Carried. ~YOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. To the members of the Aldenmnic Board for 1933:- Gentla. aen:- My first duty is to wish to you and all the citizens of this City a year of peace and contentment even if prosperity "as we have known it", does not arrive during its passing. I desire to congratulate the new member of the Board, Alderman Scott, upon his Election and am sure that he will be an acquisition to the Council, endeavouring to help in every way the advancement of the interest of the citizems at large. AlOe, 'to Alderm~n Wilkinson, who's record is well known, who was again elected afte~ an absence of one year. I extend ~ congTatulations and am sure his election was a compliment to him such as is seldom received by one in public life. I regret the retirement of Aldermen Fordham and Irglis, knowing that during the years they were members of this Board. every effort made by them was an honest, unselfish desire to advance the interest of the Community and the Citizens whom they represented. In my inaugural address for 1932, I spoke of the condition that then existed, and had great hopes at that time, as perhaps you all had, that during the year. times would change, that happiness and contentment, coming from employment for all, would be the lot of all our citizens, but, in that we have been disappointed. 1933 finds us in perhaps a worse condition than 1932; this makes the task of govern- lng and controlling the municipelity an arduous thing, but, I am sure, that under your guidance, no one need suffer for the necessities of life, that all your actions regarding the unfortunate unemployed and their dependents will be tempered with mercy and given dtus considerat- ion. In this connection I desire to saysgain that the burden cannot be much longer carried by the Municipalities and will eventually have ts be taken over by the Govermnent. After investigation and examination of the System now in vogue of "Direct Relief", I believe that a dole system controlled by the Dominion Government, with registration at frequent times in every section, .would be much better than the present system. If this were adopted, a portion could be borne by each Municipality, the cost of distribution would be m terially reduced, the circulation of money would be increased, and control of the registered unemployed be stren- gthened, still leaving the charitable organizations to function in cases they considered worthy. During the last month, much has been heard of economy md reduction in the cost of government of the City. This lies in the hands cf you gentlemen, your decision must be made soon, as to how far ~ou desire to go in reducing services to the public, salaries of your officials, etc. but, I would ask you to consider. earorally all these for fear of econcn~ being carried too far, becoming "false economy- or disappointing in its results. With the difficulties encountered in the collection of taxes during the l~st year, I think you will find, upon perusal of your financial state:nent, that we are in an enviable position, perhaps, comlmring favorably with any other City of our size in Ontario. This speaks well for the management and a~ministrat. ion during the twelve months of 1932, but, with the howledge that taxes are now a burden to all, great care should be taken not to create any capital expenditures or public improvements, which would in any way increase this burden. This is the second year since our agreement with the Provin- cial Hydro Commission re payment of $75,000. per year in lieu of taxes, expired, As you know, last year, the Conn,uission paid to the City $50,000. without any surety of it being continued, therefore, negotiat- ions will have to be started again to secure some arrangement for this year. This is important as not receiving this, would necessitate an increase of approximately four mills on our tax rate. I desire to thamk all appointed bodies such as the Board of tIealth, Mothers, Allowance Board, Town Planning Co~mnission, Childtens, Aid Society, Public Library Board. and the Red Cross Association. Also, officers and men of the Fire Department for their contribution to the welfare of the City' during the past year, whose work has helped to a great extent in carrying on in themanner :';e have. Also, to the members of the Board of Education, Separate School Board and Hospital Trust for their co-operation in every way possible with this Board regarding matters which effect the ccm~uon weal. I must express m~ appreciation also to the Welfare Board, which has done such wonderful work in the past years. The members of this organization have taken a great burden from the Board of Aldermen and too great credit cannot be given them for their ad~uinistration of the relief affairs. In conclusion, I trust that during the year, our conferences and meetings will be carried on with quiet and decorum, and that all we do will be for the benefit of the greatest number, in this way retaining the respect and condidencS of all citizens.

Veysey was allowed to address the Council on behalf of the Unemployed. L~. Veysey first introduced l.~. Speakman who explained the alleged irregular use of explosives at the sand pit at the present time. 1.~. Spealcaan stated that on Saturday the Unemployed Committee had been in- formed that 12 holes of dynamite were fired ax~ out of the 12 son~ 4 did not go off, which is termed a mis-fire. The foreman in charge of the work, I,~. Alex. Collins, when the ~atter was brought to his attent- ion, said all the shots went off and that perhaps the den did not hear them. It was further alleged by Ii~. Speahnan that the men were ordered to dig up the shots which did not go off with pick and shovel, which is very dax~erous and against the Mining and Explosive Act. Instead of tile practice of digging them out another hole should be made right close and fired. which would then fire the shot which had previously failed to explode. Ald..Allen thought that with a certain type of ex]plosive the caps could be pulled off, but ~,~. Speakman explained that this was impossible. Ald. White stated that he knew quite a bit about explosives and believed that one man should be in charge of the battery and that the cable shogld be attached. to him. He should mke all connections and set off the blast, and be responsible as to whether it went off or not. It was understood that Ald. ~ite and the City ~,~nager wogld look into this matter ~maediat- ely end that the men be not allowed to work in this section until an in- vestigation is made. Secondly, 1,W. Veysey introduced htr. Gordon who desired to address the Council in connection with deducting water rates from the grocery orders of the unempleyed. Ald. White end Donald moved that l&r. Gordon be heard, and he asked that some suspension of the pay~nt of water rates for the unemployed be agreed upon as it is impossible for a man to pay out of his small order. ~.

Collins was in the habit of discharging the men at the sand pit with the result that when the men went to receive their tickets it was throe or four days before the matter could be adjusted as it was necessary for the Conmittee to go to the sandpit, and then the men had to almost get down on their knees and aRologize to Collins before they were taken back on. Secondly, ~.k'. Veysey introduced I;h'. W.H.~trd who spoke in connect- ion with the request of the Unemployed for representation on the Public Welfare Board. L~, Ard stated that inasmuch as it was necessary for the Council to now approve of the pcrsonnel of the V;elfare Board, he would like them to give this serious consideration. In his opinion a representative of the unemployed would be of benefit to the Co~maittee in his understanding of the needs of the hungry men. Sts2nford Township :.if.

The Provincial Goverrmmnt does not state that a member of the Une~uployed must be on the Coxmaittee, but it also does not state that this should not be. Lit.

N~YOR'S R~AUGURAL ADDRESS. To the members of the Aldermanic Board of 1934. Gentlemen:- At this, the Inaugural meeting of the Council of the year 1954, I first desire to welcome to our Board Alderman Stephens, the newly elected member of this year's Coux~cll. I smlsure his varied mun- icipal experience will be of great help to us during the coming twelve months. I also wish to fSrnmlly express r~ regret upon the retirement of Ex-Alderman Ward and am sure that during the coming year we will miss to a great extent his advice concerning, and interest in City affairs. You are all aware of the difficult ~imes we have experienced in carrying on during the last months of the year Just past. Knowing this, the wisest consideration of allquestions Will be needed in the months to come. Upon a study of the figures of the cost of relief administrat- ion in the year past, you will realize the burden placed upon the Oity. I/J opinion has been, and is now, that this burden should be borne by the Government of the Dominion, and I would advise that every effort be made by this Council to secure the assistm~ce of other municipalities in bringing this request to the attention of the Government at Ottawa. Further, owing to the City Council furnishing the major- ity of funds for relief as now handled, I would advise a closer cooperation between the Relief Board and the Council, which I am sure would be of benefit to both the Board and ourselves. Under conditions now existing, no developments of any nat- ure should be considered that would increase to any exteut the deb- enture debt of the City, or increase the taxation against our proper- ty owners and tax payera. In fact, our chief desire should be to decrease, if at all possible, the mill rate, in this way relieving the burdeh of taxation. As you are all aware, it is expected that Govermment legis- lation will be enacted by the Provincial Government i~diately after its convening which will empower municipalities throughout the }'rov- ince to refinance the debenture debt already existing. When this leg- islation is passed, we should immediately take steps to replace wher- ever possible, debentures coming due, with new debentures extending over a period of ten or fifteen years, thus relieving the payment of the principal. In this way, the mill rate could be reduced during these next few years. I regret that during the past two months negotiations with the Township of Stamford for the supply of water from our Filtration Plant at Ohippawa have fallen through. I am quite confident that the .offers made by this City to the Township were equitable and reasonable. In fact, comparing the rates offered to them with the rate which we are led to believe they are paying the Canadian Niagara Power Company, will show that our proposition would have cost them less than that which they intend to pay to the ~ompany. As our Filtration Plant was built with the idea of being able to supply a population of 50,000, it seems absurd that a private company should be allowed to go into the business of supplying water to any municipality adjacent to our City, and in m y opinion, it is beyond the rights of the Power Company to go into the business of supplying water to any municipal- ity. I desire to thank all the elected and appointed bodies, ehcritable organizations and clubs throughout the City for their co- operation in the year past, for through this cooperation we have been able to do many thil~gs which would otherwise have been left un- done, I am confident that 1934 is going to bring to the people of this con~munity and to this country, relief from the troublesome and arduous times we have experienced- I would ask every citizen to enter in this New Tear with confidence and faith, helping to bring'back prosperity for many by employing, whenever possible, local artizans and workers in doing things long left undone. This alone will help to create $ feeling of confidence in our own oo~mmunity, give many now idle employment, and thus increasing the buying power of numerous men and ~omen which is the only thing that will bring about a better condition in the coming year. Again wishing you and all citizens a happy and prosperous year in 1934, C.F.SWAYZE, ~yor. pRESENTATION. Mr. W.H.Gower asked permission to address the Council which was granted on the motion of Ald. Newman and Allen. Mr, Gower present- ed an oil painting of His Worship Mayor C.F.Sw~~ze as a ~ribute to him upon entering his sixth term as Mayor of the City of Niagara Falls. Mr. Cower also remarked that 193~ is expected to be an umuaual year and that before his term of office is completed Mr. SwaFze will, in all probability, see the end of the depression. 19~, Hr.
