the Health Unit from which the rumour originated;
2~ Council has set a precedent, and he could have any rumour concerning any
Alderman investigated."

would not take this any more. Ee also stated he ho~ed that in the future

SPEOIAL MEI~A'iNG
Council met in special session 'on Thursday, November 28th, 1968 at ~:00
: p.m. All Members of Council ware present. Alderman Dewhie arrived at the meet-
. ing at ~:25 p.m. His Worship Mayor F. J. Miller presided.
~ His Worship Mayor Miller explained that at the Meeting of City Council
~ held on November 25th at which time c~,mications and petitions had been pre-
~ sented protesting the grant to Mount Camel College, it had Been ordered that the
! matter be laid over for certain information that the City Manager was to secure.
The City Manager advised that statistical information received fr~n other
Municipalities where Universities were located, had been prepared for Council' s
information. Copies of the petition received by the City Clerk On November
25th, 1968 had also been provided to Members of Council. It was also indicated
that M~ssrs. H. A. Logan and A. A. MacBain, representatives of the Save Mount
Carreel College Fund Committee were in attendance in the Council Chamber to pro-
-~ vide a~v ir~ormation that might be requested. Yt was then Ordered on the motion
'. Of Alderman Mitchelson, seconded by Alderman Prior that either Mr. Logan or
~ Mr. MacBain be given the opportunity 'to address Council. This motion was Carried
~ with Alderman Grasskemp voting contrary and all other members in fayour.
Mr. LOgan reviewed that Mount Oarreel College had suffered a disastrous fire
~in 1967, and that it had been the feeling of a great many citizens that s~mething
should be done, in a spirit of eo,_m~_Ulem, to assist this institution because they
were faced with a catastrophe. Certain people active in the e~unity were
approached to head up a camittee to see what could be done to raise funds to put
the building beck in shal~e, the members of the Ccmnittee being: His Worship Mayor
Miller and lYr. W. Fingland, Honorary Chairmen; IL A. Logan, G~neral Chairman;
and Vice Chairmen A. A. MacBain, T. Foldman and Dr. 8. Fisher. The C~,ittee
had felt it was fitting in the unusual circumstances of this case to ~n~e an
al~eal to Council, such appeal being made on Jemusry 29th, 1968. Mr. Logan
stated that the sitnation that had now arisen had placed the members of the Order in
an embarrassing situstics & they lla~ gc~e ahead with a substantial re-buildin~
progr-,~e, and Mr. Logan suggested, had in part, kept in mind the funds that
d
were available an the $60,000. amount which had been promised. Mr. Logan out-
l_in_ed the participation in c~nitF contributions by members of the Order, and
the facilities available to the general public. He mentioned the proposed estab-
lishment of an eo~aenical centre, which if brought to a successful conclusion,
would be the first in North America, or the World. Mr. Logan stated that
shor$1~ before the fire an application was pending for university status for
Mount Carreel College. In order to qualify, certain facilities had to Be avail-
able and various problems were involved, however, since that time, many of the
facilities which had previonslM existed, were no longer there, so any hope for
university status was gone. He also stated that the possibility of sane sort
!~ of associate status with Brock University or with St.Michael's College in Toronto
was also discussed a~ter the fire, but advise~ there was no ~.-~diate possibility
of this hapl~ninS. Mr. Logan stated that no commitments had been ~iven bF
himself or anyone else, that Mount Cannel College would be trans~omed into a
4a~ree-~rant~-e_ institution, and while this had been investi~atea there was no
possibility of it taking ~lacs at the moment.
Xt was clarified that there are no grants in lieu of taxes fron the Province
to a munieipallty in which a university is locate~, and there are no theoloSical
faeulties in the Province th&t receive ~rants from the Province.
In answer ~o ~uestions directed to him, Mr. Loawn advised that Mount carreel
was a Selarata Order, celf-su~portin~, and did nut receive arenas, eta., from
the Church hiererel~. An approximate amount of $11~,000 had been raiced by
l~blie canvass, exclusive of a grant from the Ci~y.
At this point in the meeting, His Worship r4aFo~ Miller stated ha would
accept a motice for re-cmsl~eration. Xt was then Orders& on the motion or
Aldexman DOwnie, seeendear b~ Alderman Grasskemp that Council re-ec~sider the
matter of a arena $o Mmmt Carsel ColleSs. Carried Unanimously. .,,
Mr. Logan then requested permission to address Council again. The City
Solicitor when asked for an opinion on this request, stated it was not usual
~nen a mo~ion was being debated to hear further representation. His Worship
Mayor Miller then took the vote on the motion. The motion was Carried

Better Llvin~ Courses
In answer to a question fr~n Alderm~n Puttick, Alderman Bearss explained
how She, in. eon~anctlon with a grou~ of community-minded *~Citizens,had worked out
a proposal and programme for a coarse on adult education, based cn good house-
keeping-and good mar~gement, to ba called "Better LIvid'g". The Alderman stated
she had appeared on behalf of the cc~,~ttee before thebNia~arm Falls Housing'
Authority who had agreed to co-operate in this t~pe of adult education. She '
had also appeared before the Board of Education who had also endorsed the Ccarses,
and had;granted the use of facilities at James Norden School. Aideman Bearss
advised'that 'the:Housing Authority had felt that persons liV~ in Ontario Housi--
units should ~e the select group, until the coarse was accepted and then it could
be extended to other persons in the City. The Housing Authority would assume
the responsibility for the promotion, and advertising, etc., of the coarse. It
~as suggested that those persons who would be eligible for the coarse should be
made aware of same.

By-law which would Drohibit the e~ection ~f a building behind a house; and when
the house would be x~moved. The City Manager stated that in this I~rticu~-r
case the new building constructed behind the house was an extension of a plaza
area, hut advised he would check on this matter and report thereon.

The Meet~ had been called for the purpose of cc~slderln~ the pro-
posed a~ando~nent o~ the Pean Centzel l%allway BrldSe over the Welland lttwr at
Chlplmwe. ~ City !4e~er ~ave a res~n~ of the reasons for the meeting# '
outlining that ~th the lmplelentaticfi of removal 6overnment it will be poss-
ible that the Tc~rnshtp of W13/ou~hby and the VtU-~e of Chippews Could he included
as · ~ of the City of NJaSaxl Falls. He stated that the heav~ clay in 1~lll-
ou~hby admonished the possible uses of the land and su~ste~ that the Township
could ~e used for industrtll purposes. The Chairman then invited Heeve
Wel~htman to submit his cm~muts.
Reeve We~htean exfanded apprec~atia~ to the C~ty Council for the ~n-
vitatic~ to attend the eeetSa~, and to d~scuss the problems the closin~ or
abandor~ent of the br~dSe would create. Reeve Wei~hf~an posted a map sho~n~
the existin~ 1~.._ end the businesses pTesenta,y bei~ serviced by the line. He
outl~-_ed the nuaber of cars sb.,l~ed to the Nox~On Cc~lm~ during the busy
seasons and the necessity of crestin~ additional stomSe and tx~ck facilities
if the abandon,rout is to be carried out.
Alderm~- Oraas_u~mp outS/ned the ~npractical nature of any idea of
extend~n~ the existi~S line frm its souther],V rexminus into Willou6hby To~n-
ship. Such extension would necessitate the purchase of residential b,w~e__s and
involve having a railway a/no lass ~hrou~h a residential area. He a~Teed
with Reeve We~6ht~an that the cost given by the ~ailW to reactivate the bridSe
appeared to he somewhat inflated. He queett~ed if the cost of inatall~n~
elementar~ or simplified bridSe opening equ~I~ent nd~ht reduce considemb2~V
the figure sulktrod by the RailW.
Alderman Martin stated that it would tm a distinct d~sadvantaee to ell
concerned ff a railway r~ht-o~-W yore extended through an ex~stin~ residential
area in C~il~ew~, and that such a proposal would ]~ck foresiSht. As an example
he drew a cc~larison with the residential sections of the Cit7 of NiaSara Falls
~esenta,v bisected by railW !~es, and the tremendous cost ~nvolved in hav~n~
such l~nes m-located at a later date.

Councillor J. Cartier reviewed the personal ~owladee he had experienced
while being employed by the Railway, relative. to abendDnment procedures over
the lmst years. He menticmed that the px~-e_ purpose for such aban~-n~___nt was
ususll~ the lack of business for the railway.
Councillor Wills sullested ~bat the Cltyss approach to ~he mtte~ was
baled cn the Possibility of industrial expanslm or the establishment of new
