Minutes1955(B)
Inaugural Meeting of the Stamford Township Council held in the Council Chambers on Monday, January 3rd, 1955 at 11 a.m. All the members of the Council and the member of the Public Utilities Commission took the Declaration of Office before the Clerk, A. C. Huggins. Reeve Arthur George Bridge gave the inaugural address as follows: Ladies Gentlemen of the Radio Audience, The Members of the 1955 Township Council, and the Officials present: In presenting this my fifth inaugural address as Reeve, it is with a feeling of deep pleasure that I have been permitted to be in this position, considering the four score and more years that I have been allowed to be with you all, no matter from what part of the earth, you and I came from. It is with pleasure that I welcome back to the Council of 1955 all members that sat with me last year, and it is indica- tive of one thing, and that is the electorate must have been sat- isfied with your work in the past year. However, it is with regret that I have noticed a tendency of the past three yeurs, that the people do not exercise their right to vote at the municipal elec- tions. I think perhaps it would be better were there no acclama- tions, though, I least of all, should make no complaint. Competi- tion is the spice of life, and I have a feeling that there would be a better turnout of voters, were all positions contested. I believe they will be next December. I would like to be permitted at this time to enumerate some of the work that has been accomplished during the year 1954, dealing with the five or six departments separately. As you know, taxes are collected upon the assessment rolls that are returned by the Assessment Department, and may I point out to you and those listening in, that last year there were 7,997 assessments made, and on which the mill rate is struck. When one considers that there were only 164 appeals made, with the reduction of only $81,400.00 in a total property assessment of X35,270,492.00 it shows at least in my mind that the assessors did a very good job. That figure does not give the actual assessment on which the taxes will be levied, as the business tax has to be added. The Township can well be proud of the work that has been accomplished by this Department. The next Department is that of the Building and Plumbing, a no branchtof the revenue producing part of the Township. In 1954, nearly $7,752,566.00 of building permits were issued, of which y $6,800,000.00 will become taxable, some of it this year, and some in the year to come. Our plumbing permits have greatly increased, and under this Department, property owners can be assured that their plumbing requirements will be properly installed, and whilst I do not have the figure available at this time, I can assure you all, that these Departments are not a financial liability to the municipality. I now particularly want to deal with the Roads and Streets, which under the very capable supervision of our Township Engineer, and his exceedingly competent staff have done wonderful work during the pant year. The ratepayers must understand that the work that has to be done Is predicted upon the subsidy that the Ontario Department of Highways will allow us to spend. So far, we have the best system of road construction of any municipality in the County of Welland, A start has been made on the widening of Drummond Road, and weather (rf it II 63$4 Grant Donald SviwSthy Urban -Rural 6.

M. 11 li/ JithiA lerk 2 rather interfered with the completion of the south half of this road, but It will be completed early this year, so that there will be a 32 foot road from Lundy's Lane to Murray Street, curb to curb. On the north part, I hope that some action will be taken to out down that hill in front of the Collegiate School, and eliminatine that rise in the walk. As soon as the sewer is completed on Drummond Hoed from the Canal to the old road bed of the Canadian Trolley Ltne, the work can then be completed, and we will have one of the best highways in this district. I might say that it has been mainly through the efforts of Mr. M. F. Ker, that we were able to get a supplement e:ry grant for the work on this road from North Street to Murray Street. All men on the Township ,Staff in the Road Department have worked faithfully during the year, and the contractors that we have employed have done an excellent job. As you know, the Township embarked upon a very large sewer project this year, and whilst same has not been completed within the specified time, that has not been their fault, as unexpected diffi- culties were encduntered, that by no stretch of imagination could have been foreseen by our Engineering staff, and who I muct say have proven their ability to overcome the difficulties that presented themselves, and when the work is completed, we will h::ve a better system, good for the next 30 years, than many other communities of a comparable nature. I would like at this time to point out that the County of Welland are building a highway, the cost of which will not be as much as our sewer project, but they have a firm of consulting engineers at a fairly good percentage, whilst our own sewer project has been designed, and is being constructed by our own Engineering Staff, headed by Mr. M. F. Ker, M.I.E.C, and who has so ably directed all of our local improvements for the past 30 years. The third Department to come under review in this address is that of the Treasury, who have to collect all the sources of revenue that we can possibly collect, This work has been most efficiently carried on by our present Treasurer and his excellent staff, and this year for the benefit of the ratepayers, the office is now open during the noon hour, and which has proved to be greatly appreciated by the public, who could not get away to pay taxes during the other hours the office was open. The last Department' is that of the Clerk, In all municipal offices this is the busiest one of all. Here come all the complaints, here come all the work of preparing the By -laws, answering the correspondence that concerns the general business of the municipality, and the work has grown immensely in the past few years. When one considers that ten years ago, we had a population of about 11,000 and now we are over 23,000 and still increasing, it is quite understand- able that it may be necessary to increase our staff. I do not think that the Council have any fault to find in the management of the offices of the Township. There are four department heads who are responsible for the conducting of the affairs of their own branch, and whilst they must all work together as a team, there should be no interferenoe with one another. I do want at this time, before I deal with the problems that will confront you in the weeks and months to come, to express my sincere appreciation for the manner in which in which our Clerk, Mr, A. C. Huggins, our Treasurer Mr. Hobert Dawe, our Assessor Mr, Ben Prior, and our Engineer Mr, M. F. Ker, and all their respective staffs for their hearty co- operation they have given the Council, and especially myself in the year just behind us. 3 There was established during the year a committee to take up the question of "retarded children" and in conjunction with the City, there has been established a school, in which when completed will be of great benefit to those unfortunate enough to be considered in this class. To the members appointed by myself, Councillors Gordon Bates and E. E. my sincere thanks for the work they have done in this respect. We have in the Township three fire brigades, and whilst I have not always agreed with their aspirations, yet they have kept the fire loss to a really small minimum. There is one phase of our municipal business, and that is the growth of our debenture debt. Whilst local improvements are in the main recoverable, yet the expenditures being imposedupon the Council by the aims of the District Board of Education, and with the coming of a proposed issue of at least $800,000.00 will bring our debenture committments pretty close to Six Million Dollars, and it is going to become imperative that all educatior frills and fancies be discarded. Recently I have heard that ugly headed creature called "annexation" has been slowly recovering from the lethargic state to which it had retired some months ago, and h&:s raised its head again to survey the scene to see if it is advisable to emulate the City of Brantford, and try and take over this municipality. Let it try'. We have the ability to scotch any such attempt. Please take notice; Now for what the Council will have to consider this year. Some serious consideration will have to be given to see what can be done with the question of unemployment. It is quite evident that this is a machine age, and work that was done years ago by hand, is now being done by machinery, and with less cost. A conference may be held this week with the Premier of Ontario, and on the return of the delegation, a meeting will be called to see what can be done for those now out of work, as the municipality cannot assume all the entire responsibility of relief, Consideration must also be given to the extension of sewer service in the new subdivisions that are springing up, as well as some form of storm sewers, so that there will be an elimination of flooding conditions that existed last year, Every effort must also be made to keep the tax rate down, and if the organizations that make demands on the Council to raise so much money without the Council having any control over same, will consider the plight of those who are not in the class of wealty, probably some good may result. Consideration should also be given to the finaliza- tion of the "Master Plan" and a revision of our building code, so that the Council have authority to say "No to any building project, which will come into direct competition with those already established in the same neighbourhood. A serious problem has arisen in regard to the building of service stations, and steps should be taken in regard to this matter. Now dealing with the Public Utility Commission, I as the Council representative would like to report that a very considerable improvement has been made in the lighting system. We have had placed in position 39 new Mercury Vapour Lamps, have also installed 59 new 300 watt lamps in the place of the old 100 watts. We have today 1460 of the latter type in existence, and it is hoped that the Council will give consideration towards replacing that type of lamp in this year It must be understood that this will increase our street lighting a000unt considerably, but we should be lit up just as well, if not better than our neighbours. To Counoillor John N. Allan, the Chairman of the Light Committee, he sure has done his best to have atteet lights put up, ji 4 In the past year, there have been installed 360 Water and 466 Hydro services, and at the present time, we have 6,367 hydro and 5,783 water services in the Township, and with the installation of new transformers, and new motors in our pump houses, there should be no shortage of water, if the users are reasonable, and Hydro interr- uptions reduced to a minimum. It is pleasing to note that the Arena Commission is doing well, but some consideration must be given to finding a parking space for the cars. I would like to deal tor a few moments before closing with County Council affairs, and no doubt you have read a lot about that body and the way money is spent. As Stamford pays nearly 20 per cent of the total expenditures, your representatives have had a rather lively time this past year. Indigent patients costs have risen con- siderably this past year, and whilst we have paid over $$7,000.00 ourselves, yet we have also paid over $10,000.00 of the County share. Every effort will be made by my colleague and myself County road work done. It has not been bad this year,obutvwhenryou consider that we have paid in the past ten years in road taxes to the County of over $450,000.00 and have only had about $$150,000.00 worth our own been so critical of the County pCouncilefinances�nder why I have I also would like to express sincere thanks to Dr, L. W. C. Sturgeon of the Welland and District Health Unit and the Victorian Order Nurses for did lat Through to health by both units. put on the road In conclusion, may I again express my sincere thanks for the manner in which all employees have co- opeuated with the Council, and I sincerely hope that we will all be spared to meet again in 1956, and that 1 955 will be the best year we have all had. Thank you for listening.' Sincerely yours, ARTHUR GEOhGE BRIDGE, REEVE. Reverend H. C. Linstead, Minister of the United Church at Stamford Centre, gave the prayer of Invocation for the 1955 Council. DEPUTY REEVE W. H. SOOTHERANu Deputy Reeve W. R. Sootheran gave the following remarks: Mr. Reeve, fellow members of Council: Today we start another year of administering the affairs of Stamford Township... a task which is growing yearly with the residential and industrial growth of our municipality. The problems that face us are many and of a varied nature. We havelh alternatives. One to sit back and hope that the problems will solve themselves. The other, and I am certain it is the one this Council will follow9 calls for frank, fearless and continuous looking ahead... to do the things that need be done before they develop beyond all proportions to our economy. This calls for a calm but searching appraisal of the needs of the people of our community. It palls for intelligent planning of how to meet those needs. The interests of our taxpayers must be protected and that is essentially our job for 1955... planned growth. of_- our`:oommunity at the lowest possible post, i li i Vii, d ii afl 54. t -5 Mr, Reeve I congratulate you on your inaugural address. It is an ambitious program that can be implemented for the most part by co- operative tuinking. We will have our differences of opinion it is true, but differences of opinion promote discussion and discussion is the only way to bring out all points of any problem. I am looking forward to the coming year with anticipation and trust it will be as successful as 1954. COUNCILLOR E. E, MITCHELSON Councillor E. E. Mitchelson gave the following remarks: I would like first of all to congratulate the Reeve on his comprehensive address. He has covered the situation of the past year thoroughly and has outlined some of the more pressing needs of 1 955. I was plecsed to note that he wishes to have the Master Plan completed in 1 955, and that serious consideration be given to the building code, which has been under consideration for a long time, the details of which have been worked out by the Research Council at Ottawa. Stamford will see that the new oode 113 passed. The Reeve also made reference to the ambitions of the Stamford District Board of Education. The people spoke on the referendum we had by a majority of 2 to 1 for the new school. We did need a new school and we are now going to have it. There is a great need for a parking area the Arena Board is doing a wonderful job operating in the black, and we should st in getting a parking area for the Arena. COUNCILLOR GORDON H. BATES Councillor Gordon H. Bates gave the following remarks: I would like to congratulate the Reeve on his excellent Inaugural Address outlining the work the 195 Council accomplished. I am in agreement with all of the plans he has outlined and will see that the program is carried out. I also would like to congratulate the permanent officials of this Township because the great amount of work done by this Council last year would not have been possible without the co operation of the officials. I wish everyone the best for 1 955. COUNCILLOR JOHN N. ALLAN Councillor John N. Allan gave the following remarks: I am accord wit usuggesti ns Ala6sat this time I wish to thank the officials and employees for their co operation last year and hope that we will have that same co operation again this year, and hope that we will have another banner year in Stamford Township this year.

Carried. At 7:30 p.m. members of Council met with the representatives of the Niagara Falls Separate School Board and the Union Separate School Board for Sections 4, 5 6 in the Township of Stamford for the purpose of discussing a letter dated October 30th, 1954 from Peters, Brown and Company, Municipal Auditors for Stamford Township. The auditor pointed out that the Separate School Act indicated that Separate School Boards were required to requisition the Council for a definite amount of money and not ask that their rate be the same as the Public School rate. He also pointed out that the Township was not applying Section 3 of The Public Schools Act and Section 56 (6) of the Separate Schools Act to obligate separate school supporters to pay their share of the unexpired portion of public school debentures at the time they change support. STAtFORD SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD Thomas Nolan Arnold MacAdorey Father J. A. Sweeney NIAGARA FALLS SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD Faho Martin Andrew Sheedy John Broderick Mr, J, McMahon Chairman Member Chairman Member Member Secretary of both Boards Mr. Delmer Taylor attended the meeting and represented the Municipal Auditors. He explained that it is the duty of the Auditor to point out operations of a municipality that do not comply strictly to the various Acts the Council is governed by, and they felt obligated to point out that the Separate School Aot provides that the Board should apply for a definite amount of money instead of requesting that their mill rate be the same as the Public School rate. In respect to the Public School debentures he pointed out the provisions of Section 3 of The Public Schools Act and Section 56 (6) of The Separate Schools Act, separate school supporters were. responsible for their share of the Public School debt when their support was changed. A general discussion took place concerning the two matters brought to Council's attention, The consensus of opinion of the members of Council was to the effect that Separate bohool Boards should apply for a definite sum of money in their requisition and that the question of charging separate school supporters for Public School Debentures incurred up to the time they changed support was not practical at the present time since the Separate School Boards are providing class• room facilities for Township pupils and issue their own debentures to provide for such olass rooms. It was pointed out that the ratio of Separate School Assessment to Public Sohool is less than 10 to 1. For these reasons it was generally agreed that Separate School Supporters would not be charged for Public School debentures at the present time and the following resolution was passed pertaining to,the requisition for funds., 1 S.S.

It wee the ooncensus of opinion that the time was not opportune ..to develop all the lots within the plan at this time. The representatives of the Monarch Construction Company stated it was their desire to only develop a section of the plan at a time in order that market requirements could be ascertained, but it was their plan to develop all of the proposed subdivision within a period of from 3 to 5 years. Dr, Faludi stated that the Company would not be adverse to paying a proportion of capital school costs but suggested that these costs should be called costs for public purposes, The representatives were 1 1 il.

Mrs. Cora Craig of Lundy's Lane addressed the Council and asked if it would be possible to have the restrictions lifted on property owned by her on which her tourist establishment is situated to permit an extension or enlargement of her facilities. Members of Council expressed the opinion that the restrictions should be, amended to permit her to remodel and enlarge her establishment and suggested that she make official application to do so, Mr. H. A. Haigh addressed the meeting and gave information in respect to a request of the Welland District Health Unit for additional funds required to build new quarters adjacent to the Welland County Hospital in Welland. The per capita cost to take care of the new building will be raised from $1.40 to $1.50. It was decided to refer this request to the budget committee to deal with. 1,r Mitchelson Allan 3.1 Bates Sootheran' "THAT the minutes of the meetings held on January 24th and January 26th, 1955 be adopted as printed.

Cler No, 48 A joint meeting of the Councils of Chippawa ppawa illage Willoughby Township and Stamford Township was held in the Township Hall at 7 :30 p.m. Friday August 12th, 1955. This meeting was called by the Council of Stamford Township for the purpose of deciding equalization of educational costs among the three municipalities. Reeve Deputy Reeve Councillor Councillor Clerk Reeve Councillor Councillor Councillor COuneillor Clerk Reeve Councillor Councillor Councillor Clerk""' s At the commencement of the meeting it was explained that the High School Act was such that the three municipalities paid the cost of operating the high school as well as the debentures on the ratio that their assessment bears to the total equalized assessment of the three municipalities. In respect to the Public Schools each municipality had been charged up to and including this year on the basis of their own operational and debenture costs plus a small amount for administration. The Act as amended in 1994 it 1 4 G High School Act Cont'd Payments Aug. 12, 1955 id Pi No. 49 present Minutes 11 Sootheran Bates provides that Public School costs should be proportioned on the basis of tote percentage of assessment ratio on the equalized assessment as set by th3County Council. Stamford representatives suggested that in setting the ratio for payments that only the Public School assess- ment should be taken into consideration. They pointed out that even though the Act calls for the distribution of costs on the basis of assessment ratios that it might prove a burden to Stamford later on. After thorough discussion of the matter it appeared to be the consensus of opinion that the municipality should apportion the cost of Public School Education along the basis of equalized assessment. However, no action was taken since each of the three Councils must consider the matter separately. After this question is so considered Willoughby and Chippawa will forward Stamford resolutions advising their decision. It was pointed out that all three Councils should take action as soon as possible in order that the assessments of assets and liabilities in respect to the Chippawa annexation could be completed.
