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. "THAT a hearty vote of thanks be extended to Reverend W. H.

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. Robinson Subdivision Miss LaMarsh then introduced Dr, R. T. Warmin;ton, Medical Representative on the Board who outlined the reasons why the Medical profession considered that a new hospital should be built on the Scott site.

(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.
