The report of the City Manager on possible amalgamation or annexation
of the Township of Stamford was then considered, and on the suggestion of Ald.
Inglis, the Clerk read the proposals as set out in the report.
Ald. Inglis, in speaking to the report, stated that as far as he was
concerned, proposals One and Two concerning possible annexation, were out and
that he only intended to discuss the proposal concerning amalgamation. He
pointed out the disparities existing and referred to the manner of procedure in
the event action is taken and suggested a round-table discussion and questions,
if any, from interested parties in the audience, pointing out the need for actLm
concerning certain expenditures, etc.
Ald. Logan agreed with the statements of Ald. Inglis to the effect that
proposal Three seems to be the answer for the benefit of the whole area for
orderly development and for adequate representation.
Mayor Hawkins stated that he would also favour Proposal Number Three
and deplored the incorrect rumours which apparently have been circulated con-
cerning personnel and the indication that the City might be, to use a term -
"grabbing".
Ald. Jolley also favoured Proposal Number Three and felt there should
~e an analysis of the situation.
Ald. Mowers favoured Proposal Number Three, indicating that it would
bring about a unification of services and that the increased population would
place the minicipality in sixth and seventh position in the ProWince and would
enhance the possibility of obtaining industry.
Ald. McKinley favoured Proposal Number Three and referred to the
difference in Grants and queried what adjustments would be made. This was
explained by the City Manager.
The City Manager then clarified, what. in his opinion, was the procedure
to be followed and was advised by Ald. Inglis that certain enquiries have been
made and that the Department in Toronto has indicated what they would be prepared
to do, He quoted the report re assessments in the. two municipalities, debt
charges, etc. and referred to the effect of the Hydro Project on our economy.
Low taxation, in his opinion, was essential and that we would help ourselves by
helping Stamford to retain a low taxation rate. He also referred to the large
proportion of taxes paid by the business men.
Ald. Donald felt that the first step would be to have all the facts
prepared and presented, so that the electors themselves could decide what they
wish to do and that the Niagara Falls electors were entitled to know what
advantages, if any, would accrue.
The City Manager stated that, in his opinion, industry was the crux
of the whole situation and a combined manicipality seemed to be a necessity.
Mr. McBurney advised that amalgamation as compared with annexation
indicated a pooling of the facilities or resources and that a by-law authorizing
application would be necessary and it would then rest with the Ontario Maaicipal
Board as to whether a vote would be required.
Ald. McKinley questioned whether it was the intention to include
Chippaws in any action on the part of the Council and was supported by Ald.
Donald in this regard. But Ald. Inglis suggested that this phase be left in
abeyance for the present.
Following further discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Ald.

City Manager to bring in a report at the next Council m~etin:- as to the Fossibility
of providing loading zones on ~ueen Street and any other str,~.ts the2', consider.
Ald. Donald referred tO Homewood Avenue and the desire of the residents
tO know when the road will be finished. The City L~nager advised of the inability
of the Contractor to proceed with this work due to sickness of members of his c~ew.
Ald. Jolley advised that the residents on Homewood Avenue are having
trouble with their sewers and the City l'~nager Proceeded to e~cplain construction
proposed with regard to sewers which will relieve this condition.
Ald. Donald referred to inforn~tion he had received with reference to
certain increases in assessment and quoted figures as to chan!jes in the assess-
ments in the first eleven polls, indicating that, in his opinion, it ~.:as not
necessaryto change assessments from year to year.
Ald. Logan expressed accord with Ald. Donald's comments as to changes
from year to year but stated that he was satisfied with the work of the Assess-
ment Cor~aissioner and that if the volume of changes as suggested by the Aldernmn
were to occur, it would seem that the previous re-assessment was not what it should
have been.
Mr. Morton referred to the fact that every year there is a new assessment
and a review of all properties was required and indicated that he would appreciate
the backing of Council in establishing a proper Assessment Roll; also stating
that many of the errors which he is attempting to correct have been in existence
for a nnmher of years and that previously aden[ate land descriptions records had
not been maintained.
Ald. McKinley was of the opinion that the basis of assessment was fair
and pointed out that Council does not have jurisdiction over the Assessment
Co~%tssioner.
Ald. Inglis referred to the machinery which is presently set up in the
Act to take care of any complaints of the persons assessed.
The City Manager when asked for an opinion stated that he felt the
assessment established by Charles Warnock and Company was fair and reasonable,
admitting that it was made in a hurry and that there was a definite possibility
for error. He felt however that these errors would not be of great proportion
and would like time and the opportunity to check into the matter.
His Worship the Mayor also referred to the rapidity with which the
re-assessment was made and expressed the opinion that if there was dissatisfaction
0n the pert of the person assessed, that they have access to the Court of Revision.
Ald. Mowers expressed complete satisfaction with the work of the Assess-
ment Commissioner.
Ald. Mowers referred to the condition of cars parking along the boulevard
adjacent to 0akes Ball Park, being those of employees of Perini-Walsh, who are
working at Shaft No. 3 of the Hydro Project. The City Manager advised of his
action in this connection and agreed to contact the Project Engineer in this
connection.
Ald. M~vers referred to the fact that most of the Companies in
Niagara Falls have pension plans for their employees and was of the opinion
that in fairness to those employees of the City who are not covered by such a
plan, efforts should be made to investigate the possibility of instituting such
a plan, which could be partially contributed to by the City and partially by
the employee.
SE Resolut. i.o.n_

Manager Form of Government. He was also of the opinion that the City has a
Purc.hasing Agent in name Only.

that this matter was being discussed to improve the efficiency of the City' s
.operation and was of the opinion that the Purchasing Agent should be advised
of the materials needed and when they are needed.
The City Manager respectfully suggested that the present system of purchasing
be allowed to continue; that he could obtain better results in ordering tile,
waterworks equipment, etc. that such purchases and those by tender should be
made from the City Hall where the records are and that the nmnant of time
involved to purchase such major items was very small in proportion. The City

should also be obtained from Raynor-Atlas to ascertain whether the estimate
submitted by Perini-Walsh is reasonable. Ai~. Inglis was of the opinion that

FORTY-FOURTH MEETING
Council Ch~Lmber,
3rd Novemb,~r,1952.
REGULAR MEETING
Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met at 7.50 p.m. on Monday, 3rd.
November, 1952 for the purpose of considering general business and finance. All
members of the Council were present, with the exception of Ald. Mowers, Inglis
and Jolley. The Council, having received and read the minutes of the previous
meeting, adopted these on the motion of Ald. I'VeDonald and Logan.
DEPUTATIONS
Mrs. Thelma Hurd was in attendance at the meeting and on the motion
of Ald. McKinley and Logan was permitted to address the Council. Mrs. Hurd
desired to know what could be done to get the Insurance Compan} to accept its
responsibility in connection with injuries she had sustained by falling on a
City sidewalk. She produced a letter from the Solicitors representing the City
in which they stated that they acted for the insured and had been instructed to
deny liability and therefore nmst respectfully deny the claim.
Ald. Logan stated that the Insurance Company makes the decisions and
not Council and was of the opinion that Mrs. Hurd should take her case to her
solicitor. His Worship the Mayor advised also that Mrs. Hurd should seek the
advice of her solicitor and act upon his judgment.
Then Mrs. Hurd proceeded to state that from conversation with the City
Manager, apparently he and the Council are under the impression that her knee
injury is not due to the fall on the sidewalk. She referred to her visit to
Dr. C. J. Brown who prepared a report on her injuries and the fee of $25. in
connection with this report.
Ald. Logan stated that Mrs. Hurd overlooks the fact that every person
who falls on the City sidewalk does not necessarily have a claim against the
City and was satisfied that the Insurance Company is fully conversant with the
Law. He was of the opinion that Mrs. Hurd should satisfy herself by having the
matter checked into by an independent solicitor. Mrs. Hurd stated that she
couldn't pay a solicitor and Ald. Logan then advised that where persons are
unable to pay for the services of a solicitor, arrangements can now be made
with the County Court Clerk who designates one.
His Worship the Mayor then advised Mrs. Hurd that she has the privilege
of appearing before a full Council next week if she so desired.
l~.Robert Willjams, 560 Jepson Street was also present at the meeting
and on the motion of Ald. McKinley and Logan was permitted to address the Council.
She referred to the noise created by the use of sanders and saws in the building
occupied by upholsterers at 563 Jepson Street, directly opposite her home and
requested Council, s consideration to the elimination of this disturbance. Mrs.
Willjams stated that she was not trying to interfere with the livelihood of the
parties concerned, but was of the opinion that some consideration should be shown
to the neighbouts who have to endure the noise and suggested that the removal of
themchines to the rear of the premises and the shutting of the doors of the
establishment might be the answer to coping with the situation. She also referred
to the parking of trucks over the sidewalk, which interfered with pedestrians.
Ald. Donald referred to the fact that he happened to be present at the
Court of Revision when Mrs. William. appeared to appeal against her assessment
because of the conditions existing in the area and referred to several complaints
he had received about the burning of materials, and was of the opinion that Mrs.
Willlame' complaint was Justified.
The City Clerkadvised that the property concerned had been removed
some years ago from the residential area and stated that the question of the
burning of refuse, etc. is nowunder consideration by the Fire Chief who is
definitel~tak~-8 action.
i
His Worship the Mayor assured Mrs, W~l]iams that the trouble
be investigated and a full report w~]l be obtained for next Honday' s meeting.
ORDERED on the motion of Ald. Donald and MacDonald that the matter
complained of by Mrs. WillisIns be referred to the City Manager for submission
of a complete report.
Mr. S~m Long, 1331 North Street, appeared before Council and on the
motion of Ald. McKinley and Logan was permitted to speak. He advised that he
represented the Niagara Falls Cataracts Hockey Club, Senior "B" and desired to
know whether Council would be interested in inserting an ad in the Hockey
program and stated that the Township of Stamford were purchasing a full page
at the price of $100. He advised that the prices ranged from $5. to $100.

FORTY-EIGHTH MEETING
REGULAR MEETING
Council Chamber,
2nd December,1952.
Pursuant to adjourmment, the Council met at 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 2nd.
December, 1952, for the purpose of considering general business and finance.
All members of the Council were present, with the exception of Ald. Jolley.
The Council, having received and read the minutes of the previous meeting,
adopted these on the motion of Ald. MacDonald and Mowers.
DEPUTATIONS
Mrs. Thelma Hurd was present at the meeting in connection with a
communication she presented on behalf of her son, Mr. Alex. Thompson, in which
he queried about the payment of his rent for the month of December. ORDERED
on the motion of Ald. Donald and McKinley that Mrs. Hurd be permitted to speak
to Council. She advised Council that her husband, step-father of Alex Thompson,
is not now in Niagara Falls, but has gone hack up North looking for work. She
then proceeded to give Council a resume of her son's condition since leaving the
Army. The City Manager advised Council that as instructed, after Mr. Thompson's
last appearance before Council, the rent had been paid but that Toronto are not
absorbing their share and that the City has been paying this rental sh~ce August.
Ald. Loganwas of the opinion that the Corporation seems to be providing a home
for the whole family and that the step-father should assume more responsibility,
but, assured Mrs. Hurd that he had every sympathy for her son and his condition.
Ald. Inglis was of the opinion that Mr. Thompson should be sent to Sunny~rook
Hospital and that the proper effort in this direction has not been made and
that application for his entrance should be made by this Council. In this
connection Mrs. Hurd advised that overseas service was a requirement for
entrance into Sunnybrook Hospital. She further advised that the Welfare Officer
of a local Veterans' Organization has advised her son that a hearing of his
case will be expected to take place in December, but that all the worry about
his rental is not helping his condition. His Worship the ~yor advised Mrs.
Hurd that Council has endeavoured in every way to help. ORDERED on the motion
of Ald. Logan and MacDonald that inasmuch as a hearing is scheduled for December,
strong representations should be made on behalf of this Council with the proper
local Veterans' Organization and also the Department in Ottawa to see if this
veteran can be admitted to Sunnybrook Hospital and that the rent be paid for the
month of Deceraber. Carried.
SEE Communication No. 276.
Mr. G. W. Glassbrook was also present at the meeting in connection with
his application to have Lots No. 130 and 131 on the north side of Bender Street,
included in the By-law No. ~883, to designate tourist camps, etc. ORDERED on
the motion of Ald. Inglis and MacDonald that Mr. Glassbrook be permitted to
speak to Council. He reiterated the requests contained in his communication
and assured Council that if his request was granted, that any building erected
would be of the best construction.
SEE Communication No. 2~.

MISCELLANEOUS .
Aid. Mowers advised Council concerning a call he had received from
an Insurance Agent concerning the regulation of the installation of oil burners
and the fact that there is a penalty of approximately 20 cents per premium
because the proper by-law is not in force and was of the opinion that the City
Manager should bring in a by-law to govern the installation or oil burners,etc.
He advised that this subject was also to be presented to the Stamford Township
Council at their meeting to-night. The City ~anager advised that at the present
time the City By-law is not drawn in the proper manner to de~l with the install-
ation of small units, space heaters, etc. and therefore the proper control over
such installations is not in existence, and agreed that some action is necessary

}~__SCELLANEOUS
Ald. Logan referred to a report he had requested regarding the possi-
bility of acquiring a machine to properly clean out sewers. He further referred
to the magazines in which advertisements have appeared in connection with such
units and was of the opinion that even if such could not be obtained by the City,
at least manually operated machines would be a great improvement over the pre-
sent cables being used for this work.
The City Fmnager advised that he has attempted to get prices on the
machines suggested but that one firm contacted has now discontinued manufactur-
ing them. He also advised of his attempt to contact a man in Stamford who uses
one of these machines, but no information could be obtained as the man was
reluctant to divulge this information, fearing that his own business will be
jeopardized.
At this point, His WOrship the Mayor expressed regrets at the
departure of Ald. Inglis, Logan and Jolley from the aldermanic board and praised
them for the time and service rendered to the citizens of Niagara Falls and
concluded with sincere wishes for their health and prosperity and that they
might decide to return to municipal life in the near future.
Ald. Donald, McKinley, Mowers and MacDonald concurred in these remarks
and rexpressed the wish that they might return to the aldermanic board.
Ald. Jolley in acknowledging the remarks of His Worship the Mayor and
the four remaining aldermen, expressed his appreciation and offered his
services whenever they may be required. He concluded by extending an invitation
to visit his office on Wednesday afternoon, where 'Open House' is being held~
Ald. Inglis expressed his appreciation for the remarks directedat
the retiring aldermen and stated that the years 1953 and 195~ will be important
years for the Council of the City of Niagara Falls and the changes in employment,
cost of living and taxation which will be affected by the possible conclusion
of the Korean War, changes in the United States Government, etc.
He also referred to the serious affect on employment, business and
real estate through the cessation of the Hydro Project in this area and con-
cluded with a sincere wish to the 1953 Council for every success in the delib-
erations of the problems which they will have to face, and also expressed
appreciation to the Council, members of staff, press and radio for consideration
and services rendered during his years of office.
'Ald. Logan in acknowledging the remarks of His Worship theMayor and
the four remaining aldermen, expressed his appreciation and referred to the
experience gained as a member of Council and regretted that he was unable to
continue to serve the City for another term. He concluded by wishing all the
compliments of the season.
On the motion of Ald. McKinley and M~wers, the Council adjourned to Finance
