on Ontario Avenue, opposite Seneca Street. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Hc-

Committee for a. report.
Ald. Ho~lers referred to the petition received from Hr. J. Prest and-
16 others last year, requesting the paving of Slater from Stamford to ~ícRae St.
which was referred to the City l>!anager for a detailed report; the subsequent
report being given consideration at the Council Meeting of June 6th; at which
time it was decided to reduce the paving programme for the current year and
therefore the possible pavil'.g of Slater was abandoned for the time being.
The Alderman advised that Mr. Prest telephoned him prior to this
evening's meeting and wished to kno'" what Council's intentions are at this time.
The City Manager then advised Council that it is not anticipated that
the paving of Slater Avenue will be included in this year's progranune; that the
matter should be left in. abeyance until the presentation of this year's works
progr=e. The City lo!anager, however. was of the definite opinion that the,
conditions on this street have improved materially, due to the fact that the
catch basins have been hooked up to the sewer; pointing out that in all low
areas there is a certain amount of flooding. The City Manager also advised that
the construction of a sewer on Slater is not definitely out for this year but
the prepàration of the report is now unde~y and will be presented to CQuncil
within three weeks. '
Ald. ~rowers stated that he would so advise Mr. Prest.

requested a report as to the progress made. The City Clerk pvised concerning

THIRTY-SIXTH MEETING
Council Chamber.
30th. July. 1956.
REXRJLAR MEETI tG
Pursuant to adjourrunent. Council met at 7.40 p.m. on Mondç-. July 30th,
1956 for the purpose of considering general business and finance. All Members of
Council were present. with the exception of Ald. Donald and Ald. Morton. The Council,
having received and read the, minutes of the previous meeting. adopted these on the
'motion of Ald. White and Ald. McKinley.
DEPUTATION
Hr. Chaffey. of the Fallsway Hotel on Clifton Hill. and his Solicitor,
Mr. Beccario. were present at the meeting and on the motion of Ald. McKinley and
Ald. Martin were permitted to address the Council. Mr. Beccario eJqJlained that
application had been made by the Fallsway Hotel for a licence under The Liquor
Licence Act. however. until the hotel is completed. no licence will be issued by
the Board. In order to complete the Hotel. additional funds are required but the
Ontario Loan and Debenture Company will not advance funds since at the present time
the Fallsway Hotel are actually operating contrary to City by-laws since an
unlicensed hotel must be licensed under The Tourist Establishment By-law of the City
of Niagara Falls and the Fallsway Hotel is in an area in which Tourist Establishments
are prohibited. Mr. Beccario. said ,they would appreciate any suggestions and would
leave it entirely up to Council.
A full discussion was entered into during which Ald. McKinley expressed
the view that previously the majority of Council declined to open up new areas. and
are now confronted with the problem which may lead to requests fDr additional areas
in the City being opened up. He suggested that as both hotels in the area are very
creditable. Council might be unanimous in declaring it a tourist establishment area.
His Worship the Mayor assured Mr. Beccario that Council would give every
consideration to their problem. and were certainlY not desirous of seeing the
establishments close up when they are practically completed.
Ald. White referred to the application for the building permit which
was approved by Council when assurance had been given that the Hotelwuld be granted
a licence by the Liquor Licence Board; at this point. the City Manager read the report
which ,was submitted to Council on Febru.ary 13th. 195/) in this connection.
Ald. Mowers was of the opinion that the majority of Council would not
force people to have a liquor licence and suggested that a possible rider might be
added to the present by-law to the effect since the Council has power to do so under
The Niagara Falls.Act. to have such a thing designating an unlicensed hotel as we
may have in the tuture. two or three more applications such as this.
Ald. Martin referred to the mis£ortune that no one has assurance of a
licence at the time a building permit is issued. '
Ald. Brooks suggested that the City Solicitor ehould be asked to come
'to this D18eting to-night to uplain the situation.
Following further discussion it was ordered on the motion of A'Ld.
Mowers and Ald. White that the City Manager be authorized to contact the City
Solioitor to draft tw by-law. one as to 1UÜicensed hotels. if possible to draw
such a by-law., and the otherplac1ng the area in ,pe1'Jlli.tte4 uses ot ,Tourist Estab-
lishmentsJ both by-laws to be presented for the oonei~ation of Council at the next
.eting. Carried Unanimously.
It was further ordered on the motion of A1.d/tite and Ald. Martin that
the City Kanag!lr be lllpøwered to contact the Ontario Loan and Debenture Ccmpany
advising thIll, in writing. it necessa17, tl$t Council are prepared to ..114 the
by-).aw to allow the PaUs""" Hotel to operate and that. it necus..,.. a special

At this time, the City Manager advised that in compliance with

the presentation on behalt ot the l'àUewa.r Hotel. Clifton !U.n. who were operating

the paragraph will then read,- "no tourist establishments other than hotels shall
be erected, constructed or altered by structural alter~tion in the City of'Niagara
Falls except within the areas hereinafter designated, as foilows:-"
Prior to the presentation of the by-law selected by Council a full
. discussion ensued during which Ald. Morton stated that he wished to ~o on record as
being opposed to any change in the present by-law granting any privileges to these
establishments. which are, in his opinion, motels, as he felt it was discrimination
against the smaU property owners in the City who have been refused pennission to
build motels or to have additional areas classified u.~der The Tourist Establishment
By-law.
Ald. Brooks concurred with Ald. Morton that the establishments are motels
but wanted to aesist the owners of the Fallsway Hotel in their predicament and felt
that just the areas on Clifton Hill should be included in the amendment to the
by-law.
Ald. Martin stated that in his opinion it was not advisable to allow
unlicensed hotels in any part of the city but felt that at the present time Council
should deal only with the two properties on Clifton Hill and if at a future date,
it was deemed necessaJ7, consideration could be given at that time to further
amendment of the by-law. The Alderman also referred to the Park Hotel having been
mentioned and stressed the fact that the Park Hotel was in no way responsible for
or interested in the proposed changes in the by-law.
Ald. McKinley concurred with Ald. Martin that these two properties only
should be considered but strongly objected to the reference made to these establish-
1118nts being tenned IImotels" as the two buildings on Clifton Hill comply in every
detail with the description of a 'hotel' as outlined in by-law number 5149, which
detinition'was inserted and approved by the Members of this Council. The tenn
"motel" did not conform to that definition.
Ald. White queried the City Solicitor as to the amending by-law which
would be most advantageous to the City and the City Solicitor proceeded to explain
his reasons for preferring the draft bl-law which would add another area to the
existing by-law, namely paragraph 3 (o).
IT WAS 'l'IIEN ORDERED on the motion of Ald. White and Ald. Martin that the
verbal recommendation of the City Solicitor be received and adopted and the by-law
drawn accordingly. Carried. (Ald. Morton-contrary).

FIFTY-SEVENTH MEETIOO
Council Chamber,
11th. December,l956.
SPECIAL MEETING
i
Council met in Special Session in the Council Chamber at 7.30 p.m. on
Tuesday. December 11th, 1956 for the purpose of discussing with the N.S. & T.
Railwa;y officials the operation of the bus service. All Members of Council were
present with His Worship, Mayor Hawkins presiding; and representatives of the
N.S. & T. Railway consisting of Mr. H. J. McIntyre, General Superintendent, Mr.
R. B. Smith. Local Superintendent, Mr. L. Storr, Local Supervisor and Mr. Knowles.
Mayor Hawkins advised of the purpose for which the meeting was being held
and called on Mr. McIntyre. Mr. McIntyre outlined the difficulties involved in
the bus operation pointing out that they had been operating in the red for several
years and that the measures taken, that is, cuts in service had not produced the
desired result and something further would have to be done. He advised that in
the City- of Oshawa the franchise is being abandoned but that in Niagara Falls and
St.Catharines it was their hope to continue. He then advised the Members of Council
as to how the existing deficit was divided between St.Catharines and Niagara Falls
and then asked for any suggestions from the }!embers of Council. No suggestions
being forthcoming Mr. McIntyre then stated that the suggestions made to the City
of St.Catharlnes were as follows!
1.
2.
3.
. 4.
5.
An increase in local fares.
Establishment of a Zone System.
A com~-supplied service. on a management contract basis.
Continuation under a pro-rata formula for the charging back of deficits.
Surrender of Charter.
He advised that the proposed fare increase would be to l5 cents cash or
4 for 50 cents plus the present 5 cents for persons travelling into the Township
of Stamford. Children would be 10 cents cash or 7 for 50 cents.
He recited the monthly deficits incurred to date in 1956 and the effect
that the proposed fare increase would have on these deficits. He stated that they
definitel7 wanted to avoid further service cuts and then quoted further figures on
operation loss per mile. He then requested that the Council study the matter in the
near future and if more information is required, he will be pleased to see that it
is made available but that he would appreciate an answer early in the new year.
MaJOr Hawkins then thanked Mr. McIntyre for his able presentation and
asked for time for Council to consider the matter. suggesting that undoubtedl;Y an
answer would be made early in 1957.
Ald. Morton then referred to the bus service in Welland-Pelham area which
had replaced the Canada Coach and which he understood was proving very satisfactory
and Hr. KcInt71'8 on being queried stated that he had been given to understand that
the service was not all that could be desired. Mr. McIntyre referred to what had
happened in Kingston where the municipality had entered into an agreement with a
bus operator on the basis of 52 cents a mile but that this figure had recentl;y been
upped because of increasing costs of operation.
With reference to the local situation he advised that the N.S. & T. were
fortunate in having the C.N.R. repair shop available which fact had helped consider-
abl7 to reduce the deficits.
On being asked as to where most of the deficit occurred he stated that it
is largel;y within the City ot Niagara Falls and that the Township bus operation is
actuall7 an asset to the City of Niagara Falls.
The C:lty lfanager then queried the differential in the monthl7 deficit
quo~!I!c1 and it was explained that this would come about because of holiday or
va.~iOb t1Iae and that in the month ot September the large increase was due to the
&!ij~..~ !:In tþe Wage Agre..ent which was retroactive to April 1st.
,~. Yol'8hip the Jfa;yor again thanked Mr. IfcInt71'8 and the delegation left.
