Minutes1957(A)Inaugural Meeting of the Stamford Township Council held in the Council Chambers on Mondays January 7th, 1957 at 11 a.m. The meeting was called to order by the Clerk. He advised Council that[- the Reeve would not be present due to illness. The~eputy Reeve, the three members of Council and the Public Utilities CommissiOn members took the declaration of Office before the Clerk. Now to deal with roads, of which I hap ened to be the and by the telephone calls, sometimes ~efore eight in the morning, I hew it.

There are other departments in our municipal set up that have to be mentioned, dealing with the year Just past. First, I must mention I do not propose at this time to pass out any encomiums, they will the good work that has been done by our Assessment Office.. Due to the come later, but I want to deal with what has been accomplished during fact that someone in Toronto decided that a new code was necessary 1956, in spite of the fact that I have been accused of blocking every in arriving at the way assessments should be made, it has caused our progressive move dur~-~ the past.year. Officials in that office, many more hours of work than would have been Let us take for ~-tanoe the sidewalk situation. Last year it seemed necessary, and again to the enormous transfers of ownership after an -that due to the lmmens. ~ e Ydro projects, that it was going to be hard assessment has' been made means qnite a lot of extra work. The manner .to get the necessary cement, but what did we do., There was laid some in which the Assessment Department has looked after the work, has been 6 8 reflected in the number of appeals that were made at the last sitting . ? miles of ordinary sidewalks, and by that I mean the usual four of the County Court of Revision. It is not necessary to go into foot walks. There was spent on that alone $108,820.80, but some of that at this time, but when I tell you that there were over 160 appeals our property owners wanted something better so that there was nearly made regarding what SChool Board should get the school taxes assessed a mile of curb-faced walks laid at a cost o~ $16,262.40. 0hter ' · property owners thought that they could walk from their homes to a curb, and step into their oonve.a.oes. so again thor. nearly that t.,, .'.,sses,,ment ,.taff of Stamford a mile laid, at a cost of $11,892.96. These were laid partly under against the Properties, It might raise some points.in your mind. the Local Improvem-,xt s stem. Then again 7.30 miles of sewers were 'installed at a cost of ~8~0,000.00 not all chargeable to the There has been some ~iisagreement In the Councll of 1956, with reference /frontages of the property owners, ~ut a lot was spread over the to our Building restrictions, Certainly'there is a 'Building Code, her considerable, ~u t has · ' · have nothing but praise for the l~s actor s the costs in full thus say , . ng- ew owners now know that th rep s .wea~tr~,;.ou1~in time, existence for ove~ 30 ~ars, an~ ~ ":::; ' ~ During the year we have greatly improved our street lighting system, and have installed 41, 500 Watt lamps; 265, 300 Watt lamps and 13 Mercury. Vapour. It is our intention that as soon as possible there will be no more ll0 Watt lamps. A start in this direction has already been made whereby in all new subdivisions the subdivider must pay for the brackets. and then 300 Watt lamps will be installed. In so far as the operations of the Public Utility Commission are concerned, we will have 2 substantial surplus in both the Hyd. ro and Water. 394 new water and 490 hydro services have been installed this ~a~' There has been concluded this past rear a new agreement with ra Falls for the supplying of water, and even though the 'supply of water we used to get from the sand pit wells is no longer available, having become unfit for human consumption, the Commission will be installing a new 12 inch main from Thorold Stone Road down as far as Rlall Street in order to take Oare of the expected heavy residential promotion in and around that district. Regarding the Power .situation, may I again state that the local authorities do not set the rate,s you are being charged, that is done by the Ontario Hydro. and it may be that there will be a slight increase in the house lighting costs in the near future. The Township has gone ahead considerably, and when one considers that the permits ~ssued for buildings of all descriptions amounted to $6,771,332-one can easily see how big Stamford really is, and how greatly the work has increased in the various offices. At this time, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the co-operation that has been given me by all the Department Heads, and I must state that it has been through their efforts that 1956 was a good year. To Carl Huggins and his efficient staff, to R. W. Daws, our Treasurer, and those who work with him, and it was witha feel of regret that one of his ~taff was calleds~ay by the hand oft~e Grim Reaper last year. When one considers that in'lg~6, there was collected In taxes no less than $1,755,000.00 and in addition ma~ other items of receipts were collected, and it is ~uite evident to,me that this staff will have to be increased during the year. · Health Matters were well looked after by the Welland and District Health Unit and under Dr. L. W. C. Sturgeon, we can be sure that it will continue along the-wame lines.. To the Victorian Order of Nurses, nothing but prates can be said for the work they are doing, and I am strongly ~ the opinion that If the Blue ~ross would pay them for house calls, considerable space oo.uld be saved in our Hospital by minor oases that could well be artended by the V, O. N. at home, Before taking up the 1957 program. I think that I should say something about the County Council, to which thi. s mtu~icipality contributed .21.91 per cent of the revenue, and this year will be paying at least 24 5~ per cent Ths t° ha~t ipalitlesis This o e i ~ r ion in road ~ork than we do. ~ot .the fault of the representatives from here, but is due to the antiquated system in which the various committees are 'appointed. However, a good start was made last year, and will result in Stamford having more County Roads than we ~ave now. It is hoped that the whole of the Stamford and Thorold To~vnship Line will be incorporated in the County system as well as all of McLeod Road to the Queen E., and the balance of the Beaverdams Road, and we in return will assume all Montrose Road, o~ly when we consider' it is placed in the category of a Class "A" road, and then those good People south of theLane will get their sidewalks, without. having to sell some l0 feet of their frontages. With the completion of Sunset Haven, most of our old People ~ho have been living in various homes have now been transferred to the new County Council but that will come whe could say about the ~lland in this m0~th. . n we meet in session later on I must compliment the Chairmer~of the various council Committees for their work last year. Councillor Allan and Keighan were very assiduous in their work, and whilst Councillor Mitchelson and Deputy Reeve Bates had perhaps less onerous work they did iook after the interest of the ~atepayers.

Now I thl~k that it is about time that the programme for 1957 should be dealt with. First, debentures ha~e bean issued and the first payment falls due this year. They are Hospital, sewers new Collegiate, addition to the Martha Cullimore School and locaf improvements. These are all new, and I find that the total payment that will have to be raised this year. and which is J~l addition to last year. will come to $146.000 fo~ ~r five n~ men very shortly, a~ I believe ~ the report which ~e cost of education will aga~ increase due to the ~ot that . we w~ll shortly ~et. it w~ll be se~ that-there has been quite a ad~tio~l staff will be required for the new bulldl~s to be ' ~op ~ ~dio~ble offices d~jthe last year. ~ spite of o~ opted very shortly, ~d also to ~he fact that ~e District, Board ~o~se ~ ~P~a~on~' ' ,; . of Education ~ve established a~l ~o~ements a noticed t~t the Teacherss Fedstar . nd It Is .-~. . .. .*., ;'~.;~.~: .. ~%~ ~.~ "' :extent bY'thel~'-l~atlon o11o ~~' '*",. ~ve carried 'ou~ the i~se pro~am of'work, p~ev~ously mentioned . ~e t~me ~s come when the Federal ~ver~ent must mke some ~hem for ~e ~er ~ which ~hey have worked duv~ the year, a~ ~ and the ~roposea Podeva1 ~s mi~t and sho~a b~ dlve~tea ~o have ~ ~ubt ~t. ~ey will ~'so in 1957.

' - , ',.. I, t' During the past year, financial affalr's in so far as interest rates took a very bad turn. When we marketed the Hospital debentures they bore interest at 4 1/2 per .cent and at a slight discount. Today we have to place on the market some $322,000.0G more, and it is , very dottb~ful if we will not have to pay 6 per. cent, and even t. hen with a lose, and if we are to keep faith with provisions of the by-law it means that we may have to make up some $20,000.00 more than originally agreed upon. ~he same ren~rks apply to an. issue of over $600,000.00 for the main trunk sewer, but this cost can only be ascertained when the work is completed, but as for the local improvement situation, the increased cost of borrowix~ money has been taken care of in the calculations on the assessment notices you had sent to you some days ago.. I would like to sum. up these remarks with a very definite statement of policy, which the Council should heartily agree. Due to the fact that when capital expenditures are proposed, and approved Municipal Board, it is necessary to borrow money~ half per cent. Now' we have to pay 5 1/4 per cent, a of which places an increased cost on the work, as. the interest must be charged against construction rather than the general tax payer. This brings me now to this statement. There will no~ be any Capital expenditures in the year 1957, (with one exception, that should the Utility Conmission need money for expansion, end we certainly will need it, but the cost is taken care of by the Hydro and Water consumers only). This may seem rather drastic, but our debenture debt, now at the strainLug point of our financial resources lmust ~ot be increased at any rate for the next two years. , Ioc~l improvemerits will be carried on, only if' those requiring them will pay the entire cost in each before the work is started. Gentlemen of the Cotmoll, I urge you to give very serious con- sideration to this suggestion. NO CAPITAL E~ENDITURES REQUIRING .DEBEN~ ISSUES IN 1957. .Nay I say this that any subdivider wlshing to open up any mew subdivision, should ~eglster the whole plan, not piece-meal Y rollable or s · , e elevation must also conmend the Arena Commission and the mane ement f r te ~8~ a paY or. this ProJect. ~.

The Cotuncil of 1956 committed itself to a policy. of not allowirAg capital expenditures to exceed debenture retirements. This was carried out and I feel the 1957 Council has an obligation to continue this policy. To carry this out will require close scrutiny of all proposed capital expenditures during 1957. I would like to pay tribute to the Supervisory Officials, the Clerk, A. C.. Huggins; the Engineer, M. F. Ker. the Treasurer, R. W. Daws. The loyalty and the efficiency of thes~ men, and the men and women in their Departtents, is a credit to this municipality. Stamford Township is a growing and prosperous com~un , si~ wing municipalities. T t~er lle t and an henour. To assist in the problems of finance, planning · ' nglng imesis a responsibility and day to day administration is a form of community service that I have pledged myself to perform. As Councillor during 1957 I shall: (1) strive to make a contribution to sound local government, (2) do my best to see that Council business is conducted with make'a sincere effort to see that the Provincial Statutes and the by-laws of our own municipality are carried out in the spirit, as well as in the letter, of the law. COUNCILLOR ROBERT F. NEIGHAN Mr. Acting Reeve, members of Council, Reverend Father. Sweeney and Hencured Guests. I, too regret the absenc~ o~ the Reeve on this very important day and I do. hope he will be with us in the very near future. Im the meantime I would like to thank the people for their splendid vote o~ confidence accorded to me on December 3rd as the knowledge and experience acquired in my year on Council-will enable.me to do my beet. As yo~ have heard our debentrwe debt will be greater than 8, million dollars in the coming year. Municipal services are very costly items. Since ~954 we have spent over 2 million dollars on sewers which has made available within our Sewer area thousands of lots fo~ residential development. In view of this fact I do believe the 1957 Council should szriously consider disapproval of any future subdivisions where septic tanks are to be used as they are costly to the owners.and the Township in general,.,when they must be sewered at~a later date. ~ do believe ~hat the'subdivision policy should be again reviewed and Council should consider putting in the laterals to the lot llnes when the sewers are being laid. One of the complaints is that people in subdivisions cannot get into their homes because of the road condition. and I believe if the laterals were p~t ill, base roads could be con- .. struoted and we would have a lot less trouble with the road conditions, .:l agree with the Reevees remarks . No capital expenditures for 1957. U.. I believe we should continue ~o keep the necessary services which are started and construct those that are needed most urgently, but -i ';~. *Municipal borrowir~ today with ~e~ard to. interest rate As--be.comix~ If we are going to protect the home owner~ in Stamford Township we will have to ourtall capital expenditures during the current year, temporarily at least. I support the Re'eve respecting his remarks concerning the Hydro, and shall try to obtain a larger grant from the Hydro. t'ne Niagara' Parks Commission, which is a very profitable organization should be made to support Stamford financially and necessary steps be ~. taken to .obt.ain membership from Stamford on the Park Commission.. We are not represented at the present time on this Commission and receive .no revenue. Much more co~e said .but we have a whole year to say them in. I am happy to' be app.ointed to the Industrial Committee. I believe that much could be done to encourage Industrial Development here. Much more could be said but we are in the land of the living and we should give conslderqtion to those who paid the supreme sacrifice in World Wars. I sincerely hope that the 1957 Council will ftulfill their resolution to construct a suitable ,Memorial Cenotaph to henour the War ~dead. I would lake to welcome W. R. Sootheran back to the Council. I am looking forward to a very busy year in Council. I do hope that even though there may be differences of opinion that the final decisio~s will be made with the interests of the ratepayers the Township of Stamford in mind. X wish to thank the Department Heads and AdmLni~trative staff' for their co-operation in 1956 and I know it will continue into 1957. To the ratepayers of Stamford, best wishes for 1957 and I assure you I will do all in my power in their interests. Inaugural ~ -2.

Romp Mr. Gordon Barrett of Thorold Town opened the discussion by pointing out that a toll system for the Wellar~l Canal could seriously affect, not only industries located here, but also retard further expansion of heavy industry by - removing relatively inexpensive water transportation. He also requested the support of Stamford Counci~ in urging the Department of Transport to do everything in its power to protect this valuable waterway for the development of Industry and the full flow of marine traffic throughout its length, and further that the Welland Carol continue , .. as It is presently administered and that no change be , made In the present ,str~cture of lock charges. "'Reeve ~arTett explained that the suggestions by the American Government to date brought out that the capital cost should be retired over a 50 ear period, . To retire it in that Period "might result in a t]e.O0 a ton toll charge on freight. It was his opinion that oarrain Eastern U.S. interests railwe s Reeve Persnack stated that he was particularly concerned about inland shippir~. He believed that foreign shipping Ou~2ide of Canada Should pay'~oll charges ~hen p~eoeeding ,in, inland'lakes. · ' Councillor Allan mentioned that the seaway would probably create a larger rallwa~ d~fioit for the Country to sub- sidlze.
