Members of the Board of Education and Pu' lic Utilities Corurassion were
also present at this meeting.
All members of the Council and the member of the Public Utilities Com-
mission took the Oath of Office before Clerk A. C. Huggins.
The Reverend Father Daniel Egan gave the Invocation for the 192 9
Council.
Reeve Gordon Monroe gave the inaugural address as follows:
The Voter's of Stamford Township have honoured me by giving me
an acclamation for Reeve in the year 1949. I appreciate this honour
very greatly and will e deavour to the best of Tnv ability to live un
to the confidence Placed in me by the electors.
In this my second Inaugural address I would like to congratu-
late Elmer Armstrong on his election to the office of Deputy Peeve
and Councillors Prior and Sootheran on their re- election as Council-
lors. I also have pleasure in congratulating a man who is not en-
tirely a stranger in Municipal politics to this Council table, I
refer to Arthur G. Bridge who has been elected to the 1949 Council.
My congratulations are also extended to Mr. Keith C. MacLeod who
has been re- elected by acclamation to the Public Utilities Commission
for a term of two years. When this term is completed he will have
served the Township of Stamford for 22 years in this capacity. The
members of the Board of Education, who were elected in December, are
also congratulated. These members being M. F. Jones, Warren Kent, and
Mrs. A. W. F. McQueen.
Due to the growth and development of our Township it is my
opinion that the year 1948 was probably one of the most outstanding
years in our history because of the volume of work handled by the
departments of the Township, the Public Utilities Commission and the
Board of Education. I do not intend to review the work of 1948 in
this address but rather to enumerate some of the matters that the
1949 elected representatives will be confronted with, along with
certain suggestions which I would recommend for the serious con
sideration of the Council.
APPOINTMENTS TO STAFF
In the Fall of 1948 Stamford Township lost their Medical Officer
of Health, the late Dr. A. E. Mackenzie, through death. This loss
has been a particularly heavy one, and one of the first duties of the
Council will be to appoint a Medical Officer of Health to replace
the late Dr. Mackenzie.
In December our Assessor, Mr. Frahk Walker, notified the Council
that he intended to resign in the Spring of this year. Mr. Walker
has given the Township excellent service and it is going to be dif-
ficult to replace this official. The Council of 1948 has advertised
for an Assessor. The applications to be in January 10th. If an
appointment can be made shortly after we receive the applications the
new Assessor will have the advantage of working with Mr. Walker until
Spring. I would strongly recommend that the Council take immediate
action after January 10th to appoint a Medical Officer of Health and
an Assessor.

FIRE PROTECTION
During the last year the Council passed a by -law to dissolve th
three fire areas in our Municipality. The Ontario Municipal Board
held a hearing on May '6th, 1948, to hear persons in favour of or
opposed to this by -law. Prior to the hearing the by -law was duly
advertised in the local paper and at the hearing there was no
opposition and the Board approved of the by -law which became ef-
fective on January 1st of this year. As stated before this by -law
dissolves the three separate fire areas we had before and from this
date we will have one fire rate for the entire Township instead of
separate rates for the three sections. It will be the duty of the
Council to set up some system of control for fire protection purposes
since all equipment purchased and all other matters will be considere
for the entire Township rather than for the needs of a particular
area. With this in mind I would suggest to the Council that a com-
mittee of 7 be appointed to be responsible for fire protection in our
Municipality. The committee to be composed of one member of the Tow
ship Council who would be appointed Chairman of the fire Committee
and two representatives from each of the old fire areas: I believe
that one representative from each of the areas should be their fire
chief and one other council appointee from each area familiar with
the fire requirements. I would urge that the Council set up such
a committee as soon as conveniently possible. I believe purchase
order forms should be used for all purchases made by the three De-
partments. Any purchases of over $50.00 to be approved of and
signed by the Chairman of the Fire Committee. By using purchase
order forms it will assist in the accounting set up at our office
and they will indicate at a glance any unpaid accounts that may
be outstanding.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
At the election on December 6th the Voters of Stamford Townshir
were asked to vote on the following question:
"Are you in favour of the Council of the Corporation of
the Township of Stamford initiating action to enlarge the
area of the Jurisdiction of the Board of Education by adding
thereto Chippewa, Willoughby and part of Lincoln County?"
The matter was recommended to the Council unanimously by the Members
of the Board of Education and the electors voted yea on the question
'by a majority of over 600. Since the electors have approved of the
enlargement of the area of the jurisdiction of our Board of Educatio.
it will be the duty of this Council to consider and pass the necessa
resolution and by -law to effect such enlargement.
LOCAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD
In 1948 a Planning and Development Board was set up in this
district which includes the City of Niagara Falls, Village of
!Chippewa, the north part of Willoughby Township and the Township of
Stamford. Ex Reeve R. F. Booth and your 1949 Reeve represent Stamfo
Township on the Board. The Board was set up and organized late last
year and I trust that this Board will function in such a way that te
entire area will finally have a planned programme for proper develop
went. It is most important to Stamford that a planning programme
should be drawn up since there are a great many new subdivisions th
have already been registered and several more under consideration.
Our Council should work very closely with this local Board and shoul
see to it that some definite policy is formulated in connection with
new subdivisions that may be proposed in out -lying areas that do not
have the advantages of sewer and water systems. I believe definite',
that a policy should be set up that would indicate where new sub
divisions of smaller lots could be located, and that the local Board
should have a great deal of discretion in approving of subdivision
plans in out -lying areas.
LOCAL IMPROVE_dENTS
I do not expect that the Local Improvement programme for the
construction of sewers, sidewalks and ::atermains will be very great
during this year. Last year approximately 8290,000.00 worth of
local improvement construction was undertaken. Most of th;s nro-
gramme has been com leted and it is expected that the balance of
it will be completed within the next four or five weeks if weather
permits. These improvements, which include sewermains, watermains,
ar,d sidewalks, have helped to develop new sections of our Township.
Perhaps the two greatest developments are in the vicinity of chester and McLeod Roads where sewer and water mains have been con structed, and the Royal subdivision north of Lundys Lane near the
Queen Elizabeth Way.
ROADS
BUILDING BY -LAW
The Council of 1948 have recommended that our building by-
law be amended in such a way that no building can be erected in any
part of the Township unless a building permit is secured. At the
present time it is only necessary to secure a building permit if the
property is in one of the two sewer areas. By passing an amendment
such as proposed we will have a complete picture of all new buildings
that takes place in the municipality and be in a position to control
overcrowded and sanitary facilities. I feel that this is
particularly important since our development has been so great during
the past few years that our population now is approximately 13,000.
I believe that the Council should consider the appointment of
a Building Inspector who would be responsible for issuing building
permits and inspecting buildings under construction to see that
they conform to regulations. Since this duty would probably not
take up his full time he could relieve other Departments as directed
by Council. It would seem that such an appointment is necessary
since the Engineer's Department does not have sufficient staff to
look after this work along with the many other duties relative to
their Department.
I would recommend the continuation of the 1948 programme of
widening and reconstructing roads in the year 1949.
In subdivisions where we construct roads and pay 100% of the
cost the Council should set up some definite amount for the construct'
of these roads. The amount so set up would depend on the essential
road construction necessary in the new subdivisions. It is my opinion
that the 5 mill levy for road purposes should be maintained each year.
In our road programme weshould continue the reconstruction of bridges
as commenced last year since we receive a subsidy of 80% on this
type of work.
The Council will also have to give consideration to the recon-
struction of the retaining wall at Oakes Drive. A portion of this
wall is not in good shape and requires considerable repairs.
We will require some small read equipment during this year but
in the main our equipment is in excellent condition and costly re-
placements will not be necessary.
We should construct street signs on all new subdivisions. These
signs to be the same as the ones already erected in the Township.
I would recommend that sidewalks be constructed on the west
side of the road allowance on Drummond and Portage Roads at the lo-
cations where the N. S. T. bridges were taken down and the roads
graded.

PARKS
Through the generosity of Mr. John Mulhern we have acquired
a very fine park in the vicinity of Woodbine Street. I strongly re-
commend that this park be graded and possibly trees and shrubs plant°
to make this park an asset to the residents of this particular area
'which is developing quickly.
I would also recommend that Prince Edward Park be graded during II
the coming year. This park is located in a district with a large port fare
lation and because the land is not level the park is not being used t cation
full advantage. If graded and made level I feel that it would be
utilized effectively to a large extent and accommodate several dif-
ferent types of recreational activities.
CEMETERY
gilding
We have two fine Municipal cemeteries in the Township of Stamfor.ort
Lundy's Lane Cemetery and Presbyterian Burying Grounds at Stamford
Centre. These cemeteries are maintained and landscaped in a com-
mendable manner. Last year we constructed ornamental fencing at
the Lundy's Lane cemetery and appropriate stone pillars were erected
at the entrances of the cemetery on Lundy's Lane and Montrose Road.
I believe that a continuation of the fencing should be carried on
along Montrose Road where there is roughly 600 feet more to be
fenced. In addition to the fencing programme we should continue
the cemetery improvements in general.
HOLIDAY AND SICK LEAVE ALLOWANCES
I would recommend that the Council consider setting up re-
!gulations respecting holidays for all employees perhaps on a graded
scale according to the length of service .employed. I think it im-
portant at the same time that regulations should be set up which woul
govern sick leave allowances.
In conclusion it is my sincere hope that Stamford Township may
enjoy a prosperous and happy 1949.

Reeve Monroe gave an oral report on the Conservation meeting he and
the Engineer attended at Grimsby last week. The reason for setting
up a Conservation area was explained to the representatives of the
various municipalities attending the meeting. After hearing the
discussion he stated that soil erosion along the shore of Lake
Ontario and pollution of streams seemed to be the main problem that
the Authority for the Niagara District would have to deal with. The
only portion of Stamford that }could be included in the area set up
by the Conservation authority would be a small area of land located
in the north west section of the Township. It was explained that
the costs for Stamford would be small, if we agree to be included in
the conservation set up, since our only cost would be a proportionate
share of the administration. Costsof work completed under this plan
are a direct charge to the Municipalities who benefit.
