Reverend Sir, Fellow Council Members, Officials, Staff, Ladies

Mitchelson's
Address
Cont'd
My first, and very pleasant action as your Reeve for 1961,
is to give a sincere welcome to you who are attending Stamford's
first evening Inaugural. Let me say, with no uncertainty, that
you are performing a very essential function in our democratic
system by being present tonight. Effective operation of a democ-
racy requires two components: (1) a sincere governing group and
(2) an interested and informed publlc. To a very large extent,
the actions of all democratic governments at every level are the
reflection of public opinion, and so it should be. If public
opinion is such a vital factor in our democracy, it follows that
this public opinlonmust be soundly based. The electors must
keep themselves fully informed, they must be willing to support
legislation for the good of society, even though it may prevent
some people from doing as they choose and they must consider
themselves as part of the government-whether it be the GevezTdnent
of the Dominion of Canada or of the Township of Stamford. You are
showing your sense of responsibility and interest by being pres-
ont this evening and my sincere congratu!ations go to you.
We who have been elected as leaders of our'community have
an even greater responsibility in a democracy. We must, first
of a11, pursue a course which an informed public opinion wishes
great democratic system. With democracy on trial as it never
has been in the history of modern times, we must make it work
in our little sphere. No other political system every devised
puts the responsibilities of government so squarely on the
shoulders of the average person as does that of democracy.
us to pursue, but this is only half of our Job. From our pre-
ferred position of being on the inside, where we can view all
questions from every angle, and where we know the legal limits
and possibilities, there is an obligation upon us to give true
leadership and help mould public opinion. It is not good-enough
to sit back and watch which way the crowd is going then Jump up,~
elbow our way to the front and shout "Follow me". 'Rather, we
must weight all the facts at our disposal, make our decisions
based upon these facts, and enact impartial legislation, which
we know is for the good of the community. While doing this~ it
is also our duty to keep the public fully advised of the nature
of our problems and the reasons for the solutious.that we pro-
pose. If we do not do so we shall surely fail.
We may sometimes £eel, as m~mbers of Council or as Citizens
of Stamford Township, that our opinions end decisions are in-
consequential. Bu~ let us not forget that we are part of the

I would like to pay a tribute to the men who served with me
on the 1960 Council. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work
with them for the benefit of the people of Stamford Township.
As you would expect, there were wide differences of opinion on
some of the problems but I would like to state that when the
facts and statistics that had a bearing on each problem had been
studied in terms of "the greatest good to the greatest number",
the decisions made, were in my opinion, in the best interest of
the ratepayers. I would like to state that each member of
Council worked diligently in the interests of the ratepayers,
in many cases over and beyond the call of duty and in my opinion
are entitled to the gratitude of the people whom they served.
As a result of Election Day, Monday, December 5th, and the
decision of the electorate to enlarge the Council, there will.
be three now men in the 1961 Council. Deputy-Reeve Robert Keighan!
was defeated at the polls but he can feel that during lg60 he
served ably and well and I can assure him that thebenefits of
his five year's experience as Councillor and Deputy-Reeve are
going to be missed on the 1961 Council.
On behalf of the people of Stamford Township and myself, as
Reeve, I would like to congratulate all'successful candidates of
the 1960 Council who were re-elected and to welcome Councillors
Dr. H. R. Potter, Mr. W. G. Scott and Mr. G. A. Sexsmith to the
challenging Job to which they have been elected for the first
time. I know that they will use'their talents to do the work
that they must now do,with honesty, integrity and forthrightness,
and as time goes. on they will find the satisfaction that comes

a variety of other services where the immediate control lies with
some appointed board, commission, committee or authority. Peri-
odically, the elected representatives appoint all or most of the
· . ~em~ers of such governing bodies --- some from their own ranks,
some from the general public.. The Municipal Council receives
financial reports on all their operations, provides much of their
funds and has an opportunity to consider many of their major
policy proposals before they are implemented. In some instances,
the elected representatives have the power of veto, in others,
their authority is less.
The duties of elected representatives are many and varied.
They are expected to exercise local policy control and general
administrative supervision throughout the entire range of local
government undertakings. Besides the services which they over-
see directly, they must accept the ever-riding responsibility for

carried out in co-operation With the province. To a consid-
erable extent, civic services are subsidized through Provincial
grants of one type or another.
APPRECIATION TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND THEIR STAFFS
To accomplish the work that was achieved in 1960 required
the dedication and hard work of a competent staff. I would
be remiss indeed, if I did not draw the effort and loyalty of
the staff to your attention, and the attention of the people
of Stamford Township, and praise and thank them on your behalf.
Without their efforts, we as residents would not be able to
enjoy the services we demand in a fully modern community. The
Clerk, A. C. HuFfins, the Engineer, Conrad Eidt, the Treasurer,
R. W. Daws, the Chief Assessor, Ben Prior, the Building Inspec-
tor, Arthur Bradley, the Plumbin~ Inspector, W. Pattison, as
heads of their respective departments have done yeoman service.
The Police Commission and the men on the Force under Chief
Constable John Cunningham deserve our thanks for the manner in
which they have preserved law and order and the many other
kindnesses which men of the law perform.
The Public Utilities Commission and their staff who supply
the water and electrical services we require are to be com-
plimented. (Especially when the weather is at its worst.)
Another group of fine-spirited citizens whose services give
us all peace of mind is the group of men who serve in Stamford's
Fire Departments. Under the direction of the Fire Con~nittee, the
men ~f the three Mire Departments render service of such a high
calibre that the Underwriters set Stamford's fire rate at the
same figure as the adjacent City. This predominantly volunteer

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Under the able superintendence of the Township Engineer,
a road programme amounting to $202,000 for Maintenance,
$135,000 for Construction and $22,200 for Supplementary work
for a total of $359,200 was efficiently carried out.
The following main traffic arteries were extended to a
36' width of pavement: (1) Dorchester Road from Lundy's Lane
to McLeod Road, and (2) Caledonia Street from Weaver Avenue
to Margaret Street. Dorchester Road which was widened in 1959
was paved with hot mix from Lundy's Lane to the Queen Elizabeth
Way and from the Queen Elizabeth Way northerly to Bright's
Wines.
The following rural roads were improved or reconstructed
thus keeping a desirable balance between urgan and rural im-
provement in our roads system: Garner Road, Mountain Road,
Beechwood Road, Warner Road and the Welland Line Road.
roa h~h:br°Z2o u 1.91 miles, the widening of 1.S
miles, asphalt paving .83 miles and surface treating of .28.5
miles. ,
In addition to the above, the Roads Department constructed
the roads in twelve (12) registered subdivisions.
Other services constructed during 1960 were: 1.0 miles of
sewermains, 1.05 miles of watermains, .77 miles of curb-faced
sidewalks, 4.93 miles of ordinary sidewalks and .52 miles of
curbs,
In the Parks Department the regular park maintenance pro-
gr~nwne was carried on making these areas available for recre-
ation. The John N. Allan and the Gustavus Munro Parks were
formally opened to the publiC. Land has been purchased for
the Merle F. Ker Park in the Stamford Centre area with funds
from subdivisions for Public Purposes at no direct cost to the
taxpayer. A start was made to provide long required tennis
facilities by the construction of two.(2) courts at the A. G.
Bridge Park.
During 1960 a mobile telephone system was introduced in
the Works Department. New all ,supervisory personnel are in
radio contact with the Engineer s Office and the storehouse.
This has resulted in a much more efficient use of the super-
visory personnel and is ~roven by the fact that the gasoline
used in the Road Foreman s truck has been reduced by 50%.
The introduction of driver-watchman results in all 40
vehicles being gagged, greased, oil chan~ed and washed be-
tween 5 p~m. and 1 a.m. This makes all vehicles and crews
available for each 8 hour workin day and makes available
an answering and trouble inspection service during these
hours. The close co-operation of the Police Force makes these'
services available on a Township wide basis.
WINTER WORKS PROJECTS
As in former years the Federal Government will contribute
50% and the Provincial Government 25% towards the labour costs
on approved projects, The remainin 25%, material costs and
costs of supervision must be borne ~ the Township. Approval
of projects to the estimated costs of $162,800 has already
been-,received and other projects have been submitted for approval

Mftchelson' s
Address
Cont ' d.
Forty men were kept workin to the end of Ma , only 10 were
started in October because of ~imitations of 196~ budge~ and 42
men are now workin~ on construction projects that required
the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board for Debenturing
purposes.
The Stamford Township CoUncil feels that the higher
levels of government should contribute to (1) the cost of
materials, (2) the supervisory costs and (3) make progress
payments so that the municipality should not have to pay
interest payments from the time the work is completed until
late in the fall as in the past. These requests along with
statistical information were forwarded to Ntss Judy La~rsh,~P
and were presented to the Government on th~ floor of the
House of Connnons.
TOHNSHIP GROkTTH
During 1960 the population increased by 700 bringing the
total to slightly in excess of 30,000. During the same per-
iod building permits having a value of $4,146,632 were
issued, the larger.portion of which was residential develop-
ment. This amount represents a decrease of about $2,000,000
over the average of the last five years and re-emphasizes the
need to make a sincere effort to reverse the trend from
residential to industr~al and commercial development. The
.buildin~ programme has resulted in an increase in assessment
of a prox!mately $1,250,000 to a 1960 total of roughly
$53,200,000.
· MoSt af the industrial development in Stamford results
from the expansion of established industries. The Council
is pleased with this expression of faith in the economy of
the area by these firms but feels that continued effort must
be sustained and accelerated by those responsible for
assisting new industries to 19care here. .
During 1960 although two new public schools and local
improvements were financed, our caplea1 debt remained sub-
stantially the same, largely attributable to principal debt
retirement. Nevertheless, our debenture debt remains at a
sizeable figure, actually $9,331,000, aRd will require the
closest scrutiny of the 1961 Council and other elected bodies.
PLYLIt TRANSPORTATION
During the year, the Township of Stamford and the City of
~lagara Falls Jointly took action to establish the Greater
agara Transit Commission by means of a private bill in the
Ontario Legislature. The personnel of the Co~Lssion have
done an excellent Job since October 15th when they took over
from the N. S. & T. and deserve the thanks of the people Of
the municipalities for a Jo~ well doBe? "

will commence usin~ this service more fully, so that a weekly
loss in excess of 300. can be converted into a profit, or at
least break even.
CLOSING OF ACCESS ROADS TO Q. E. W.
The Ontario Highways Department applied for a hearing before
the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the closin~ of the
accesses onto the Q. E.W. The 1960 Council and residents in
the areas affected were not completely satisfied with the '
proposals of the Department of Highways. The sound objections
presented prompted the O. M. B. to hold two hearings on this
matter.
Despite the fact that certain re uests had the support of
Stamford, it was impossible to get co~itments from the
Department of Highways with respect to a complete interchange
at Mountain Road; future fly-overs between (1) Thorold Road and
Lundy's Lane, (2) Lundy's Lane and McLeod Road and (3) at the.
Creek Road.
An indication by the Department that studies and surveys
would be made at the time these structures would be needed was
'not satisfactory to the 1960 Council. ~en we recall that the
Council presented its case to the Department at its official
level four times, the ministerial level once, and before the
O. M. B. twice without achieving the desired success, we must
realize that the Council that is in office when the actual
closing is started and construction about to commence must
insist that these studies and surveys be made and then strive to
see that Stamford gets Justice in these mutters.
SUB-DIVISION POLICY
The 1959 amendments to the DecOration of Policy which
creased the standards generally, re uired prepayment for all
services and insisted on a policy o} infilling, have proven to
be sound. The general condition of the economy of the nation
has slowed residential and industrial development generally.
However, 163 residential units were completed in Stamford
during the year.
A very close check must be kept on lots that are not built
on in the serviced areas, so that the policy will not retard
the construction that the economy requires consistent with
sound land use and planning principles.
Our serviced industrial areas are increasin~. This is a
part of the effort that must be made to attract new
necessary'
industrial assessment to Stamford.

Address
Conte d
It is evident from all this that no step has been taken
lightly, that all considerations have been based on fact,
that the history of the past has been carefully assessed
and that the welfare and prosperity of the Greater Niagara
Area for the foreseeable future has been weighed with
gravity.
The Councils of 1960 and Councillors and Alderman
elect for 1961 unanimodsly supported the resolution to pre-
pare a Joint application to the O. M. B. for the establish-
ment of a "new ci~,y" .bas. ed on the recommendations and the
report.
The enlarged area visualizes a broader and better.
balanced assessment base, economies resulting from elim-
ination of duplication of services and greater efficiency,
· sounder planning policies for fuller and moreeconomical
use of our natural assets and land use.
This historical move places a tremendous responsibil-
ity on the leaders you have elected to protect your in-
terests. It is their responsibility to see that no stone
is left unturned to do everything possible so that de-
b future sound,
ctsions that affect the aforeseen le are
reasonable and based on the necessary statistics.
(2) HYDRO AND TAXATION
In 1960 grants in lieu of taxes from'the Hydro Electric
Power Con~aission under the Power Con~nission Act amounted Co
I270,000. This included approximately $49,000 based on
2.00 per square foot of ground floor space on the Generat-
ing and Transformer Stations which was paid in 1959 for the
first time. This system of ~ayments is contrary to~the
Ontario Assessment Manual.
I said in 1960 and I repeat now, that the payment of
grants on the aforementioned buildings was long overdue.
the principle of uniform
If this municipalit must accept
basic ower rates tKroughout the Hydro systems (which we
do), t~en we are entitled to fairer treatment with respect
to grants in lieu of taxes on generatin~ and transformer
stations. '
The Council met with the Honourable Robert Macaulay to
present facts and press our case further. We were well
received the statistics made a favourable impression and
further information was requested. It is now hi the
~rocess of preparation and an appointment has been made
or January 25'to present and discuss it with the Minister.
It is the sincere hope of the 1961 Council that these
data may lead the way to a new basis of calculations that
will be more equitable to all municipalities that have
enerating and transformer stations located within their
Boundaries and show a more realistic basis .of tax payment
in propostton to the taxes paid by other industries in

(3) ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENTS
In 1961 the Assessment Department will be required to
apply some new assessment principles and make the regular
5 year depreciation adjustments to conform with the uniform
ass~Z~iu systemas co-ordinated by the County Assessor.
This wil~ require a great deal of extra work on. the part of

Mitchelson's
Address
Cont'd
During the year 1960 negotiations took place with represen-
tatives of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario for
the purchase of approximately 19 acres of property located on
the east side of Stanley Avenue within Part Township Lot 56
and lying immediately west of the Hydro Canal. The Council was
successful in securin an option to purchase this property until
1961 at a price of $1~00.00 ~n acre. An amount of $13,712.00 ·
was levied for this purpose in 1960 leaving an amount of approx-
imately $13,400 to be raised in the year 1961. Although the
construction of a plant will not be required for a few years, it
was considered advisable to acquire the site at this time when
the land was available.
In addition to the aforementioned site, I suggest that serious
consideration should be given to ac uiring a site at the south end
of the Township for a plant which w~ll be require t ere
d h within
the next 4 years. In such considerations, the possibility of
taking advantage of the new Federal and Provincial legislation to
assist Municipalities in this connection, should be fully explored
in view of the fact that plants completed before March, 31st, f963
would be eligible for a substantial federal subsidy.
(5) PARKS
Councils of the past few years have made considerable progress in
acquiring and developing park and recreational areas for the
benefit of the citizens of the Municipality. In my opinion this
policy should be actively continued in 1961 to ensure that adequ-
ate recreational areas will be available for the present and
future inhabitants of the Township.
(6) PLANNING
During all of 1960 the members of the Niagara Falls and Sub-
urban Area Planning Board had the services of a professional
planner. As a result, the uality and volume of the work that
the Board has been able to ~o has increased.
The Plannin~ Board assisted the Council materially in con-
.soildating over 200 zoning by-laws into 2.by-laws, one covering
Stamford South and one covefinE Stamford North. An application
to the O. M. B. has been made to hear these by-laws and it is my
hope that an appointment will be made in the near future.
The advisory function of the Planning Board under the Pro-
vincial Planning Act throughout the whole 1~ Council.
field has been of inestimable value to thera~ of the planning
(7) FI~CE
The phenomenal growth of the Township during the last 10 years
has resulted in increased capital debenture debt, as well as
operati costs. With increased growth, rising costs cannot be
avoided~ut it is imperative that the Council and all other
elected bodies use the utmost discretion in proposing any capital
expenditures in the current year and it is equally important
scrutinized and
that all operatin~ costs be ~arefully scr efficiency
b In
improved and costs curbed where possi le. this respect I feel
that Council will have the utmost co-operation from the other
elected bodies.
(8) ENLARGED 1961 COUNCIL
A rivate bill of the Ontario Legislature permits the
ment o~ the 196100uncil to a Reeve, Deputy Reeve and 5

The additional members of Council has made possible. the
re-organization of the committee work on a different basis
than in the past. The 1961 Council proposes five major
committees designed as outlined in the procedural By-law to
be passed tonight. It is our hope that this organization will
distribute the work load as evenly as possible and promote a
higher degree Of efficiency.
The rendering of the services which local ~Dvernments
provide nowadays have become big business. Local affairs
demand much time and energy from all elected representat-
ives. It is obvious from all the foregoing that the re-
sponsibility for conducting the affairs of Stamford to-day
requires the co-operation of many people who are keenly
interested in their municipality,
It is the sincere wish of the members of the 1961
Council that they have the capacity to grasp the essent-
ials of large-scale and complex undertakings, the
ability to reach sound decisions on important matters and
the good sense to refrain from unwarranted interference
with the day to day work of the permanent officials,

of them can be carried out satisfactorily. I would like to

wish to express my sincere appreciation'to the Officials

and staff for t e wonderful co-operation given to the
Council and residents during the past year, and hope that
the same goodwill will apply to the year commencing.
Many important problems will be coming before Council this

strength to carry them out. I wish everyone a happy and
prosperous New Year.

I am not goin~ to take up very much of your time, as the'
Inaugural Address of the Reeve was very long, however, the
Reeve has covered every portion of the work taken place

people workinS for them and I ~elieve we are getti good

Council and I do hope that we will all get alone as well as
last ~ar,s council, and I believe that the new members
will able to co-operate as well as last year*s Council did.
Mr. Reeve, Guests. Ladies & Gentlemen:
I would like to congratulate the Reeve on his Inaugural
Address. It outlined not only the work done, but the work
which Council must accomplish this year. I would also like to
welcome the three new members to Council, and I know they will
do a good job for Stamford Township. I know that we will all
miss Deputy-Reeve Keighan from the Council this year. In
closing I would like to thank the Officials for their work,
and all the people who work for the Corporation, for a job well ..~
done, and I wish to one and all, a happy and prosperous 1951.

~he tominS year, .an~ I want you to feel free to call upon me
a~ any time, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year,
I wish, first of all, to congratulate the Reeve on his
splendid address. I think we have a very good Reeve and one
which the Council should be only too willing to work with as
co-operatively as possible. I am sorry that my good wife was
not able to be here tonight, but she had the misfortune of ha~ing
an accident, and will be indisposed for several days. 'I think
that the Council policy must be one of economy with efficiency,
and by that I mean we do not want to regress in any respect, but
we must show progress. We must not thwart attempts to develop,
but as time goes on I think that this Council will show you ex-
actly what I mean by these words. The wealth of a Country is not
in the capital it has,'but fromwhat it can produce from its
natural resources. It seems to me, speaking of finances, that
we have the wrong approach. This Country of ours has untold re-
sources, yet we borrow from money lenders. We should get our
money from the natural resources of the Country, and then there
would not be any unemployment and other problems. As far
education is concerned, I think'that the Board of Education in
this Township has done a marvelous job, but we may have to slow
down, but there will be no retrenchmeut or no cut in wages as
far as I am concerned. I think we should adopt a pay-as-you-go
policy. We now have a very large debenture debt. We should be
.able to carry on on the basis of our natural resources. The
Township of Stamford must be worth around 60 million dollars,
and we should at least be able to borrow money from the bank to

don't think that any political party can solve it, It depends "
on the man in office, and the electorate must he jarred to action.;
They must choose men of noted integrity to every office, If an
honest man is elected, he will do a reasonably good Job.. I don't
think that anyone at the present time knows the solution for the
so-called world chaotic condition. I am of the opinion that we
are entering on the greatest expansion in Canadian histot , and

Mr. Reeve, Members of Council, Ladies & Gentlemen:
Being the last speaker is a most difficult position, for
many of the things you intended to say have already been
said and this leaves you entirely on your own inspiration,
which I don't have. As I stand here tonight my feelings are
a mixture of pride and humility to be associated with a
group of such distinguished men, and I feel humble for the
trust that has been placed in me by the citizens. I believe
to run for office is a more or less secret wish of everyone
and to be elected is beyond the fondeat hopes of many of us,
and to you, ladies and gentlemen, my sincere thanks for
making my wish come true, and I will do m very best for
you. To those who were unsuccessful in t~e election, I
would remind you that the pendulum of public opinion can
swing equally far in either direction. There is a lot of
work to be done this year, but with four experienced men
and three ~oung apprentices, we,will be able to cope with
anything t at may arise. As to the costs, it is coming
out of our pockets too, so you may rest assured that we
will make every effort to get full value for what is given.
I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year.

Mr. Samuel Greenspan and a group of residents in the Beaverdams-
Garner Road area were in attendance at the meeting in respect to
the operation of the Greenspan Salvage Yard on Beaverdams Road.
Mr. Charles Martin acted as spokesman for the group and advised
that several of them were dairy farmers with large acreages near
the salvage yard, and their main objection was to the nuisance
and hazard of paper blowing onto their fields. He stated that
this nuisance had existed since the yard first began operations
in the spring of 1951 but that the present year had been the worst
experienced. In addressing Council, Mr. Greenspan referred to a
letter he had written to the Township, wherein he stated he would
comply with the Township by-laws and would also have the fence re-
built which had blo~-n down. He also stated that h~ felt the con-
dition was aggravated by paper blowing off uncovered trucks from
other firms which travelled along Beaverdams Road, and also by
paper blown from the paper mills in Thorold. After further dis-
cussion on the matter, the following resolution was submitted and
passed:
2. MacBain
Scott
"THAT our Clerk be instructed to write to all
operators of salvage yards in the Township
informing them that like all other places of
business they carry on business in our Town-
ship by virtue of holding a municipal license
and that a license to carry on business is a
privilege which will be revoked by this Coun-
cil if the operator does not carry on business
in a proper manner so as not. to be a nuisance
to its neighbouts. This Council does not deem
as one of its duties to tell any sa'lvage opera-
tor or any other business man howhe should
operate his business so as not to be a nuisance
to his neighbouts, but this Council will hence-
forth insist that salvage operators carry on
their business in such a way as not to be a
nuisance and failure to do so will result in
the cancellation of the operator's liceDse
without notice."

in respect to a letter from the Board requesting Council's

ing. Among other questions asked by members of Council, Mr.

Council received letters from Mr. & Mrs. Albert J. Parsons
which complained that the owners of the Town& Country Plaza were
placing the snow from the parking area of the Plaza in front of
their property immediately adjacent to Portage Road and when the
snow melts it will create flooding conditions for the owners of
property in respect to the east side of Portage Road. The Parsons
addressed the Council in respect to the matter and expressed con-
cern that when the pile of snow melted it would wash away top soil
from their Rroperties and perhaps be the cause of flooded base-
ments. He indicated that the problem has existed ever since the
Plaza had been built and also stated that warnin signs in =e
t, .CCe,S' and eg~assh.,' the-Plaza.: shOuld,~e -provided,' After.. ~i%%t

Mr. John Wilson, Rec.Secretary of the Township Employees'
Union submitted letters in respect to the names of the Negotiating
Committee and a request to have a stenographer at the meeting on
February 15th. Arrangements for the Union to have a stenographer
at the meeting was approved.
A report from Committee No. 2 was read in respect to a
zoning amendment application submitted by Mrs. Maida Harris for
re-zoning Part To~rnship Lot 27, Mountain Road, from Agricultural
to Commercial (2) to permit the erection of a motel and dining
room for the travelling public. The report recon~,ended that the
application be not approved for the following reasons:
1. It would constitute spot zoning contrary to the pri~6iples
of good planning. ~
Municipal sewer and water services would not be available.
Mr. Galloway addressed the Council on behalf of Mrs. Harris and
advised that the Planning Board had approved of the application
and that the present use of land is Agricultural but it has not
been developed as agricultural lands. He stated that Mrs. Harris
plans to build a ten unit motel along with a restaurant and that
the motel would only be the second motel between Homer Bridge and
Lundy's Lane. He argued that the application should be permitted
in view of the fact that there were three other motels on the
east side of the Q.E.Way within the vicinity of the applicants
property and that all three were non-conforming in respect to
zoning. After discussion of the matter, the following resolution
was submitted and passed after a recorded vote had been requested

Village. The Reeve also advised that if the owners were selling
soft drinks they would require a Municipal Victualling license
to do so. He also pointed out to Mr. & Mrs. Solose the remarks
made in the Solicitor's report on the matter that they seemed to
be complaining of a private nuisance and they would have the
right to bring an action against the operators of the Indian
Village in which action they could claim damages and an in-
junction. Mrs. B. G. Shultz, who was present at the meeting as
an observer on behalf of the Stamford Ratepayers Association,
informed Council that she was the sister-in-law of Mr. Jobst,
operator of the Indian VillaMe, and advised that the establish-
ment closed to the public at l0 p.m. and that no soft drinks
had been sold to the public. After discussion on the matter

Mr. H. E. Toomath of 2671 Stanley Avenue was present at
the meeting and acted as spokesman for a group of approximately
]8/residents who had signed a petition objecting to the opera-
tion of a helicopter on premises located at the south-east
corner of Portage Road and Dunn Street. He explained that
~heir main reasons for objection was the dust and noise caused
by the helicopter, and also the fact that the operation creates
a hazard for children in view of the fact that the base is not
fensad in. The Clerk explained that according to the Zoning
By-law the only area which would seem to allow an operation of
this kind would be in an Agricultural (1) area, and that the
location objected to was in a Commercial (2) area, and therefore
th9 operation could be prohibited on this basis. The Clerk also
advised tha~ he had received a letter from ~ro Louis Bolus, the

owner of the property, and Mr. Bolus had ordered that Mr.
Ostrander of Western Helicopters move to a new location in
the City of Niagara Falls. A letter had also been received
from Mr. Ostrander verifying that he had moved to the City
of Niagara Falls. Mr. Ostrander was also present at the
meeting and spoke on the matter. As a result of the letters
received, the matter was ordered Filed.
A delegation of residents was present at the meeting in
respect to petitions for watermains on Thorold Stone Road and
Garner Road. Representatives were present in favour of the
petition and opposing the petition. The Clerk then read his
report compiled on the matter which indicated that the petition
for the watermain on Garner Road had been sufficiently signed
both in respect to the number of owners and in respect to the
provision concerning one-half of the value of the lots liable
to be assessed. In the case of Thorold Stone Road, the peti-
tion was not sufficiently signed in respect to the assessed
value of the land. He also explained why certain signatures
had not been accepted. Mr. Robert Green, the spokesman for
the delegation in favour of the petition, replied to the Report
and said the petition was submitted to be considered as one
petition, and not as two separate petitions. He also questioned
the names of owners which had not been accepted. Mr. Green
also produced a sample of the water the residents were using,
for the inspection of Council. Messrs. Keith and Harold McLeod
were present at the meeting in opposition to the petition, and
advised that they were not against the water service, but that
they both owned large frontages and the resulting charges would
be too costly for them to pay. After consideration and dis-
cussion by members of Council it was decided that the matter
would be tabled for further consideration by Council.
Mr. John Digby was present at the meeting in respect to
his application for a Hawker & Pedlar License to sell soft

particular the amending by-law for the Poohack property on
Drummond Road. The Clerk explained that Council had passed a
comprehensive zoning by-law which implemented the Official Plan
and that the Official Plan and Zoning By-law included some new
procedures in respect to planning. It had been necessary for
the Official Plan to be amended and the amendment had been for-
warded to the Department of Municipal Affairs and had nOW been appr0vi
in part. (Amendment No. 9 was approved, with certain deletions,
as of April 6th). As a result of the approval, the Ontario
Municipal Board was now in a position to hear the several zonin%
by-laws and since there was considerable interest in the matter>
the Clerk had asked the Board to arrange for a Hearing, which jt
is hoped will be held in June. The Clerk was also directed to
call the Board to see if the matter could be speeded up.
Mr. Wm. S. Helstrom was present at the meeting in respect
his application for an amendment to the Official Plan from Agricul-

service, and although it might not be beneficial to everyone,
a service to be provided had to suit the majority of the people.
He also mentioned that the extended service would provide an
attraction for industries seeking to locate in the area. In
closing, he asked Council to study the matter carefully, keeping
in mind the welfare of the people of the area. In speaking on
the matter, members of Council, in general, felt that the idea
itself was very good, but questioned the increased rate structure
to be used, in that the residential users using the service the
least would be paying, in proportion, a greater share than Com-
mercial users who would be benefitting the most. After considera-
tion, it was decided to table the matter to permit Councilto study
the plan further.
Mr. Roy Factlay was present at the meeting in respect to a
letter he had written to Council requesting permission to erect a
sightseeing tour sign on the Nagy property at the corner of
Montrose Road and Lundy's Lane. After a report on the matter was'
read from the Building Inspector, Mr. Factlay was advised that
Committee No. 4 of Council would meet with him on May 3rd to look
into the matter.
Mr. Paul Ostrander of Western Helicopters was present at the
meeting in respect to a letter and plan submitted to Council out-
lining his proposals for the establishment of a licensed hellport.
at the south-west corner of Victoria Avenue and River Road, bor-
dering on the Niagara Parks Commission property. In speaking on
the matter, Mr. Ostrander stated that the proposed site was the
only location economically feasible, in this area, and explained
his plans for the operation of a hellport and for future expansion
in respect to increasing the number of aircraft and longer passen-
ger routes. Mr. J. Montgomery of the Chamber of Commerce was also
present and spoke on the' matter, indicating interest in the estab-
lishment of a hellport at the proposed location. Members of Council
discussed the matter and it was decided that it would be considered
by Committee No. 2 and that arrangements would be made to have an
official of the Department of Transport in attendance. It was
also decided to have a r~port from the Solicitor on the matter.

Mr. Mustard, the new Manager of the Bell Telephone Company
was present at the meeting in respect to the proposed "Extended
Area Service Plan" and gave a further explanation of the rate
structure which would be used. He explained that any higher
increase for the commercial users than that proposed, would make
the business dine rate prohibitive, especially for small busin-
esses,,since the proposed rate for business was already 30% higher,
compared to residential line increases of 12% and 14%. He also
outlined the following points to be considered in the matter:
1. The increased rate would not take effect for approximately
4 yrs.
2. Employment in the area would he created by the construction
of buildings and additions...
3. The Plan would be a factor to attracting industry to the area.

they felt that the plan had not been advertised enough to acquaint
the people of the area with the facts as explained to Council.

5 Star Meat Mr. John Matthew, was present at the meeting on behalf of his
client, 5 Star Meats, who had made application for a license to
operate a Retail Meat Store at 1264 Stamford Street. After the
Solicitor~s Report was read on the matter, Mr. Matthew, mentioned
that his clients had canvassed the neighbourhood and had found no
objections to the proposed business from the residents in the
immediate neighbonrhood.
aobt.Green Mr. Robert Green was present at the meeting in respect to the
a summary of several letters received in fav~ur and opposed toithe
watemain construction, Mr. Green informed Council that in try ng
to work out a compromise in the matter, he would ask the owners in
fayour of the watermain, if they would agree to absorb one-half
of the cost for the main in front of the Mc sod properties only,
' and asked Council for the opportunityc~ taking this proposal back
to the petitioners, He stated, however, that such a proposal
should include the condition that if the McLeod property was sold,
the petitioners would be reimbursed for the part o~ the charges
they had paid. ......

Licenses
In speaking on the proposal, members of Council in general felt
that the proposal was a more realistic approach to the situation,
but it was pointed out by the Solicitor that any payment made for
· the McLeod property would have to be paid ia cash. The Clerk
polnted out that a new petition should be circulated and it could
be headed up by the Township Solicitor. The Clerk also stated
that any reimbursement later on would be very difficult to make.
It was decided that the Solicitor should look into the legal
aspects of the proposal and the matter was then tabled.
Mrs. Snyder, 342 Beechwood Road was present at the meeting and
requested an extension of the garbage collection service on
Beechwood Road north of Thorold Stone Road. Mrs. Snyder was
advised that this matter would be referred to Committee No. 4
of Council for consideration.
Mr. Jack Burnerr addressed the Council on behalf of the Motel
Operators Association of Greater Niagara and presented a petition
which was signed by 61 motel operators of Niagara Falls and
Stamford and which asked Council for a declaration of policy
to prohibit the erection of any additional motel establishments.
Mr. Burnerr advised that the signatures on the petition represented
80 and 85% of the motels in the area. He stated that the total
capital investment involved was $6,900,000. He pointed out that
in 1955 at the peak season, 25-30% of the units were not filled
to capacity. Five years later, 40-45% were not filled. He
stated that revenues were dropping yearly and the capital invest-
meats involved were being placed in Jeopardy. He stated it was
the feeling of the "industrf' that the building of any more
motels would only result in harmful competition, price cutting,
and the lowering of standards. He stated that the petitioners
were not asking for permanent prohibition, but were asking Council
to "put on the brakes" in a similar manner to the action taken
in respect to residential subdivisions and land development· In
closing, he asked that the matter be given the Joint consideration
of both Councils and stated that the Association would make avail-
'able informed personnel who could further assist Council.
In speaking on the matter, members of Council questioned what
authority Council would have to regulate the construction of
additional motels and then requested the following information
from Mr. Burnerr before giving the matter further consideration:
1. What percent of the motel operators on the petition support
the Chamber of Commerce Tourist Committee.
If the petitioners wanted Council to regulate the number of
motels, would they also be agreeable to the re~ulation of the
unit prices?

Mr. John Crowther of 2245 Russell Street was present at the
meeting and presented a petition signed by 75 residents of his
area, concerning the possible widenin~ of Russell Street. He
advised that he and his neighbours had been led to believe that
Council was considerin~l the Widening of the street and that it
could possibly become a truck route. He stated that the group
were quite satisfied with the street as it is and did not wish
it to be turned into a major artery with heavy traffic. The ..
Reeve and Engineer explained to ~r. Cr~¢ther that there seemed
to be a complete misunderstanding on the matter, since CounCil
had no plans, or reason, for widening the street now, or in the
immediate future. In replying to a question by Mr. Crowther, the
Engineer explained the drawings made up by the Public Utilities
Co-ordinating Committee for the location of all utilities and
which also designated locations for tree planting. He advised
that the plans had now been completed and it would be possible
for the Horticultural Society to proceed with the Planting of
trees on the street. At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr.
Crowther thanked the Council on behalf of the group, for the
explanation and assistance given.
Mr. Wm. Booth was presept and advised Council that he would ]ike
to address them in respect to a problem which arose at a recent

Council had not yet received the Planning Board's report of the
meeting, and asked him to return to a future meeting after Council
had had time to study the matter.
Dr. Wm. Fingland was present at the meeting and addressed Council
on behalf of the Canadian Mental Health Association. He ex-
plained that the Association would like Council's permission to
hold a fund raising campaign in Stamford Township on May 30th
and 31st. The following resolution was then passed:

Mr. James Kennedy of 1316 Ferry Street addressed Council in
respect to securing permission to construct a portable sight-
seeing office and sign on Lundy's Lane across from Bestward's
Restaurant, for the purpose of conducting sightseeing tours for
tourists in the area. It was explained to Mr. Kennedy that this
area was in a Commercial (1) Zone and that his proposed operation
was not a permitted use in that zone. He was advised that an
application would have to be made to the Committee of Adjustment.
It was also brought to Mr. Kennedy's attention that a wooden
structure would be contrary to Twp. building by-laws, and that
in addition, he would have to have the permission of the Depart-
ment of Highways.

C.N.R. to use the lands he is leasing from them, for this type
of operation. Mr. Ostrander also advised that he had made appli-
cation to the Planning Board for the zoning change. In view of
the fact that Mr. Ostrander is complyinS with the requirements
set down by Council, he was granted permission to start flying
operations from his field.
Mr. Noble Benson was present at the meeting in respect to zoning
matters, and was advised by Council that the set-back requirement
he was asking about, was incorporated in the Consolidated Zoning
By-law which would be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board on
June 13th, 1961.
Mr. Peter Zabor of 764 portage Road was present in respect to a

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the summary presented by

study.
The City Clerk read the Co-ordinating Committee's Summary dated
May 25th, and a letter from H. G. Acres & Co. on the matter, dated
May 20th.
Mr. Argue of the Department of Highways explained that his Depart-
ment will subsidize 75% of the cost of the study in respect to
traffic movement, but will not subsidize any portion of the cost
for parking, etc. not related to traffic movement. Mr. McDonald
of H. G. Acres & Company stated that the cost of the study in
respect to parking would amount to approximately $2,000. to $2,500.
The need for the survey was then explained in detail by Mr. Burton
of Acres.
b~. Gray of the Parks Co~,ission stated that. his Commission had
received a letter from the Committee, and he advised that his
Commission has always been sympathetic to requests'submitted by

Mr. Hendershot, speaking on behalf of the Rainbow Bridge Commission
advised that he was not in a position to report on the matter, but
that it would be considered at the next meeting of the Commission.
Mr. Dowson stated that the total survey cost was $78,000. $2500.00
of this amount was not eligible for a Provincial grant, thus leav-
ing a balance of $75,500. The Department of Highways subsidy would
amount to $56,625. and if the Niagara Parks CommisSion and Rainbow
Bridge Commission do not participate in the cost, the remainder
of $21,375. would have to be split between the three Municipalities
on the following bas~s:
City of Niagara Falls - 60% - $12,825.

Mayor Miller chaired the meeting and requested the City Clerk to
read a report of the Chairman of the Merger Committee dated June
5th, as well as the minutes of the Merger Committee Meeting held
June 2nd. Both items dealt with the applications for annexation
submitted to the Ontario Municipal Board by the Councils of the
Municipalities of the City of Niagara Falls and the Township of
Stamford. After the Clerk read the reports, the Mayor requested
AldermanMartin to explain the revised proposals for annexation.
Alderman Martin, with the assistance of Engineer C. H. Eidt, and
referring to a blueprint prepared by the Consulting Engineeras
proceeded to explain the reasons requiring a revision of the
annexation application. He explained that the elevation in the
Thorold South area was such that the Consulting Engineers, the lead
Solicitor, and Mr. Deacon felt that the portion of the Township of
Thorold to be annexed should be just south of Upper Road. He also
stated that the adjusted portion of Willoughby to be annexed was
generally the portion serviced by municipal water from the Village
of Chippawa. After a discussion of the explanations the following
resolution was submitted:

A ~etter from the owner of ~he subdivision
indicated that he was only required to pay a maximum of $300.00
for each street light within the subdivision. The actual costs
for these street lights had been determined to be about $350.00
by the Commission. The subdivider contended the maximum of $300.00
was by agreement with the Stamford Public Utilities Commission and
he had a letter from the Commission to this effect. The agreements
entered into with the Township in respect to the subdivision called
for the subdivider paying the actual cost of services which in-
cluded street lights. The Township Solicitor stated that there
was a great deal of confliction between the agreements and the
letter from the Utilities Commission. It was finally decided that
a committee of the Reeve, Deputy-Reeve, Councillor MacBain, the
Solicitor, the Clerk, and Mr. Brownhill be appointed to meet with
Mr. Branscombe representing the developing firm, and determine if
some arrangements could be entered into to resolve the matter.
3. Application of Strategic-Udy Metallurgy Ltd. to extend the
private waterllne installed on Stanley Avenue by the Canadian
Carborundum Company was reviewed. It was determined that Council
should grant the Company permission to extend the private water-
line on Stanley Avenue and that Committee No. 5 be requested to
consider the eventual solution to the watermain problem on this
street and bring in a report to Council at a later date. A resolu-
tion to this effect was passed at the regular meeting of Council.
The Committee meeting then adjourned, and Council convened in open

Jacekowski
application
Mr. Theodore Jacekowski of 1988 Churches Lane was present
at the meeting in respect to his application for a Hawker &
Pedlar's License to sell fish in the Township. In speaking to
Council on his proposal, he advised that he intended to use his
residence for storage purposes. It was explained to Mr. Jacek-
owski that the zonin% 'in his area was residential, and as such,
would not permit the operation of a business. Mr. Jacekowski was
requested to call. at the Township Hall and the Clerk would tell
him where he could establish his business in the Township.

Carrie~.
A large group of residepts in the Dorchester Poad - OueeDsway
Gardens Subdivision Area attended the meet~?ng in opposition to
the establishment of the he]iport at the Citfes Earvice Station
on the Oueen Elizabeth Way. 7~r. Carl Youn% acted as spokesman {or
the group and presented a petition signe~ by 42 property owners.
He stated that he had attended the P]aDninfl Dosr~ T~eeting at which
time the application had been considered, and stated that since tl~e
owners wbo had been invited to express the~r opinion on the,matter'
did not include the homeo~.mers he represented~ tbat a fair picture
of the feeling to the heliport in the over-a]] area had not been
presented. Mr. Young also tabled a plan showing the existing homes
in the subdivision and 200 homes proposed for the future. He
advised that the helicopters come in for lap~n% on a north-east
angle of approach which was directly over the~;r homes. The Feeve
explained to the group that a license bad been ~ssued to Niagara
Helicopters Ltd. by the Department of Transport, wbich body did not
have to conform to any zoning regulations of a municipality in the
issuance of licenses. It was also stated that it would be most
unusual for a license to be canedlied .by the Department. Mr. Young
requested that Council ask the Dept. of Transport to have the
helicopter base re-located because of objections to the present
site. After hearing Mr, Young's request, the following resolu-
tion was submitted:

A letter from the City of Niagara Falls was considered ]n
respect to entering into an agreement with a Consultant in
connection with an Urban Renewal ']tudy which will include the
City of Niagara Falls, the Twp. of ~tamford, and the Village of
Chippawa, at a gross cost of $23,500.00. This letter was tabled
by Council at the previous meeting to secure additional informa-
tion in respect to the Traffic ~tudy. Certain members of Council
expressed the v~ew that the two studies should be carried on
simultaneously. Mr. Conroy Dowson, Planning Director for the
Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board was present and on
invitation spoke on the matter. He indicated that a very definite
relationship existed between the two studies and that both should
be carried out, but recommended that the Urhan ~enewa] qtudy be
not held up at this time since the Traffic Co-ordinating Committee
will. be re-considering the costs of the Traffic Survey and it was
hoped that some solution in this respect might be reached before
long. The Township Engineer also spoke to this matter and
stressed that both studies should be proceeded with for the
general benefit of the area. After considerable discussion on

The ~eeve stated that he had received several requests 7r
respect to the construction of garages in accordance with our
Fy-law No. 2530 and asked if any information had been secured
from The Ontario Municipal Board in respect to their approval
of this By-law. The Clerk advised that the Townsbip Solicitor
had written to the Board in connection with this matter, but
that to date a reply had not been-received. Council requests='
that the Board be contacted with an endeavour made to finalize
the approval of this By-law as soon as possible.
A letter was received from Mr. M. N. Ross relative to th~
blocking of a certain road leading to the lake Erie beach.
letter indicated that the Township road had been blocked to p
vent access to the beach and people desiring to use the beach
were forced to pay a fee to private owners of lands adjacent
the roadway to secure access to the Lake. In view of the fact
that the County Council is giving this particular problem som~
study, it was agreed to turn the matter ever to Reeve Mitchen~
in order that it might be discussed with Mr. Ross and a recomnl~n-
dation made concerning action Council might take.
The Reeve advised that he had a recent talk with Mr. A, r.
Ogilvie who ~s resigning from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation
Authority. Mr. Joseph Diminski had been suggested as a repla~'-
ment on the Authority by Mr. Ogilvie. CoUncillor Scott suggested
the name of Mr. Clare Johnston of Belmont Avenu~ as a replace-
ment. No action was taken in respect to a replacement, but n~.,!-
bets of Council were requested to give the matter some thought
in order that the matter might be resolved in the near future.
The Reeve advised that the special meeting had been cal~ed
for the purpose of considering proposals to carry out a com-
prehensive traffic survey of the Greater Niagara Area. He re-
minded Council that the initial proposal of H. G. Acres and
Company Ltd. to carry out a comprehensive survey involved a coqt
of $78,000.00. A letter from this Consulting Firm dated July
7th, and a letter from the Technical Co-ordinating Committee
July 10th in connection with a reduction of the cost of the s~r-
vey, were tabled. The letters revealed that ~he cost could bc
reduced to $54,000.00 by making certain changes. These changes
included the elimination of the screen line metho~ of conducting
origin-destination counts, and substituting in part for them, a
post-card type of survey to study the movements of local traffic.
In addition to this change, reduction of the number of d~awings
required could be reduced from approximatel.y 60 to 70 down to s
total of about 25. These changes would detract from the report
originally contemplated for the following reasons:
(a) A loss of accuracy in the collected traffic dana.

(b) A loss in the amount of valuable traffic data available

In addition to the detail included ~n the ]etter~ the
Engineer gave a verbal report on the matter wT~ch sug%ested that
the original proposal would be more acceptab]~ ap~] h,~nefic~'a]
than the revised plan. After a ~u]]. discussion of the
members of Council indicated that they were strongly 'in
of the original proposal costing $78,000.00, anal :t was decreed
to support this thinking at the joint meeting o,r th~ '~unlcLpa]
Councils of Niagara Fall s, Cbippawa and Stamford schedu]ed for

after the ".cave commenced tbe review, ~4ayer ui]l er w~s call.~
from the Chamber and ].eft the meeting. He requested Alderman
George Martin to take his place as Chairman.
Feeve ~%itchelson advised that he had suggested the meet-
ing as a result of certain action taken by the 'technical
Co-ordinsting Comm:~ttee at a me~ting he]~ ~r-day, .Tu]y 7th.
Th~s action resulted in an alternate proposal to ~arry out Separate
the survey and he advised that Stamford Council felt that pc session
rev~s~ong shoul~ be ~ntered into in respect to the survey un
it was ~reeahl~ by sl] three participatin% n~un~c3pal~t~es.
F~eve W~h[~an'reported that tbe original survey at the eat~ -
mated cost snggested of $32,000.00 had b~en accepted by his Stamford:
Counc~3 and they were agreeable to paying their mbare on

At the request of th~ Chairm~n, Conroy Dewson, S~cretar~
o{ the Technical Co-ordn;nat~ng Com~ittee, addressed the
~nB and reviewed the actions of the Committee. At the meeting Niag.Falls:
on July 7th, a resolution w~s passed to the effect that the
Committee recommended the edopt~on to the Joint Councils of
revised study costing $54,000.00 explained in the letter frozn Counts
H. G. Acres & Company Itd. ~ated Jn]y 7th. %.raile the members
of his Committee were generally in favour of the original pro-
posal snbm~tted by the Consulting Engineers costing $78,000.6q,
they felt it imperative that the transportation survey be undI'r- Adjourn.
'taken to resolve present and future traffic problems in the
Greater Niagara area, and it was imperative that the transpo~'-
tation survey be undertaken to resolve present and future tra~Uc
problems in the Greater Niagara area, and it was imperative
the resolution of consultant selection and financial particiF-
tion be expedited if the survey was to be undertaken in 1961,
particularly during the tourist season. For thls reason, the
Committce had suggested a revised study costing $54,000.00.
The reduced price was arrived at by making certain changes wh~c~
included the elimination of the screen line method of conduct~n5'I July 10, 1~6i.
origin--destination counts, and substituting in part for them,
a post-card type of survey to study the movements of local
traffic, as well as the reduction in the number of drawings
required for presentation of the data from approximately 60 ~e 37.
70 down to a total of about 25. He stated that the revised study
would detract from the report originally contemplated, for the P~esent
following reasons:
(a) A loss of accuracy in the collected traffic data.
(b) A loss in the amount of valuable trafficl data available
for future use, and

"THAT the Gardiner matter be re-opened for
the purpose of permitting Miss LaMarsh to
make certain submissions to Council but that
all submissions be made through the Solicito~
this motion to be carried must be unanimous."
Carried.
Miss LaMarsh then addressed Council on behalf of her client,
Dr. C. G. Gardiner. She mentioned the duties of members of
Council to vote but inferred that members should not vote if there
is any interest resolvable into a pecuniary profit. She advised
that certain inquiries had been made concerning the uses permitted
for this property but the Doctor only had 24 hours to submit a
tender. She suggested that the subdivision was used for
diversified industry and that the veterinarian hospital would be
in keeping with the general use. She stated that the residedts
adjacent to other veterinarian establishments had objected to
noise, odour and nuisances. Her client had made arrangements to
have any carcasses removed from the premises and this should
eliminate any nuisance and objections. Miss LaMarsh stressed
that the petitioners were complaining about something that is
anticipatory. After she spoke, several members of Council asked
Miss LaMarsh certain questions and at this point in the dis-
cussion the following resolution was submitted:

Mr. Jack Burnerr addressed Council on behalf of the residents
Kalar Road and Thorold Stone Road who had previous submitted
petitions to Council for the construction of watermains to
service their area. Mr. Burnett stated that tests had been made
of the water in some of the wells in the area and the results
indicated that there was 12 times as much iron in the water as is
considered fit for human consumption, and that the water was twice
as hard as is considered fit for human consumption. Mr. Burnett
Stated that their submission to Council, therefore, was that
because the chief objection to extending the main was concern
about the burden which would be placed on the farmers in the area,
that the Township should assume the cost to carry the watermain
past the farm lands. He suggested that the money thus expended
could be recovered when the land is developed in the future. He
stated that at the time the residents had first built they had
expected that it would be just a matter of time before their area
would be brought into the water system. Mr. Burnett added that
if Council did not help the home-owners they had no one else to
turn to. In speaking on the matter, Reeve Mitchelson stated that
the money that the petitioners were asking Council to assume would
be between $15,000.00 and $18,000.00 and that the matter presented
a difficult problem. He stated that tests should be made from ~.~,,!,
all the wells in the area, and that when the results were received, '.
Solicitor to give the matter further consideration.

Mr. Chas. Galloway appeared before Council on behalf of his
client, Mr. Nick Fedorowycz, in respect to rezoning property at
the corner of McLeod Road and Allanthus Avenue from Single Family
Residential to Tourist Commercial to permit the erection of an
eleven unit motel with a residence above. A report from the
Niagara Falls & Suburban Area Planning Board indicated that the
application be not approved by Council. Mr. Galloway submitted
the following reasons for the rezontng of the property:
1, The location of the property is one mile from the new
Seagram's Tower and the site of considerable tourist develop-
ment. McLeod Road is a heavily travelled east-west thorough-
fare with access to the Q.E.Way.
Items J, 8, were Filed. (ConrAd)
Item C was referred to the 8olicitor for a Report.

Property
2. Development along McLeod Road is tentatively slow and very
few homes have been built in this area in recent years and a
motel at this location would increase the value of adjoining
properties.
3. Sewer and water facilities are available and would not burden
the taxpayers or the Township.
4. The square footage of the lands involved is 9100 square feet.
His client proposes to allow 250 square feet for each unit
and 300 square feet for parking. For an eleven unit motel
this would mean approximately 6000 square feet leaving 3100
square feet for ample parking and landscaping.
After discussion of the matter by Council, the following resolu-.
tion was submitted and voted on:

Mr, Eidt
The Municipal Council met in Special Joint Session with the
Council of the City of Niagara Falls on Monday, September llth,
1961 at 9:00
Present from Township of Stamford:
Reeve E. E. Mitchelson,
Deputy-Reeve J. N. Allan,
Councillor S. Cotfield,
Councillor A. A. MacBain,
Councillor H. R. Potter,
Councillor W. G. Scott,
Councillor G. A. Sexsmith.
Present from City of Niagara Falls:
Mayor F. J. Miller,
Alderman Faho Martin,
Alderman George Martin,
Alderman A. J. McKinley,
Alderman H. Morton.
Mayor Miller chaired the meeting. He explained that the purpose
of the meeting was to consider land which would be required to
eventually establish a Joint sewage treatment plant. He then
requested Mr. Eidt, the Township engineer, to explain the
proposals in respect to the land required for the sewage treat-
ment site. By the use of blueprints. situated on an easel, the
Engineer showed the following lands:
(a)-Parcel designated as "1". comprised of approximately 19%
acres, located on the East side of Stanley Avenue in Part Twp.
Lots 57 and 59.
(b) Parcel designated as "5', immediately Co, the South of the
19% acre parcel described in (a) above, and being located on the
East side of Stanley Avenue.
(c) Parcel designated as "2" having an area of approximately 12
acres on the West side of Stanley Avenue opposite the two parcels
referred Co in (a) and (b).
Mr. Eidt explained that H. G. Acres and Company, the Consultants
employed by the t~o municipalities, considered that an additional
5 acres should be acquired for the sewage plant m provide suffic-
ient area for secondary treatment sometime in the future. He
advised that the Township is required by an agreement ~ith the
Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario to purchase the 12 acre
parcel on the West side of Stanley Avenue. This agreement was
entered into at the time the Township constructed a trunk sewer
through this property and erected a settling basin therein. He
'advised that the ~o municipalities were making arrangements to
buy the 19~ acre parcel Jointly, for a sewage plant site and
indicated that the additional 5 acres would have to be acquired
to the South of this parcel, or use the land the Township is
required to purchase, on the West side of Stanley Avenue,
Mter some discussion, the following resolution was submitted:

Land
Alderman Martin

Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ont. to
determine if arrangements can be made to
acquire the est. 5 acres of land immediately
south of the 19~ acre parcel on the East
side of Stanley Avenue, shown as item
on the blueprint."
Before voting on the above resolution, members of the Township
Council retired in separate SessiOn and discussed the matter.
When the motion was put in open session, it was carried
unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Mr. Paul Ostrander was present at the meeting in respect to
the proposed expansion of his helicopter business. He stated that
he wished to conduct flying training, and for this reason had made

7 license also permits several other flying operations, besides
flying training, and this could have resulted in the idea that
the proposed expansion c~businesa 'was on a larger 2¢ale tha~ it
is actually intended by Mr. Ostrander. Mr. Ostrander further
s~a.ted that the flying training would only be conducted over the
old dump property and the NPC Golf Course. After consideration

cation in the'population centre of the area, and as a replacement
for the Poplar Park site which once had been used exclusively for
youth activi~ies. In concludinS, the Association requested Council

The Mayor explained that the purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the comprehensive sewage disposal system report prepared by
1t. G. Acres & Company Ltd. for the Corporationst of the City of
Niagara Falls and the Township of Stamford. He indicated that a
Joint Committee of the 2 Councils had considered the report and the
requested Alderman George Martin to present the report of that
Committee.
Alderman Martin reviewed the recommendations adopted by the
Joint Sewage Committee on September 15th. He suggested that the
plant should be operated by the 2municipalities and that the funds
required to finance the plant should be secured through the Central
Mortgage & Housing Corporation. He also referred to the schedule
in a letter from H. G. Acres & Company Ltd. dated September 21st,
1961 which indicated the time element to proceed with the work.
During his presentation of the report, Mr. MacKenzie of the
Engineering Firm clarified certain alternative schemes mentioned in
the Report and explained why ~4 had been recommended.
Mr. Orr also spoke on the matter and suggested that for
Falls, 100% of the capital charges should be charged to Real Prop-
erty Taxes, and 100% of the operation costs should be charged to
water users. Some discussion took place relative to the operating
costs being charged to residential, commercial and industrial
users. It was considered that this would require a study to establ
appropriate rates. Mr. Orr a%so reported that the Committee had

signed by 33 owners in the Brookfield Avenue area south of Lundy's
Lane, protesting against the establishment of Trailer Camp facilitie~
by 3ohn Nagy at 3104 Lundy's Lane. Mr. A. C. Knapp of 2063 BrookfieZ
Ave. acted as spokesman for the group and stated that the residents
had been very upset when they learned about Mr. Nagy's proposal.
In addition to the fact that the present establishment encroaches
on a residential area and that more cabins had been moved into the
area lately, he also stated that the vacant property had been
maintained in a deplorable condition. He stated that the Brookfield
Ave. area was one of the best residential areas in Stamford and
Niagara Falls and termed the proposed Trailer camp as down-grading.
It was explained to Mr. Knapp that the matter was under considerat-
ion by'Committee 4 of Council and that it would be further consid-
ered by Committee No. 2 at the next meeting on Oct. 13th, at which

A delegation was present at the meeting in respect to a
petition signed by 19 owners requesting the installation of
watermains in the Mountain-Montrose Road area of the Township.
Mr. Patrick Cain acted as spokesman for the group and stated
that he had been informed when he first built that there would
be water in the area within 2 to 5 years. He stated that the
watermain would assist in further development of the area and
also provide fire protection. In response to the question of
cost, the Engineer advised that approximately 8,000 feet of 8'I
main would be needed to extend the main to the area requested,
at a cost of nearly $50,000.00. Mr. Cain stated that there was
no shortage of water at the present time but that the motels did
draw sulphur and this was not good for business. In discussing
the matter, members of Council decided that it should be consid-
ered by Committee No, 5 and Mr. Cain was advised that he would
be notified when the matter would be considered by the Committee.
At this point in the meeting the Reeve arrived and resumed his
Chair.
Mr. Harvey Haid of 2746 Culp St. addressed the Council in
respect to the fencing at the A. G. Bridge Park which is adjac-
ent to his property. He advised that he was constantly being
bothered by bottles, balls, missiles, etc. coming over into his
yard, and that the boys in an effort to retrieve the articles
would climb over the fence into his yard. He requested that three
strands of barbed wire be placed on the top of the existing fence
in order to curb the nuisance to his property. Mr. Haid was
advised that the matter would be considered by Committee No. 5
at its next meeting.
Mr. Alex McCallum of the Stamford Legion, Branch 479 was pres-
ent at the meeting and requested permission of Council to con-
duct the annual Poppy Tag Day on November 10th and llth. He also
confirmed that the Legion will be appointing a committee to set

present at the Council Meeting in respect to their request for
approval of a debenture issue of $307,000. for the extensi~n and'
equipping of Stamford Collegiate Institute. The Board members
explained that the original request had been for a debenture issue
of $900,000, but this figure had been reduced down to an amount of
$307,000. even though the total cost of the project is $1,572,579.
They stated that the original plans were revised and'enlarged to
meet the new specifications drawn up by the Dept. of Education
the special Federal-Provincial vocational building arrangements.
Under these regulations, all areas approved for vocational purpose
are paid for in full, on the basis of 75% Federal and 25% Provinc~
Since much of the original proposal was for vocational purposes,
Board was able to reduce the request for debenture issue b7 $593,0I

the project."
Carried.
Before the Board Members retired from the meeting, the Clerk
read a letter which had been received from the Dept. of Educa-
tion in respect to a proposal to alleviate the unemployment sit-
uation by assisting municipalities to begin a training programme
for the unemployed. In speaking on the matter, Mr. McLeod ad-
vised that the Board had information on the suggested programme
but had no facilities for undertaking such a project. He stated
that the matter had not yet been considered by the Board, but it
could possibly be considered in the course of a year when facil-
ities would be available. Upon conclusion of this matter, the
Reeve expressed the appreciation of Council to the Board represen-
tatives for attending the meeting.
Messrs. Stewart and DeMarco, 2 of the 4 persons objecting to
the proposed sidewalk construction on Weaver Avenue and Caledonia
Street were present at the meeting on the invitation of Council.
The Clerk explained the details leading up to Council's invitation
viz. - that a petition had been received from 22 residents on
Weaver Avenue requesting that a sidewalk be constructed, and that
a Hearing would be held by The Ontario Municipal Board on Nov. 20th
unless the objections were withdrawn°

Mr. H. A. Stewart stated that he did not object to sidewalks on "~
Weaver Avenue, but rather, preferred a curb-faced sidewalk. He
then asked the Engineer to explain why curb-faced sidewalks could
not be constructed. In replying, the Engineer Save the fellowins
reasons:

(b)
He advise~ that curb-faced sidewalk .

also advised that he would contact Mr. Huhndorf and Mr. Towne, the
other objectors, add have them sign letters withdrawing their
objections. He also advised that he thought he could get Mr.

Mr. Luigi Giamottola, the operator of the Trailer Camp on
Mewburn Road, addressed the Council in respect to the routes of
the school buses· He apparently had received complaints from
persons living in his camp concerning the present route· Mr.
Giamottola was advised that this matter was under the jurisdic-
tion of the Board of Education and he should contact that office
in this matter·
Mr. A. Sheppard of the Legal Firm of Martin, Calvert, Bates
& Sheppard artended the Council Meeting in respect to the trans-
fer of a parcel of property from his clients, the Hydro-Electric
Power Commission of Ontario to the Bolus interests· He referred
to a letter from the Planning Board which stated that the appli-
cation was approved subject to the grants in lieu of taxes on the
above property being paid in full to the end of the current year
by the Hydro. Mr. Sheppard asked that this provision be removed
in view of the fact that Hydro does not pay taxes in the usual way,
and stated that a large portion of the grant had already been paid.
In speaking on the matter, the Clerk advised that all that ~Duld b~'
required was a letter from the Hydro advising that they would be
responsible for the grant in lieu of taxes on the property involvet
up to the date of the sale, The Clerk explained that if an enquir..
was received as to the tax situation on the property, that the
Township would have to indicate that the grant was unpaid, During
the discussion on the matter by members of the Council it was
felt that the Township should co-operate in this matter with the
Hydro in line with co-operation received from them in recent
matters, and the following resolution was submitted and passed:

Mr. Gordon H. Bates of the Legal Firm of Martin, Calvert,
Bates & Shoppard was present at the meeting on behalf of his client
the Charles Kerrio Estate and Mr. John Newman, ~he owner and the
tenant of property south of Arthur Street and West of Stanley Avenu
and addressed the Council in respect to the scheduled third reading
of By-law No. 2674, being a By-law to close a portion of King Ave~
for vehicular traffic. Mr. Bates stated that Mr. Kerrio's Deed in-
cluded an entrance way to his property from Arthur Street but that
the owner of the Hamill Machine Co. had a right-of-way over the
entrance. Because of this reason, Mr. Kerrio had made subsequent
purchases of land by Deeds dated July 16th, 1958, and Nov. 26th,195
for the purpose of acquiring access to his property via King Avenue
which Council now proposed to close. He stated that the rights of
owner should be observed, and that the question of the entrance way
was vital to the proper use of the property involved.
Mr. John B. Hopkins St. was present at the meeting and also
addressed the Council in respect to this matter. He'advised that
he was the Mar of certain lots on Arthur Street, including Lot
111, Rag. Plan 75, situated at the comer of King Ave. and Arthur
Street, and stated that he would be deprived of a good building 10%
if the portion of King Avenue was closed up. He also advised that
prospective tenants of any house constructed ~Duld be deprived of
access to any garage that might be built on the corner lot. In
speaking further on the matter, Mr. Hopkins mentioned that there
were no services in this particular area, and stated that it shoul~
not be too difficult for the TOwnship to extend the services to M!
property.

After hearing Mr. Bates and Mr. Hopkins,
cussed by Council. It was mentioned that the matter had
initially been given considerable study by Committee No. 4 of
Council before they had arrived at the decision to close the
portion of King Avenue. Other factors were also mentioned as
to why the By-law should be given the third reading, i.e.-
closeness of the Park property and residential property to the
the
Kerrio lands, and the fact that there was an existing entrance-
way to the Kerrio lands. It was also stated that consideration
should be given to every presentation made by Township citizens,
and it was suggested that the matter should be referred back to
Connn. No. 4 for further study, and that Mr. Bates be requested
to present his submissions in writing to assist the Committee.
The following resolution was then submitted, with a recorded vote

Mr. Grant Carton, a salesman of the Acme Neon Sign Co. was
present at the meeting and explained that he had sold a sign to
the Fails View Hotel, but had not been able to secure a permit
for the erection thereof.. 'He remarked that he had received a
letter from the Twp. Clerk under date of Sept. 7th, explaining
that a By-law regulating signs was under consideration by the
Township. Mr. Carton asked if any further developments had taken
place since the date of the letter. The Reeve advised him that
the matter was still under study by a Council Committee, and that
he would be advised when the By-law was finally passed.

Messrs. Edd Masters and Don Murie, President and Chairman of the
Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce were present at the meeting
to clarify the picture with respect to water diversion in the
Niagara River. Mr. Masters acted as spokesman and stated that
some misinformation had been published in the Press on th.e mates
He then reviewed in detail the pertinent facts in the matters
also referring to a letter ~rom the International Joint Commiss~
dated Nov. 14th concerning the question of possible reductions
of the flow over Niagara Falls below that now permitted under the
1950 Niagara Treaty. Mr. Masters advised that the International
Joint Commission would come to Niagara Falls in January and
February to view the flow over the Falls, and that an explanatory
Hearing would be held in 1962 and a General Hearing in 1963. He
stated that the Chamber had set up a committee on the matter and
would be asking the area Councils to appoint representatives to
this Committee, which would report to the Councils and would work
closely with the International Joint Commission. Mr. Masters
stated that he felt it was advisable that the matter should now
be played down, since the results hoped for had been achieved,
and that certain bodies had been stirred to interest. After
hearing Mr. Masters, the Reeve left his chair in order to speak
on the matter. He indicated that all the facts outlined by Mr.
Masters had been known to the Council at the time he was appointed
to attend the Hearing in August, and that Council had known that
the l{earing in respect to the remedial works had nothing to do
with further diversion of water. He advised that Council had
taken the trouble to get the engineering facts on the matter. He
stated that Council was also aware that the study which had
caused the publicity was to come, and that they also knew that
the request had been made by the Governments to the International
Joint Commission, to undertake the study to determine whether it
was possible to have further water diversion. He stated that at
the Hearing it had been pointed out that the people in the area
could voice their objections at the General Hearing, He advised
that the Council had come to the conclusion .that if the Joint
Councils were interested in objecting to further diversion that the
place would be at the International Joint Commission Hearing, and
that the Council were convinced that it would be necessary to have
technical advice to present to the Commission in order to present
a solid case. At the conclusion of his remarks, the Reeve resumed
his Chair. Considerable discussion then took place on the matter
~.by the members of Council, and further questions on the matter were
also answered by Mr. Masters, and, the following resolution was
then submitted and passed:
7. MacBain
· Cor~ield "T~T this Council go on record as supporting the
Chamber~s recommendation that a special committee
be organized early in 1962 but that we reiterate
because of the utmost importance of the matter
to the area, that we are still of the opinion
that the new committee, immediately upon being
organized, should give careful consideration to
the necessity and addsability of retaining a
consulting firm to prepare a technical brief if
it becomes evident to the Committee that there
is some real possibility that the Internationa~
Joint Co~ission may be prevailed upon to permit
further. water diversion ." '

'Alderman George Martin, Chairman of the Joint Committee, re-
ferred to separation of costs and was of the opinion that this
was important, also the hiring of a supervisor for the plant. Th
Alderman stated that Councils should discuss ~nd approve of these
items in order that the Plant could proceed as soon as possible
after the first of the year.
The Deputy Clerk then read the minutes in full, following
which His Worship the Mayor asked for any comments.
In connection with the resolution that the Joint pollution
Control Committee recommended to the Joint Councils, that the
plant be called "The Stamford-Niagara pollution Control plant ~o.
1" - Reeve Mitchelson, following indication by his CounCil, advi~
that the Township Council unanimously consent@d. The Niagara Fal
City Countilkwere also in fayour.
Alderman George Martin then suggested that the City HandgaY
and the Township Engineer might offer e~planations in connection
with general principles of financing as contained in the Joint
· Committee's report,
Mr. Orr~ the City Manager~ proceeded in some detail to out-
line the recommendation of the Joint Committee and indicated thai
the capital costs will be levied against the entire land and bui
ins as.sessment of the two municipalities except those outside th
sewer area, and as areas are added then the assessment would be
spread over those particular areas. He advised that the opera~i'
costs would be chargeable t~ water consumers, with special ad]us
meats in cases where water used by industry does not require sew
tment. A rogramwill have to be wor~ed out and a tentati~e

In connection with the suggestion of the Joint Com-
mittee to the effect that costs for the treatment plant,
both capital and operating, be appropriated in accordance
with use, which will be calculated on the basis of measured
flows. After debentures are issued, the municipalities
would adjust the amount of payment between themselves on an
annual basis. If the use of one municipality increased, this
difference would be paid to the other, to cover their deben-
ture cost - the City Manager advised that the capital cost
debentures will have to be allocated - a certain percentage
by the Township and a certain percentage by the City - some-
thing like the formula used in connection with the Hospital
Debt Charges. Such charges would be based on measured flow
and the municipality using the facilities the greatest should
pay the greater share. This should apply to operating charges
also. He referred to those customers who would not be gettin~
any particular benefit from the Sewage Treatment Plant and was
of the opinion that some adjustment would have to be made.
Mr. Eidt, the Township Engineer, concurred with the City
Manager's statements advising that discussions had been held
at the recent Canadian Institute on Sewage and Sanitation Con-
vention and it was the concensus of opinion that this plan of
financing was the fairest.
Councillor MacBain stated that he was in favour of the
principle of the report but felt that some form of control
should be considered to safeguard the Township in the event of
phenomenal growth in the future. Ald. Geo. Martin was of the
opinion that Councillor MacBain's suggestion could be well taken
by the Joint Committee and that some formula could be worked out
and before anything is done ~n this regard, it would be brought
back to the Joint Councils for approval.
The suggestions contained in the Joint Committee's report
that the Township finance its interceptor sewer and the City
finance its interceptor sewer and that application for appro-
val of the Ontario Municipal Board to cover the Engineering
costs of the Plant, as soon as practical, were agreeable to
%he Joint Councils.
In connection with the advertising for a supervisor for
the Sewage Treatment Plant, His Worship Mayor Miller queried
the conmencement for the erection of the Plant~ and was advised
that it would be early in 1962.
Ald. George Martin then proceeded to advise of the pro-
cedure followed in hiring at the Filtration Plant and stated
that the person who would actually operate the Plant should be
hired during construction and work with the Engineer and then
be able to take over when the Plant is completed.
Ald. McKinley commented, advising that at the Filtration
Plant ~here was a resident engineer placed there by H. G.
Acres and Co. and when the Plant was completed the suggestion
was accepted that he be hired because he would be needed when
the Sewage Treatmen~ Plant was in operation. The Alderman
desired to know if there is to be an advertisement. why does
the City have to retain the Assistant Engineer position at the
Filtration Plant.
The City Manager advised that it was the intention to use
his services at the Sewage Treatment Plant but not as a super-
visor. He stated chaC it was felt that an Engineer would cer-
tainly be necessary. to supervise both the ~ater Filtration FlanC
Resident
Engineer
Cont'd
and the Sewage Treatment Plant in the future. The Assistant
Engineer was hired at the Filtration plant so that he would
have knowledge of the Water Department, because eventually he
would take over this position when the Superintendent retired.
Following further discussion, Ald. Geo. Martin was of the
opinion that this was strictly a city problem and could not see
any reason for the Joint Committee bringing it up but if they
were so instructed then they would consider it and it was agreed
that the Joint Committee would consider this matter and before
any hiring is done, the matter will be brought back to the Joint
Councils.
RESOLUTION
The following Resolution was passed:
No. 125 - J. G. White - Sexsmith - RESOLVED that the Council of
the City df Niagara Falls and the Council of the Township of Stam-
ford adopt in principle the report of the Joint pollution Control
Committee, dated Nov. 24th, 1961; and the Seal of the Corporation
be hereto affixed.
Carried Unanimously.
Discussion took place regarding the installation of an
elevator and Ald. G. Martin explained that the Committee felt that
it was important to have an elevator due to the distance from the
basement to the first floor and the considerable amount of stair
climbing involved to carry out daily inspections of the wet well ~
although it would be an added expenditure, at this point of the
plan~ing and construction it would be much cheaper than to take
care of it at a later date. The City Manager estimated that the
elevator proposed would cost from $20,000. to $25,000.
The discussions having concluded His Worship Mayor Miller
expressed appreciation to Reeve Mitchelson and the Tewpship Counci
and the Reeve in tun thanked the Mayor.
The Township Council then retired and the joint meeting
!i,~ adjourned on the motion of Ald. White and Ald. Swayze.

Mr. John Broderick was present at the meeting, along with
his clients, Mr. & Mrs. N. Poohack, concerning the zoning of their
property located on the West side of Drummond Road just north of
Valley Way. Mr. Broderick mentioned that his clients' property
had been re-zoned under By-law No. 2581 (an amendment to By-law
No. 2530) but that this By-law indicated that only part of the
property was designated as Neighbourhood Commercial and not the Storm
whole area as intended, and therefore his clients would only be Relief
able to build on approximately 40% of the property involved. Mr. Mains
Broderlck requested that By-law No. 2581 be amended to allow the
whole area to be designated as Neighbourhood Commercial and not
just the small strip at the rear. During the discussion of the
matter, it was mentioned that it had been the intention of the
Planning Board to re-zone the whole parcel as Neighbourhood Com-
mercial, but that the draftmanship had not carried out this
thinking. After further consideration it was agreed that the
matter should be referred back to the Planning Board for clarifi-
cation. Godfrey
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Calvin J. Bessey addressed Shrimpton
the Council and presented the Township Clerk with a coffee table
he had made. Mr. Bessey mentioned that the wood used for the
table had come from a walnut tree which had been cut down in 1836
when ground was cleared for the construction of a house near the
Thorold-Stamford Towl~Line. In accepting Mr. Bessey's gift, Mr.
Huggins expressed his appreciation on behalf of himself and Mrs.
Huggins.
On motion of Councillor Potter, seconded~by Councillor Scott
the Council then adjourned to go into Committee of the Whole to
consider the matter of the reinstatement of the Vete Lodging House
License. Councillor MacBain explained that a special meeting had
been called to consider the matter, with Mrs. Vete and Mr. Hartley
in attendance. He stated that Mrs. Vete would not agree to signin
a written undertaking but finally, had verbally agreed to adhere bxing
to the-Township By-law and the conditions outlined in an earlier
letter to her from the Clerk. Councillor MacBain stated that the
Committee felt that Mrs. Vete should be given another chance, and
therefore, recommended that her license be reinstated for the bal-
ance of the year. During the general discussion which followed,
some members of Council felt that the agreement with Mrs. Vete sh0
be in writing, and also, that the premises should be inspected by
the Township Fire Inspector before the license was reinstated.
fo11~ving resolution was then submitted:

After adjournment of the above meeting Council went into Committee
of the Whole and dealt with the following items:
1. In response to a question raised by Council at its 'last meet-
ing, Mr. A. J. Bradley, the Building Inspector, advised that the
value of the permit issued for the new Zeller's Store on Lundy's
Lane for the amount of $110,000.00 only included the building
proper and did not include the value of plumbing, heating, wiring,
etc. He indicated that these additional costs would increase the LJ.Burne11
value of the building considerably over the amount shown in the
Building Report. The report~as accepted by Council as satisfac'
tory.
2. The BUilding Inspector and Engineer then gave a general report
in connection with the const~uction and fire at the Seagram Tower.
The ~ials indicated that a careful check is, and will be made
res~e~t tO all of the Tower to in~ that it is
S.ound, and erected in the beet,
principles. They indicated that the Firm of Morrison, Hersh~ield,
Millman and Huggins had been engaged as Consulting En%ineers by
the owners of the Tower to carry out and supervise the engineering
and design and erection of the structure. They ~rther added tbat
this particular Firm are experts in this line of enZineering and
are recognized as such throughout Canada and North America. ID
addition to the Engineering Consultants named, it was indicated
that H. G. Acres & Company have also been engaged to verify the
findings of the other Company. Both Officials advised that the
building is plumb in respect to its perpendicular dimension, and
that the only effect that the fire had on the structure was that it
was necessary to remove the second floor at the top of the struc-
ture as the fire damaged freshly poured concrete. The fire did not
damage the first floor. Some members of Council indicated that
they were concerned about the structure and its erection. After
hearing the report of the Officials, the Councillors iDdicated thgt
they appreciated that the erection of the Seagram Tower was under
close inspection by the Township Officials and recognized Consult-
ing Engineers. It was requested that Morrison, Hershfield, Millman
and Huggins, the Consulting Engineers, submit regular reports in
respect to the progress of the construction to the Building Inspec-
tor, at regular intervals.
3. Council considered a letter from Miss J. V. LaMarsh wherein
she advised that the Solicitor for the River Realty Development
Ltd. had suggested that members of Council meet with Mr. Brans-
combs of the River Realty Development Ltd., for the purpose of
discussing a possible compromise in the matter of the second part
of the Town & Country Subdivision which has been the subject of a
hearing and a decision rendered by the Ontario Municipal Board,
together with an appeal for a re-hearing of the evidence before
the Board, which had been granted. The matter of meeting with Mr.
Branscembe on a "without prejudice basis" was considered at some
length and all members of Council expressed their opinions in re-
spect to the proposed meeting. Finally, the following resolution
was submitted and passed:
MacBain
Scott
"THAT Miss LaMarsh be advised that Council is
prepared to meet with Mr. Branscombe of the

for an explanation as to why this Road had not been sanded,
since it appeared to be in such a hazardous condition. In

country roads are usually not sanded, and also the fact that the

Mr. D. S. Walker of Walker Bros. Quarries was present at
the meeting in respect to the matter of the proposed abandonment
by the Canadian National Railways of the spur line which services
his Quarry. The Reeve reviewed the facts of the matter, explaining ,
that a Hearing had been held by the Board of Transport Commissioners..
in Ottawa on Dec. 19th, at which time the Township had forwarded
a telegram protesting the proposed abandonment. A subsequent tele-
gram had then been received from the Board advising that the Hear-
ing had been postponed until January 4th at 10 a.m. for the purpose
of hearing any further evidence from interested parties. The
Reeve also mentioned that the matter had been taken up at the
County Council Meeting, the Planning Board, and the Thorold Town-
ship Council, as well as at a special meeting of the Township
Council. In speaking on the matter, Mr. Walker stated the Railway
had served his Quarry for the past65 years and that he was shocked
when he found out that the services were to be discontinued. In
answer to a question~ Mr. Walker stated that the reason for the
abandonment was that the Seaway Authorities propose certain con-
struction and would be discontinuing the C.N.R. right-of-way over
the property. He stated that the presen~ line is over 200 feet of

trestle, but it would have to be routed over 600 feet of trestle
because of the Seaway plans. The new trestle required, would be
very expensive and for this reason the Railway was simply advis-
ing Walker Bros. that they would not be able to serve them any more.
Mr. Walker stated that if the present service was discontinued his
Company would have to haul their material for approximately one-half
a mile, and would also have to put in a Railway siding at a cost of
approximately $40,000.00, and that this would be an uneconomical
operation. Mr. Walker added that it was his hope that the Munici-
palities would come to the assistance of his Company, and advise
the Board of Transport Commissioners that the present Railway ser-
vices are needed for the future industrial development of the North-
west corner of the Township. After hearing Mr. Walker, Reeve Mitch-
elson advised that a Committee of the County Council would meet with
Stamford Township representatives and the %k~p. Solicitor, and invited
Mr. Walker to attend the meeting which would be held on Friday, Dec.
29th at 2 p.m. Mr. Mitchelson suggested that the Board should be
asked to delay the Hearing further, and if possible, conduct it in
this area, and that a brief on the matter could be prepared for
presentation to the Board. The following resolution was submitted
and passed in this connection:
