For this, I am most grateful. I will continue to respect the Mayor's Office and will continue to carry on eduties of your Mayor with all the dignity expected of this high office, as I have ied to do in the past three years. I will continue to serve you to the best of my ilky, irrespective of your race, colour, creed, or political party affiliations, and continue to share the honours with my fellow members of council as much as possible. The year 1962 begins with the re-election of three aldermen and one new member. Aldermen Morton, Alderman Swayze and Alderman McKinley, I extend my congratulations You on your victory. I would also like to extend to you, Alderman Gregory~ although 4need no introduction, having served on council for two and one-half years, my "&ratulations on your being elected to serve on council for the year1962. To Alderman White, AIderman George Martin and Alderman Faho Martin, you have ~ther year to serve and will, I am sure, continue, as you have in the past, to intsCer the affairs of this municipality in a'sincere and honest manner along with other four members of COuncil. To Mr. Ian McCallum, I would like to extend my thanks for the work and jP0rt he gave to council during the past three years. I would, at this time, like to extend to Miss Judy LaMarsh, M.P. and Mr. qe lukator, M.L.A. our very best wishes for continued good health, with the sincere ~ethat co-operation, as has been given in ~he past. will continue in the best interests the City o£ Niagara Falls. As I said last year, we are most grateful to the Federal Government for the new unemployment office and for its central location to serve the people of the Greater Niagara Area. I would like to indicate my desire, at this point, to co- operate with our Federal Hemher in urging the Federal Government to commence construction of thenew Post Office at the North End of the City and also one at the South End of the City. I have suggested one at the South End for some time where again it could serve the people of the Greater Niagara Area. It is my understanding that the reason the Unemployment Office was sac back so far from Main Street was to leave room for the Post Office on this site. These two projects could create some winter work. It is my pleasure, at this time, to welcome Reeve Hitchelson, all Public Officials, the appointed representatives and the citizens gathered here this morning at our 1962 Inaugural Meeting and to extend to the Library Board, Police Commission, Board of Health, Hospital Board, Hospital Auxiliaries, Hydra Commission, Chamber of Cannaarcs, Niagara Development Association, Members of the United Appeal, Minor Hockey and Baseball Associations, and to any other group that I may have missed, my wishes for a happy and prosperous new year, with the request for continuance of the co-operation which has been given to this council in past years. Thanks should also be extended to Mr. W. S. Orr, O.B.E., City Manager; Mr. Clancy Patten, City Clerk; Mr. Scan Price, City Engineer; Mr. Harold Dickson, Treasurer; Mr. Ralph Zimmerman, Assessor; Miss Hands Henderson, Tax Collector; the heads of departments, and all employees for their co-operation with council in the past and I feel confident that the friendly relationship will continue. At this point, I wo~ld like to mention especially Miss Margaret Mallerr, our Deputy Clerk and the City Hall Staff for a job well done during the absence of our City Clerk. I am sure the Aldermen will agree that this friendly relationship and co-operation which exists amongst all city employees is most helpful in administering the a££airs of the city. I would like to extend my thanks to Chief Cecil Pay and the personnel of the Police Department for the splendid work they did in 1961, in the solving of many crimes and the apprehension of many undesirable people. My thanks also to Sergeant Dave CaChetreed and the many men who are giving hours of free time to the Traffic Clinic and other endearours for the benefit of the public. In the untimely passing this year of our Deputy Chief of Police, the late Norman Byers, the Police Department lost one who was well liked and highly respected, not only by the men on the Force, but also by the general public. To Mrs. Byers and family, we extend our deepest sympathy. I would like to thank Chief William Wade and the personnel of the Fire Department for the splendid work done during 1961, and to the many men of the Department my thanks for again giving of their time in the teaching of fire prevention to the public and for giving lectures at the Fublic and Separate Schools. My thanks to Local 133, and to any other branch of the municipality thac I may have omitted, for the protection and services the citizens have received in the past, and my congratulations go out also to all citizens and places of business for their continued confidence in the City of Niagara Falls. Repeating my remarks £ros my last two inaugural addresses, I would again bring to the attention of Council the possibility of developing free parking areas at the South, Centre and North End of our Business Sections in order to help our merchants compete against the keen competition they are receiving from outside areas. We have a few empty stores in the City and I feel, with proper parking facilities, we can get the business back. This has been proven in a large city in the United States. From all indications, I am still of the opinion that Niagara Falls and the Greater Niagara Area are heading for a great boom in the not twoo distant future. During the year 1961, the industrial con~ittee report of the Chamber of Consnerce shows that six new industries started full production in the area and that nine industries already located here have made large expansions. This also means increasing employment and assessments. This is further supported by the announcement from the Greater Niagara Chamber of Conferee Industrial Conmuittee that Dew Coming Silicones Limited,are locating in the Greater Niagara Area on a 156 acre site. Whe~ fully developed, it will represent a multi-million dollar project and although no located in the city, we will certainly feel the results through our places of During December last, four more employees, namely Constable Tax NcEwan, Deputy Fire Chief Robert Thoums, Fireman Harold Didemus and City Janitor Charles Hicks, received pins for 25 years~ service, This makes a total of thirty employees yho have received pins since the inception three years e$oo I would like to congratulate these people for their many years of faithful service to ~he City o~ Niagara ~alls, to the taxpayers and ~o ~he citizens as a whole. This year, we have lost two valuable employees by retirement, namely Mr. Stanley Sills and Mr. Henry Durliat. Mr. Sills, Superintendent of the Electrical Department, has resigned after serving the city for 41 and 1/2 years in that department. Mr. Durliat has also resigned after serving the city in the Water Department for 27 and 1/2 years. To these two men, I wish many years of good health in order that they ~y enjoy their retirement as a reward for their faithfulness to the city and the itizens of Niagara Falls. During the fall of 1960, a Commission comprising Mr. J. McKenzie, Mr. E. 'es and Reeve E. E. Mitchelson, from the Township of Stamford, and Mr. J. Hears, Mr. George Mowers and myself, was set up to operate the Greater Niagara Tran~ t System. The personnel of the Commission has remained the same and I would say that these men deserve a lot of credit for the very able and efficient manner in which they operate ~he Transit System. Passengers carried from January 1st. to November 30th, 1960 numbered 1,186,387 and from January 1st. to November 30th, 1961 - 1,141,619 or a decrease of 3.77 percent. Average decrease on other properties in Ontario was 8.0G percent. Of the other properties comparable to the size of Niagara Falls, we are the' lowest in cost per mile of operation. Our estimated deficit for the year t96~ will he approximately $26,400.00 which is $6,000.00 less than incurred by the N.S. & T. Railway in 1958. Of this $26,400.00, an amount of $16,659.00 has been set aside for depreciation on busses, which actually leaves a deficit of $9,741.00. On November 1st. last, a two-year contract was signed with the Union granting a reduction in hours per week and an increase in the hourly rate. This is the first step on the part of the Commssion in an endeavour to bring the working conditions of your Bus Operators in line with other municipal employees. Last year, I wrote the Secretary of State in Washington requesting ~nformation as to their intentions regarding the 2.25 acres owned by the United States Government. This property has'been sitting there for approximately fifteen years tax free. I felt, with the moving of the American Consulate out of Niagara Falls,we should be getting taxes for the municipality on this valuable site. I have since been informed that tenders have been called and the property will be sold. In the current Budget of 1961, we had to raise $680,755.23 for debenture payments. In 1962, we will have to raise $761,265.12. This is an increase of $80,509.89. of A Winter Works Program was carried out in the winter of 1960-1961 consisting the construction of sewers and watermains. The watermains were; An S-inch main on North Street from Stanley to Buchanan A 6-inch main on each side of Robert Street from MacDonald to west city limits 'A 6-inch main on Welland Avenue from Ferguson to Leader Lane A 6-inch main on Spring Street fremMcGrail to Slater Avenue A 6-inch main on Muir Avenue from Ferguson to Leader Lane TOTAL $4,075.00 $7,250.00 $4,550.00 $2,125.00 $5,000.00 $23,000.00 sewers constructed were: Simcoe Street - St. Lawence to Welland * 12-inch Ryerson Crescent - 202' E. of St.Lawence to 400' N. of St.Law. Clifton Avenue ~ Park to Morrison - 27-inch and 24-inch City Market = 12 -inch Bucklay Avenue * Morrison to Simcoe - 18-inch and 15-inch gimcoe Street - Buckley to 210~W. of Buckley; 15-inch Crawford Place ~ Bucklay to 290'W.of Bucklay; 12-inch TOTAL $6,900.00 $13,350.OO $27,200.00 $3,100.00 $12,850.00 $3,880.00 ~4~610.00 $71,890,00 The pavement re-surfacing program in 1961 cost approximately $105,000. vhieh the City~s share was $78,600.00. included; Ryerson Crescent - Victoria to Palmet $imcoe Street * Welland to St. Lawrence Jspson Street - Victoria to Second Jepson Street - Second to Fourth ~elland Avenue - Queen to Morrison Ottawa Avenue - NcRae St. to Stamford Erie Avenue - Bridge to Queen ~ain Street - Lundy,s Lane to Robinson $39,730.00 $ 9,630.00 $ 11,100.00 $ 6,780.00 $ 6,420.00 $ 6,240.00 $10,950.00 $14~150.00 TOTAL $105,000.00 The pavement on Ryerson Crescent was widened from a width of twenty feet to a width of twenty-eight feet and new sidewalks were constructed on both sides of the street. The pavement on Jepson Street, between Victoria Avenue and Second Avenue, was widened from 26 feet to 32 feet and a new walk was constructed on the north side of the street. Last year, Council made improvements on many of our streets as to paving and lighting. New sidewalks were constructed on both sides of Erie Avenue from Bridge Street to Queen Street. I think Main Street stands out as an example, with the widening of the pavement, new sidewalks on both sides from Lundy's Lane to Culp Street and Robinson Street, and new lighting which did away with the wooden poles and overhead wires. New lighting was installed on one side of Ferry Street and it is hoped that it will be completed this year. After the completion of tile lighting on both sides of Victoria Avenue, which should be carried out this year, our main streets will be very attractive. At the present time, work is proceeding on the installation of new lighting fixtures on Robert Street, Newman Hill, Falls Avenue, Clifton ~ill, River Road and Bender Hill. These streets have been poorly lighted and the new installation should improve oonditions in an area visited by practically every tourist that visits this area. The City Hydro is continuing to improve our City streets by the burying of high tension cables. Since late spring, Mr. G. Potvin and Associates have been preparing a report on Urban Renewal for Niagara Falls, Stamford and Chippawa. All the field work has been completed and the final report is now being drafted. The report should be completed about April 15th. 1962. Dpring the sunmuer, H. G. Acres and Co. Ltd. were retained by Niagara Falls, Stamford and Chippawn to prepare a report on traffic conditions in the area, The Niagara Parks Conmhtssion and the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission are contributing to the cost of the report because much of the traffic congestion, especially daring the summer months, occurs in the Bridge and Park Areas. The field work for the report has been completed and the final report should be available shortly after the completion of the Urban Renewal Study. The traffic report must be drafted to include any changes respecting land use that might be made as a result of the Urban Renewal Committee recommendations. The completion of these reports will mpan that detailed study of both reports must be made by members of the 1962 Council in order to plan for future developments in the area and within the City Limits particularly. During the year 1961, considerable progress was made toward the provision of facilities to control pollution of the water used by residents of the area. Niagara Palls and Stamford have acquired a site of approximately nineteen- and one-half acres for the location of the Treatment Plant and negotiations are being married out to secure an additional five acres to provide for future development. It is hoped to be able to commence actualconstruction early in the spring of 1962, with the completion date set for March, 1963, so as to take advantage of the contribution of approximately sixteen and one-half percent provided by the Federal Government. The estimated cost of the project is as follows; Main Treatment Plant No. 1 $2,856,400.00 Interceptor Sewers - City of Niagara Falls $ 697,100.00 Interceptor Sewers - Township of Stamford $ 569,200.00 TOTAl.. $4,122,700.00 The members of the Municipal Cbunciis of the City of Niagara Falls and the Township of Stamford will have many decisions to make throughout the year respecting tenders, equipment, methods of financing and an equitable distribution f~ costs of construction and operation, The Council of the City of Niagara Palls will have to study and aPProve of the location of the intercepting sewers in the City of NiaSara Falls which will carry the sewage from the existing four outlets into the Niagara River to the Treatment Plant located east of Stanley Avenue and north. ~f the Hydro-Electric Power Canal. During 1961, detailed plans were practically completed for the construction of a new bridge on Victoria Avenue over the Canadian National Railway tracks. The City is still trying to convince the Board of Transport Commissioners that the proposed structure should be eligible for a larger portion of the cost subject to 80 percent grants instead of 50 percent grants from the Grade Crossing Fund. Up to the prsent, time, it has been impossible to reach agreement with the Canadian National Railway as to the portion of the cost that should be borne by each party. Every effort si being made to have these questions settled so that tenders for construction can be awarded and actual work can start early in the spring. The estimated cost of the proposed work is $655,510.00. The City of Niagara Falls' portion of the cost ~an vary from a high of $203,336,00 to a low of - $157,367.00 depending on the portion of costs received from the Grade Crossing Fund and the Canadian National Railways. During 1961, the City Council made the sum of $150,000.00 available to the Board of Education to permit the completion of the major restoration programs. for the schools. It is not anticipated that the Board of Education will require a large sum for capital expenditures in 1962. ~ Early in 1961, we purchased a new pumper for the Fire Department, at a cost of $23,845.00 to replace a unit purchased in 1939. The old unit was obsolete because of age. During the past year, an agreement was signed with the Dominion Electric · Protection Company for the installation of new fire alarm boxes and recording equipment. : The new boxes will be located in conmercial and industrial areas and upon completion ~ of the installation, the existing boxes and equipment will be taken out of service. At the same time, it will be possible to remove the unsightly steel poles on the west side of Victoria Avenue and many wooden poles on other streets. Studies were carried out throughout 1961 by private interests respecting the development of a global centre on the lands east of the New York Central Tracks and north of Murray Street. It has been impossible for the City staff to present a program of services that will be required when the area is developed as details will have to be adjusted to suit the proposed development. It is probable that roads, eatermains, sanitary and storm sewers will be required, together with development of access roads to provide for increased traffic. A reasonable allowance is being made in the proposed intercepting sewers to provide for an extensive commercial development south of Clifton Hill. Even if the development of the Global Centre is delayed, much planning will be necessary to provide accommodation for the increased traffic resulting from the construction of the Seagram Tower at Falls View and the expected commercial development in that area. During 1961, the Council had to make many decisions respecting the annexation -.P~0ceedings to provide for a much larger unified community. Applications for annexation were filed by the City of Niagara Falls and the Township of Stamford. A preliminary hearing was held by Mr. J. A. Kennedy, Chairman of the Ontario Municipal Board, on :September llth, 1961. As a result of this preliminary hearing, a report was made by 'Mr. Kennedy to the Board on November 15th, 1961, and the City of Niagara Falls and the T0~raship of Stamford were required to submit a statement of claim setting forth the aPPlicantss grounds for annexation. This statement of claim was filed on or about - December 8th, 1961. The opponents of the proposed annexation have until approximately · January 15th, 1962, to file their statements of defence. After the completion of these _ details, it will be necessary to provide all parties with a mass of detailed infornation -and in all probability, a date for a hearing will then be set by the Board. This is an extremely torportent matter for both Niagara Falls and Stamford and will require the · best efforts of our Legal advisers, our consulting engineers, planning consultants and civic officials. The opponents of annexation have engaged eminent legal counsel and und0ubtedly have able technical personnel available to oppose our applications. result of the anticipated hearing before the Municipal Board will determine the development of this area for many years in the future. The In 1961, the City of Niagara Falls and the County of Welland discussed the Possibility.of the City acquiring an interest in the operation of gunset gaven for the ~comodation of elderly citizens. Preliminary arrangements have been agreed upon ereby the City will contribute to the cost of existing facilities and participate in the cost of the proposed addition, Final details will have to be arranged and aPProved by Council early in the year. The City of Niagara Falls has applied for the designation of certain roads in the City as connecting links in the Provincial Highway System. One of the roads applied for is Ferry Street, from Main Street to Victoria Avenue. If this road is declared a connecting link, then it will be possible for Council to consider widening the Lane and repaying the road surface. If the work on Ferry Street can be carried out in 1962, it will then be possible to widen Victoria Avenue and repave it in 1963. In 1962, it will be necessary for Council to purchase a new unit to be used in the land-fill method for the disposal of garbage and rubbish. Due to the nature of the work and the necessity of operating on "cats", the lifetime of a machine is very short. The machine at present in use was purchased in March, 1958. The present machine cannot be expected to operate through 1962 without excessive expenditures for repairs. During 1961, three new motels were constructed and alterations and additions were made to three others. The total number of additional rooms made ~ailable in 1961 was 89. Up to the present time, building permits have been approved for seven new motels and additions to the others so that the number of additional rooms already authorized for 1962 will be 221. It will be necessary for City Council to determine the number of additional rooms that can be permitted in each year or at least some type of control to prevent a serious surplus of tourist accormnodation in the area. Late in 1961, the City purchased 1811 and 1817 Peer Street so that Sylvia Place can be extended through to Peer Street and the parking facilities just west of Syliva Place improved to serve the main street shopping area. The extent of the work to be carried out will have to be determined by the 1962 Council. In 1961, the City made application to Nabisco Foods Ltd. and E. H, Ferree Company Ltd. for permission to develop vacant lands owned by them for parking facilities for the Niagara Falls Memorial Arena. The agreements for leasing the lands have been forwarded to both Companies and it is hoped that development of the parking areas can be proceeded with almost iu~nediately. As soon as the areas can be developed, immediate consideration should be given to the improvement of traffic conditions on the streets adjacent to the Memorial Arena by the elimination of parking on one side of the streets. .The Councils of Niagara Falls, Stamford and Chippaws have requested a meeting with the Honourable W. A. Goodfe~low, Minister of Highways, to discuss access to llighway 405 at Stanley Avenue. With the. completion of the new Queenst0n' LewiSton Bridge and Highway 405, the traffic pattern of this area will be materially altered and it is absolutely necessary to provide facilities for vehicles to each the Industrial and Commercial Areas of the community as easily as possible. The 1962 Council will have to continue to press the Department of Highways'for the necessary access roads to both the Queen Elizabeth and Highway 405. As stated previously, it is anticipated that the new bridge across the Niagara River, when completed, will alter the traffic pattern of the area. It is proposed that when the new bridge is constructed On Victoria Avenue, that the pavement on Victoria Avenue should be rebuilt from Bridge Street to River Road. Most of this thoroughfare is in the City of Niagara Falls, but a portion of it is in the To~mship of Stamford. The plans for the new bridge provide for a roadway 44 feet in width. It is suggested that the roadway on Victoria Avenue should be widened to 48 feet. Details of this work will have to be dealt with by the 1962 Council and consultations held with the Council of the Township of Stamford regarding the work. As members of council are aware, Premier Robarts has announced that in 1962 additional grants will be provided for the schools of the Province. It is estimated that the revised formula will mean an increase in grants of approximately ~20,000.00 for the City of Niagara Falls. Every Council has the problem of maintaining existing services, providing the funds for capital expenditures and at the same time trying to maintain a reasonable mill rate. This is extremely difficult in a municipality such as Niagara Falls where municipal revenues, other than.raalty taxes, are practically static. The only hope of Council to maintain a reasonable mill rate is to enforce strict control over general expenditures and, more particularly, over expenditures for capital improvements. On January Ist, 1961, our total debenture debt ms 95,500,515.37. On december31st. 1961, our total debenture debt was $5,766,005.73 or an increase of $265,490.36. This increase includes $150,000.00 for the Board of Education sold in 1961 for 1961 work. Of the total debt of 5.766 million dollars, approximately 1.55 Allton dollars is revenue producing, leaving the taxable debt at approximately 4,218 million dollars. One feature that favoured Niagara Falls in 1961 was the reduced cost of borrowed money for capital expenditures, In 1960, money cost the City 6,29 percent, but in 1961, this was reduced to 5.78 percent. At the present time, there is no indication that the borrowing rate in 1962 will vary greatly from that of 1961. The cost of money to the City is of vital importance because it will be necessary to sell debentures for large amounts late in 1962 or early in 1963 to finance the new bridge on Victoria Avenue and the Pollution Control Plant and interceptor sewers. Ladies and Gentlemen, in closing I would like to extend thanks, on behalf of the members of council and myself, to Very Reverend Father Lieffer and M~gistrate' J0hnstone Roberrs for the important part each has played in this Inaugural Meeting.

Weir, Q.C. counsel for the two municipalities, explained his desire for a closed meeting in order that he could make certain observations without the press being present and possibly jeopardizing the position of the municipalities concerned by unnecessary publicity. He stated that the discussion was to be completely off the record and went on to elaborate on what has taken place to date with reference to Orders of the Ontario Munfcipal Board, particularly with reference to the position ef the Township of Thorold which it had been originally indicated, should be included in the annexation. Mr. Weir stated that in hls opinion there were now three alternatives, ~he first being that we could consider the possibility of protesting the decision ef the Ontario Municipal Board in connection with the Township of Thorold and ~0ssibly attempting to upset such decision, but hastened to advise that this might eventually jeopardize the whole application. ] Secondly. to proceed under the application as presently filed including ~hippawa and a portion of the Township of Willoughby.

Mr. Weir stated that he has no recommendation to make beyond the second ~r third alternatives and felt that the decision now rested wlth the Councils as 0 what their procedure should be from this point.

Martin as to the necessity of removin: the trees at the corner of Main St. and Ferry St. at the Service Station, the City Manager advised that this tree was on private property and was not removed by Cit) workmen, BY-LAW Laid over from a previous meeting; 'No. 6154 - A by-law to'authorize the purchase of a site for a primary sewage treatment plant and preliminary engineering investigations in connection with such plant.

Faho Martin referred to the difficulty of a resident on Willmort Street, Number 1007, in par|sing his car on Willmott Street, resulting in receiving parking violation tickets and queried the possibility of the resident |laving a tree removed from the front of hi? house in order to provide a parking space for his car. The City Manager referred to objections voiced by adjoining neighboers in areas where this practice haf~ taken place (the parking of car~ on front lawns) and the complaint brought forth by Ald. Faho Martin was left with the City Manager to investigate. Ald. Fnho Martin referred to the Election neMt Monday, and the ,~ossibility of the Polls being very busy and ~;uggested that consideration be give, ~o providin~ additional scroen~ at the polls to accommodate the votere~ so that there could be a fa~ter method of getting the voters out of the Polls, but the City Clerk advised that there simply would not be enough room in any of the locations where the polls are situated. Ald. Faho Martin then referred to the fact that possibly some of th: electors might not he conversant uith the English language and would not underst~r the procedure followed in exercising their franchise and suggested that considcr~ be given to the insertion of instructions in the local press in their own languag!TM to assist them. Me action was taken with regard to the Aldcrman's suggestion. Ald. Gregory referred to the fact that there was not a post-nominal~'''~ meeting held last Monday, November 26th. so that questions could have been direcb~' to candidates and pointed out that some 50 candidates will be speaking over tbc radio on Wddnesday evening and then at the public meeting on Friday and he queried what opportunity the public would have to question the candidates publicly. His Worship the Mayor advised that this had been discussed at the merger meeting and the idea was that every candidate would be given time to speak and then the public would be given the opportunity to question the candidates. The Mayor was of the opinion that there should have been two meetings - one for the Mayoralty and Council Candidates and another for the Boards of Education and Separate School Trustee Candidates. Ald. Gregory then queried whether the Merger Committee in their delib~rations have discussed the personnel of the qity of Niagara Falls and the Township of Stamford and that he was asking this question because it had been breached by City residents a~d Stamford residents. He referred to the recent appointment of three firemen in the Township and queried whether this had been a decision of the Merger Committee or the Township Council. Ald. George Martin, Chairman of the Joint Merger Conmtttee, advised that at no time had the hiring of the three firemen referred to, been mentioned to the Committee and that it is the prerogative of the Township to hire or fire as they please, in accordance with their needs. In connection with discussion of new per sonnel, the gommittee felt that if the Election was going to be held on the first Monday in Decembpr, that most of the decisions would have to be made by the new 1963 Council and at that time if it was the feeling of the 1963 Council who are elected, that they would like to sit in at the meetings after December 5th. until the ~pd of the year with the Merger Committee and consider the personnel of the two municipalities~ that they should be given the opportunity and would be Well advised to do so in that manner. Ald. George Martin reiterated' that no personnel problems have been discussed by the Merger Committee except general personnel problems. In answer to Ald. Morton~s remarks concerning seniority or promotions, His Worship Mayor Miller stated that the Chairman of the O.M.B. had deleted any mention of seniority of employees. Mayor Miller stated that he himself was satis' field that the Merger Committee will respect the seniority rights and fringe benefits of all employees. AId. Faho Martin referred to a call he had received from residents adjacent to Fiorentino~s poultry establishment on Ottawa Street an.d that he had been advised that chickens were still being. brought in before 7 A.M. and the exhaust stacks have not been r'aised to comply with the instructions issued. The Alderman referred also to the' wall which was -to have been lowered. Ills Worship Mayor Miller advised that the recommendations of the Board of llealth had to be approved by the authorities in Ottawa and he understood that approval has Jut been now received, a copy of which had been made available to the goliditor for Fiorentino ~ s/."

SEE Report Number 327. The following Communications were presented; No. 397 - Local 505 and 536, U.E.W. - requesting Council to reconsider its action in hirinE out of seniority. It was moved by Ald. Gregory, seconded by Ald. Faho Martin that the communication be received and the hiring of the four employees be reconsidered in view of the strict seniority of temporary employees list. This motion was lost by a vote of 5 to 2; an amendment by Ald. Ceorge Martin, seconded by Ald. Morton that the con~unication be received and tabled and the Negotiations Committee be instructed to meet with the Civic Employees~ Local 133, and discuss the situation and submit a fell report to Council, was carried by a vote of 5 to 2, the vote being - Aye - Ald0 George Martin, Morton, Whtte~ Swayze and McKinley; Nays -Ald. Gregory and Ald. Faho Martin. Previous to this action, a full discussion was held, during which Ald. Ceorge Martin, Chairman of the Negotiations Committee, referred to the Editorial which had appeared in the press, and which, in his opinion, appeared to be one-sided and he felt'that if the press had delved into the situation and information, it would have been a much different editorial. He pointed out that the man they had referred to, was 49 years of age, has a wife and family in Italy and it was felt that here in the City, with families, and maintaining homes here should be considered a man classed as a single man. The Alderman was of the opinion that a precedence not been set this year in the manner in which the temporary employees had been selected. He referred to the advice of the Pension Experts hired by the City when the Pension Plan was under consideration, that it was foolish to hire a man permanently ~o the City Staff over the age of ~5, because he would not receive a full pension upon retirement. He pointed out that the City of Niagara Falls was a little differently l~u~ed with reference to temporary staff, that the City's temporary staff is over be retir:ears of age; and with the Pension Scheme permanent employees are obliged to d at the age of 65.' He pointed out that temporary men have no retirement and it had always been the consideration of the Committee and of the Council that th man r,emain temporary so that they could work and continue to make a livelihood ad 8e Of 65. He referred to the seniority list of temporary employees at hand v~s:d that when the information had been compiled and placed before the Committee Were. Justified in making their recommendation, The Alderman stated that when men were appointed last year that there was no question of seniority and the Union were satisfied with the names of the four temporary employees suggested for assignment to the permanent staff, when the Committee met with them. Ald. Gregory queried as to the number of temporary employees asked for their opinion as to whether they wished to remain temporary employees and was of the opinion that pension plans are good but sometime worked to the detriment of the employees. He was of the opinion that the editorial reflected the opinions of the majority of people in'this area; that none of the positions are very responsible jobs and Council should definitely go along with the ideas expressed in the communication from the United Electrical Workers. Ald. Faho Martin stated that he did not wish to deprive the four men hired to the permanent staff, but was of the opinion that Council'e action should be reconsidered. Aid. McKinley agreed that Ald. Geo. Martin had given a concise explanation of the action taken at the last meeting of the Committee; that in two different years when be was a member of the Committee the matter of hiring permanent employees came up before the he wished to say that he did not agree with the policy as reflected and hoped that the new Council would not follow such a policy and restrict a man from permanent employment because he was over the age of 45. The Alderman referred to the Committee Meeting held with the Union Comnttttee to whom these decisions were submitted and the Union did not disagree. AId. Morton was of the opinion that the matter should be studied more thoroughly by the new Council. He recalled that the Union had brought in their request in one of their ~ontracts that no one over 44 years of age should be hired and he expressed appreciation for all the telephone calls and letters he had received about the matter, which showed people were interested. His Worship Mayor Miller stated that he did not recall that Council · ' had set a policy of age 44 and pointed out there are some men employed by the City well over the age of 44. The Mayor was of the opinion that something should be done by Council in the now year and stated that his objection was that setting the age limit at 44, penalized those temporary men who had served the City for five or six years, and then did not qualify for permanent employment because they were over 44. An'employee should be given the opportunity whether he receives a partial pension or no pension. At the request of AId. George Martin, the City Manager explained to Council how emplolnnent is handled by management. t as far as temporary employees were The City Manager ad~rtsed tha r as the work is developed concerned, they are put on in the spring of th; Z~aduring the season and are laid and placed on the basis of senioritY; are emply over according to seniority, that is, the last man hired is the first to be laid off. So far as senior men on the list, the City tries to keep them emploYed long enough.: so that they can draw unemployment insurance, but it is not possible to keep Junior men on long enough, In the winter time men on the temporary list are given preference so long as they report.
