Statutory meeting of the Council held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday, January 2nd, 1951, at 11 a.m. Members of the Public Utility Commission and the Board of Education were also present. All the members of the Council and the member of the Public Utility Commission took the Oath of Office before Clerk, A. C. Huggins. The Reverend Gustavus Munro gave the Invocation for the 1951 Council. Reeve Arthur G. Bridge gave the inaugural address as follows: Members of the Township Council, Public Utility Commissioners and the Board of Education, and also to all others present: It is my pleasure to be able to present to you, my first inaugural address as your Reeve for the present year. In order that you may be able to follow my remarks more closely I have made a new departure from previous years, and the responsible officials have a copy before them. In the first place, I wish to congratulate the Deputy Reeve, R. I. Prior, Councillors John Allan and William R. Sootheran on their re- election, and also wish to extend a very hearty welcome to the newly elected Councillor George White, who at his first attempt succeeded in being elected to the Council. I must also extend a very hearty welcome to Mr. James Wincott, who has been elected to the place on the Public Utility Commission, so long held by Mr. K. C. McLeod, and I sincerely hope that he and myself can work in harmony on that Commission. That the three retiring members of the Board of Education have been returned by acclamation, should be sufficient evidence that their work in the past two years has met with the approval of the electors. However, before going into the actual substance of this address I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the manner in which the clerical staff have carried out their very onerous duties during the past year. The greater amount of work caused by the many new sub divisions has been carefully taken care of, and they, one and all are to be commended on their work. To the Engineering Staff, and Road Officials, with the growth of the Township as it has been evidenced by the number of permits issued during the year, well over $3,500,000, and with the in- creased work by reason of the aforesaid mentioned sub divisions, I can find no fault with their work. In fact, the whole of the Township officials have done all that could be expected of them, and I, as well as the other members of the Council look for a continuance of their support in carrying out their respective duties. To the three different Fire Brigades, may they be able to continue the same efficient work in 1951, that they have done in the past years. There is one matter that I think it is incumbent to speak of. In the light of the serious state of world affairs, it does seem to me that all municipalities must begin to take stock of the ability of the property owners to be able to pay the ever increasing taxation. The fact is apparent to most of us that there will have to be some rather drastic retrenchment in municipal spending. By this I do not mean that there will be any diminution of funds for the welfare of the children, as it is on their well being that civilization will survive. We cannot afford to let down to a very great extent, the education of those who are attending school, and this may be out of my jurisdic- tion, but I would respectfully suggest that in the building of all new schools, that all the frills be eliminated with a view of saving costs. By this I mean, that whilst it is desirable that a building should be in keeping with the neighbourhood, it seems to me that a lot of money is being spent on the outside, and not enough on the inside. The best of teaching staff must be maintained, and I believe Stamford has a very efficient staff of teachers. I am sorry that I cannot hold out any hope for a reduction in the tax rate for 1951, and the only way that I can see at present, is that a certain amount be transferred from our surplus account. This sur- plus has been raised by the taxpayers of the past and may be required later on, should a depression come upon us again. However this matter will be taken up when we discuss the budget. During this year, the Council will have to consider the Hydro development. There are so many different points to be taken up, and I can assure you that there will be no agreements made, unless a majority of the Council are in favour of same. Whilst there have been some verbal promises made, that Stamford will not suffer, yet they must be in writing, signed by the responsible officials of the Ontario Hydro, and agreed to by the Council. As you know, we have an agree- ment with the Hydro now, whereby we are paid 05,000 in lieu of taxes, but this will have to be definitely understood that any buildings now being erected or acquired by the Hydro will have to be subjected to the full taxation as those owned by private individuals. I want to assure you that on all matters in connection with this projected construction your counsel and advice will be asked for, and I have no intention of assuming any responsibility myself. If it is deemed advisable to call a special meeting it will be done. As a member of the County Council, I will together with Deputy Reeve Prior do all that it is possible to see that Stamford receives a little more consideration in road work. For many years it has been apparent that considering that we pay possibly one sixth of all the County taxes, we have not been receiving any too much consideration. This we both will try to remedy. I am going to propose that our system of financial statements that the members of the Council receive every two weeks, be changed somewhat, so that the various committee Chairmen will be able to see just what is being expended in the committee they preside over, and they will be able to sign the statements. During this year, I am of the opinion that some consideration should be given to oppose the Private Bill being presented to the Ontario Legislature to validate the agreement entered into by the City of Niagara Falls and Public Utility Commission in regard to the supply of water. Ten years is long enough but to have same run for twenty years, is in my opinion too long. In view of the amount of water that will be required by the Hydro during the next five years and with the continued increase in our population, it would seem that if the agreement is continued for 20 years, we will be paying Niagara Falls, some $1,750,000 for water, and still own nothing. With regard to our Assessments, and in view of the fact that we are having our valuations gone over by a County Assessor, it seems to me that this should be hurried up, and not to have to wait to 1955, to know just what the valuations will be. I am sure the Deputy Reeve will assist me in County Council in trying to have the work completed long before the year stated. I have reason to believe that this year will see considerable agitation on the part of certain officials of the City of Niagara Falls to try to annex a certain portion of this Township or to amalgamate the two Municipalities. To overcome this I suggest that a special committee, not necessarily members of the Council, be appointed as soon as possible to gather the statistical information that will be necessary to have to present to the Ontario Municipal Board if and when the time comes that it will be incumbent upon this Council to protest against any encroachment by the City on the boundaries of the Township. Remember the American Cyanamid deal some years back. There are many other matters that will be discussed as the weeks go by, and I intend to seek your advice on all matters that may have to be discussed at the various Boards and Commissions that I have to sit on by virtue of being your Reeve. Recommendations will be made concerning the re- organization of our Police force, the Arena Commission, as well as the various appointments that will be made concerning various organizations that normally have some connection with the Council, all of which may be taken up in committee or in open Council. Before ending this address, I see I overlooked mentioning the splendid work being done by the Wel'.and District Health Unit, and also by the Victorian Order of Nurses, and their services are a very great asset to the community. I propose to be at the Township Hall three days a week, Monday, .Wednesday and Fridays, so that any ratepayer who has any problem or maybe grievance to speak of can see me, rather than at my home. There will however, be nothing definitely promised, but the Council will decide on all matters. In conclusion, I thank the electors of Stamford for the honour conferred upon me, and it would be very refreshing, if the ratepayers would come to the Council meetings to see how your business is con- ducted, and with a word of thanks to the Evening Review and to Radio Station CHVC for their news coverage, may I wish you all present a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year. atory 1.

Bridge Reeve Donald Glintz Deputy -Reeve W. R. Sootheran Councillor G. A. White Councillor This meeting was called for the purpose of visiting the Woodbine area of the Township to consider remedial action to be taken in respect to sanitation problems affecting the district. The inspection disclosed that sewage from septic tanks and drainage from private house drains was causing serious sanitation conditions. The drains from some of the houses lead into ditches on private property and the side of the road and this affluent is not being carried away since the ditches have hot been graded to provide gravity flow. The septic tank situation appears to be caused from the particular type of soil not being able to absorb the affluent from the drains from the tanks. No decision to remedy the situation was reached but it was suggested that the owners in that area work out a scheme to have proper.- ditches constructed on their property to carry the waste liquids away.

White Councillor J. N. Allan Councillor leek The meeting was called to meat with the Housing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the proposed rental housing unit for the Township of Stamford. The following members of the Housing Committee attended: R. L. Connell, A. W. S. Bennett and F. A. Bra nscombe. On behalf of the Committee Mr. Branscomhe presented the following resolution passed by the Chamber of Commerce: "To the Reeve and Council of the Township of Stamford: WHEREAS the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce, with the full approval of Stamford Township Council, recentl appointed a Special Committee tostudy the housing situation and to endeavour to find ways and means of relieving the distressing local condition,‘ and WHEREAS representations by the Council of the Township of Stamford to the Dominion and Provincial Governments urging legislation to declare Greater Niagara an emergency housing area and to authorize a 10% minimum down payment for purchasers of newly con- structed houses were not productive of the desired Government action, and WHEREAS the Chamber's Committee, following con- siderable investigation, (a)- confirms the conclusion of the Council of the Township of Stamford that there exists a serious shortage of housing in the Greater Niagara Area, (b)- regards the immense pro ject of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario as having intensified the shortage, and (c)- considers that cons 'truction should be pro- ceeded with as soon as possible of at least fifty (50) low rental houses: THEREFORE, the Chamber of Commerce recommends: (1) -that all information in possession of the Special Committee be made available to and carefully studied by Council (2) -that Council consult the appropriate Depart- ments of the Dominion and Provincial Govern- ments with the view of setting up under The National Housing Act, 1944 (and subsequent amendments) a Housing Authority for the purpose of effecting Section 35 of the said Act whereby the Dominion and Provincial 'Governments assume 92j% of the cost of a low rental housing:project in.conjunction y lerk Housing Plan 1. Sootheran White Adjourn Nov 9, 1951 with a municis::lity and on a non subsidy basis on the part of the municipality, and (3)-that Council confer :cith the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario toward the ac- quiri ng of land from the Com^;i osion at very low coot for a lot,- rental housing project, and (4) -t'•at the aforementioned procec e w! ich has been exhaustively studied by the Special Committee, sha l entail no increase in the Township's general tax rate ar.d that additional tax revenue should accrue from the proposed development. Dated at Niagara Falls, Ontario, November 5th, 1951." After the presentation of the above resolution a General discussion took place ont':•e project. This brought out the fact that the Hydro property Was considered to be large enough for approximately 50 houses, which would cost an estimated H9,000.00 each and rent for between $50 and $60 a month. If the mun:icl•-alit'- receives the property from the Hydro for nominal amount, the value of the land would Fe considered as the municipality's share. Actually the municipality's share would be 7.5% of 4450,000.00, which amounts to 433,750. If the value of the land was appraised at $20,000.00 the municipal participation would be approximately :13,750. If this amount was amortized over a period of 15 years at 6% it would mean that the municipality would have to pay $1,377.00 per year. The Committee stated that full taxes would be paid to the Township and that the Housing Unit would be administered by a'housing authority. The Committee requested the Council to take immediate action in the matter of acquiring the property from the Hydro and asked that no publicity be given in the matter of the Hydro property at the present time. After the Committee adjourned the Council discussed the matter further and finally passed the following resolution. 2. Sootheran Allan a he°lv dy8 "That the Council make immediate application to the Hydro for the purchase of lands for a nominal charge, said lands to be used for a rental housing plan. The land in question is located west of the Hydro canal, south side of No. Highway.
