Minutes1956(A)Inaugural Meeting of the Stamford Township Council held in the Council
Chambers on Tuesday, January 3rd, 1956 at ll a.m.
All the members of the Council and the member of the Public Utilities
Commission took the Declaration of Office before the Clerk, A. C.
Muggins.
Reverend Robert Rolls, Minister of St. Martin's Church, Dorchester
Road, gave the prayer of Invocation for the 1956 Council.
Reeve Arthur George Bridge gave the Inaugural Address as follows:
To the Members of the 1956 Council,
The Ladies & Gentlemen of the Radio Audience,
and the Officials present.
In giving my sixth inaugural address, I have pondered for some time
Just what an address of this nature should consist of, however, I do
think that inasmuch as it will be my own composition, I am perhaps
permitted to say Just what is in my mind, and also I do not believe
that it will be entirely'agreeable to everyone.
In the first place, may I say that I appreciate to the fulleat extent
the confidence that the electors have shown in re-electing me to the
position as Reeve for another year. The vote given me is a cleqr
indication that you approved of my administration of the affairs of
the Township during the past 5 years, and I trust that at the con-
clusion of my municipal career in behalf of the Township of Stamford,
and which will very definitely come to an end on December 31st, 1956,
I shall have merited the confidence that you have accorded me.
Before dealing with what has been accomplished in the past year, may
I say that we will miss the retirement, through the fortunes of war,
Mr. William ~. Sootheran, who for the past eight years, has given
yeoman service on yo~r behalf, and his work the past two years in the
County Council was of great assistance to me, and to you all by his
advocacy of more County Road work, and it is hoped that his departure
from the scene of municipal politics will not be permanent. X must
also congratulate the new Deputy Reeve, Mr. Gordon Bates, and I am.
confident that he will be of great assistance to me in the County
Council by virtue of his legal knowledge. To Councillors E. E.
Mitchelson and John Allan, I also extend my congratulations on their
re-election. They have proved their worthiness in the past year.
The newly'elected Councillor Mr. Fobeft Keighan knows that persever-
ance pays off as on his fourth try, he succeeded in being elected.
I ~ust, however, express my disappointment at the small number who
voted on December 5th, Just about 36 per cent. To those who did not
exercise their franchise do not come to the Councll and complain about
their work.
Before dealing with the wore done last year, may I sincerely express
my appreciation for the manner in which all the staff carried on the
work so necessary in a municipality the size of Stamford. Our Clerk,
~r. A. C. Huggins, Miss M. Adams, our Assistant Clerk, and to all the
offlee staff in this office, they have performed wonders. Our genial
Treasurer, ~r. Robert Daws, and his helpmates have looked after the
financial end of the work in a commendable manner. To the Assessing
staff, and whose work has been greatly augmented by the introduction
of what is known as a Provincial f4anual, have shown that their work was
carried out in a remarkably good manner, when most of the appeals at
~he recent County Court of Revision were not against the assessments ·
and were small considering that there were 6 950 pieces of property
assessed. ~ost of the appeals were for oha~ from Public to .Separate
Last but not at all least has been the work of our Engineering staff'.
When one considers that there has bee~ ].aid 30,812.98 feet of sidewalks,
15,499.3 feet of watermains, and then the immerse sewer project, and I
use that word, for. the fact that this pro4ect is the largest ever ~inder-
taken hy a Township, and the fact that all the engineering work-has been
done without any constilting engineers speaks well for the able admini-
stration and ability of Mr Merle F. Kex., M.I.E.C. and his staff,
especially when one ~nows Chat Welland County Council will have oald -
about't30,000.00 in engineering fees Just for the building of a ~oad.
The men employed on all Township wc~k have co-operated in the best
possible marnuer with those above them.
Our firemen have kept up their. reputation for efficiency, and a word of
praise must gO to the Stamford Centre Brigade for the splendid addition
to their hall. The Stamford Arena Commission has also made good progress
in providing entertainment for the Youngst&re and for the devotees of
ice skatlr~. To the Victorian Order of. Nurses, who have maintaired the
good ~ork that they do throughout the Township andto the Welland and
District Health Unit my personal thanks go out to all the staff for the
efficient work that they are doing.
Now for what was accompli~hed duri~ the past year. fi~, I say that 1955
was the busiest year we have ever had. More houses hav~ been constructed,
greatly improved street lighting has been done, and at long last, those
old decrepit walls fronti~ the Vocational High School on Drummond Road
have disappeared, and In place we now have a new front to the building,
and most of the steep hill has been eliminated. Drummond Road, both south
,
and north of Lundy s ~ne to Murray ~trest and North Street, has been
widened and are now two of ~he best portions of road-in the municipality.
We have also had installed
traf. i~ lights at some of.the most dangerous
crossi~s, and at a good many intersections, mercury yapour lights have
been placed in operation, thus greatly minisizing traffic hazards. We
have completed the reassessment of all properties In the m~nlcipali~y,
and whlch~raised ~he value from a little o~er. 14 million dollars to
about 42 million. Whilst our mill rate Is now 35 mills, It would have
been nearer lO0 mills a~ the old figure if the same expendit~xres had
been kept up, none of which, I am sure could have been done without.
All in all 1955 was a momentous year for Stamford.
However, Councils are resumed to be elected for the purpose of improving
the mni~ipality, and ~ endearcured ss much as possible to see that the
rights of the rmtepayers were roteoted, and two pieces of legislation
Practically passed last year, ~ am absolutely not in accord with, but
the majority rules. I certainly do not agree with all the ideas of the
so-called Master Plan. It seems to me that It Is a very direct infringement
of the right of property owners. I ca~ot see why a few appointed 'men
should be given the right to tell any property owner that his land can
only be used for ~ specific purpose, even thox~h he may have ~id
heavy taxes for ma~ years. No doubt more of this ~ster Plan will be
heard of during this year, when the people begin to realize what it
actually means.
The other matter is the new proposed hospital, It does seem to me that
the Ontario Munioi~l'~ard should have ordered a new vote as to the
buildl~ of one. There may have. been a decided nha~e In opinion had
one been taken at the last m~loipal election from the one taken three
years ago. I ~ow that I am In the mlnority on. this ~tter, at least
in-so-far as my Council are concerned, but I want the ratepayers to ~ow
this that whilst it has been decided that we will lssue debentures, to
the extent of ~t least $805,000.00 It slap means that they will have to
raise twlce that amo~ in the next 20 years, for one does not borrow
money without interest. Tlme will tell.
X think that I have sald eno~;h abe t 1955, bub what about the pros eats for
the coml~ year. First, ~ Ould li~e to de~l w~th the cost of Educ~tio~
of whic~ the Co~cil hes o~hi~ whatsoever to do ~ith, but ~ the
hes to do with it ~s to raise the money that the District Board. of
Educatio~ deem is necessary to c~ry on thewo~k required of them.
The' time has come, when kt i~ imperative that the Eominion Governmen~ will
have to bear a share of the costs. They and they alone have Control of
Immigration. True, we must have people coming to Canada, and many
families do come in, and the children have tc be educated, and schools
have to be built and they. dp Do~ cpntribute one Single cent towards the
costs. The Ontario Government has done wonders in the past ten years,
but they likewise will have to increase their grants, and strong
representations will have to he made by all municipalities if they
are to survive. I am of the opinion ~hat the Department of Education
in Toronto should set a pattern for all new schools, ~s thousands of
dollars are being. wasted in school buildings. There is altogether too
:much power vested in the hands of the trustees in this matter. In the
~matter of building schools, it seems to me to be very prevalent that
one must 'keep up with the Jonesen I am also strongly of the opinion
that the statutes should be Ohapge~, and that a member of any Council,
not necessarily the head, should have a seat on any trustee boar4 or
let the boards collect their own taxes.
I sincerely hope that the Council will go along with the idea of
continuing the improvemeEt in our street lighting. A step in this
direction has been ~ade by making all.new subdividers pay for the
b~ckets, and this means tha~ ~00 Matt lamps will be installed instead
of the outdated 100 Watt lamps.
It also seems to me that the,Council will h~ve to take some more steps
on their own'initiative to secure industries. The ratio between
residential and'industrial and commercial assessments should remain
on'a fifty-fifty basis, and our industrial expansion is not what it
should
The sewer'program will be finished by the end of the year, I hope.
and I'think the time has come when we should~sertously consider the
question of openir~.up new subdivisions, as'thoJ~h now in progress
have many vacant houses and lots yet to be built on.
Commercial buildings have taken a good step forward in the soon to be
opening of new plazas, and these will no doubt mean increases in
population, which I note now is greater than that of ~lagara Falls.
Our road program for this year will ,have to be carefully considered
for the reason that the districts that have ha~ sewers installed this
year will ~ave to be taken care of, but I am sure that this will be
taken into consideration when the estlmatesare presented early in
February.
Now I am going to come to the most impor,taut subject the Council
will have to deal with and that is the financial .position of the
municipality in regard to our debenture debt. Acc~ordlng to a statement
that has been prepared when the debentures are issued for the. new
secondary school of $848,000.00 and $165,000.00 for the addition to
the H~rtha Cullimore ~hool o~y opened ~wo m~ths ago, coupled with
the Hospital quota and the local improvement and sewer oommittmente
we will have a debenture debt of $8,552,000.00 and to this must be
.added the ~nterest c~rges, which would possibly mean that we will
owe about 1~ million dollars. No ~nicipall~y can ~rrow more than 2~ par cent
of their assessment, but it seems that. when this proviso was p~t into'-
operation, interest charges were not taken into consideration. It seems
to me that at the end of this year, we will have, to c~tail most of the
services unless they are all paid in cash before construction. I.leave
this .tho~ht w~th you for consideration.' : ~' ·
Whilst I have mentioned several millions, quite a portion of that s~ ' ~
will come ~ck by ~ents by the ratepayers such a~ frontage taxes., .:
hyd~o char~es, waterb~lls, and certaXngrant~=:from thee.Department ':. ':' .
of Education.-~ , -: :- ~' .. ~ .... .': ,. - ,... ...7. ~: ..
What has to be met by direct charges on the ratepayers, are the Arena
debentures, trunk sewers, extra charges on all sewers over twelve
inches, and the same on watermains over eight inches, as well as that
proportion of our school charges. It is a facu that the debentures
to be issued for the pr,oposed sec.ondary school on O'Neil Street will
cause the ratepayers to pay in the next 20 years $636,000.. plus interest,
as the Department of Education have intimated that they will only ~ive
50 per cent of 8424,000.. In addition to this, it is quite obvious that
the other expenses such as teaching, light, heat, Janltorial services
will come to a considerable amol~t. I~xst year educational costs took
$57.32 oat o~ every $10O.00 Of our taxes and it looks very much as
if that ~mount will be greatly increased this year. I do not. want tc
lead the ratepayers astray, but I cannot forsee any li~elihood but that
the m~ll rate will increase considerabl:~ over last year. However,
debenture payments on tl~e proposed issue of S2,500,000 this year will
not have to be made until 1957, so m~ybe the rate increase can be keot
down t8 a .mini,mum.
I think that I have dealt with what the Council of this year will have-
to carefully' consider in the months to come.
As the Counoil's representative on the Public Utility Commission, I want
to say this. Many complaints~ have.come to me, concerning the power being
off, or a street light out, and usually these tt~ings are dealt with as
soon as possiblel The comolainants s~em to think that the Utility
Commission is to blame, bu~ I want to say this, every effort has been
made to remedy the trouble in the shortest possible time. We.cannot
send out two men ~ith a truck Just because a.light.is out, that costs
money, and is reflected in the ove~all cost at the,end of the year~
Neither are we to 'blame if a .pole is broken dQwn by some irresponsible
car'or truck driver.
Just for instance, 16ok what happened last Thursday, it took nearly
every man we had to repair the damage.before power was r~tored. Our
'staff has been most co-operative in seeing that power is off the least
possible time, but consumers do be at least a little reasonable in
your complaints. Stamford power consumers you are not the only
municipality that occasionally has power troubles. Another thing, and
that is the complaints that ~he charges are high. The local Commission
does not set the rates, they have to charge what the Ontario Hydro
tells them to. A~other matter that I think should be mentioned is
that at the end of last year's business, the auditors reported that we
had a surplus of about $35,000.00, but the time the Hydro-Electric
Power Commission got down to earth that surplus had dropped to about
$15,000.00 due to what is called a thirteenth bill. This.~ear we are
hoping that there will be no such bill next March or April, and that
As one of the reasons why your rates have been increased in the past
month or two.
During the past year, we have ~iven service to 494 new homes, and in
this connection, may I say that your Commission deemed it advisable to
see that these new homes had the serEice they wanted, Pother than have
the men put up decorative trees and other emblems incldenta~ to the spirit
of the festive season. P~y I say this, that no Utility Commission could have
had more co-operation from Manager H. E. Brow~xill, the office staff and
all the outside men than we ha~e had in the past year. During the past
year we have done all we could to see that any requests from the Council
for installing street lights has been done with ~he minimum of waiting.
As for the other part of the Commissioners troubles, and of which I am
fairl~ conversant with, that is our water supply and the pressure that
is necessary in case of fire. During the past year that has Just come
to a close, there Has been 381 houses that have had mains installed :
for the services required, and whilst there has been some breaks in
our mains, and pipes do not last forever, no undue delay has been
experienced In repairing s~ch breaks.
o Commission has a serlous problem to deal with
During. this year, Y Rr the~e will be no shortage during the summer

I tht~k the Eeevd has outlined quite adequately the problems tha~ W~11
faae this Ceunct~ aurt~ the ¢omt~ year.~ao far as your aaaress has
disclosed the possible program of action, I would like to support that
program.The neqssstty of obtaining new industries in Stamford in order
to mlntaln the present balance of assessment Is an important
and it should be our o~Jecttve in 1956. I also agree to the street
l%ghtl~ program and the remarks you made conoernl~ the heavy cost of
education end it is time that the ~v~er~ent increased assistance
the m~lelpalittee. You ,mentioned a l~ge debenture debt and !~
a very serious proble~ and the solution of this problem would be to secure
more industries. I think that this problem should be considered at
length. We should re-examine the policy for subdivisions regarding
the cost of services and that will not be so drastic as to prohibit
~ub4tvisions Xn 1956. ~ do not agre~with your objection to Plannt~.

I wish ~o congratulate the l~ee~s on his Inaugural Address. I also
w~ish to extend at this time thanks to the employees for their.
co-operation during the past year and without an efficient staff
the CourtpAl cannot operate properly. I hope that we will have the
same co-operation. this year..
COUNCILLOR
E. E. MI CEL
I would llke to commend ~he ReeVe on his very able address this
morning. He~certalnly pointed out the buslness in 1955 aRd the
difficulties that will face ~his Council in 1956. I c~o~ held
but make a comment or two about the Master Plan. In'a municipality
the size of Stamford it is impossible to design the future without
having a plan. It'is a plan to protect the people and the properties
are laid out ~o which they are better suited to, for example, industries
etc., in the best interest of everyone. The vote of the people and
the public support of the financial campaign Indicates thht.our
hospital is doing a very fine Job, and I am convinced that the people
· of these ~nl~tpali~ies want a hospital. I am happy that you have
seen fit to re-appoint me to ~ke Hospital Board this year.
Undoubtedly r~w industrial and commercial assessmen6 is veDy essential
· and I thlnk that we should make every effort in 1956 to encourage
new industries here because the assessments will help keep our mlll
rate down. I wish to give my personel thanks to all the officials
and e~plOyees of.the Township In whatever capacity they serve for a
Job well done. I also wish to take this opportunity to wish one and
all a very successful year in 1956

At the conclusion of the meeting a Committee Meeting was held for the
purpose of discussing the following matters:
1. Conference with Mr. A. Brooks, Q.C. and Mr. Oscar McLeod in respect to
their reouest to re-classify the use of the Oakes Estate and Welland
Securities property located within Town~hi~ Lot 175 and 190 from R(1) use
to C(1) use. '
2. Conference with Mr. W. A. Cook relativ~ to the proposed swimming pool,
etc. on property owned by the Township ~t barlton Avenue and Culp Street.
Re oft from Reeve A. G. Bridge Deputy Reeve G. H. Bates, Councillor
~: g. ~itche!son and Clerk A. C. H~gg~ns re: interview with officials of the
Head Office of the Imperial Bank of Canada and Mr. W. A. Orr, Deputy Minister
of Municipal.Affairs on January 12th, respecting Township finances and
disposal of debentures. ~
With regard to Item 1. I~. Brooks and M~. McLeod requested.that the classifica-
tion for the use of the OaSes property be.changed from R(1) to C(1) use.
They explained that this particular property would be e×ceedingly difficult
to d~spose of in the present form and suggested that C(1) use would provide
greater flex{bility in disposing. Council decided to take no action ~n
respect to the request, in view of the fact that the Ontario Municipal Board
had appointed JanUary 23rd to hear the appeal in connection w~th this property.
They informed the representatives 'of the Company tha~ their appeal should be
made when the adjourned hearing ;is held.
Re: Item 2. Mr. Cook presented a plan showing how his proposed sw'imming pool
would be located on Township property at the north-west corner of Culp Street
and Carlton Avenue. He also submitted a letter outlining the conditions under
which.he would construct and operate such a pool. Council agreed with the
conditions expressed and passed resolution No. ~0 authorizing the Solicitor to
draw an option on the property for one year, and the preparation of a by-law
authorizing an application to the Legislature for a private bili which woul-d
in effect authorize the lea~ing off the la~d to I~. Cook for a period of 20 years
at a nominal rate of ~1.O0. ·
Re: ite~ 3. The Reeve presented a letter be had received from Mr. John
~roctor., General },~nager of the Imperial Bank of Canada written to him as a
result of the discussion we had on.January 12th. Mr. Proctor pointed out
that the present debt figures and proposed financing indicated that'the
completion of our program calls for a strict re-trenchment of our capital
expenditures in the near future. He realized that to some extent this is -
more or less beyond our control hut suggested that as far as possible it
would be in the best interests Af the Township to hold our capital expenditures
on a tight reinS: He mentioned that careful planning would be helpful in con-
trolling the spread cf additional services by confining them to the developed
areas and thus avoiding uneconomical expansion. In referring to debentures
he was of ~he opinion that the Township had been well served by our Syndicate
handlt our debentures. The C~mmlttee reported on their ]nterview with
Mr. W.~. Orr and stated that the Deputy Minister was of the Opinion that our
finances were in a very sound position at the present time, but cautioned that
urban-rural municipalities such as oum experienced considerable problems with
growth and development. The cost of financing development was a real roblem
but careEul planning could control it to a certain extent'. On the'mat~e~ of a
distributing agent for debentures he informed the delegation that'such places
as Metro Toronto Province of OntArio and many other municipalities deal with
Syndicates. OR the other hand,.,he stated that'some municipalities call for
tenders,' ~: ; , =_~-, ~/

Mr. M. SwePt and two members of Thorold Township Council
artended the meeting and discussed the posstbi~ity of
securing water from Stamford Township for the proposed
B. F. Goodrich of Canada Limited plant to be constructed
mm
Thqrq~d TwD.
on the Chippaws Creek i~oad, Just west of the Noranda
Company property in the Township of Thorold. The
delegation were informed that the cost of extending the
watermain ~n Garner ~oad and alor~ the Chippaws Creek
Hoed to the western boundary of Stamford would be
$29,432.70. The approximate distance required for
this extension would be 5,698 feet. Reeve Bridge
indicated that Stamford is not prepared to pay for
such extension and in the event that it is necessary
the capital cost would have to be borne by the Township
of Thorold. It was suggested that it might be possible
to make arrangements with either the North American
Cyanamid Co. or the Norands Company to secure water
from them through their own mains. Such an arrange-
ment would have to be approved by our Council and the
Stamford Public Utilities Commission. It was pointed
out that either plan would necessitate the securing
of the approval of the City of Niagara Falls. It was
decided that Heeve Bridge would contact Mayor Hawkins
of Niagara Falls to determine if the City would approve
of water service being extended to the Goodrich Plant.
The representatives of Thorold will. contact the North
American Cyanamid Company and Norands Company to
determine if it will be possible to secure water through
their mains. When the information from these companies
and the results of the discussion with Niagara Falls are
completed another meeting will be held to consider the
matter further.

local elected representa.tiv.es. They were also concerned
about the right to use properties ins lower zone for
higher classified use. The letter concluded in. requesting

the Master Plan should be confined to the local
'elected representatives.
JACk MONBOE stated that he and his brother, Gordon, had
applied to the Board to have their property west of
Dorchester Feed reclassified from R-2 to' Commercial.
They also applied to have a portion of their property
on the east side of Dorchester Road reclassified as
Commercial. The Board would only permit a small
portion of the property from the Q. E. Way to
approximately 655' easterly as Commercial. Mr.
Monroe stated that he would like to have the b~lance
of his property reolassified as commercial An the
initial by-law.
HUGH HART stated that he represented property owners on the
east and west sides of Portage Road between Stamford-
Centre and the Plaza area. He reminded Cbuncil that
~he Owners had petitAched the Ontario Municipal Board
to change their classification from R-1 to C-1 on this
property. The residents would like C-2 classification
but would be satisfied with C-1. He requested Council
to advise the land owners on Portage road when the
matter wall be further discussed by Council.
V. K~RRI0 stated he wanted to know what action was required
to change the classification of his property frontlng
the Queen Elizabeth Way from I d
~ ustrial to residential
and compared his property to the former Potter property
~ronting cn the Queen Elizabeth Way north'of Thorold

The meetingwas called to consider the 1956 local improvement
program consisting of proposed construction of watermains,
sewermains, sidewalks, curb faced sidewalks and curbs. The
Engineer reported his estimate of costs for the various works
and the Clerk reported on the sufficiency of the petitions
received for the various works. Council approved ef all the
works submitted with the exception of the following, which
were mot approved for the reasons indicated:
CURB_FACED SIDEWALKS
(1) .North Side of Division Street from existing walk to
East Limit Leonard Avenue.
It was decided that this sidewalk could mot be undertaken
until a portion of Leonard Avenue had been legally stopped up.
aUBB CONb~SRUCTION
(1) Judith Avenue, both sides, from Atlas to-Carmen Street.
(2) Carnmm Street, both sides, from Judith Avenue to Portage
Road.
(3) Portage Road, east side, from Carman Street to 112 feet
north of Carman Street.
She ma3orlty of these petitions were not sufficiently signed
and it was pointed out tb~t many of the sewer laterals had
not been installed from the trtmk to the various lots.
For:this reason Council decided not to proceed with these
.works.
(3)
(5)
~ome of the above works-were ~t petittoned for and in
some cases the petitions were not suffiOtentl~ signed.
For thSse,reasons it was decided not to proceed with
these works.
Sewer easement from Hydro Road to Churches Lane.
Churches Lane from Sewer Easement to Portage Head,
Portage Hoed from Trunk sewer to Churches Lane.
Portage Road from. Churches Lane to Harve Street.
Harvey Street from Portage Road to West Eimit of

Queen Elizabeth Way.
The petitlon for this work was not sufficiently signed
and Council decided not to include this project in

In addition to the works enumerated above Council received
certain other petitions for work within the Cooper
division, Prociuk Subdivision and Namac Su~xiivision. No
by-laws would be passed to u~ertake the work in these
subdivisions until after the registrations-of the sub-
divisions are completed,
· Petitions for sewermains on ~ontrose Read from Lundy's
Lone to McLeod Head and petitions for sewermains in the
Woodbine area were tabled and no action was taken in view
of the fact that development on Meritrose Road south of
IA~'s Lane was not sufficient tO ~arrant a sewer system
being installed and sewer construction in the Woodbine
Area was not feasible this .year due to the heavy debenture'
obligations we already h~vc.

Acting Reeve explained that traffic conditions were
particularly difficult in the location of his store
and to remedy the situation parallel parking had been
set up.
Ben Yuhasz of 2004 Sta~ey Avenue reapplied for a
building permit for a garage on his proper-ty on the
.west side of Kalar ~oad which he uses as a salvage
ysm~l. He indicated that if permission was granted for
such a building it would improve his ya~ since a
g~eat deal of material would be used within the
building. It was explained that his property ~s
located within an Agricultural 2 distri6t and the
present use of the property is non-conforming. It
was suggested that he apply to the Council for an
amendment to the zoning regulations and if not
approved application could be made direct to the
Ontario Municipal Board.
Donald Waters requested that his property on the
east side of Dorchester Road within Township Lot
188 and 177 be re-classified from Industrial 2 to
Residential 2. In answer to this request he was
informed that official application should be made
to cover the re-classification.
Mr. Laughlin of Toronto addressed Council- and advised
that he was interested in developing the Strohan
property within Township Lot 37 on the east side of
Portage Road as a residential subdivision. He was
interested in the extension of sewer services to
service this property. He was advised that
Petitionsa, Council had to extend the sewer services
were not sufficiently signed and it was suggested
that he take the matter up with the Engineer and
that he prepareea report for submission to Council
on how. services could be secured,
· ~r4 BrOwn owner of a garage at 2532 Bellerue Street
asked if it would be possible to purchase the dead
end of Glez~lme from Bellerue Street to the Queen
Elizabeth Way. It was explained that before such
a sale could be made the portion of Glenhelms Avenue
would have to be closed up legally, which would take a
approximately 6 months and after that time the
adjacent owners would have the privilege of buying 50%
of ~he Street. It was suggested that if he wishes to
proceed he should make application in writing.
~r. 0el DeChico from Wills Street asked if it would
be possible to have some stone placed on this street
'to permit' buildt~ materials to be placed on his'
.lot where he ~s builders a home. It was explained
that ~r. Plva and Mr. Casagrande, the owners of
this subdivision, are requested to maintain this
road Until the road is taken over by the Township,
~e Engineer had stated that these owners had agreed
to place approximately 10 loads of stone on thls road,
oun=il in respect to the parallel parking provision
applying to Hoyal Manor Drive. He suggested that the
law should be changed-to permit angle parking. The
Br. Amedlo Baldln complained that the trunk sewer
constructed through his property had danaged hls
informed that the -qwansea had
constructed the sewer end was responsible for damages

Price Signs. Mr. G. Yerich headed a delegation from the Tourist Court
Association and again requested Council to pass a by-law
to prohibit camp operators from displaying prices in front
of their establishments. He stated that the tourist
business had fallen off considerably this year and as a
result some operators commenced the distribution of hand
bills to tourists. This practice prevaile~ in Stamford
Township and Thorold Township at the Welland Canal. When
lishments started to display price signs. He mentioned that
the Canadian Tourist Association of which many of our
operators belong, advocate the prohibition of price signs
in fro~t of establishments. He explained that Provincial
regulations require the operators to display the maximum
prices within every room of an establishment. Mr. Charles
Leys, a tourist home operator was also p~esent and he
objected to any prohibition which would prevent tourist
home operators from displaying prices. He was advised by
Reeve Bridge that Council did not propose to prohibit
tourist homes from displaying price signs. Mr. W. C. LaMatab
'Solicitor, was asked for his opinion as to Councll's right
in prohibiting the display of price signs in front of
tourist camps and trailer camps. He stated that the Council
has power to regulate and license tourist camps and trailer
camps, and in his opinion, the power to regulate could
apply to price signs being displayed.

Robert Hunt asked Council when the relief sewer .... - ,
would be constructed from the lower end of Vine
Street. He was informed that we expected to secure
sewer easement rights in the near future and when
they were secured from the Ohio Brass and another
owner we would be in a position to proceed with the
work when FAr. Branseombe pays his share of the
costs. He also suggested that the purchase of lands
in the vicinity of Vine Street by the Ohio Brass
Company will depreciate the property in that district.
He Was advised that the Company did not propose to
" utilize this property for buildings at the present
time but at such time as they do he would apply to
the Court of Revision for an assessment adjustment,

maintained Dorchester Road since the sewermain
was installed. Neeve Bridge informed the
delegation that the road would be reconstructed
and sidewalks installed before September 15th.
The Clerk advised that he expected to have the sewer
easements required for the relief sewer at the lower
end of Vine Street this week. He also advised that he
had received a cheque in the amount of $1,225.00 for
Mr. Branscombe,s share of the costs agreed on for the
relief sewer. A report was given that Mr. Branscombe
had paid the amount requested for roads in the
Stamford Green area and had made a substantial payment
for sidewalk construction in that area. Further
payments will be made when we are ready to proceed
with the e&dewalks. It was pointed out that other
monies for 1956 local improvement construction was
still owing but it was expected that the subdividers
would pay the amount owing in the near future.
