Carried unaDimousl~ MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS the m~nbers of the Board of Aldermen, '~I welcome to this inaugural meeting of the Council for the year 1946 three new members. I extend my congratulations on this, your entrance into public service. I congratulate Aldermen 0liver who has retained the confidence of the electors by being returned to office. I em sure that the Council as constituted, while honestly differing at times in our opinions, will work in harmony in the in- terests of those who elect you to your high office. I ask for your co-operation throughout what may be a difficult year because of existing world conditions. '~I take this opportunity of thanking the members of the various civic beards, the executive officers, the press and members of the staff for their co- operation, and I extend on your behalf our sincere appreciations end best wishes for the year that is ahead of us. May I, On your behalf, also express our apprec- iation to those individuals and organizations who, through civic pride, contributed much to our co~aunity life. This spirit of determination and unity entails no sac- rifice too great and we are proud that we are able to con~and the service of the meet successful leaders of our cormunity in the promotion of our best interests and we hope the~ will accept this recognition of the 'contribution they have made. ' rI wish to particularly mention the ladies of the Red Oross and those who lent assistance to tham in transportl~g end caring for the members of the armed forces. The welcome home was made more pleasant under difficult conditions. "The vat is over and we are now meeting conditions that adversely affect the economy of the common people and proper preparations nmst be made to met the situation. As yet we see no sigas that this serious situation is being or ~ill be met. Local governscent, notwithstanding their special knowledge of the needs and desires of the lccsl ~com~unitles, have been con~pletely ignored in whatever nation- al or provincial reconstruction plans have been prepared. We are just a little tired of the major governments asking us to get plans ready and than telling us that in due course something vdll be done. Some definite ~,~rd as to v,fiat and when the governments intend to contribute to the cost of public ~rks is greatly to be desired if we a~e to face this reconversion period ~h confidence. "As we move into the postwar period the big challenge facing us is to devise some effective means for control of capital spending. The annual levies for interest and repayment of principal n~st not reach the point where these lev- ies become greater annually and become unbearable. I suggest you now set up a plan of orderly capital budgetting. No capital sonstraction h.~s been authorized in this City since before ~he depresion period in 1930, and due to the expansion and growth of the City and due to certain of our assets having depreciated, we are now faced with demands through public appeal to commit ourselves to a variety of postwar plans. The last thing we want to d~ is to plunge into a postwar orgy of construction and buildihg with all municipalities 'competing against each other and against industz-y for materials, labour and money. "If there is to be unemployment, and it is becoming raore apparent every day that unemployment is increasing, then that is a greater reason why the polic- ies of the major governments should be divulged and for a very definite control of postwar plans and developments. For instance. in this at.ca alone, there is a great need for A modern airport, Removal of transmission lines' to pemit further development of the City in a westerly direction, Replacement of street cars by bus lin~es, Erection of a convention hall, Elimination of grade crossings, New C.N.R. station, sad elimination of smoke nuisance by removal of - C.N.R. Roundhouse to the new yard. These undertakings are that the major governments mu~t take under advisement and are necessary for the protection of life and prol~rty, health, better transport- ation and promotion of the tourist business. There should be as little confiction as possible between public works inaugurated by local and major governments for relief of unemployment. ' '~)uring the war years the 'Council has reduced the mill rate due to Reduction in tax debt, Rebates for Provincial Government, Increase in assessment, Borrowing from surplus reserves, Reduction in unemploymeat relief. However, in spite of the increased school grants we now receive, I do not see 'how we are going to keep our budgets from increasing to greater proportions in the years immediately ahead. A back log ~ five or six years uf deferred repairs, maintenance and improvements mu'st roesire in~diate attention. In addition, there is an urgent demand for Better street lighting. Increased costs for law enforcement (8-h~ar dsy and better facilities), Demand for increased health and recrea.tional facilities, ~uvenile delinquency and necessity for Juvenile court, Incrassed costs of fire protection and relocation of fire halls, Wage adjust.eats and increase in personnel, · Soyage disposal plaut and new ineinerator. I - There is also the p~blem that has been creeping upon us, year by year, that of exemption from taxation of crown properties, and 'also nev: legislation of govenments placing additional finm~cial burdens upon municipalities. '~/nfortunately, in the'last few years, surplus reserve funds have been used to l~ver the mill rates and show balanced budgets. ~is has only led to dec- eive the taxpayer and now that these. surplus reserves hnve bs en nearly di ssipated and the collection of tax arrears is beconbing more diffucult, the stabilization of an equitable mill'rate must be given more consideration. As the collection of taxes beeches more difficult, so drops the percentage of collection, increasing mill rates and necessitating bank borrowings. I again warn that I cannot agree with any system of budgetting which requires the ~se of reserve funds to meet a balanced budget, sad I would warn ~at such practice will eventually lead to ser- ious difficulty. If reserves are to be used they should be applied againbet de~t reducation, purchase of capital equipment, or earmarked for specific pestsvat cap- ital development. "~ again call upon your attention to the use of public u~lity surplus funds for tax reducation before depreciation reserves are set up for replacmement or ranewals. Depreciation is now written off as debt ~arges are reduced, but reserves should be set up for new installation for protectira against any distur- bance in water supply which is a most serious matter. "Personnel of the staff should receive consideration. The staff of this city is far below that maintained by other cities of comparative size and some vision of~ the future should be implemented through training of- Personnel to prev- ent dislccation in times of emergency. An insufficient or overworked staff is not a compliment to any corporation. Passing responsibilities to the executive does not relieve the elected representatives of their responsibility. "The year 1946 is before us and there is vision for ~he future, l~act- ical planning is necessary to implement that vision in the postwar v~rld. V,~ile the next few months rosy take us through a difficult period of unemployment, shorti ages of housing and fuel, etc., I am optimistic of the future. In the recovery period and the return to normal economic so~ditions, some sacrifice will be neces- sary during the transition. Through planning by capable experienced indivuduals, there is a great co-operative field of magnificient expansion possible for the garden of Canada, one of structural beauty and development. The Niagara District should assume its proper place in the passing parade. ,q~et us keep faith ~'~dth the men and women of the armed forces in rehab- ilitation into civil life and occupation. We are mindful of the sorrow brought to many homes through the l~s s of loved ones, so let us pause in silent tribute to the brave men end women who have made the supreme sacrifice in the service of our country so that our ideals ms~ live. Let us realize our obligations to their dep- endents and also to these who suiTered disability. 'rI coUld not conclude this address more fittingly than by voicing the feeling that is uppe~aost in our hearts - thankfulness for the end of the vmr, the victory that is ours, and for the noble services of the armed forces. We pray to be worthy of the trust which is ours, to help guide humanity and to dedicate our- selves to the preservation of human rights. In this spirit, I extend to one end all the compliments of the season. G.R .INGLIS."

Ald. ~ddale advised that the new secretary of the Association is Grant Craveford. The alderman further advised that the question of the Association hav- ing their convention in Niagara Falls was put to Dr. Horace Brlttain, but, as the records of the Association are in Toronto, it would not he possible for the meet- ing to be held in this City.

Thereport of the Property Committee on the offers received was adopted on the motion of Ald. ~Avidale and Bucknor. The Council considered the suxl~ary of tenders for chassis and cab and equipment to be mounted thereon for the Fire Deparlment. His Worship l. Xsyor Ing- lie outlined to the finance committee why he was opposed to the purchase of the unit for which tenders had been called. His remarks were as follows: -"accord- ing to the summary of tandots it will cost in the neighborhoold of $8,000.00 for an auxiliary truck to be placed at the Centre Fire Hall. Sometime in the future the fire hall will be on Victoria Avenue and the centre hall will be eliminated. T~o units at the south end Fire Hall are in a dilapidated cohdition. The pureper is about 27 years old. If the unit called for by the tenders under consideration is purchased we are still going to leave two units of equipment not in good shape in service at Main Street Fire Hall. If we are going to spend money for new units for the fire departhoot, a new pumper should be purchased and placed at the South end of the city and the LaFrence pureper placed at Walnut Street as an aux- iliary hose unit. It is possible to transfer the body of the Roe hose truck to a new chassis at an approximate cost of $2,000.00. If it is necessary to have an auxiliary unit at the centre hall, move the pmaper from the south end to the centre or take the body of the Rso hone truck and put i t on a new chassis. I can't see the necessity of placing an $8,000.00 peice of equipment at Walnut Street. The north end fire hall has been brough up to date with modern equipment. N~ give the people consideration at the south end of the City. It is not fair to the people .to make this expenditure at the present time. The new equipment is un- necessary at present. The Council should give serious consideration to this mat- ter. We are going to relocate fire stations some time in the future. If the Fire Chief makes recommendations, he will have to tak~ into consideration there will be disagrement. l~Aying a third pureper now is absolutely necessary.,, It was Ordered on the motion of Aid. 9~idale and MacDonald that Fire C~ief Z.C.Shapton be allowed to address the Council on his requipraments so that the Committee.might arrive at a decision. The Fire Chief outlined the equipment n~v in use at the three fire halls and recommended the !airchase of a unit to be used as an auxiliary fire lmmp and hess ~agon. He stated that he hoped that the new unit would respond to all alarms in the City, and this would make more regular firemen available for duty in the early minutes of a fire. Chief Shap~on stated that, in his opinion, the fire department needed three hose carrying units sad that tha auxiliary hose truck should be equipped with a pump sad booster tank ~r~ ,the proposed unit would have a capacity of 200 gallons. His Worship Mayor Xnglis and Ald. Frank ordered that the tenders be laid on the table for two weeks. The motion was defeated. The vote was as fol- lows: Yea: Na~er In~lis, Ald. Frank and MsKlnley. Nay: Ald. MacDoneld, B~ck- nat, ScOtt and Twidale. Oi~3ERED on the motion of Ald. Scott stud MacDonald that tke summary of tenders be considered. The motion was carried. In connection with the purchase of chassis and cab to be used as aux- iliary fire pump ~nd hose wagon, it was ordered on the motion of Aid.

The City ager agreed with the fire chief, also submitting preference for Chrysler or Fargo. ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Bucket and MacDonald that the International unit ha purchased. The motion ~s carried. Mayar Inglis did not vote.

Mr.'.,W~ir referred to the serious situation which has developed through the increase in the price c~. milk. Milk is required by workers in factories be- cause ~ the natore of thei~ work, bat, numerous wrkmen have cut off their milk supply bought at lunc~x tim; families are also budgetting to cut down the con- sumption of milk. Dominion Dietary standards report that Canadian consumption of milk, particularly ~ low intern braclmts are not up to stsadard and this fiAtthor cut in milk constitutes a serious threat to the health of families and dangerous to those below average income. The Trades ant Labour Council commended the City Council for their decision a weak ago in endorsing the lIousewives' Association resolution requesting the subsidy of three cents, but, failure of the A~rovincial GOvernment to take antion is tending to make the situation unfavourable because people are budgetring with less milk aud are becoming accustomed to less milk. The T~ades and Labour Council suggests that the Civic fathers consider some further action with regard to urging the l~ovineial Government to reinstate the three cants subsid~ pending the findings of the investigation and that this be, dons in short order. The Trades und Labour Council are not prepared to advise the action the Council should take in this matter. Mr. Weir referred to the municipalizati. on of milk ~hich seemed to be the only solution to the problem. He concluded by recommend- in~ end requesting that the City Council consider appointing a conunittee to study the question of public ownership of milk with a view to supporting the Trades and Labour Council's urgent requests that action towards tkts ransure be taken in the Province of Ontario.
