R. Sootheran POLICE Reeve Deputy Reeve Councillor Councillor Councillor Members of the hoard of Education and also present at this meeting. All members of the Council and the member of the Public Utilties Coe- mission took the Oath of Office. The Rev. E. E. Shields gave the prayer of invocation. Reeve Gordon W. Monroe gave the inaugural address as follows: It is an honour to me to be your peeve for the ::ea.r 1943. It is not the first time that a Monroe has been honoured in thi way. I will endeavour to serve the residents of Stamford Township to the ut- most of my ability. 1 wish to congratulate Deputy Reeve Allan on his acclamation to his Council office and Councillor Armstrong n who was re- elected to the Council. My congratulations are also extended to Robert I. Prior who served on the Council for three terms previously and to Wm. R. Sootheran, a new -comer who was elected to the Council at the last election. I feel sure that the new men in our Council_ will add to the prestige of our municipal set up. I extend my congratula- tions to George Powell who was re- elected by acclamation to the Public Utilities Commission, also to Rev. A. H. Walkr and C. J. 2essey who have been re- elected to the Board of Education, along with Herbert Roberts and C. J. Monroe, who are sitting on the Board of Education for the first time. Put11c UtiliLi es C memi ss on were In my opinion the Police Department under Chief R. W. Worm is a credit to this municipality. I am sure we may all be proud of the work they are doing in the matter of Police protection. RECREATION In 1947 the Council passed a by -law authorizing the setting up of a recreation commission for the Township of Stamford. The personnel of this commission has been appointed by the Council and they are ready to operate throughout the year 1948. I believe that a re- creation programme properly organized and supervised will be of a s During the past year our Township officials did a splendid job and assisted the Council very materially in successfully administrating township affairs. Having capable officials makes the office of Councillor very much lighter. Stamford's population is now between two and three thousand more than that of the new year's addition to Ontario's cities and the urban residents of Stamford have the advantage of public services equal to those of any of the smaller cities in Ontario, and in road improvements and maintenance including snow removal, street lighting, hydro and jjl schools there are few rural areas in Ontario equal to that of Stamford. I propose at this time to make a short review of 1947 activities and suggest certain works which in my opinion should he carried out in 1 94 8 I will take the various subjects according to headings. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES The Public Health Department is headed by Dr. A. E. Mackenzie, Medical Officer of Health, who along with Miss Cu.limore and Miss Kiemele are responsible for our public health duties in Stamford. This Department has been operating efficiently and they are constantly im- proving the general health standards in our municipality. I understand that they have already made some preliminary plans to better health services this year. k' iE it ae l PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD In the latter part of the year 1946 the Councils of Niagara F Chippewa, Willoughby and Stamford appointed a committee to bring in report to set up a planning board for this area. This committee has had several meetings and a report is now ready to be submitted to t: various councils. When and if the report is accepted initial steph be taken to form a planning and development board for this district. feel that it is desirable to important that areas be set with such a board since co mmercial, t indus and farming purposes. It is most im lmhicip$l;ity.:dsome plan should be up for rorderly future !development. FINANCES tinanciallyS from Stamford is iaeb is e inetter an !time that since no municipality that position today s than at to (dayresaion "hat had to entirely s eheavy' It is of e years has made a more rapid recover heavy bu of the Tax collections were never better and there than re rd slightly less 7 over /than 5% of the collectible taxes remaining unpaid of the 1947 roll.

Stamford off: diversified field for endeavours along this line. I trust that the_. activities will be most successful. WELFARE oprThere are for in employment. g o 'employment at the local office of the Unemployment Insurance Commis -4 :sion. A great many heads of families are having difficulty to manal on unemployment insurance benefits. It is extremely difficult to ss port a wife and family on a maximum benefit of $14.40 these people who are unfortunate to be out of work I extend week symp1 I would recommend that this Council pass a strong resolution petitio ;the Federal Government to increase the unemployment insurance benefi to at least $20.00 per week in the case of married men with a famili The Commission has accumulated large reserves and with the wage cein� for insurable persons being increased to $3,120.00 it would appear larger benefits could be provided. These larger benefits should be `provided even if it is necessary to increase the contributions of tk. employer and employee. It is extremely difficult for a municipality to grant any :assistance to a person who is in receipt of unemployment insurance. :Government subsidized relief may only be granted to persons 'fled as unemployable through physical reasons. When one makesaascon ;parison of relief allowances to unem p to ance the the relief allowances are based on amuchehigheruscale h find possible for a family to get along better in a time of emergency. I certainly think there should be some relationship between allowances under the unemployment insurance scheme and provincial relief schedf I believe it is the duty of the government to see that work is avail able for all employable persons in our country and if this work is n available legislation should be provided to take care of the employe: and his family. I would ask that Council give serious consideration this matter. i P1 Although our finances are i excellent shape we must keep in in 1 mind the fact that Municipal Expenditures have increased dur: tt;e \l- 1 l past few years. This thought must govern the CcuLci :.ila other spending bodies when they prepare their budget estimates for the year 1 94 8 These estimates should be kept as 1o: :)OA L 1' ,,t impairing the progress and services of the Lou FIRE During the past year a Fire Department composed of Volunteers in Fire Area No. 3 was established as a Department and with the co-- pletion of the new fire hall at the corner of G 1 efhol e and nieh Strort this Department took over fire protection the area o r: e te b r 1st. During the year the necessary e rent r d, for is De- partment, which included a new pump °r constructed on ar International truck chassis by Bickle Seagrave Limited, Builders of Fire r t at Woodstock, Ontario. I feel that with the formation a_ this Apparatus, t of t� third fire department, together with the modern new e t they Lave, that the time has come when consideration should be i i eh to the amalgamation of our three fire areas which would ulti .te' provide for a uniform tax rate for fire protection throughout the Township. The Departments and equipment in both Fire Areas 1 and 2 are function- int smoothy- and have been established for a consi der, :1: hum^er of years. In 1946 legislation was enacted er a the Ontario application of Municipal Board could approve the ap p Municipality nt.li would ynp' to areas such as fire on such terms as it deems expedient. I would tl_i.;flt that the time is appropriate for this years Council to apply to this board •for authority to amalgamate the three areas makinb such adjustments of assets and liabilities as may be deemed e:;uitable and fair to etch of the three areas involved. Many advantages would be derived from such a proposal, the greatest would be a uniform fire rate throughout the Township rather than 3 separate rates and the purchasing of ecuip- ment would be for the Township at large rather than the separate areas. I am sure the people of Stamford will endorse such a proposal and I would strongly recommend that the Council of 1943 take steps to have this amalgamation completed. ROADS The rapid development of our Township has increased the popu- lation to approximately 11,800. Last year our building permits amounted to With the increase in population and building permits it is evident that services will increase and it is 'imperative that they should. New subdivisions being submitted, will require sewer, water and sidewalks and after these services are installed stone roads should follow. As you probably are aware the Department of Highways no longer subsidize the township for construction of roads within subdivisions, therefore it is with this in mind I believe a policy should be adopted setting aside a definite amount for construction each year in these subdivisions following the installation of sewer and water. Supposing we say $15,000.00 this I believe will be ample to take care of these streets and suppose we maintain our 5 mills for roads, assuming our assessment will be at least $11,000,000.00 this would give as $15,000.00 for construction of new subdivisions and $80,000.00 for maintenance and construction of all other roads. With this amount available our present road system can be well maintained as well as increasing the width and generally improving Some inside and outside roads. We have Duch as McLeod a Road. o A s number a of bridges i should e have b a reinforced boncrete top as well as being widened and a few old bridges should �e rebuilt. Every effort should be made this year to have an overhead bridge onstructed over the Wabash tracks on Drummond Road and the recon- truction of the Canadian National Railways bridge at the Halfway dertaken so that it may conform to modern construction. We should Plants i'' Reeve's i Address Rev. Shields 1. Allan Prior also make every effort to have the Niagara, St. Catharines Toror, :Railway bridges on Portage and Drummond Roads torn down and the an proaches restored to original grade. We should also incorporate in our programme the constructing at least one mile of permanent road each policy a I recommend that main thoroughfares be our first consideration,�la starting with the widening of Drummond Road to 20 feet from Stam- ford Collegiate to Thorold Stone Road. PARKS AND CEMETERIES The development of our cemeteries and parks should be given careful study 'doing' a little each year until eventually they are made beauty spots. I believe it will be possible this mental gates at the Lund t hou to instal our sl gru public works mill rate. y s Lane year to increasing o w. In concluding this my inaugural address I extend to the Municipal Council the Public cation, Board of Health, Recreation tC ommission and employees of the Township and all residents of Stamford Township my sincere wish for a very happy and prosperous 1948.

He stated that there are no facilities at the present time for taking care of contagious diseases at the General hospital and he thought that it was most important that some consideration be given to the matter of providing hospital accommodation for contagious cases. He also informed the Council that a rumour was being circulated that an epidemic of cerebral spinal meningitis was prevailing but there was no .grounds for this rumour and there were no cases of this particular I disease at the present time.

The Council asked the representatives if it would be possible to amortize the cost of the service over a period of 20 years in order that the yearly cost might be re- duced and the amount of taxes would thus be increased. The representatives stated that a special arrangement would have to be made if this was done. The proposed plan on the subdivision indicated 155 lots. A thorough discussion was held as to the basis of taxation and the cost of the improvements as well as a proposal to develop this property jointly with Niagara Falls in such a way that the City could provide houses for their returned men. It was agreed that we suggest a joint meeting with the City Council on Wednesday, June 2nd, 1948, at 8:30 p.m. in the Township Hall to discuss the joint proposal. Mr. Scott also spoke of the future disposition of the old war- time houses built in Stamford which were built to provide accommodation for war workers. He explained that 1 of 3 plans would have to approved by the Council and stated he would send full particulars concerning these plans to the Council in the near future. Heximer Subdivision 1.

Jerk. 1 This special meeting was held to consider the recommendation from the Board of Education to petition the Council of Welland County to take the following action at their June session which commences next week: 1. To enact a By -law enlarging the Stamford High School District by attaching to it the Municipalities of the Village of Chippawa, and the Township of Willoughby in the County of Welland, and such portions of the County of Lincoln as the Council of that County may by By -law designate. 2. To enact a By -law establishing a Municipal Board of Edu- cation for the Municipalities of Stamford, Chippawa and Willoughby, and such municipalities in the County of Lincoln as the Council of that County may by By -law designate. The Council considered a detailed statement of costs that the Board had prepared which analysed what Stamford's cost would be for an enlarged area against what the cost 'night be if the area only It Enlarged area Bd. of Eaucation lincluded Stamford. The estimated comparison of cost indicated iDurn that the proposed enlarged Board of Education taking in other municipalities would benefit Stamford over a period of years. The unit wes proposed and recommended by representatives of the "Department of Education in Toronto. It would standardize edu jcational methods in all public schools of the unit in such a we; that all pupils entering the high school would commence with e: ly the same background of education. �a Legislation was enacted in 1948 to provide for larger units of municipal Boards of Eaucation and made it permissible r; include one or several municipalities in the set up providing 4 i€ 11, 194$ such units were approved by the County Councils of the municipal ties involved. It is believed that the Royal Commission set up by the Provincial Government will strongly recommend larger unt; for educational purposes when they bring in their report and tY Department of Education has advocated larger units for several 26 years. Such units are in effect in various parts of the United !States as well as Britain. If a unit were formed here the municipalities that might make up the unit would be entitled to the following rear sentatives on the Board: Willoughby Township 1 Chippawa 2 NiagaraRon- the -Lake 2 Niagara Township 3 Stamford Township 5 In addition to the above the County having the largest populati may appoint an additional member to the Board. ent er lers nse After careful consideration of the matter members of es the Council stated that they were in favour of the proposal bu difference of opinion arose as to whether the plan should be i augurated immediately on short notice or whether it should be ferred to the electors at the December election for their en- dorsation. The following resolutions were placed before the meeting: 1.._.
