All the members of the Council and the member of the Public

A. C. Huggins,
Reeve Arthur George Bridge gave the inaugural address as follows;
To the Members of the 1954 Council
and the guests present and to the
Ratepayers of the Township, and to
all those thmt may be listening in
over C. H. V. C.
Ladies Gentlemen:
It is with a
the privilege of being
your Reeve, and I consi
esteemed,
feeling of pleasure that I am again given
able to greet you for the fourth time as
der it an honour not to be lightly
I mutt first thank those who made it responsible for
me to be returned to office, and your confidence, I can assure
you,will not be betrr.yed, when considering your interests.
I must also congratulate Deputy heeve W. R. Sootheran,
Councillor Gordon Bates in oeing elected the senior Councillor,
to Councillor J. N. Allan, the Dean of the Council, and to our
new Councillor, E. E, Mitchelson, who at his first attempt polled
up a remarkably good vote, and I am sure that the Council of 1954
will get along harmoniously, as we did in 1 953, and work and
plan for the benefit of our constituents,
To

Ben Prior, our Assessor whose work increased ten fold over
re- assessment and the numerous property changes that took plaoe
during the year, and to the staff who work in the three offices
mentioned, all I can say is that they did their diversified jobs
in a most commendable manner seeing the many difficulties that
they had to encounter, due to certain changes in the
(of which the Council were not to blame) and which ent ersonnel
work, and I sincerely hope that their work will not go unnoticed
during the year, These remarks only apply to the ground floor,

Before leaving the financial portion of this address,
may I qualm the fears of some over our debenture committments,
the mayor portion is recoverable by frontage charges, grants etc,
and our financial position is just as good as the Old Loy of
Threadneedle Street.
I do flat intend to deal very much on the Public Utility
Commission, as that will be dealt with by the present Chairman,
Mr, R, F. Booth, who will speak later on,
Now as your representative on the Welland County Council,
I would like to state that during the three years I have been
there we have had more road work constructed in Stamford than
there was in the 8 years previously. Former Deputy Reeve Stuart
A. Moore who was on the road committee did wonderful work, and
this
oa
work for 1954, Hehservedj� the Townshipswell and tfaithfullyrind
his term of two years, and it is to be regretted that temporarily
we have to lose his services,
As far as the County Council is concerned, I am beginning
to come to the conclusion, that they are becoming more of a liability
instead of an asset to many municipalities, I do not believe any
County Council should be run on political lines, It does not tend
for the best administration. In the road department, very
frequently the municipality that pays the smallest amount of road
taxes into the County gets the largest road construction, and
vice versa, as has been Stamfordrs share for many years,
It has practically cost 435,000,00 in sessional and
committee time this year, and our share of that amounts to
4 so you will see that Stamford is a good milch goat
for other municipalities.

This meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the
surface water problem that exists at the intersection of
Coholan Street and Portage Road. Mr. F. A. Bpanscombe,
the subdivider of this section, and the Engineer both spoke
at some length on the problem. The subdivider informed
Council that he was no longer interested in this develop-
ment and he was of the opinion that action should be taken
under the Municipal Drainage Act. The Engineer explained
that he had taken emergency steps to relieve the condition
by having an outlet on the top of the manholetthat will
pump the water by pressure to the ditch along the road.
He stated that this was only a tempobary arrangement and
results could not be guaranteed. After considerablen
discussion members of Council felt that possibly the
best arrangement that could be made would be to construct
a portion of the new sewer area on Portage Road to take
oare of the surface watei' and decided that this question
be studied further when the sewer areas were Meg considere

On invitation of Deputy Reeve Sootheran, Mayor Hawkins stated that his
Council members wished to talk over matters of mutual interest to the two
municipalities. Among others he listed finances, hospital, sewage
disposal, incinerator and amalgamation. He stated that it would be
desirable to discuss these items at round table discussions where all
members would feel free to speak their mind without being quoted and
at the same time they could to so with no prejudice.
Councillor Bates stated that he was in favour of a committee being
appointed representing the two municipalities to consider all features
of the mutual problems affecting the two municipalities.
Deputy Reeve Sootheran called on all members of the City and Township
Councils to express their opinions and it was the consensus of opinion
that a small committee representing the two councils should be appointed.
"THAT a committee be set up of 2.elected
representatives from the Councils of
Niagara Falls and Stamford, who will
have power to bring in appointed
officials and anyone in the area for
the purpose of assembling information
neoessary for the two councils to
discuss the mutual problems of the
two municipalities on a common level."
Carried.
Mayor Hawkins asked if any action had been taken by Stamford Township
Counoil in respect to rent control. Deputy Reeve Sootheran replied
that Stamford had considered the matter at some length but decided
that rent control would not be enforced in-the Township of Stamford.
.He mentioned that the majority of residents of the Township were home
owners and that the•70'rental houses. in 1953 had relieved the situation

The meeting was called to consider the unemployment
condition that exists in this area at the present time.
By invitation Mr. Wm. L. Houck, M. P., and Mr. Arthur
Jolley, M, L. A.,,were in attendance.
Considerable discussion took place on the unemployment
condition and all agreed that the situation could become
very serious this winter. Both members of Parliament
agreed to work with the Township to secure some relief.
It was the consensus of opinion that the curtailment
of Hydro operations has materially contributed to
unemployment since a great many men from outside, who
came here to work on the Hydro Project, are now without
work and continue to reside here.

The meeting was called to consider a report from the

encountered in connection with our sewer program.
A representative of Swansea Construction Company
attended the meeting and a discussion took place
in respect to the manner in which the Canadian
National Railway is insisting that the seminar be
constructed under their tracks. The type of con-
struction being insisted on is more costly than the
type of construction anticipated.

a new bid from Swansea to construct
the sewer under the tracks at unit
