MAYOR'S I~AUGUP~L ADDI~S8
'%adies and. Gentlemen:
In beg~n-~g to..d~7 m~ third term as Mayor of the City of Nia6ara Falls,
I want to erben~ to the ratopayers m~ heartfelt appreciation of the splendi& vote
of confidence they have 6ivan by imposing their trust in me for the hi6hest office
in the mrn4_cipaltty. However, I do not take it me a personal tribute ,,,,',d honmlr,
because of the fact that I feel it is a 6uesture in fayour of continuity rather
than a tribute to any merit I may possess. In ass~ning this high office for an-
other year, I cerbainl~ do so out~ of a sense of service and obligation to m~ fel-
low citizens. I have been in political life for many years an& the splenaia as-
sociation an~ co-opemtlon I have ha& frca the two previous councils as well as
from Mr. Patten, Mr. 0rr an~ Mr. Soulsby *~ other civic officials ami employees,
h*~ made this part of m~ political life most en~oyeblo. I appreciate the spXen~id
oo-olMration of every official c~u~ctea with civic ~Rm4nistration ana I know l
~ax.:th~ ~ntUmt~ of the. al~emen' as well as ayeelf. in thxs reSamX,
The CttF Council to-day Is anteTinS the new year 19~9 with two new mere-
Xm.. ~n~eea,wita )leaam: ~at: :X
veloeae~baok to civic life Alderman In~-
lie who line eez've~ thte CI*~y so well for mea~* IreaTe in the pent. T m rm~e ~ec-
ause of hie experiense and be-sues of the splend/~ service he has rend~re~ that
he will he invaluable ~ t~ as a Council. I also feel because of Aldersan Tag-
lie bein~ a member of the Niagara parks C~miasion, it will serve aea much-
nce~e~ oannecttng ltrdc between these We important bo~tes - the City Codaoil an&
the ~ar]m C_~4Ssion. We hav~ so mu0h in c~msoa and matters pex~ning ~o both,
the City an~ the Park seemed to be so closely intexvoven, that I am sure Al~er-
man laglie will be of great assistance.
Zn welcoming Alderman Jolley, the youngest member of our Council, not
only in age but in experience as well, I feel that we have a~ded a very valuable
me~er. Certainly fraa the vote he was accox~e~, be has establielled a well-
earned reputation e~ his, experience as a contractor amt-business experience as
well will he of ~reat assist~nce.
8~eaki~g direc~ly $o the two new aldermen, I know I am expressing the
feelings of your fellow members in the Council as well as the citizens when T
say we trust your term of office,will at all times continue to be a constructive
cont~bution to the government of our Cltyo
To Aldermen Ponald am~ Hawkins, who were re-elected by a very popular
vote, I can only say that their election was a well-restated one end I am very
happy indee~ that the two aldermen who were re-elected received such a hugh vote
on election day. I felt it was a stamp of approval from our citizens on tabs Work
of the 19~8 cornoil. I ~nw both will continue to give ;_re_selfishly of their time
and effort to serve well as they have in the past.
To the aldexmen who still have one more term to serve, Alderman MacDon-
ald, Alderman McKinley and Alderman Parre, my I say, and I know it is the sincere
hope of all the Council, that in the year 19~9 we will be able to acecaplish
emmathing that will be evidence to our fellow olttzene that we are establishing
stable and efficient 6ov~.-u.mt in our City.
We never can lose sight of the fact that ma..v of the poltcbs which we
she;;lS like to carry out have to be sinhat mo~/fted to conform with the stat-
utory requite that define council peregattves. This coanctl of 19~9 will
proud we a~e of our splend/d !~oltce force and our fireman for the sl~ndtd sexwice
they have ren~lered to our-fair-city.
May I at this ~- also avail ~TBelf of the opportunity of saying a word
of +-h~nk you and appreciation to M/as Stokes of the Niagara Falls Review and to
M~ss I~ of the Nia~ Falls Gazette; an~ to Mr. t~dford of Padis Station CHY8.
~eso three people have keen most generous with their t~m- an~ very fair in the
accounts and r-.~ks .they had. to rn.l~e about our council n~eti~, either through
the medias of the press or the radio. We look forward to another 3~ar of pleas-
ant ansociation with them hem in our council meetings.
I~ things of interest have happened to our citizens durlng the past
year but T feel that one of major ~mportance was the re~val of the street car
tracks anA the repavin~ of the s~, acc~lished in such a short time with hard-
ly an7 inconvenience to business men or sh~ppors. This was ~ accomp~shed under
the splendid supervision of Mr. Orr end hie staff. /f I might use the vernacular
expression, I feel this certainly has given Niagara Falls the 'ne~ look'. I could
6o on at scene length in an~nerating o~_er thin~s which have bee acc~lished, but
I know the citizens can see th~ ..a that they appreciate the accc~lis~m-nts as
well.
In ~ former iuaU~uration speeches, I have always tried to stress the
co-operatiou ~_~-_t shoul~ exist between the Nayor and the Council. ~n~s has in-
deed existed in the last two years an~ it is something of which I am very apprec-
iative. I feel as I have in ~_~ pant, that we cannot afford to allow deliberat-
ions to depax~c in the slighest respect frc~ that high consideration we owe to the
dignity of the task before ue and the trust imposed upon ne. ]~itterness of con-
troveray ill-beeches men vested with the confidence of their fellow citizens.
May I repeat what I have said in the last two years, that there are only two sides
to every question under debate end the two sides relate directly to the question
itself. Them is never a personal side. Our c~mcil should be a fort~ for the
expression of anbiased spirelens aml the very nature of that forum demands that
opinions should he received with respect. I sincerely hope that our two new mem-
bers of 0sunoil will take ~hie to heart as never once during our council meetings
of the year 19~8 did the council have any debate which did not have these ~riu-
ciples observed.

Under the British lqorth America:Act of 1867, hans mmtctpal affalre
came under the Jurisdiction of the Provincial Legislat~re. Previous to 1867, the
cities and towns were practically separate units, with little or no responsibility
to ar~ higher authority and it s~eaks ~ol~es for the civic pride of the first
cities of Canada's o~ier urban O~mmities that, with very few exceptions, they
kept their respective local ~overnmente not only free frc~ sca~-~-~]e but in the
high state of efficiency. Our Daninion of C~ad~ is divided into ap!~roximately
3,800 municipalities including 330 cities and towns. ~e rest of the nn~xicipal-
itiee which ~q~e up this n~nber are rural or village c_~mmmities. Each con~nn~ity,
however small, is a camplets unit in itself for civic purposes and responsible 'to
one authority only, other thin the taxpayers, namely, the Department of Municipal
Affairs. The ~!cipal government, properly eamJ~is~red) ~ana a conservation of
life an~ all those resources which tend toward economic develolm~nt of the ccm-
munlty and the betterment of social conditions. It is localized h~nan eftorS
which, when properly directed, 'is 'capable of great things.
the year' l~}, I wish to c~ll your attention to the following:
I feel there are a few ,major points which must be given consideration
during the earning year. Municipalities ..mr be freed fran hospital, child welfare
unemployment relief end Justice administration costs. Municipal governments are
entitled to sufficient revenue to finance the activities required of them by law.
These revenues they nee~ should be determined by the responsibilities they as- -
s~e. Our municipality should not be erpected to asses an~ responsibility bey-
ond the Just capacity of our taxpayer to affoxt or for whichadequate financial
provision has bean made available by the Federal and l~o~inctal Go~x-,~ent.
pandin~ mmicipal services are possible on~ to the extent that sxpm~ing rev-
enue and resources become auilable. T ~SO feel that an attempt should be made
to decide what preferties, now exen~t, should be properly liable for municipal
assesssent. ~he exemption of federal and pro~tncial Crou property frc~ local
+~-~tien continues to be a burden on local ~ova~-~nte and their citizens. In
aces municipalities includ~ our own~ there is a very heavy cuncentr~tion of
such property, while in other mnnicilmlities it is e~mnat a minus fac.tor.
unfair for municipalities to have to forego an~ revenue on such proper~y, while
at the same t_~, providing it with the same ~micipal services un4 facilities
for which pl~ate property owners pay property taxes.
I m definitely of the oplnian that the Province should esmark a more
adequate share of ~asoltue tax revenue and also liceuce fees for roadwa~ _mint-
enanse and ~ewelolment by municipalities. ~his revenue should be distributed in
1. During the year 19~8, the develolmnent of the Morse-Miaener subdivision
was exbenstve. ~e Falls Construction Canpasty canplated the erection of twenty
hc~es on Hartart Avenue between S, mmw~r Street and l~orth Street and have under con-
struotion twenty-one hanes on Morse Avenue an~ nine homes on the east side of
D~mwond Roa~. Water and sewer services have been provide~ on Morse Avenue but
the ourbe, ~uttors, sidewalks and road surfaces will have to be con~lete~ in the
present year. ~ sale of lots on Missnet Street and lienart Avenue south of Sum-
~er Street would lniicate that services will have to be installed early in the
year. Hartart Avenue will have to be extended south to I, undy's Lane an~ S~m~er
Street, west to Drxnmmon~[
2. Y~ate in the s~mner an agreement was enters& into with the Central Mort-
gage and Housing Corporation for the erection of fifty-one hoses for wa~ veterans
in the area bounded b~ Slater Avenue, .Valleyway and Stanley Avenue. Although the
ins+-~.tion of sewers and water mains is being carried on at the present time,
it will be nscessax7 in the spring to proceed with the construction of sidewalks,
roadS# eto,
Lato in 19~8, the construo~ion of a sewer on Stanley Avenue from Ing*
lie Drive to .Valleyway was ccamplete&. This will make it possible to provide
local improvements on Ynglis Drive and Alexander Crescent if buildin~ conditions
warrant the' expenditures.
~xe City ha~e acquired title to the la~s nscesear7 for the extension
of Homewoo~ Avenue fran Morrison Street to 'Valley,ray ~ this work should be con-
si&ere~ by Council..
The City have also acquire~L title to the lands neeease_v7 for the exten-
sion of Huron Street from Sixth Avenun to Homewood Avenue. The removal of the
steel tower from the street allowance has been completed ~.r~ the grading of the
.street should be considered early in the year.
6. Water ar~ Sewer services have been installed on Finley Street and if
building c~aittons warrant, it may be uecoesax7 to construct stdevmllm, roads,

Avenue between Bridge Street and Fernson Street. The Niagara Farks C.~,deslon

As you are aware, the Councils for several years have studied the pos-
sibility of installing modern office equipment for the assese"ent an~ tax dopart-
msnts of the City. Due to the failure of the cash register, it Is necessary that
some definite ~ecision in this matter should be made as it is absolutely essen-
tial that a new cash re~ieter be purchased in the near future ~d such a ,m~t
shonM be designed to function with the receipt forms to be used by all depart-
monte of the City.
As We have arrived at the en&~of 1~8 and starting the new ~ear 1~9,
our inventory again leaves much to be deslind. I~eolutton and anticipations which
seeae~ to augur a ~ear bright achievements, have fallen short of realization.
But progress, we ~elieve, has far outweighed the disappoin~aente. The capital
assets of a democratic consciousness, ~aticnhocd and civic pride are ours still
to cherish aml to foster aml therein lies the hope that high ideals ma~ reach
fruition. We must stress and fortify our liabilities, such as apath~ indolence,
dishonesty, subversion. To do this is our duty, for thus bein~ alert to evils,
we can acl~ress th~n an~ In that way we best serve our citizens.
MaT I close with an expression of apprecia~ion to all those who have
att4mded the inauguration services here this morning and may I express the hope
that as in 7eaz~ past, our fair Cit~ of Niagara Falls will continue to be the envy
of all the worM.

been passed before the new arena building was erected, and was opposed to the
closing of the street. Both men were of the opinion also that property in this
area would now be depreciated due to the arena and Mr. Rare, who was speaking on
behalf of his sister who owns a house in this section, suggested that there should
be a reduction of taxes. His Worship Mayor Houck advised that this was a matter

ployed by the sewer gang while working on city streets and suggested that signs
should be erected for the protection of these workmen, advising motorists ~hat
there are man.. at work.
Ald. Inglis commented on the recent announcement made by the Honourable
Mr. Abbott, Minister of Finance, with reference to federal grants to municipal-
ities, and referred to the fact that the assessments in the City of Niagara Falls
as quoted in the local press, total only $198,~00.00. He felt the Assessor
should consider increasing the assessments on federal properties in order that
advantage might be taken of such grants.
~ld. Inglis referred to the announcement made by Mr. R.S.Saunders,
Chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, with reference to the
proposed tunnel which is to be constructed in this area; and was of the opinion
that such an announcement was not well timed and the Chairman did not state Just
when this work would commence. The alderman felt this would undoubtedly cause an
influx of people seeking employment which woul~ not help the housing situation or
employment problem in this City. His Worship Mayor Houck stated that he had al-
ready brought this to Mr. Saunder,s attention when he was in the City, requesting
his consideration.

Another ~a~portant subject that Z believe we wlll have to deal wlth this
year is that of unemployment, and we must continue to draw to the attention of the
Federal C~ve,~ent the growing cost of unemployment relief. I think the Federal
6ovex-..~nt eho:,!a at once t-~ whatever steps my be necessary to relief the mun-
lcipallties of the cost of unemployment relief. The failure to do this durin~ the
prewar depression years forced many municilmllties into dire financial straits.
It seems quite natural if the Ontario l~ydro C~-.,,~elon goes ahead with the big
power development in this vicinity that u~em~loyment won't be of paramount import-
once to us for the next few years; but at the same time we will have to Jealousl~
guar~ against the arriving into our city of men from all parts of Canada locking
for e~loyment. It is oar duty to see that the men in our district are given
first attention and given the best Jobs which are available. Cities where the
people are kind and nsighbourly and have an interest in the welfare of others are
better than cities of greater wealth where eelfish interests prevail. It is the
~"~ity of the citizens who mak~ up a city which is mere important t~u the
ount of their intone. A city s~lvances only u~on the efforts and the achievements
of the individual and we are the individ,,~=. I wonder hew many persons serious-
ly consider the i~,~ responsibility of every citizen to his c~nity. Most peo-
ple believe that public service is the sole responsibility of elected civic of-
ficers an~ many Individuals believe their duty and interests in c~nity affairs
ends after they have fulfilled their civic obligation of voting. Every individ-
ual has a responsibility to his cc~nu~ity which goes beyond the mere voting for
civic officers. We must co-operate with those officers and the police and fire
departments and other a~encies of the city so that own town will be well run.
We should Join in c~,-,,~nity enterprises and co-operate in other undertakins des-
igne~ to ma~e our c~nity more progressive. If every member of our co~.nunity
would give as much attention to his duties as a citizen and lo$~xl booster of the
c~ity as he does to his rights and privileges as a citizen, then c~c pride
would come to ~ ~ of us naturally.
Respectin~ the work progranmz for the year 1950, 8cmz of the following
matters wall have to be given coustderstton:.
1. During the year 1949 practicR~y ~ seA-~Aces were installed for the
Morse-Misensr subdivision and ~1~ Iota in the sub&ivision were sold. The devel-
olment of a small park for the area should 1~ proceeded with in the present year.
2. During 1949 all the necessary services were c~m~leted for the Wartime
I~ous~n~ develo.~.~ut between 81ater Avenue an~ Stanley Avenue. However, during
the present year, it will be necessary to complete Valleyway ~-~ Stanley Avenue
to Sixth Avenue. This will provide a mUch-needed traffic artery.
Duri~ the year 194~ the 3~e sewer on Stanley Avenue between Morrison
Street a~ MoRse Street was o~le~ed. ~is made it possible to construct a sewer
on Alexander Crescent to permit the erection of houses in this area. In the year
19~0 it will be necessary to construct the remainder of the services on Alexander
Crescent an~ to proceed with the ins+~tion of services on Inglis Drive.
Durin~ 'the year 1950 it will be nscesssi7 to complete the extension of
l~mswood Avenue between Morrison Street an~ Valleyway. ~e necessax7 sewer and
water naius have alread~ been lusteLls& on this street.
· Upon co~A~letion of negotiations with. the New York Central for an ease-
ment uud~r their tracks, it will be nscessax.~. to proceed with the const~Ixction
a stem sewer extendin~ fron the corner of Seneca S~reet and Ontario Avenue to
the corner of Elmorth Circle an~ St. Xawronce Averuns l~relieve almost, continuous
flooain2 in the Elmorth Circle area. ~"
6. For a manbar of years there has been floeSinS dua. i~ heavy storms in the
area ednacent to the corner of Centre Street an~ Victoria Avenue. A new storm
wate~ sewer shou3/be oOuetnmtea to relieve this. conditlon_.,~ .
7. During the year 1949 the council authorized the purchase of an auxil-
iary substation unit for the filtration plant at Chippawa. This unit is under
construction at the Present time and will be installed early in the present year.
~is will provide an additional measure of safety in the operation of our water
supply station. The Council of 1949 also authorized the Purchase of a new high-
lift pmnp and motor for the filtration Plant to replace a unit now in service but
sonsi~ered n-_~afe for continuous oPeration, due to the condition of the motor.
~is new ~-!t will be In service early in the Present year.
8. The Council of 1950 will be called upon to study the necessity of In-
stalling a dpulicate water main between the filtration plant at Chippawa and the
City of Niagara Falls. The continued increase in Popu/ation in the area at pres-
ent sul~lled with water by the City of Niagara Falls makes It necessary to review
~Ahs capacity of the existing facilities.
9. Negotiations for additional dump accommodation were carried out in 1949
and it issnticipated that these will be completed at an early date. If these neg-
otiations are successful, then sufficient dumping space will be available for ap-
prox~matel~ five years.
10. ~e council of 1949 decided that any study leading to the installation
of modern office equipment for the assessment and tax departments should be ref-
erred to the 1950 council. ~Is matter should be taken up early in the new year.
11. In 1949 the City Council authorized alterations to the city building
at the corner of Park Street and Welland Avenue in order to provide more adequate
acocmamxlation for the Department of Health. Work has proceeded steadily and as
practically all materials have now been secured, it will be Possible to utilize
these quarters almost ~mm~diately'
12. At the Present time, the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena is nearing com-
pletion. It will be the duty of this council to see that the building program.~
is satisfactorily ccmpleted and that the operation of the arena is carried for-
ward in such a manner as to provide the ma~.._.! service to the cmm.,nlty at a
reasonable cost. It is hoped that the date of the official opening can be annou-
nced within a few days.
I want to el'press m~ aPPreciation to Aldermen Donald, tnglis and Jolley
and to Mr. 0rr for the wonderful Job they have acccmplished pertai~ing to our
arena. ~ey have spent hours that no one will ever know about in co~m~ittee and
~nvestigation work and I do want the citizens to realize that to these four men
goes most of the credit for ~he a~ena. (His Worship Nayor Houck also voiced his
appreciation to all other ~odies who have functioned in the progress of the arena
construction, Particularly the Greater Niagara Chamber of Co,~roe And the of-
ricers of the same. )
I know I am expressing the stentiments of all members of Council when
say it is oar sincere wish as we go fomard into this new year, that it will be
fruitful of the best that is in us for. the future of our splenddd c~mmunity. I
know~ are looking with confidence to this year as one which will see our cc~an.
~ty eraergo from economic uncertainty and enter a period of renewed Pr~uerity. It
is our earnest hope that o~r thoughts will not be selfish ones but that oar
thov~hte will ~e for the welfare of oar country and our fellow citizens; sc to
all our citizens of this great city, from its coancil, I venture to wish them all
the haPpiness an~ prosperity ~-t the new year can bring.

utions further on the subject. It was moved by Ald. Donald and Jolley that the
Oit~'a representatives on this Co~udttee should attend the Toronto meeting.
With reference to any control that Council might exert concerning the
Boax~l of Education,s estimates, the Minister stated that there is no control utll-
izable by Council and that the o~ly solution seem to be a roundtable conference.
~he Honourable Minister was asked if any additional grants or subsidies
would be forthcoming in the year 1950 for munic~lities, and he stated that no-
~hing of this nature, that is no further grants or subsidies, were being consid-
ered for the present.
The matter of assessment or re-assessment was discussed with the Min-
ister and he etated that his staff is available as consultants aml would train
~ersone, make spot assessments and assist'~in ar4v way possible; and that Mr.
Sloan, Assessment Supervisor of hie Department, who is well-informed on such mat-
tars would be available if required. It was ordered on the motio~ of Ald. Donald
an~ MacDonald that the lioncurable Minister be ;asked to arrange for Mr. Sloan to
come to Niagara Falls, consult with the City Manager and the Assessor and attend
a Council meeting.
The question of annexation was also discussed with the Honourable Min-
ister and although he had no quntable opinion, he was of the opinion that over-
flow areas should be aunexad and he ha& found that people who, in the first in-
stance, were opposed, following annexation, were in favour. A full discussion on
this matter then took place and it was ordered on the motion of Ald. Inglis and
' 'Hawk[us that the City Manager prepare a f,~l and complete confidential report on
all details of annexation, costs, advantages, disadvantages and any other pertin'-
ant items.

referred to The Ontario Municipal Board who would deal with it.
The ;xonourable Minister was asked whether his Department exerted any
control over the surplus from the revenue account and he advised that the Depart-
ment did not have control and would not interfere if I t were set up an& earmarks&
for specific purposes.

request for the utilization of thirty-six l~ssen6er buses instead of the present
~.~usea having a capacity of twenty-six ~assen~ere on the main routes of the City;
,IIM1. also the possibilit~ of a re~ueet for an amendment to the Public Vehicles A~t
~ the matter in some detail and etated that inasmuch as the preS-
.=~t buses were purchasecl for-operation in this city and ha~ not ~et been operat-
. isient to .reo,.te th., it .en not be bus ess to
tham for larger units~ ~ut he still would net recommend such a change
~ he was satisfied that if a chanee were made, it would result in poorer service,
~teher fares and less employment. He also felt that the City of Niagara Falls
was not large enou6h for this ~ of operatien and tha smaller buc was the best
Proposition. When ashed if he had an~ solution to the problem here, h~ stated,

f~ther that if the N.S. &. T. were force~ into such operations, the nnmioi~altty
