Meeting Adjourned
Hour P. M.
Inaugural Meeting of the Stamford Township Council held in the
Council Chambers on Monday, January 5th, 1953 at 11 a.m.
All the members of the Council and the member o' the Iublic
Utilities Commission took the Declaration of Office before the Clerk,
A. C. Huggins.
Reeve Arthur George Bridge gave the inaugural address as follows:
To the Members of the Township Council;
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Radio Audience.
In presenting this my th ird Inaugural address, and Which, incidentally
may he the last to he presented by any Reeve, I do so hlt.h the knowledge
that the year on which we are entering will be a busier one than any
previous council have had to consider in the past.
Before proceeding with the gist of my address, I .Trish to thank all those
who had any part in my being elected for the second time, by acclamation,
and I must also congratulate Deputy Reeve Stuart Moore upon his accla-
mation to the seat he so well filled last year.
I would like to extend my felicitations to Councillors William R.
Sootheran and John M. Allan on their return to office, and also to
welcome to our midst, Councillor elect Gordon B,,tes, who takes the
place or the former Councillor George White, who retired from office
at the end of the year.
I trust that the Council of 1953 will be able to work in a manner be-
fitting the Township, and that all our deliberations and ideas will
be for the benefit of all those living in Stamford.
I must also at this time, extend my thanks to Radio Station CHVC; and
the sponsors of the broadcasts of the Council meetings, about which
I have heard many favourable comments, not only from those of this
municipality, but from listeners in other parts of the County.
Before I summarize the work of last year's Council, I wish to personally
express my sincere appreciation for the manner in which the Clerk,
Treasurer, Assessor and all the office staff have carried out their
respective duties throughout the year. The work has increased greatly
since I took over as Reeve, and I am fully aware of the excellent work
that has been'accomplished.
Should the projected union take place, it will be imperative that this
staff he retained, as in my opinion, there is none better in the
Councils of the County of Welland.
I purposely left out any reference to our Engineering staff as I
wanted to deal with that in a separate paragraph. I cannot find words
sufficiently adequate enough to express my thoughts for the manner in
which the work has been carried out under the very axle direction of
our engineering Chief, Mr. Merle F. Ker, M.C.I.E., and who for over
30 years has been the directing general of all the work entailed, in
the laving of sidewalks, of which we have laid this year alone some
34978 lineal feet, to tthe'installation of sewers, and that comes to
58 lineal feet, and in addition to the placing- of catch basins and
manholes, the construction of roads, and on which we have spent
$188,500.00. In addition, there has been laid some 18854 feet of
watermains. This work has been carried out without any friction between
the staff and the ratepayers, and every member of the staff, have co-
operated with Mr. Ker in every shape and manner. The Township are
very fortunate in having Mr. Ker in their employment, and every member
e work. The Coun cil r have d had r the e very n best n co- operation
their the
local contractors who have done the work that had to he let out by
contract:,.
The three fire Brigades have again demonstrated their ability to cope
with any fire that may occur, and with the purchase of a new tank
truck for the Falls View section, Stamford will he well protected,
especially in districts where there are no mains or hydrants. I would
like to express my appreciation for the manner in which the three com-
panies carried out the Convention last August. It was most successful,
was conducted on a sphere of cordiality, and the Township of Stamford
can be congratulated on the efficient manner the Convention was arranged
by the fire laddies.
To Chief Worm and our Police force, may I extend my thanks for the manner
in which they have carried out the work of Law and Order, in spite of
the very inadequate quarters they are now occupying, and which I hope
will be remedied this year.
To the Victorian Order of Nurses, and to the staff of tt e elland District
Health Unit, ma" I snv with all sincerity, well done. Your work has been
very commendable, and you all have helped in the prevention of disease,
and in caring for the sick.
To the various committees that have operated during the past year, my
congratulations on the manner that they have carried out their respective
duties, with a special nod to the Chairman of the Finance committee. He
has managed to acquire a surplus.
During the past year, many things have been accomplished, and one of
which tnav undoubtedly later on mean a reductior in the tax rate, I refer
to the purchase of some 60 acres of land that har been set aside for
Industrial sites. Already one new industry has erected their building,
and many more are consi_derinp; locating there. Adjacent to the site,
there are already three new industries in operation, and their location
will no doubt; hasten the sale o" the other portions of our own ground.
We have passed a by -law desi gnating what industries will be allowed, so
that there will he no need for concern by the residents in that, vicinity,
that factories will be erected, whose operation might prove to be very
annoying to them, by noxious .fumes or excessive smoke. A much needed
change was the elimination of the bridge on Porta Road near the Halfway,
and which has been replaced by a modern structure with a grade of only
5 p.c. instead of one of 1$ p.c. A pathway for the chit iren has been
placed on the east side, thus avoiding any accidents to children attending
the Victoria School.
We have already completed arrangements With the Central Mortgage and
Housing Corporation for the erection of 70 houses, the renting of which
will be dealt with by an Authority, already appointed, who will deal
with all matters connected with the renting of same. They have no
envious task, seeing that nearly 300 applications have been filed. These
are described as low rental houses, and will rent at about $55.00 per
month, which will include taxes. We have also some sixty other lots
belonging to the same body, which can he purchased at a reasonable price,
but the purchasers will have to pay for all taxes, services if installed,
under the local improvement plan.
It is to he understood that the Township Council have no jurisdiction
as totnhom the houses will be rented to, hut I am sure that every considera-
tion will be given to the applicants in a fair and impartial manner.
Whilst the following few words are rather indefinite, there is another
project in the making for the eretti_on of another 1$0 houses, but this
may not come to being started until 1954. This is a private project, and
necessarily does not come under the same terms as that of the 70 house
project. The rental situation will receive the greatest attention from
all members, so that the trailer situation can be effectively controlled,
for the reasen that we cannot tax them, and the cost of educating children
must be borne by the others.
The passing of the sub division by -law in 1951 and amended last year has
been the means of being able to keep down our debenture committments,
something that is very desirable seeing that we may be faced with
large committments for new schools.
There are many other matters that I could mention, but the Council of 1952
have no reason to be ashamed of their work.
NOW what is before the Council of.this year.
I am going to recommend that the question of assessment be gone into
very thoroughly, and that there should be engaged at the earliest moment
some outside assistance who will work in conjunction with the County
Assessor, and with our own staff to see that there is a more equalized
assessment made. I am rather perturbed at the small increase in our
total taxable assessmentsince 1 and on which `'inures our -!ill rate
was struck for the 1 tax rate, and to that of this year, on which
the mill rate °or 1 will be based. I mention This because the value
of taxable building permits for the three years amounts to very near
$12,000,000. (Twelve million). The assessment for taxatle purposes
has only increased ,1,537,000. I ani fully aware that under the proposed
County assessment based on what is known as the Provincial. manual, that
there might be some difference of opinion, but it is very evident that
there is something wrong, especially in our Assessment set up. May I
urge the members to give this their serious consideration.
I also recommend the setting up of a Library Board RS I understand that
if this is done, a grant will be made to the extent of 25 p.c. of our
own grant to the Niagara Falls Library Board, and If this is the case,
and we make the same grant this year as we did last year then the
Library Board will receive an additional sum of $3000.00.
Every effort must be made that, the Industrial Committee of last year in
the persons of Deputy Reeve Moore and Councillor ',ihite continue to work
in conjunction with the Greater Niagara Chamber or Commerce to secure
new industries, and whose assistance has been very valuable in the past,
especially in the person of Don Murie.
There should he no let up in the furthering of our road work and an
increased appropriation he requested from the Deportment of Highways,
which I feel will he granted, as Stamford is one or the very few
municipalities who did not over spend their appropriation last year.
During this year, some new quarters should be found for the accommodation
of our police force. Their present set up is not at all adequate, and
whilst it has been suggested that the school house at the corner of
Montrose Road and Lundy's Lane, may be available, this'rnay not be so
for some time, or until the projected addition to the Montrose school
building has been erected. I am under the impression that the school
always known as No. 5, should be given to the Township inasmuch as the
ratepayers in that section have paid for the building many times over in
taxes, and I cannot agree with the suggestion that, the Council should pay
the District Board of Education the cost of two new class rooms for this
building. We have in 1Q52 set aside some $,28,000. for a new police
station, and whilst that site is very desirable, I do not think we can
wait for a year. The present police quarters are needed in the worst
way for our engineering staff.
Our Public Utilities have had a very busy year, and during that period
there was no less than 600 electrical house services installed and
at the present time throughout the whole township they have some 5500
consumers and by the end of this year, it is expected that the number
will be over 6000. Not much less than our neighbours, Niagara Falls.
In rowi the water department, we have 4780 consumers, both residential, com
mercial and industrial. This is an indication of how Stamford is
g
Hower, there must always be some unpalatable news :some tine, for the
Ontario Hydro Power Commission have given notice that at the beginning
of this year, we will have to pay 17.8 per cent more for power, and that
must be horne by those using that kind of energy. The Commission will
let you know very early ,just what your rates will be.
As the ratepayers are aware there was An increase in the water rates last
year, and now that the Commission have to pay the City of Niagara Falls,
three cents per thousand gallons more than we did a year ago, the Utility
Commission is faced with having to make a further increase in water rates;
as based on the consumption this past year, we will be paying the City
some 418,000. more than we did a year ago. May I at this time urge all
water consumers not to waste water in the summer time.
The Stamford Public Utilities under Chairman James Wincott and Commissioner
Booth and myself have had the most cordial relations with the men of
both services, and there has been an absence of any friction between
the.management, the Commission, and all the mete, something that was
extremely lacking not so many years ago. The men have co- operated in
every way, and an addition is hein„ projected at the store house, which
will greatly facilitate the restoring of services in case of a break down.
The Arena Commission have done very well durin,: the past year, and it
is hoped that there will le installed a heating system before very long.
Every thing has been accomplished that was possible for better ice
surface, and the Arena is a credit to the Manager, C. Dah.ner and all
members of the Commission.
I would like now to mention what has been accomplished by your rc-presentu
Lives at the County Council, and must say that I Lave had the greatest
co- operation from the Deputy Reeve, as I did in 1951.
Inasmuch as the great question at the County Council is Roads and will be
again this year, we have had spent, in Stamford over ;;58,700.00 on County
Roads, and about $14,000. on what is generally called En'rtrban Area roads.
This compares very favourably for the manner in which ti e interests of the
Township were looked after, when from 1946 to the end o' 1951 inclusive,
there was only spent in Stamford by the County, and I can
assure you that -e will do our hest. to see that the Beaver dams Road is
widened and resurfaced, the Creek Road completed, so as to take care of
the heavy traffic, that will no doubt eventuate when the horanda Alines
starts operation. We also will try and get the Montrose Road completed
from the Thorold Stone Road tc the Queen Elizabeth Highway.
Before I deal with probably the most controversial subject that will
come before the Council this year, I would like to emphasize the fact
that the finances of the Township of Stamford, are in excellent shape,
despite certain statements made not so long ago, because the Ontario
Municipal Board did not approve of the issue of $891,000.00 for the
new Hospital. Never in the history of this municipality na our
finances been better, and even though there will be a substantial
increase in the mill rate again this year, that has been caused by
the first payment of the debentures of the Queen Elizabeth School on
Drummond Road corning due, and which I believe will raise the rate by
eight and a half mills. I predict a rate of at least 80 mills.
It does seem to me that there must be a greater effort on the part of
the municipalities to force the Dominion Government to contribute a
part of the cost of Education. They are responsible for the influx
of immigrants to this country often with large families, many of whom
are of school age, yet they do not pay one cent towards the almost
intolerable burden of school taxes. The Province of Ontario should
also increase their grants, and if they would pay their share of the
cost of new buildings in one lump sum, instead of annual grants, it
would materially help the municipalities. Whilst I am on the subject of
Education, I am strongly of the opinion that there should be a represen-
tative of the Council on the School Board. They are often too prone,
(I am afraid that they knowing that all councils have to raise the
amount requested, without objection) to go into rather extravagant and
frequently unnecessary expenditures, in order that they May have a
better school than some other section or district. There should be a
greater supervision by the Department of Education over the erection
of new schools. Recent court decisions have shown how futile it is
for councils to oppose Boards of Education. There must be a remedy
for this before long.
The most controversial matter that may come before the Council this
year will he the petition of the City of Niagara Falls to the Ontario
Municipal Board to annex the whole of the Township of Stamford. There
have been two words used, annexation and amalgamation.
Both are different; to my mind the latter word would mean that both
municipalities would agree to join with each other, in other words get
married. The first word means just one thing, to grab what is not
Yours, just as they did with the Cyanamid many years ago.
I have no intention of going into this matter very deeply, for as far
as Stamford is concerned we have not received any notice from the
Ontario Municipal Board that any application has been made just what
we have read in the papers. Until official notice has been received,
I do not think it wise to worry much about the matter especially when
two of the most prominent advocates of the move, are now no loner in
the Council of the City of Niagara Falls. But we ::re not going to
be caught, as we are slowly gathering our arguments together to combat
any move that may he sprung upon us, and we have the assurance cf the.
County Council of :Welland, that they will give us all the assistance
we may need. However, I want to assure the ratepayers that in spite
of this hug -a -boo, the Council will not. relax for one minute their
efforts to increase the industrial situation, and there will le started
this year, three new firms, who will be in operation in 1954, if not
before.
In conclusion, may I again ask for the support of all memhers
council and that our relations may be harmonious in every respect,
bearing in mind that we cannot all think alike, but to work for the
best interest of the municipality you have the honour to represent, and
to you and all the people in the Township, electors or not, my sincere
wish is that this year of1953 may bring peace to the world, and that
it may he a real Happy New Year to you, one and all.
A word of praise was also given by the Reeve to W. R. Sootheran for his
work in securing mail delivery services to the new sections of Stamford
Respectfully submitted,
The Reverand 11. H. Simpson gave the
Deputy Reeve Stuart Moore gave the following remarks:
I have no speech prepared, but I made some notes as our Reeve
was giving his fine inaugural address. I would like to com-
pliment him on his address. On looking over our audience
here this morning, I am very pleased to see the business men
who have taken their time to come to the Hall and he present
at this inaugural meeting. It is a fine tribute to the
Township and they deserve credit for their interest.
On industrial promotion, I would like to extend thanks to the
Hydro for their co- operation and assistance. When the Hydro
construction is finished in this area the Township will be faced
with the problem of finding jobs for these men.
A new Police Station is an absolute necessity, and I agree
with the Reeve 100%.
I world like to say that the Stamford Centre Fire Department
operates their own fire hall and the Municipality does not
pay a penny for the cost of maintenance. Their present fire
hall is'not large enough, and they have the plans to enlarge
it. This cost is not charged to the taxes, but it would take
2 mills to construct such an addition, and they deserve a word
of commendation.
As to the County Council you will have to take the Reeve's and
my word that we are representing you to the best of our ability.
I hope that in 1953 the Niagara Falls Evening Review can see
their way clear to give some coverage to the County Council's
meetings, because the County represents the entire Niagara
Peninsula from Stamford to Crystal Beach, and things that happen
at County Council are very important to this Municipality.
It is the problem of the school hoard to supply accommodation,
and it is the Township's problem to raise the money for the
construction of new schools. Schools should be constructed
without any frills, must be properly heated, lighted and
ventilated, no architect's dreams, to keep the cost of con-
struction down. In the next 5 years we will be.able to
Councillor
W. R. Sootheran
finance the cost for the schools necessar» for the Township's needs.
After all it is not the school but the teachers that turn out the
products.
On the assessment problem I agree with the Reeve that the Township
is faced with a complete re- assessment cor the entire Township, and
we find that there seems to be a relationship which does not bear out.
I do not think there will be any amalgamation between the 2 municipali-
ties, and when the niiesticn is put before the rate pavers it will to
turned down, because of the loss or Provincial g rants, and 1 think
that the City will withdraw their application for amalgamation.
I have said more than I intended on saying at the start, and in closing
I wish to say that this Council in 1953 will do the very best that
they can.
Councillor W. R. Sootheran gave the following remarks:
I liked the very splendid address of the Reeve and I would like to
congratulate him along with the Deputy Reeve on being acclaimed this
year. I would like to assure the people of Stamford that we will do
everything in our power daring 1953 to see that they have the best
possible Municipal Government. As Chairman GI the Finance Committee
for the past 2 years, I can assure the people that our 1953 budget
will be gone into most carefully by the Council together with the
Department Heads, andyour interests will be taken care of down the
line. On the problem of amalgamation I think that when all the facts
and figures are gathered together, both Municipalities will turn it
down, and I also sav that i'' the facts and fip:ures appear to be for
amalgamation I will fight just as actively for it as I would against
it.
Councillor J. N. Allan gave the following remarks:
I would like to congratulate the Reeve on his inaugural address which
had many very good suggestions which I hope can be carried out. To
Officials, Boards, Union and Employees of the Township I hope that we
will have the same co- operation, I also hope for co- operation from
the residents of Stamford. About amalgamation, I would say as I did
at election time that when the time comes, and when the data is pre-
pared I will be prepared to fight to prevent amalgamation. I wish
all residents of Stamford a happy and prosperous New Year.
Councillor G. H. Bates gave the following remarks:
I would like to thank those who were instrumental in electing me to
this Council, and to thank the Reeve and members of the 1952 Council
and those in the Township Hall who in the short interval of my
taking office have doneeverything in their power to bring me up
to date and help me. I would like to congratulate the Reeve on
his Inaugural address and thought he brought out many good points.
On the problem of Education I have always thought it was time that
.the Government shouldered a portion of the cost of education.

The meeting was held to consider assessment matters and in particular
the appointment of assessors and a cleric in the Assessment Office.
The Clerk advised that Mr. Ralph Found of Oshawa had declined the position
of Assessor due to the fact that no permanency to the job is assured. Mr.
Joseph Paglia was considered as not suitable for the work that would be
entailed here and as a result the acceptance of his application should be
withdrawn. It was decided that the resolutions passed in connection with
the appointment of Assessors on February 5th be rescinded.
Applications for the position of male clerk in the Assessor's Office were
considered and the following resolution passed:
Male Clerk 1. Sootheran

and stated that_ their firm would carry out -the complete re- assessment of
the Township at a cost of 820,000.00. It was decided that the employment

In response to-;our request for information concerning the alternative
Hospital Plan Miss Judy LaMarsh and three members of the Hospital Board
presented the alternative plan to baild a hospital on the old site as well.
as the proposal to build.a,new hospital on the Scott site. Miss LaMarsh
acted as Chairman for the Hospital group and gave a brief history of the
hospital problem leading up to the recommendations of the Board to build
a new hospital on the Scott property.
She then introduced Mr. G. E. Carrothers "being a member of the Board of
Governors, who supported the minority recommendation of the Board to build
on the present hospital site. Mr. Carrothers outlined in detail the
Board's minority recommendation to build on the old site. He stated that
he favoured building pn the old site since a single hospital unit is more
simplified and less costly, to operate than a two unit system with the
units separated. He estimated that it would cost approximately $38,000.00
per year more to operate two units which would amount to $380,000.00 in
ten years. He stated that the init'al cost for building on the new site
or the old site would be about the same but building on the old site
permitted more flexibility and would lend itself more easily to the ability
of the people to finance over a period of years.
Miss LaMarsh then introduced Yr. E. B. McGraw who presented facts and
figures and a comparison of building on the old site and the new site.
A detailed table was presented to Council which indicated the cubic foot
cost on the old site at $1.83 while. the cube rate on the new site is
calculated to be a.75.

Miss LaMarsh then introduced Dr, R. T. Warmin;ton, Medical Representative

Y questions concerning; the hospital proposals.
At the conclusion of this period the Reeve warmly thanked the four members

Meeting Adjourned
A Committee Meeting was held after adjournment of the above meeting with the
Grievance Committee of the Stamford Township Employees' Federal Union No. 4
In view of the fact that Section 12.01 of the Union Agreement concerning sick
leave was ambiguous, the Grievance Committee asked that the section be
clarified'. After discussion it was ruled as follows:
(a) Every employee registered as a Union member will be entitled to 26 days
siCc leave and that such leave will be applicable from'the first day of the
Union contract year, and it will not be necessary to consider this leave on
the basis of earned sick leave.
(b) Employees will be entitled to use cumulative sick leave in connection
with a prolonged illness together with 26 days sick leave for the contract
year. Thus if an employee had a serious illness he would be entitled to the
unused portion of his current 26 days sick leave plus any cumulative sick lea
from previous years. Cumulative sick leave being on the basis of 25% of
unused sick leave for each year since the Union ha• the first agreement WI
