Carried To the membe~'s of the .~ldex~anic ~ard of 1939: hdies and Gentlemen: I would again thai the electors for the henour of reprsent- i~ them as I.~yor of the City of Niagara Falls. I also w~t to congrat- 'ulnte all others elected to a position of confidence and houour. To those who were unsuccessful. I offer my congratulations as ~vell, for ' their public spirited integer in the welfare of this Cit~. We could not all win, some must lose, and to you I would say, it is hotter to t~z to do s~ethi~ and fail than to t~ to do nothi~ and succeed beautif- ully, for after all:- "~at is failure? 'Tis but a spur To the one who receives it right, · ~d it lnakes the spirit within him stir To go In once more end fight. If you never have failed, it's ~,n even ~ue~s That you never have won a high success." It is cuerotary, I believe, at the initial co~cil m~mti~ of the year for the ~ycr-elect to outline his policy to the Conncil, or to make his "Inau~;ural Address". l~lne will he brief. There ere only two matters I wish to place before your attention ~tt this time, and the first 2 is that I sincerely hope that during the coming year no person in this City shall need for any reasonable comforts or necessities of life and I want to congratulate all those who have been taking care of those responsibilities for the posy years. I also wish to express ray appreciation of all organ- izations and individuals who helped to make Christmas happier for many of our citizens. The second ranttar is this, that this Council concentrate their efforts to lighten the burden of the tax-payers and citizens who have hencured us with this responsibility. No matter what question comes before this Council during 1935, it will be subordinate to those issues I haw~. mentioned, and all I ask every member of this 193~ Council to do is to weigh ew;ry issued that is placed before you on this basis--will it lighten the burden of the Tax- payer? ~ld is it iu the interests of the City in GauBral? I hope each of us will vote on evary issue with an eye single to such a consummation, free from personal prejudice, uninfluenced by sentiment, and regardless of pressure or any kind from any source whatsoever. Some of the mstters with which you will have to deal are: funding our Debenture Debt, the Water question, Itydro Taxes ~md exchaI~e of property offered by the Wellend Securities, and I feel confident that you will give these matters your serious consideration and that no oction will be taken on any question until every meHber of the Council is com- pletely conversant with every detail of it; end that no undue haste will be exercised in any of the matters that come before you during ~he year. I feel assured that the Council will show e spirit of co-op- eration on all matters end legislate in the best interest of all citizens. I thank you. OttAS.

Before the motion wee put, Mayor ~derson wmated the Chair, and appointed Ald. White es Aetix~ Mayor, in order that he might move an amen~ent, as follows: "That in view of the financial gain to Stamford and Niagara B~lls, a colrmlittee of the City Co~mcil, hold e meeting with the Townstrip Coun- cil and Mr. Gordon Scott to consider some financial co;:pensation fo~ him because of his loss of business throu~x the new location of his tourists camp reads necessary by the construction of the new Portage Road extension end bridge." In support of the smlendment, His Worship spoke to the Council as follows: "I agree with the sentiments of ~Lld. Ne~mlan and poxtold, this would be a good fireracial deal for the City of Niagmm Falls. But, to ~ mind, there looks up in the baekgroud, a picture of a ~orgotten msn~ Gordon Ssott. Sores time ago I mad in the Review whe~ },it. Scott app- lied to the Township Council for conpensation for tile los~ 6f 'business due to the change of his tourist camp site. He was one of the young men who went from this City, enlisted and went overseas doing his full complement of front line service. He cema Back to Niagara Fells, minus an eye, one foot and p~'t of a leg. I happened to be working in a place where Scott was employed when he c~me back from oversees. He didn't lay dewre, he got a Job, although he was drawing a mall pension from the ~overnment. Later, that plent closed down, end Ssott was ployed by the waterworks department in the booster pump house. He saw the possibilities of a tourist csrap on the M.C.I~. property overlook- ing the Fells, estnblished one there, operating it suocoasDllly. lie 3G asked no favours. ~ virtue of the improvement made at Falls View, includinE the road approaches and new bridge, he was compelled to leave his camp site and move to the present location and it is for this loss of business he is seeking compensation. I am perfectly certain that any fair-minded business man, after cc~',paring tile two sites, would agree that Scott is entitled to compensation. "I am unwi llinE that I should go on record as allowing a deal of flnancisl gain to the City at the expense of this man. There is a debt of grstitude and henour which I think the City and Country owesto Gordon Scott end any other man who nmde the sacrifices he made. It is unfortunate it should be connected with the proposition, and I smprepared to move a delegation from this Council meet with the Towlmhip Council sad Mr. Scott in view of the financial gain to the City and To~ashlp, and arrange a fair settlement with him. "I am not pleadii~ for charity for Scott. He doesn't want char- ity. He doesn't need chsrity. He is asking for fair play.. I hope it can be arranged so it will not be said that Stamford and Niagara- Fells' financisl gain will be Scott's loss." Ald. White said he had visited the booster pumphouse prop- arty in the past few days, end was surprised to lesl'n the City owned so little property there. '~he only possible use for the site, if retained by the City, is a service station," Ald. ~hite said, and - if the City is assured it will not he required to bear the cost or moving the pipes, he would approve of the transfer. Speaking to ~yor Anderson, Ald. White said that there were 40,000 forgotten men in Canada, of which he was one. ' The Alderman stated that when he had returned to Canada, he got no special con- siderstion, he returned a sick men, and had to travel thousands of miles to regain health, sad was forced to lose a Job which was his by 'virtue of twenty years' service. As there was no seconder to the amendment, it was not put, and the original motion was therefore voted on, and carried. No. 52 - G.RoInglis, Esquire - re submitting report of Supervisors for perusal of Council. ORDERED on the motion of Ald.

Twidale and Scott spoke on the restreread stated that they were in fayour of the agreeant, inasmuch as the people had voted on it, sad they felt the sme should be consun~uated. His Worship, Mayor ~mderson asked Aid. Scott to take the Chair, in order that he might speak on the matter. Mayor Anderson said he felt the importance of the question, having the interests of the tax-payers at heart, and ast~d that his agreement be given some Consideration. Ald. Hanniwell stated that he had been opposed to the agree- meut, duri~g ths election, but favoured having a conference upon the matter. Ald. Nev~nsn said he had always been opposed to selli:~ water to the Township at 5sl~, but when the people had voted for the agreem- ent, their wishes should be complied with. ftld. White pointed out that the City v~ould only be selling surplus water, and although the Townxhip was receiving water at a very low rate, there had been the possibility of the Towlmhip going else'- where for water, and it was wise to sell the water st this price, rather than have it on hand. Aid. Donald stated he was in sympathy with the agreement and was agreeable to holding a conference. Mayor Anderson again took the floor and quoted figures in support of his agreelaent and stated that he was opposed to the Town- ship securing Water at such e low price (when the Hydra paid 17~ per thousand ~;ellons). The Mayor was of the opinion that a special meeting should be held to t~ into the different phases of the two agreements. The City ~lianager suggested, in view of the fact that there seemed to be some difference in figuressubmitted, that His ~orship submit a statement in writing, together with the City Mam~ger's, to the City Auditors, and they might decide as to v~hether or not the agree- ment is in the best intsrcsts of the City. Ald. Stephens spoke on the matter, and said he was very fav- ourably impressed by the agreement, and in view of the fact that tile Township surrounded tile City on all sides, except for the water bouad- cry, and as the City was making a profit by the agreement, that it would be advisable to go on with the agreement. He stated that the City would be making e profit by being freindly .and courteous to our neighbout. The City Manager read further figures on raix~all and pump- ages at the Filtration Plant for the years 193~ and 1934, as sonpar- icons. - 0RDERi~D see Resolution No. 29° The following Ret;orts were received: No. 1? - G.Y.Emery, Parks ~;uperintendent - reconm~.~endin~ removal of tv,'o Catalpa Trees from 846 Welland f~venue. 0i~D]Di[CD en the Inctjon of ~dd.

TWELI~t~ kL~ETIHG Council Chamber, E,~rch 11, lSij5. REGUL'd] ].~TING Pursuant to adjourrmmnt, the Council mot at 4.30 p.m, to con~ siuer General Business and Finance. All members of the Council were present. The Council, having received and read the minutes of time ]~rev- ioUs meeting, these were adopted on the motion of ~.ld. Donald and Tw]dale, His Worship the Mayor desired it placed on record that he was opposed to that portion of the minutes of the last Council meeting, with reference to the agreen~ t with the Township of St~u~.:ford. DEi UTATI~.]]S On the motion of Ald. Ne~nan and Vdlite, it was ordered that one representative of the Unemployed be heoa'd. Cerried EIr. Peter Gordon, as representative of the Unemployed, address- ed the Council, and stated that the mutter which he wished to be brought before the C~uncil was of an emergent nature. ~Ir. Gordon explained that at the present tinme' the Unemployed had suffered a cut in relief, o~luivalent to appro~iraet,~;ly 12~% of .~]~e~r former allowances. ~hile the unen~ployed realized that the (~verm!xent had full control over the Relief of the City, they would request that the City Council endorse the fact titat tbis cut was an extreme hardship to Niagsra Palls, not only to the Una~_ployed, but to tile merchants of the City. Farther, the unemployed object to the cut, in view of the fsct that there is extravagance in the adnlinistration of Relief in this City. They also object to the systmx of distributiou which is now in force, believing that this syst~ gives almost absolute power to }.If. Clarke, the Administrator, ard the visitors, and they would asks that the Council protest to the Goverxmmnt agair~!t tile method of administr- ation of relief. Mr. Gordon stated that tile Unemployed were taking this meas- ure to demonstrate that they were dissatisfied ~':ith the contrition as they exist, which are grievous. They felt that this totter should be given consideration, inasmuch as the Unemployed constitute 42% of the population of the City. Mr. Gordon stated that the chain stores had already been not- ified that they might expect no more Relief vouchers, and this v:ould constitute further hardship. Ald. White stated that there w~s no doubt that the Conncil was unable to interfere with any matters pertaining to Helief, inasmuch as the Relief ~ms handled only by the Goverr~mnt. If, however, there was anything which could be do~e to aid the Unemployed, the Council would be quite willing to help. ~kld. Nev~nan arose to speak on the nmtter, and objection was raised by His Worship the ~Isyor, inasmuch as no resolution had b~en placed before Council, so this matter was not properly before tl~ f~lder- tannic Board. His Worship suggested that a nlotion be placed before the alder~mnic Board, to the effect that the ~equest of ~Ir. GordoI~ was open for discussion. Ald. Newman, however, refused to move such a faction. Ald. White apologized to tits Worship for speaking upon the matter which was not properly before the Council for discussion, and moved the followl~yg liesolution, sacexiled by Ald, ttsnniwell: No. 21 - I'~[ITE - I~I'I[~I~F.I,L -- Resolved that the subject matter as placed before Council by Mr. Gordon, he discussed, anti the Seal of the Corpor- ation be hereto affixed. Carried Ald. Norman stated that he could not see how the Council could in any way interfere ~vith a Government measure, believing that if the Council did intercede, there was the possibility that the Goverlnnent would suggest that the City take the x~tter over completely. Ald. Netmmn wished it placed on record that he thou~'~ht it un- wise to havestarted a Cash Program sad later oust same off, as this had caused a great deal of bardship. Mr. Nevm~an did not blame the Administr- atior, as he was actin~ under orderes, but believed that In certain cases the Government had made totters worse by makin~ orders and then counter- mending same. Ald. Stophens stated that he thought the persons on relief had shown a great deal of patience under trying circumstances. The Alderman did not think the Council had any right to go before the Government in ~ protest against their regulations, but he did believe the Unemployed had the right to come before tile Council. Mr. Stephens m~g, ~ted that the pro- test of the Une~loyed might be forvmrded to the C~ver~ment by the Coun- cil, without comment, sad stated that he felt that because the City was unable to act, as far as financial matters are concerned, he did not see why they could not make an effort to have wron.~Ts righted. At this point His Worship the ~yor thought tl~t the Council should move a motion to deal ~'~ith the question which was before them, and objected to Ald. Stephens prolonging the discussion without such a motion being before the Aldermania Board, suggesting that the ~dderman ~as talk- ing to tile press. Ald. Stephens, in reply strongly objected to the ~iayor's allegations that he was talkir~ to tile press, and moved the following motion, seconded by ~ld. Eannlwell: RESOLVED that the substance of the report of tile delegate of the Unemployed, be for~'~arded to the Goverment, without comaeat. Motion Lost Ald. ~.~idale stated that she did not feel she was living up to her Oath of Office in interfering with matters over which the Council have no control, and that this matter of tile ed,~inistration and distribution of relief was entirely outside the province of the Council. Mrs. ~,~idele thought it would be unwise to tile extreme to interfere in tM~ matter in any way. Ald. Donald stated that while the Council was in sympathy with the Unemployed, he felt that it would be unwise to make en~ suggestions to the Goverm~ent ill the matter. Ald. Scott also stated that while he was in agreement with the UneMployed, he thought as long as the C~ver~aent was handling the Relief, the Council had no right to make any demands or au~Eastions. Mr. Gordon again took the floor and stated that he did not bel- ieve the Council realized what it would mean if, they were to intercede in the matter. On the motion of ~,ld. t~niwell and Stephens, Mr~J.GoDewsbury, was permitted to .address the 9elmoil. Mr. Dowsbury stated that ha would ask what could be done in con- nection with arrears of water rates on a house where the te~mnt ~,Dves out without notifying the o~mer, l~ving a bill to be paid, and where the land- lord had net agreed to pay for such water rates. ~. Dawsbury stated that one of his tenants had vacated hCs property, leaving a balance of ~5.83 i which ~'~o~Ild have to be paid before the water could be turned on again, and it would be up to the owner to pay tile same, although ha had no previous knowledge of the account. It was ordered on the motion of f. id. Scott ~md jte]d:ens that the matter be left in.the hands of tile City Lian:.~ier, with the power to act.

RhDUL.R 1.~ETIi,IG lhu'susnt to adjourlmlent, the Council met at ,t.30 p.m. to c:.n- sider General iSusisess and Finance. ~tll members of the Council, vdth tile excepti~u~ of Ald. t~ite were present. The Conncil, baring received and read the minutes of the previous meeting, these ~ere adopted on the motion of i~ld. Stephens and Scott. ' DEI~UT~.TiONS Invitation had been extefided in the ~l~rch 20th and 32nd issues of the Niagara Falls k~enix~ Review to any perso~s interested in the To~u'ist trade, to attend this m sting of the Council, and express their views as to the soliciting of tom'isle in this City. On the motion of ~ild. Scott and IIe~mmn, the meeting was open for the discussion of the matter, and IIis Worship tile Lieyet invited any person in the hall to state his views. },h's. I~ Lienson spoke ~d stated tt:at st:e ~visbed to give her opinions on behalf of tile v;idows throu[~hout the City, who sirerated a Tourist Home aN a means of a livelihood, ~md thou~ht that these persons should he exempt from taxation. Mrs. Manses said that the soliciting of tourists near her home was done exte~sively, and tourists had been taken away from her door. Mr. E. Pit%weed said that the taxi-men throughout the City did a great deal of soliciting and the home-owners were not allowed to do likewise. tie was of the opinion that the taxi-men thought they had priority over any other person. He could not see why soliciting was in- Jurious to tile City. fir. Digweed stated' that persons soliciting give much valuable infonmation to the tourists, in advising them of the, best sights to seem, best restaurants, etc. Also, persons on the b~ck streets were forced to solicit in order tlmt they might secure tourists. They were not fortunate enoui~ht to be on streets wilere tourists pass and con- sequently, business did not cores to them. TIle speaker stated that as far as the sign was concerned, for advertising: purposes, it ~ms not worth enough to pay the license fee. 1.br. Digweed could not see why soliciting of tourists should be an offex~.e when soliciting of other kinds was per- mitted, and thought there was nothi~Z wrong in a person solicitln~ openly. Also, he thought it was' unfair to charge a license fee of the se;!~ amount to people v~ho accorm~odate 12 ~)ersons, as a person who can only accentled- ate siX. ' ' Mr. A. ~.lannette agreed with the previous speaker, end felt thst if a person v~as permitted e license, he should be allowed to get tourists in an honest way. He could not see that the soliciting, of tourists was more harmful than the solici~ for steamship eor.~snies end for rest- aurants. If a man is unemployed, he thought he sho'uld be pl'rmitted to solicit and endeevour to earn a living. If n men is employed, and solic- iting, he thought this should be stopped. tie said that it was true that the hotels had to make money, and could not solicit, but thouf~t that the little business the tourist-home owner carried on would not lnjur the business of the hotels. Airs. B. Phillips advised that her only wish was that tile By- law as it stands on the books of the City at the present time, be en- forced. This by-law had had the sanction of the Depurtment end had cost the City a considerable ,nnoullt of money, and she believed it should be enforced. Mrs. PhillipS stated that she would like 'to see 'the pradt'is'e of beckoning, pointing and waving stopped, as it was detrimental to tile section of the City in which it was done. ~tr. L.M.Yenken looked e! the .~r tn~.r ef s~qi,:itir~; that we are livi~ in a free country, and if he a]~ls,eacb,~ and in s sane and ri~Zht Emnll~r speaks to the tourists, th~re is done. There is the mtisence of ~ person runnil~ up and chasi~; a car, but if a car is stopped, he did not believe there was any haln being done in socostiHg s~oh s car. I,,irs. Lic~uiag st~ted that she just wish~!d to h~ ar ~huz w, s done at the nesting, and thou~bt that the practise should be eitMn' putmilled, or else stopped altogether. ' ~.-!rs. X.Y.i/aFxbold said that she had resided in this City ill a tourist home as a guest for the pa:st two yeasts, and as a ~:uust off .~ueh a home, had come in contact with the tourists sad h~d also been able to oh- serve the actions of persons solicitin{~. She felt ~Jmt the :;olicitilVZ ef tourists had done much harm to the City, ~d had heard sev.ral visitors state that they were sa~rised at this condition, and on;~ part:, bad advised friends to make arrangements to stay outside the City, beemu;e of th~s con- dillon. I.~rs. Warnbold said, spelii~E as a taxpayer end resident of the City, that she would like to see the p~ctise stopped. Mrs. Iicl~enzie asked if it is pc ~mfissab!e for tuxi-dr~vers to peddle tourists, and stated that for th 'ee weeks she had been without any while friends of taxi-nan had had their homes filled. Ald. Nevnnan sJloke at this point, and wished to ,:xprcss his views on tile matter. He felt that if the prattlee was pcrmissable for one person it should be rif~ht for another, and tile ~lderman stated that he would stand for a fair arraI~JL~lent for everyone to be made. AId. Stephans stated that he appreciated the sag,'estions and views as expressed by tile Farsons, and pointed out that tl:e 'viev,'s were divar~;ent end suggested that an early date b~; set at which time the eations could be taken into consideration in en effort to got the matter cleared up. }Jrs. Fn!nk Young spoke and related an experience whick she had had, in connection ~ith the taking: of tourists, and tolc that nile had been followed by some taxi-men and again by tile police oil numerous occasions, when, she baliveal, these persoils were watehil~j to see if silo was solicit- ing. Ald. ~vidsle su~'ested that it might be feasible to ~lsk tile per- sons in the hall to signify whether or not they were in fayore, of the by- law being retained. Aid. Donald slid Itis Worship the Linyor pointed out that the per-s sons present were not representative of the tourists home-owners, through- out the City. pRD]~]{ED see Resolution J33.

The spe:lker stated that she and her ftm~ily were v~ithout food at the pres~nt time, and she had been down to tile Unemployment Rf!lief Bc~u'd and had asked to see the Sul~-F~isor. She was advisedthat they could do nothing for her, but if she went to a Doctor end received a certificate from him, they would sapply her with an or~ler for food.

SPECI,~L ~,~TING A Special MeetiB~ of Council was held on Wendestiny, April 3rd, 1935, at 7.30 p.m. All menbars of the Council, and Mr. R.J.Moore, Chair- man of the Committee of Supervisors, were present. Mr. Moore had requested that this meeting of Council be held in order that he might deliver the instructions issued by the Department of Municipal Affairs, in regard to the City accruing part of the cost of Rel- ief, and the Edministration of Relief, and also for the purpose of adjust- ing the Budget to take care of .the additional expenditures which will be Mr. Moore delivered the instructious, which were as follows: "I am instructed to notify you that it has been ordered that conmaencing on Monday, April 8th, 1935, the administration of relief in Niagara Falls will rest with the Municipal authorities. The Provincial Gave:re.cent, through the Unemploymen~ Relief Branch, will receive from the Municipality, monthly, stat~ut of Relief Expen- ditures in accordance with the Provincial regulations, and will re- fund to the Treasury of the City of Niagara Falls, ninety percent. of such expenditures. "Such relief expenditures as shall have bean made by represen- tatives of the Unmployment Relief Branch up to and including Sat- urday, April 5th, 1935, will be taken care of directly by the Pray- iaceo" The matter was discussed ~.t great length by the Members of the Council and Mr. Moore was asked for particulars upon the matter. His Worship the Mayor asked Mr. Moore whether or not the Govern- ment would assume ninety percent. of the relief, if the Council increased' the allowance made at the present tim. Mr. Moore was unable to state definitely about this, but believed that the Government would assume only ninety percent. of the allowances as made at the present time. His Worship the Mayor also asked Mr. Moore what induced the Gov- ernment to take these steps in regard to the City of Niagara, Falls. Mr. Moore replied that he could not say, but he had been under the impression that this action had bee n intimsted by the Honourable Mr. Croll to His Worship the Mayor, on his visit to Toronto, some days ago. His Worship then told the Council that on Thursday, March 28th, at 12 o'clock. midnight. he received ward that Mr. Oroll would see him in Toronto at 12.30 p.m. the folliwng day. Mr. Anderson went to Toronto the following morning, and interviewed the Hoecurable Minister. ,as requested, together with Mr. W.L.Houck, M.L.A. His Worship ateted that during the conversation, Mr. troll made the remark that he (the Mayor) was a generous fellow, and Lit. Anderson assumed that the ~llnister was referring to an in- cident which had happened the previous Saturday, when three of the unem- ployed women of the City had visited the Mayor,s office end stated that they were hungry and had not enough food to last them over the week-end. His Worship gave these woman funds sufricient to take them over until the following Monday, and advised Mr. Clark. the Adminstrator of the Unem- plo~Inent Relief Office, of that fact. played. Ald. Stephens stated that he was at a loss to understa~ why the Department had made this ruling, and felt that the City Council should de- cline to accept the responsibility until they had received clearer ilfform- ation from the Goverruaent. The Aldermen stated that if the City was being penalized for something, they should have the oF~ortunity of stating their case in the matter. His Worship the I,~yor stated that he felt, as Mayor of the City, that the Council should receive some official notification from the Depart- ment, as to why this penalty was being imposed. Mar. Moore pointed out to the Council that he had been sent to the City to see that the Budget was adjusted to take care of the additional expenditure - that his duty was strictly a financial one. At this point the following Resolution was passed: No. 41 - WHITE - DOiQAIJ) - Resolved that arrangements be made to have a delegation of the City Council interview the lion. Mr..Croll, at the earl- iest possible moment, in order that the matter of the City assuming the administration of relief, might be discussed, and the Seal of the Corpor- ation be hereto affixed. Carried No. 42 - ST:'ZPtth2QS - SCOTT -,Resolved that Mr. Idaore be requested to report back to his department that the Council of the City of Niagsa'a Falls re- quests an appointment with the Hoecurable Mimtstar of Municipal ~ffairs, in order that they might have an explanation as to why the Government is taking this action in Niagara Falls, and to hold in abeyance any changes in the status of the Relief Department of the City, ill the meretime, and the Seal of the Corporation be hereto affixed. .gar.rie.d.. E~. Moore pointed out to the Cotemil that he wonld be unable to hold in abeyance the regulations ,mless authorized by the lioncurable Min- ister. Mr. Moore was asked if other cities in Ontario had had those new regulations served upon them, and Mr. Moore replied that as far as he knew, Fort Erie was the only other municipality. The question was raised as to how many of the Council would be able to attend the meeting with the Hoecurable ~. Croll. E~. V~ite and Mrs. Twidale were unable to state definitely whether or not they would be able to attend. The following resolution was passed in this connection: No. 43 - NE~N - ST]~EIS - Resolved that as many as possible of the CaLm- cil attend the meeting to be held in Toronto, to interview the Hoecurable D.A.C roll, }~nister of Municipal Affairs, and the Seal of the Corporation be hereto affixed. -Carried l,ld. Scott expressed the opinion that Mr. W.L.Houck, M.L.A. had been remiss in not forwarding infommtion of this kind to the City Council when he had been in the City to address a gathering of the Unemployed. Ald. Newn~n cited a case where Mr. tbnck had informed the re- porters of the Niagara Falls Gazette that he had written no letters to the unemployed. The following day, members of the unemployed produced two letters, signed by, Mr. l~uck, stating that he would meet them at any time. The C~uncil then adjourned on the motion of ~,ld. Scott and Newman. 4 When the interview with the Minister concluded. Mr. troll told Itis Worship the M~yor that a letter dealing with the relief situsrAce would be forwarded to the City Council on the following da~. This letter has not yet reached the City, and His Worship was waiting for this letter for reporting of the interview officiall~v to the Council.

SPEIAL MEh~TING A Special L~eeting of Council was called at 4.30 p.m. on Friday, April 5th, 1935. All members of the Council, together with Mr. R.J.~.ioore, Chairman of the Conmit~ee of S~pervisors, ware present. Mr. Moore reported to the Council that the Itchcurable D.A. Croll had been in touch with him at noon and had asked ~.Yr. Moore to return to this City sad notify the Council, in reply to their telegram, that they would be called upon to asaume responsibility for the Relief Department on Monday, April 8th. His Worship the Mayor pointed out to Mr. Moore that during his interview with Err. Croll, the Minister had promised to send a latter to the Council, advising them of the changes he proposed to raake, and con- firruing the conversation which had taken place. His Worship felt that the information should be forwarded to the Council by other me~ms than through Mr. Cordon of the Unemployed. His Worship stated that he would under no consideration be responsible for the placi~J of approximately 3 additional raills on the taxpayers' rates of this City. Ald. Stephens stated that he felt that he had been in the pl- ace of the Eiayor, he would have let the Council know v:het had transpired at the interview with the Hencurable ~.~nister. His Worship the Mayor stated that he did come beck ~,~d report to Mr. Goddard and the press, but did not report to the Council, as he was awaiting the letter which the Minister had promised to send. His Worship the Mayor then related in detail, whet took place while he was in the Minister's office, with Eh'. Houck. Ald. Stephens again stated that he would cartaRtly have called the Council together in orcer that the matter might have been talked over. Ald. Nemau was at a loss to understand why this move had been taken, aug could not see why it should be reported in the press th~,t Mr. Croll had stated that this Council was taking cognizance of the unm- ployed, when actually, the Council was opposed to them. The Aldermen felt that the Council should be given an opportunity to defend thereselves, and if they have mde some mistake, they would be willing to make mends, but he did not feel that they should be penalized to the extent of having three mills .added to the T~x rate. Ald. White asked the M~yor whether or not the Minister had e~plained the matter, and the ruling to him, as Er. Moore had stated that the Minister had explained the matter. Hie Worship the ~nyor re- plied that he felt that any business of importance, in any office, would naturally be confirmed by a letter, and he was at a loss to understand why this letter from the Minister had not been forthcoming. The Mayor felt that the Council should receive a letter, and else should be grant- ed an interview. Ald. Twidale stated that she was at a loss to understand why this action had been taken, as the Council had never endorsed the de- mands of the Unemployed, other than granting pemission to conduct a cam- paign to secure signatures on a petition. Mia Worship the Mayor asked Mr. Moore if Fort Erie had been' notified to take over their relief in the same member as had Niagara Falls. Mr. Moore replied that h~ was unable to say. Ald. Donald felt that they probably had bad some intSmation us to ~ the~ were being called upon to take it over, G7 Aid. Stephens stated that he felt ti:e Council should see the Minister, that no stone should be left unturned in an effort to have the Government continue to assume the burden of relief. His Worship the Mayor stated that the Council had asked for an interview with the Minister, and he felt the Council was entitled to a reply. The City is in ~ decidedly difficult position in beix~; asked to take over the relief at such short notice. ~Lls Worship stated that he did not feel that he, or any member of the Council, had ever scted so unwisely as to warrant the addition of three :mills on the present tax rate. His Worship felt that the Council was entitled to sn expl~- atisn. ~kld. Nex~n~n stated that an increase of three mills in the tax rate would mean repudiation of debts mud non-pa]qnent of taxes. Aid. White asked Mr. Moo. re what, in his opinion, would happen if the City did not take over the Relief. Mr. Moore replied that the unemployed would tuldoubtedly come back on the Council, rather than go to Toronto, for their vouchers. The following motion ~ms put, but not voted upon: No. - WHITE - NEVA~] - Resolved that the City Council h~ve nothing whatever to do with the assuming responsibility for the Relief until such time as the Council hod seen the Minister, and the Seal of the Corporation he hereto affixed.

Mr. Houck advised the Council that the P' rks Commission had been asked to provide the sum of $1,500. for fireworks to be used in the Celebration of the King's Jubilee, but the Comnttssion felt that, in view of the large mount of unemployment in the City at the present time,, such an appropriation would be very unwise. ~lr.

DE~UTAT I 0NS In connection with Communication No. 164, Mr. Neylan of the Tourists' Information Bureau of Canada, wee permitted to address the Council, on the motion of Ald. White and Nov,man. Nr. Neylan explained to the Council that his Associstiou had come into the City end opened a Tourist Bureau without first request- ing permission of the Council, withcut any knowledge of the by-laws of the City, and without knowing that the permission of the Council should have been secured. The speaker outlined the activities of the Association. and informed the Council that they have branches in twenty-three other mun- icipalities in Ontario, and their aim was to provide the tourist with better information of the Province, and also to induce the tourist to stay in the Province for a longer period of time. The Associe tion is anxious to open a tourist bureau in this City, in order to complete a chain of such buresux sad so offer the most complete facilities poss- ible to the t~avelling public. The speaker stated that his form wee most anxious to conform with the regulations set out by the Council, and would be willing to operate the bureau under the direct supervis- ion of the Council. Nis Worship the Mayor asked Mr. Neylan if it was the pract- ice of the bureau to raceamend tourist homes and places of business cueida the City limits, because His Worship felt that if this is such a practice would be a detriment to business in the City. Mr. Neylan repled that if it is the wish of the Council, they would be quite willing to refrain from raceamending any tourist homes whatever. AId. Newman stated that he was opposed to the granting of permission to any association to operate an information bureau in the City, wheu such per~ssion was refused to a local man by the Council, some time ego. AId. White stated that he was impressed by the views ss set out by the representative, and felt that the City of Nisgara Falls should certainly ~o all in its power to promote adwertising ?f the City and its points of interest. However, the Alderman was not in fay- our of the permitting the bureau to operate, if it was going to be the practice of s~e to recommend certain tourist homes in preference to others. Co2~nunication No. 164 was read at this point, and Aid. }~nni- well then asked the City Manager to state what success the City and Chamber of Comeroe had had a few years ago in the operation of Inform- ation Buresux.

REGULAR I~;Ei'~TING Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met at 5.00 p .m. to con- sider General Business and Finance. All m~bers of the Council were present. The Council, having received aud read the minutes of the pr v- ious meetings, these were adopted on the motion of Ald. Hanniwell and White. CO~,~:UNICATIONS The following Communications were received: No. 165 - R.S.W.Fordham, Esquire - re title to land held by Christ Church. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Ne~',~nan and Scott that the conr. unicstion be received, and referred to the City Solicitor and City Manager for report. No. 166 - Chamber of Commerce - re invitation to New York Conservation- ists Association. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Donald and V~ite that the communication be received, end the invitation be extended, No. 16~ - Unemployment Relief Branch - re single men being discontinued from Relic f. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Stephens and Donald that the communication be received, filed and acknowledged. In connection w lth the above matter, Ald. White spoke, and stated that he felt this order did not give any lee-way to persons who were unemployable. This also did not provide for cases where no jobs are available. The Alderman stated that he did not wish to embarrass anyone, but from press reports, felt that the municipality was going to be in a worse position than when it asked for a Boardof Supervisors, and did not see how the municipality was going to be able to carry on as outlined in the press. Ald. Newman stated that he felt ss the previous speaker did, and he hoped that a portion of the Gowernment's order would be rescinded. The Alderman said that there was not one member of the Council who would not be glad to help in getting these men job~,,but felt that this would be almost impossible to do. His Worship the Mayor said that he had not yet expressed any opinion upon the matter, as he felt that Niagara Fells was in a rather unique position, in that the Government was paying one hundred percent. of the relief. His Worship pointed out that the citizens had contrib- uted readily at the beginning of the depression, and when they were un- ab&e to continue the Government had assumed two-thirds of the cost of Relief. This was continued until it was found impossible for the City to continue, and later the Governmen assumed the full cost of relief. This scenic to have been proceeding very satisfactorily, and the Cover- nment must have some good reason for issuing this order. While His Worship the Mayor felt that there were a number of single men who could be supplied with Jobs, he felt that it would be questionable in this municipality, if it would be possible to take care of a large number. It had been noticed that it was proposed that e number of the men should be absorbed in the Northern Road Construction projects, end His Worship had received several inquiries about this. I~s Wor- Ship Mayor Anderson expressed the wish that the single men would co- operate with the citizens, who, he felt, would do the best under the circumstances. If however, it was necessary, as mentioned in the press, to raise $~00,000. to take care of relief, this would mean an increase of elm. st B0% on the tsx-payere of the City. At the same His Worship felt thst we could net see say of our citizens in want. Ald. Stephens else spoke upon the matter, and felt that some- thing drastic must be done to pr vent the Province from getting into the same position as the City of Niagara Falls. The Alderman felt that if t his order was put into force, there would be s certainnumber of men who would become employed, but there would still be s larger number of employable and physicslly fit persons who would be unable to secure work, for whom it would he up to the municir:slities to take care of, and the municipalities would be forced to devi~e ways and means to see that these persons do not want. No. 168 - Gunning's Tire Service - requesting light standard to be re- moved from n~ar Neon sign. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Donald and Stephens that the con~::unication be received and referred to the City Engineer for his report. No. 169 - Niagara Parks Commission - re persons employed by contractor for removal of International Rallylay tracks. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Stephens sad Hanniwell that the communication be received and filed· Speekin~ in this connection, Ald. White stated that he still felt that the Niagara Perks Commission had been remiss in not includ- ing a clause in the contract with the purchasers of the material to be removed, to the effect that local labour would be employed for this work. No. 170 - B.~.Langmuir - re tourists coming into City, and not being made aware of other points of Interest, other than the Queen Victoria Park. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Scott and Stephens that the com- munication be received end filed. In this regard, Ald. Hsnniwell remarked that he had noticed a great lack of signs in the surrounding district, advertising Niagara Falls. The Aldem~sn felt that suitable signs erected at important Junctions of the various highways, would be very beneficial. ORDEPd~D See Resolution No. ~0. No. 171 - B.L:.g.

Hannlwell brought up the matter of the congestion of trsffis around the City Market on Ssturday mornings, and submitted the following plsn, which he thought might help to lessen this congestion. It was suggested that psrking be prohibited on the East side of Erie Avenue, between Huron sad Queen Streets; thst the vendors be removed · from the reeds on Huron snd Erie Avenues, and angle psrking provided on the West side of Erie Avenue; that the vendors thus removed be placed on the new section of the market on the South side of Huron Street. Aid. Neman stated that he agreed with Ald. Henniwell, but felt that now the new section of Erie Avenue had been opneed up, a cer- tain mount of parking space was provided there. The City Msnsger suggested that the matter of the re-planning of the market stalls be left in abeyance until the Spring, because all the stalls in use at the present time are under contract, He suggested that perhaps a By-Law, prohibiting the parking on the East side of Erie Avenue, on Saturday mornings, only, would be epproved by the Department of Highways. Aid. Donald stated that he was not in fevour ofthe elimination of perking on the East side of Erie Avenue, because it wuld mean that the citizens would be forced to walk quite e distance to the market, which would cause Considerable inconvenien~;e. Ald. Donald felt thst the vacant lot on the South side of Huron Street would provide sufficient perking space to remedy this situation, somewhat. Ald. White pointed out that while there was no doubt thst there was congestion on Erie Avenue, there was an equal mount on Huron Street, and felt that the condition of Huron Street was considerably worse than that of Erie Avenue, ORDERED see Resolution ~83. ild.

Carried MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS To the Members of the Council for 1936. Ladies & Gentlemen; We are about to enter upon another year of Municipal respon- sibility and administration. I wish first to express n~v appreciation of the co-operation received fl~m the Council and the staff of all Civic Departments, also the Press for the unbiased reports of Council proceedings durin~ 1935. I wish to oongratulate ell who have been elected to positions of respon- sibility in the Civic Administration end to those less successful, I would offer egsinr~ congratulations for their interest in civic affairs. In reviewing the past yesr, ~ feel that the Council have prac- ticed economy end that there has been some improvement in our Financial position which will be evidenced by the Auditors, report. With regards to the coming, year, I sen only say that no major 'expenditures can be considered unless provided for by some Legislation of the Provincisl or Federal Governments as Relief Measures. The Coun- cil will do well to confine expenditures to absolute necessities as re- gards to repairs end maintenance of streets and sidewalks, repairs to equipment, snd malnteance of,other Indispensable sexwices. In reference to refunding our liabilities, whatever course is adopted, will depend upon Provincial legislation sad r~commendations of the Department of Municipal A~falrs at Toronto. I ca~ only say that I hope the Council of 1936 will meet their responsibilities as they arise, with courage, fairness, without undue haste, and a desire to be con- versant with every phase of any proposition they may have to deal with. In conclusion, may I again thank the citizens generally for their patience, courage and co-operation throughout 1935, and hope for a continuance of your cohfidence and support in 1936. Wishing everyone a better and happier New Year, I am Ct{AS. W. A~DERSON, Mayor. F~rther.

MoAninch stated that he felt the t~x-psyers of the City should not be provided with the service of collectors to collect their texas, but rather sug~ested that arrangements might be made with a Bank st the South end CI.ntre of the City for the collection of same. The Aldermen felt that the people would pay their taxes just as quickly, without collectors, and the supplying of this service was bei~ paid by citizens who were receiving no benefit from i.t. The Aldermen augfie sted that if u tax-payer desired the collector to collect his taxes, ha should be changed for the service. The City Manager stated that if such an arrangement was put into force, he would be quite willing to see it was carried out, but did not feel.that the tax-payers would agree to pay Bailiff's fees in add- ition to the interest they are already paying. His Worship Mayor ~mderson replied to the Alderman, end p..;inted out that he had been able to observe the operation of the Department duri~ the pest year, end felt that the services provided by the Col- lectors would not be dispensed with. The Mayor stated that the position of the tax errears of · greet many tax-peyers had been improved Consid- erably through this system. He else mentioned the fact that numbers of tex-payers had signed agreements over five, six end even ten years to · pay taxes which showed their willingness to co-opeeste with the City. Aid. Stephens spoke on the matter, end said that he recognized the feet that conditions to-day differed from those of a few years ego, He stated that the coiledrich of taxes had become a surious problemwith the Council, and felt that it was an indispensable service to have the collectors st work in the City.

Ard explained the situation to the Council, in regard to tile build- ing being acquired in 1918-9, end also in regard to the elmpier of his organization. ~. Ard felt that when the Club-house was taken over, it had been specifically stated that it was for the use of all returned soldiers, and as the members of his organization were such, he felt that they should be entitled to permission to use same. Ald. ~ite spoke on the matter, and stated that he felt it would be not conducive at the harmony of the users of this building to have more than one organization using same. Ald. l~ite felt that it would be much better if all the different societies endearcured to come together into one large organization, which would, undobtedly, have more power and less discord. Ald. Stephens states that he was e member of the Cit~, Coun- cil st the time when the matter of the erection of this building was taken over, end recalls that there were, at that time, e n~mber of small organizations in the City, who were persuaded to ~malgemate into what is now known es the Canadian Legion, who were given permission to Use the building. Aid. Henniwell requested that the matter he left in abeyance until e complete report could be secured'from the City MansEer, upon the whole situation, in order that the members of the Council might be completely conversant this request might be to take any action if with the matter. The Alderman stated that he felt caused by some domestic qusrrel end did not want such was the case. Ald. ~vidale recalled to the attestion of the Council the fact that a drive had been conducted in this City, to secure f~nds for the purpose of taking over this building, previous to the decision of the Council the t they contribute funds to the support of same. The ~ld- ennsn stated that the G.W.V.A. was formed, and s committee, of which she was Chairman, assisted considerably in tile securing of funds for this work. The Alderman said that when the Csaadien Legion was forme~], e number of the smaller organizations were induced to form with them, sad so promote the harmony of the society, end felt that every effort should be made st this time to prevent that harmony being broken.

All members cf the Committee were present. Sundry accounts were approved by the Committee, amounting to $16,245.31. The accounts 8ubraltted, being passed or otherwise dealt with, the Cemittee ordered, on the motion of A~d. Stephens and White,that' these be placed in the money by-law for presentation to the Council. AId. ttanniwell expressed the opinion that the City should set up a Sinking Fund to take care of future capital items, which they have not at the present time. 'The ~derman stated that he had made this suggestion to Supervisor R.J.Moore, on a previous occasion, and the same was received rather faVoursbly by him. The Alderman pointed out that such requirements as the £ollowing would be necessary in the coming years, and If the poltcy of the City continues ea at present, no funds would be evaliable for same. The items mentioned were: new Fire equilment, the employment of a Professional fire department, the need of a new power line of Deisel engine at the Filtration Plant, the sale of cemetery lots, the use of capital payments for current expend- itures, the need of trunk sewers, the new equipment for the City, etc. The Alderman stated that in disregarding these items, the City was presenting s false statement to the Govemnent, which would undoubtedly have to be ratified. Considerable discussion was entered into, and the various members of the Committee expressed their opinions upon the subject. A motion was then made by Ald. MoAninch end Hsnniwell that the Cc~anittee, at the earliest possible date, have Mr. H.T.Jsmieson and some of his auditors, meet with the Council, in view to redeiving some advice from Mr. Jamjason ss to how we can set up e Sinking Fund which will provide that we carry our present obligations and also provide for future development. Further discussion was entered into, and the motion was then presented. The motlob was voted on, and Lost. Aid. MoAninch bro"ght to the attention of the Council the fact that the City of Niagara F~lls wee b~dly in need of an improved Y.M.C.A. and asked if the City Manager could not get in touch ~ith the service clubs of the City, with s view to starting a drive to raise funds for such an organization. His Worship Mayor Anderson spoke upon the matter, and sug~est- ed that such sotion might he undertaken more suitably by the Chamber of Commerce, inasmuch as if action was taken by the City Council, some cit- izens might feel thet this would develop into a burden upon their taxes. Aid. Donald spoke and expressed the opinion that the service clubs were heavily burdened at the present time, and suggested that the matter be presented to business men throughout the City. AId. MoAninch said that he would be glad to bring the matter to the attention of the Charabet of Commerce, for their consideration. Ald. MoAninch brought up the matter of the rumcured expansion of Canada's aerial equipment, and suggested that the City ~neger be in- structed to get in touch with the Department of Defence of the Federal Govermnent, asking if such was the case, and if so, to consider the Possibility of using the flying field which we have close to the City. Aid. White said that while discussing the matter of Refund- ing, perhaps the necessity of receiving the budget ss soon as possible, was passed over rather hurriedly, and made the following motion: Ordered on the motion of AId. White and DenPld that the City Manager be mnpowered to get in touch with Supervisor R.J.Moore, by tele- grsph, asking that the Budget be returned to the City, with his com- ments, at the ~erliest possible moment, in orCer that the Council might know its st'nding in regard to the payment of Interest on Debentures, due in March.

MoAninch asked that the City Manager ascertain from the various municipalities throughout Ontario, what schemes they had adopted for the provision of pensions for agelag employees. The Alderman stated that he was of the opinion that if a pension fund had been created some years age, it would 'not be necessary to pass a By-Law makingall- owance for the retiring chief of police in the current Budget, and thus the tax-payers would be saved that runebrat of moaey. Aid. White spoke in this connection, and stated that he did not disagree with the Aldermen's suggestion, but would point out that inasmuch as a pension had been provided for Chief Dart's predecessor, it would seem that Chief Dart would be entitled to consideration also. AId. l~Aninch brought up the matter of the scarcity of parks at the North end of the City, and suggested that the Niagara Parks Cormsissies held a tract of land, about 35 acreas in area, sur- rounding the Whirlpool, end suggested that this would make an ideal park for the residents of that section of the City. AId. A~A~lnch felt that the Parks Conmission might be enduced to do something to- ward the cultivation of this tract of land, if the matter was brought to their attention when the Cornrail have a meeting with them. The Alderman also suggested that the Council visit the location when mak- ing the Am%ual Tour of Inspection. Ald. MoAninch stated that it had been mentioned to him that 25 (; some of the regular en~loyees of the City had been ~orking overtime during the recent snow storms, when a number of the unex~loyed could have been doing the work, and suggested that in future, the unemployed be given preference. The City Engineer spoke to the Council in this connection, and advised that the regular drivers had been retained on the trucks as much as possible, because it was thought that inexperienced drivers would cause d~aage to the trucks in the severe weather. Ald. McAninch also brought up the matter of salary adjust- ments in the Budget, as to whether the same had been allowed. His Worship ~yor Anderson rapled and advised the Alderman that he had received a copy of the Budget as originally forwarded to the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs, and also received a copy of the suggested adjustements, and further that he had been present a~ the conference with II~. L~ore, althoug~ this conference was not originally held to talk over the Budget, but the Comaoil took the opportunity of visit- ing the Supervisor when having a conference with the Hen. T.B.Mc:~uest- en, Minister of HighwayS, in connection with the costs of St. Davids Hill, and that he should be in full possess:ion of the facts ss to the Budget as approved.

DEPUTATIONS In connection with Co~aunication No. 80, ],~. C.Gannett, as representative of the Unemployed Association,' was permitted to address the Council, upon the motion of Ald. Stephens and L:cAm. inch, ~m. Ganett advised the Council that the past winter had been the most severe in the course of the depression for the unemployed, and many had suffered hardships through lack of clothing, food and fuel, as a result. The speaker stated that ~7hile he appreciated the Couneil's position, and that of the tsx-payers of the City, he felt that the Council should again urge the Govermaents to assist the mun- icipality to carry the burden of relief. In ths meantime, he request- ed that the Council withhold their order, that all single unemployed be cut off relief, until some further decision is made. Ald. Hauniwell pointed out that while it had been suggested, previously, that the municipality turn back the btu'den of relief to the Goven~nent, the Govermnent had refused to accept s~ne. The Alder- man was of the opinion that the only thing that could be done was to again present to the government the matter, for their consideration. Ald. Stephens spoke to the questjan, and stated that he ap- preciated the way in which the speaker had brought the matter to the Council, and felt that the matter should be presented to the Super- visor. Ald. I~Aninch stated that he was supporting the ~tion, as presented, but felt that more setion would be taken if the matter was brought to the attention of the local member of the Legislature. The Aldernmn stated that he felt as the Couacil are the elected represent- atives of the City, the citizens look to them to administer in the best interests of the City, an'd as there does not appear to be any means of taking care of this added burden of relief, that the money should be taken out of the appropriation for the payment of Interest on Debentures. His Worship Mayor Anderson spoke and pointed out that the cost of Relief for the month of Yanuary was approximately $58,000. and in February $56,000. sad the Government's contribution for each month was $~5,000. and consequently the balance had to be taken over by the municipality. He was of the opinion that the Supervisor should be interviewed in connection with the matter.

White and Stephens that the co~muunication be received and that the City Manager again communicate with Llr. Moore, urging that he visit the Council at the earliest possible opportunity, to discuss the matters with the Council. Speaking on the question, Ald. I~cAninch stated that he did ~not feel that expenses ih the Budget had been cut as far as possible. He still believes that the ed~ninistration of relief could be cut, and that it was out of all proportion to the size of the City. The Alder- man stated that he felt the Council were recklessly wasting the tax- payerS' money on relief, by providing Jobs for friends. His Worship M~yor Anderson answered the Alderman and stated that if the administration costs of the relief, when the s~me had been administered by the Govermnent, and when administered by the City, were compared, it ~ould be found that the City's administration vmuld be about 60% of the former. Ald. White stated that he felt that ~r. Moore should be pres- ent st a meeting to advise the Council as to whether he felt the Coun- cil was administering relief to the best advantage, and satisfactorily.

Hanniwell felt that the Council shouhl nmke then'.selves more clear upon the matter, and pointed out that tile City was already paying spproxir~tely $12,000. pro month over the Covermeant allowance, and conseqnently would be unable to take any further action, without increasing the tax rate. Such action would be ill-advi!led, tile Alder- man ?elt~ as the tsx-payer was already heavily bin, dosed, and the only way in which the City could pay additional relief would be to lessen the Bond Intl~rest, fox. which permission would have to be obtained from the Government. see Co~tu~ication No, 95 In c, mnection with Co:m=tmication He. 105, Lk's.

MeAn- inch and otephens that the cor~nunication be received and referred to the Oity Solicitor, together with all the details upon the matter, for his report. In this connection, AId. MeAninch addressed the Council. and stated that at the beginning of the year he made e motion to have a Joint meeting with the Perks Conesissies to discuss the improvement of River Road. Reoentl~ the Alderman received a telephone call from the City Manager and was informed that he and the Mayor had looked over the pro- posed work, and did not wish to wait for a Council meeting before giving the necessary authority for the procedure of same. The Alderman under- stood that it was to be the improvement and widening of River Road, and he gave his consent. At the last meeting of the Council a resolution woe passed confirming this and the Alderman stated that he believed the City Council should be furnished with plans of the proposed work, and all information, before being asked to give a decision on matters of this kind. The Alderman quoted a letter from the City Solicitor, stating the jtn'isdiction of the To~'m Planning Commission, and stated that he felt the Commission should have been consulted in the matter. The Ald- erman expressed the opinion that the Mayor and City Manager should have consulted the City Solicitor and Engineer and the Town Planning Con~uis- sion upon the matter, and adivsed of any action ~ich might make the City liable. He stated that by their hasty action, and in consideration of the letter received, the City was repudiating some of the obligations of the Municipality. His Worship Mayor Anderson replied to the Alderman and advised that he and the City Ii~nager had been called in connection with the ex- tension of the work being done on the River Road. Both went up the site and agreed that the improvements would be advisable, as all work was being done at no cost to the City. His Worship stated that the City is not relinquishing any rights of the Municipality. In connection with the complaint of Mr. G~rzo, His Worship was of the opinion that this was a matter of rivalry bet~en Mr. Gsrzo and Mr. Melbourne, as the side- walk would be in ~r. l~lbourne's arcade, and not in Mr. Garzo's. His Worship stated that the sidewalk was being constructed on the river side of the road, and this would be a convenience to both parties, and he did not feel that the line of sidewalk along the River Road should be inter- fered with because one person did not wish same. ~s Worship felt the City of Niagara Falls should not be~ndered in its progress and improve~ ment by such protest, as no agreement was ever made with ~,~. G~rzo. The City M~nager advised the Council that he was of the opinion that the Council had no actual control over the sidewalk on River Road, inasmuch as it comes within the Chain Reserve, which is controlled by the Parks Commission.

All members of the Council, with the exception of Ald. T~idale, were present. The Council, having rec- eived and read the minutes of the previous meeting, these were adopted, together with those of the conference, on the motion of AId. Scott and Hanniwell, DEPUTATIONS In connection with Comunications No. 118 and 119, represent- atives of the Frontier Humane Society and the Children's Aid Society, wore permitted to address the Council, on the motion of AId. Donald and Scott. Mr. F.E.Mershall, President of the Frontier H,n~ne Society, addressed the Council, and stated that recently a group of citizens had formed the Society, apart from the Children's Aid Society. Knowing that the City Council made a yearly grant to the Society for thier work, it is felt by the new Society that some portion of that grant yes for Humane Work when conducted by the old Society, and the Humane Soc- iety requested that their necessary expenses be paid for them out of the same. The Children's Aid Society agreed to this, and also to the permitting of their inspector to do humane work. The Speaker stated that the Society has now refused to pay the bills which have been in- curred, and they now ask that they be made a grant to allow them to employ a full time inspector under their control. Mr. John Logan of the Children's Aid Society, spoke and st- ated that their Society woe not interested in htunane work.' He 'stated that they did not arrange to pay the accounts of the other Society, bu~ to carry on as they had formerly, allowing their inspector to do humane work, and the Children's Aid Society would pay his salary. Mr. Logan stated that the Society held a tag day and raised money by such, and intended to use same for establishing a reserve fund. He stated that the Inspector had been instructed to do no work for other than the City of Niagara Falls. Mr. T.Smith, of the 0hildren's Md Society, spoke and stated that the City of Niagara Falls had been making grants of money to the Society for some twenty years, and the Ontario Statutes requires that money, sufficient to permit the Society to function, be allowated by the Council. He stated that, some years ago, because the Inspector had been doing hmuane work in the Township of Stamford, an appeal for a grant was made to the Council of that municipality, and when offered a smal~l sum, this was refused. M~. R.Rewbury of the Frontier Humane Society, spoke and stated that they had never asked the Inspector to go out of the City. The bill had been presented for the Inspector's services in the City, to the Children's Aid Society, and it was returned to them, unpaid. AId. McAninch spoke and stated that he was of the opinion that if any money was available f~om the City, the same should be speht on humanity in preference to animals, and in his opinion, the grant should be made to the Ohlldren's Aid society. The Alderman also stated that he was pleased~ to see the two Societies had s~parated. AId. Stephens spoke and stated that he, like the previous speaker, thought a great deal of humanity, and paid tribute to the Ohil- dren's Aid Society, who had done much good work in this cornunity. How- ever, he also appreciated the efforts of tee Society which was endeav- curing to take care of the animals of the City. It was then ordered, on the leotics of Ald. Stcphens and Scctt, that Mr. R,S.C.Stalker, of the Frontier Himrune Society, be permitted to address the Cotmcil. Mr. Stalker stated that he was a member of the newly-formed Society and he understood that the original intention of the Chifdren's Aid Seelet], was to do hum~ne work, and since the separation of the tv~ SOcieties, the Children's Aid Society had agreed to pey the expenses of the newer Society. He stated that they did not ask for a portion of the grant made by the Council, but that the Society agree to ta~e care of the expenses incurred. In this way, they would be able to ploy a full-time inspector, who would be able to do not only humane work after complaints had been made, but also preventive work. On the motion of Aid. MoAninch and DOnald, l~rs. Y.R.Coatts of the Frontier Humane Society, read to the Council a letter from one of the Depsr~lents of the lh'ovincial CoverFro:eat, corersending the new Society on their formation. See Resolution lqo. 43. In connection vdth Petition No. 8, L~. B.Cook was permitted to address the Council, on the motion of Ald. White and Hanniwell. Mr. Cook protested against the removal of the perking rest- rictions on the South side of Ferry Street, and stated that in the op- inion of the residents in the block in question, these restrictions were necessary. He stated that the plece of business which was oper- ated oposite his home was conducted until hte at night, and as there was sufficient parking at the rear of the building, felt that it should not be necessary to remove the restrictions.

Carried Speaking in this connectlob, Aid. Stephens st~ted that it Was with regret that he had to make these remarks, but the reason was ~hat information had come to him from .Government officials who were wondering whether the expression of opinion by the Alderrosa represent- ed the. feelings of the ~ouncil as a whole. They wanted to know whether the Cotmcil desired the continuance of the Govermment Employment Bur- eau, or not, and whether it was of any assistance to them. His answer was unquestionably yes. The Alderman stated that he had put hDaself in possession of figures showing the activities of the Bureau and was g~atly surpurised to find that for the year ending ~,~rch 31st, 1936, they had placed in the City of Niagara Falls 659 man aud 1152 women, making a total of 1811. The Alderman declared that he regretted Aid. ~cAninch had stated that the Service was s Joke and felt he must deny that statement, that the Service was no Joke, but vms a valuable ser- vice indeed. Aid. ~cAninch stated that he felt congratulated that 'his statement had created so much attention, and hoped that the reporters and secretary would place him on record as much as the other Alderman. The Alderman quoted a proverb: "If you want to know what kind of a nest that is, disturb it, and if it is a setting hen, it will make plenty of noise", and stated that there had been a lot of noise about tile statement made. The figures were given that 1152 girls had been put to work and 659 men, and if our Unemployment Department was doing as good work as that, there would be no unemployment in the City in a short time. He felt that if the taction was carried, it would only be fair to him that the Bureau should give particulars of the figure~ pub- lished in an editorial, ~sho~lng the nsraes, places where the men were employed, the wages they received stud how long employed. The Alderman stated that it was not that he was after ~. ~anan that he made this statement, and that all knew that when the St. David's Hill Job was cor~enced, a person had to register with the patronage committee of the fon~er govsrr~aent, and as soon as the government changed, he had to register With the patronage committee of the other party. If the tsx-payers of this country pay for the ,Employment Services, they should be run up and above boerd, and independent of politics. The Alder~ said that it was not a secret that when the election was over you had to go to certain men of the other party to get a ~ob, and he hoped that t~m objection taken to his statement would cause all employees who reg- ister for the Parks Job to be hired in the order in which the applic- ations are received. The Alderman said that objection had been taken to his statmment, and if it could be shown that the employees of the St. David's Hill Job and on the present Parks Job, were hired without partiality, he would be glad to retract his statement, but until then he did not intend to apologize, and again stated that the Employment Bureau was s Joke.

Scott stated that some men had asked him for a job on the St. David's Hill, and he had referred them to the Employment Bureau and they got them through the Bureau, and not through any political party. Ald. Stephens stated that he too wished to mention the St. ~avid's Hill Job. He stated that the City received a bill from the Government for some $16,000. for this construction. Naturally, the 0ounctl objected to it, and rightly so. The ~ity Maneider was author- ized to secure an appointment with the ~inister of Highways, and did so through ~r. Houek, and it ~ms agreed, unanimously that the Cotu~cil · shoUld go over end endearour to get some release from payment. Every member of the Cotu~cil, with the exception of Ald. Ha !niwell, went to Toronto, and while there they decided to visit the Supervisor, with reference to the Budget. Everyone took part in the discussion and to his surprise, in a few weeks' time, Ald. NcAninoh stated in Council that the Council had spent $100. to see the Supervisor when s 3~ ste~p would have accomplished the whole business. Ald. Stephens felt that The Alderman wither had some ulterior object in view or was labcuring under the delusion of some -fantastic hallucination. Ald. MeAninch stated that he did not retract his statement. He said that the Alderman had declared that all members of the Corm- oil had taken part in the discussion, and only His WorsMp, Aid. White, Step!lens and himself spoke. Ha advised that if the secretary did not report his statements fidly, he would object to the minutes when presented, and supply his private secretary to record his state- ments. He stated that he l~id off work to go to Toronto and ih the waiting roots of the Station the City I!anager sapplied the Com~cil with copies of the tam.mary of the Budget. '~Jhen they arrived in Toronto the ~tLayor asked the Supervisor questions about the cutting down of the light bill, but no other objections were made to th~ Budget, and they later passed it without changing it one iota. Lh'. M~Questen was sbu'- priced at the Council being present, when they visited his office, ~nd told them that the bills were sent out by the D~partment a~d would con- tinue. He explained that Niagara Falls was one of the ram~icipalities who have to share in the costs for suburban roads, enid if he told Nia- g~u*a Falls they did not have to pay it, other municipalities would come back and ask for the sarae treatment. The fdderman wa~ted it rec- orded that he believes that this all could have been done by $ 3¢ stamp, aud that the Council thought they could have something done to g~t out of payin~ the bill, ~md they would have it to pay sometime. Ald. Stephens expressed his sbu. prise that the Alderman did not know they were going over to see P.~.. McQuesten principally, and as a special privilege, asked each Alderman whether he m~derstood so. Aid. White stated that he did understand the Council was going prin- cipally to see 1.it. L~.cQuesten, and made the motion that they go. Ald. H. snniwel~, Scott and Done~ld all agreed that they understood this ~lso. Aid. Stephens stated that the Council went to Toronto, and L~'. tloore also visited tile Minister, and supported the City very ably. As far as he was concerned, Ald. Stephens felt that all were very well sat- isfiad with the visit. Aid. L~cAninch asked Aid. Stephens whether the Council got the tax-payers relief from paying the bill, and Ald. Stephens stated that they did. Aid. McAninch asked did the Council do anything which the I,~anager could not have done by letter, and Ald. Stephens replied 'Yes '. Ald. t~aniwel~ stated that while ha was not with the deleg- ation, he was of the opinion that the matter had been left in abey- ance, and felt that it was a piece of good business that the Council made th~ visit.
