White ~d ~len, the II~'or's inaugural address was ~dered spread on the inutes. ~AYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS "To M~mbers of the Board of Aldermen, Carried "At this, your inaua~ral meeting for 1943, may I offer congratulations to those in whom the electors have again entrusted the administration of the af- fairs of this City. I wish to Join v.ith you in expressing our appreciation to the citizens for the confidence which we enjoy. May that confidmce be not ~misplaced during this year. "On your behalf, I extend to all civic organizations and to the staff, our appreciation for their sincere co-operation. In these difficult day,s the ad- ministration of local ~vernment must of necessity curtail all Unnecessary expend- itures because of the increased demands upon the taxpayer by the federal govern- ment for ~ar purposes. The assistance so willingly extended by the city officials and employees and the members of the various boa, Ms and commissions has rode pos- sible the ~ccomplishment of a successful year at a time when war is increasing the 'seats of government and will be most severely'f. elt in the present year, through in- creased levies for war purposes. "During the past year many important. problem were presented to you for your consideration. I believe the people of this City appreciate the difficulties which had to be faced in your discussions and that every attempt was made to arrive at a satisfact. ory understanding of the several problems and we appreciate the as- sistance and convenience afforded us on those occasions. Dtn'ing the coming year our problems will becorae more acute due to ~Tar conditions and will continue to mer- it your serious consideration. "This Council has coImnitted itself to a progrannae of efficient ad~inist- ration and that, I believe, will continue to be your policy for the ensuing year. I need not, at this time, coinment upon ear strong financial position, but I must again re-state my position upon the encroactuaent by the provincial government on city and private property ~.~ithout due consideration to city and private rights and those who represent this municipality in the parliaments should be requested to urge their respective goverr~.ents to provide adequate protection to all public and private properties against further encroachment and that proper compensation and taxation be provi~.:ed for on those properties, public or private, ~'fnich havebeen taken over for any purpose in this City, oar earnest opinion being that such action is necessary for -the complete safeguarding of democratic principles and ideals and the protection of municipal rights. "Consideration must be given to the overhauling of the municipal revenue structure because it nov~ relies primarily on taxes against property and more spec- ifically against real. estate. These changes in the local revenue system am~ dict- ated by the fact that wealth is no longer represented pril~rily by real e~ate, and by the greatly increased amount of property exempted from local taxation. The cost of social services v~hich will increase v~ith the progress of the war and after entering the postwar period, should not be the burden alone of the property ovmer and while .property owners are not opposed to taxation, the present system is not in ratio with the facilities of payment of the property-o~ming taxpayer. The year 1942 has been one of the best in the history of our city. We have been able to com- mand the services of the most successful leaders of our cor~unity who are able, both by training and civic pride, to profacts our best interests, but the present year is bound to demand greater sacrifices, greater hardships, stricter regulations 6f our normal activities, due to war. Approximately B,O00 of our men and women have been called to the colours, many more will answer the cell and raoney is needed to provide mate~ial and equipment to ~e greatest possible extent. To this erid our city will not fail. That spirit of determination and unity will entail no sacrif- ice too great to help rid the v~orld of the war-mad dictators. This cotu~6il, I am sure, will provide the necessary leadership in an all-out effort to assure world peace. - "The year 1943 is before us and there is vision for the future. Pract- ical planning is necess.:ry ~e intlement that vision in the postwar' period. We will not forget the promises that rose froIn the blood-stained battlefields of Flanders twenty-five years ago, and in dedicating ourselves tO the preservation of human rights, let us keep faith with the men and women in the armed forces and in vmr industry in rehabilitation into civil life and occupations. "That courageous statesman, Prim I~inister Churchill, speaking in 0t- tin'm, said 'Canada occupies a unique position in the British Empire because of its unbreakable ties with Rritain and its evergrov~lng friendship and intimate as- sociation with the United States. Canada is a potent foree drawing together those in the new world and the old, ~ose fortunes are now united in a deadly struggle for life and henour against the common foe.' I know of no place where that friend- ship and that intimate association has been so sinply demonstruted as at this bor- der poiht and on your behalf, I extend greetings to our sister city of Niagara Falls, New York. I re-state the motto of the Prime Aiinister of Britain and the great President of the United States: 'We have suffered together; we shall con- quer together.' A~r. Churchill, in speaking, said that our troops may be enagaged · in the greatest battle the world has ever seen. We ar~ proud that those in the sexwides will uphold the best traditions of Paschendale and Vimy Ridge. "Ml'. Churehill also made this statement, 'In this strange and terrible world, there~ is a place for everyone. Men and women, old and young, hale and halt, service in a thousand for~s is open'. "I know, members of this Aldertannic Board, that you would wish me to ex- tend our appreciation to those who are goving of their time and effort ia auxil- iary war service, and I do so publicly, and to the represent=tires of tlxe several organizations I extend our gratitude, and I am sure a greater appreciatior, comes from those in the armed forces and from their fs~ilies thun could be ex~ulessed in words by any member of this Council. To them and to their colm:~it~e~s may I sug- gest that they carry on their great ~;ood work. It is i-'x~po~siblc at this ti~l~c to enumerate the work of all the several organizations but we hope they v~ill ~ccept this recognition of the i~!~portant functions they perform. Their '~ork is dedicated to the salvation of Christian civilization and hnm~n liberty and has answered Churchill's call: 'Come tha~ let us to the task'. "In conclusion, may I state that this counc.il v,~ll continue to ~'!ork in harmony throughout the year in the best interests of our City and develop a heal- thy spirit of co-operation bet~,~een the elected representatives and the citizens and to develop a public opinion which will recognize that local Coverr~ent is the foundation of our democracy and coincides with out interest in the successful prosecution of the war to w=~ich we must lend our whole-hearted su!~ort. L:ay I then again quote the British Prime L~inister: 'Let us then address ourselves to our task, not in any ~my underrating its tremendous difficulties and _~erils, but in good heart and sober confidence, resolve that whatever the cost, whatever the suffering, we shall stand by one another, true and faithful co~p~ades, and do our duty, God helping us, to the end' ." His Worship I~ayor Inglis then.presented appropriate scrolls to L'~ss l[ate S.Durdan and }Jiss l~ary E.Smith, 'in recognition of over fifty years of ~eachinS in the public schools of the City of Niagara Falls. His Worship also introduced LLr. Carl L. Young, a member of the Bo~rd of Education, ~'~.o spoke of the wonderful ser- vice performed by these tv,~o teachers. flit. Y.E.Lawson, Chairman of the Co~n~unity Christmas Fun Committee was then introduced, and he spoke briefly on the work v~hich had been performed by the orgshization.

READ AND ADOPTED, December 20, 1943. Clerk FIFTY-FIFTH NEETING Council Chamber, December 17, 1943. SPECIAL MEETING A special meeting of the City Council was held at 5.00 p.m. on Friday, December 17, 1943, for the purpose of meeting with the Hencurable Humphrey Mltchelll Minister of Laboar. All members of the Council, together wlthAld..-Elect James Barr and Thomas 0.0liver, were present. An agenda had been prepared, containing a number of questions on which the City Council wished answers sad advice from the.Honoarable Minister. The questions and the reply made by Mr. Mitchell are as foll~s: 1. Clarification of the future operations of the Welland Chemical Works Limited, and what effect these operations would have on the continued operation of the North American Cyanamid Limited. Mr. Mitchell advised that what the Gov- ernment is trying to do, and is going to do, is be change the war industries to peace-time industries. The plan is to manufacture fertilizer at the Welland Chem- ical Works, of the kind needed on every farm in the country. His Worship asked if there was any chance of the North American Cyanamid Limited being moved out to the Welland Chemical Plant. The Hencurable Minister stated he was not afraid of the pastwar period. The big problem when the war is over will be control. If we live the Canadian way there should ha no difficulty. If we live some other w~y, there is no telling what might happen. Aid. G.Donald asked if the Welland Chem- ical Works will not he shut down. Mr. Mitchell said that he thought there was a bad~ychology in Canada. He was convinced we had organized a machine second to none. We have brains and genius and are quite able to take care of our postwar period. He did not see any reason to be afraid of it. If any man or woman in the country wants a Job, to-day he can get it. His Worship asked if men would be given preference to married women, and spoke of 'Latch key children, and the prob- lem of Juvenile' delinquency. The Hencurable Minister stated there are 270,000 women engaged in war industry. He spoke of the wonderful contribution to the war effort made by the women of Britain, and emphasized that without this contribution, the success of the war would have been impaired. His Worship stated that the Nia- gara District is third to the City of Montreal and a comity of Saskatchewan in the rate of venereal diseases. The Minister stated that the problem of Juvenile delinquency was one for the parents, that it was asking too much to expect the state to take over the guidance of the children. His Worship Mayor Inglis asked if it is the intention of the Government to foster the return ot peace-time prod- ucation in new .,~nts erected to the expense of old ones. The Minister said that was not the policy. Aid. White said the North American Cyanamid provided a very considerable sum for taxes to this City and a considerable number of persons are employed there. The Council wishes to be assured that this plant will not be ab- sorbed by the Welland Chemical Works. The HonourableMinister said he did know this, that we are moving from the production of war materials to the production of peace m~.terials. We have enough explosives to blow Germany off the map. 2. What, if any, will be curtailment of industry in the Niagara Area in the immediate future? The Hencurable Minister said all he could answer to this is that every man or woman who wants a Jobwill go where we send them, can be given a Job. Ald. G.Donald said he knew where contracts were being cancelled every day, and wondered if the people affected could be handled. Mr. Mitchell declared at the moment this could be done. He spoke of the production of a~o- planes and the great need for trained crews, and men for the other services. He stated we have organized the manpower in the country in a manner that is stag- gering. The country has organizing brains and genius. Why be afraid of the post- war period? Everybody thinks that we are going hack to 'the 1929 conditiOn, but he does not think so. What are the prospects of full employment in local industries follow- ing a successful termination of hostilities? This question is answered by the answers to the above two questions. 4. What is the government policy With respect to persons brought into this district to work in war industries, following the Armistice? ~ir. ~tchell said he was talking to Mr. McNumara (Selective Service director) last week; and finds the Government have the macahnics' to take care of it. The present organization is a far better machine than after the last war. His Worship.Mayor Inglis hoped we were not going to have refugees dumped on us. Mr. Mitchell said this was not in his dep~rtment. Aid. White said the Hencurable Minister was close enough to us to realize what happened when the Welland and power canals were completed and when access across the river to industry was cut off. Msay persons affected never had been citizens of Niagara Falls or the district. They were left in this City and were part of the unemployment problem to be taken care of. The Minister stated he did not see it as a probl~a of magnitude providing the country keeps its feet on the ground and maintains its posi.tion - on the agricultural side and in the problem of housing. He said the British people were not pushed into the war but went into it voluntarily. We built up an aeroplsae industry in eighteen months. The reason why Britain won the battle of the Atlantic was because of equipment. That is also the reason why our forces are ready to meet the German planes when they come over London. Last year when the Minister returned from Britain he was on a ship with 8700 passengers. This ship was without escort and carried equipment which was able to detect submarines. That equipment was made in the City of Toronto. The Hencurable Minister stated he directed the establishment of the national selective service. He spoke of the working of the service and the coal crisis which was con- trolled to an extent by the service. 'Ald. G.Donald asked what about those people · who want to move out of town and had no money. Mr. ~tchell said the Government would take care of them. He stated that the country had been organized and it is quite possible to convert it to peace-time use. Ald. Allen asked if the Henour- able Minister would give the council assurances that these people, moved into this district, will be moved if employment is not available for them. The Minister stated he did not know what the Government policy will be. 5. Can any assurance be given that in the event of work layoffs being nec- essary, local residents will be kept in employment and the first layoffs will in- clude those moved into the district? Mr. Mitchell said he thought so, natarally. He spoke of the policy of individual organizations giving preference to seniority among its employees. 6. Can any detial be supplied concerning the government plans for postwar work, especially the possibility of federal help to prosecute municipal andertak- ings which may be required to provide employment? Mr. Mitchell said he though. t the whole approach of the postwar problem is the negative approach. We think there is going to be a terrific unemployment problem and will have to spend a lot of the taxpayers' money. He did not think there will be such a development. It will not be necessary. Ald. G.Donald said supposing the Minister was wrong and we do have unemployment. Mr. Mitchell said of course the government is prepared, that there is the Reconstruction Committee in the House of Commons at the present time. Ald. White enumerated the m~ny works which would be possible in this City. His Wor- ship stated that he took it that there is going to be prosperity after the war and it will not be necessary for the municipalities to make this great expenditure for employment. The Minister spoke of the mater of municipalities obtaining 'cheap money' and said that when a man lends money he is entitled to get the money back. He said he flet the Government would go along, providing the municipalities kept on the track. Where industrial plants have been subsidized by the government for war purposes, will those plans with government aid retain the same number of employees during the rotecling period, to relieve the municipalities of possible burdens of relief through dismissal? Mr. Mitchell said the Government had established unem- ployment insurance to take care of this, since the last depression. If the ind- ustries change from one style to another, he thought the Government had the organ- ization, through unemployment insurance, that they could, to a large degree, mea- sure up to the requirements. 8. Does the Gevermment contemplate inaugurating a resettlement program to place workers in war production, when it is necessary to lay them off, after the Armistice? The Minister said he had always thken this position. We are quite safe at this very moment. Canada is more adva~.ced than any country among thoUn- iXed Nations. 10. Re the rehabilitation of men and women in the armed forces. Mr..Mitchell said this was under his Jurisdiction to a large extent· He would g~arantee men in the armed forces employment when they come back from the war. This is the law of the country. Canada is so far ahead of what she had after the last war. He paid tribute to the officers for their efforts in training people. He stated we had trained 300,000 people for industry and for the armed forces. Ald. White asked if, at the cessation of hostilities, would the forces be dumped on the mar- ket at one time or let out peace-meal. Mr. Mitchell said he imagined that these people would go back to their own jobs. He was certain that if we hang On to the freedom of the Government, it will be taken care of. Ald. G.Donald said that ac- cording to the Minister's idea of this, we are not goging to have any depression. Mr. Mitchell said we had One or two lines, and spoke of the SOuth American market with regard to agriculture, and also the manu~actnre of aluminium. Ald. White spoke of the rate of employment at the John Inglis plant. Mr. Mitchell said he thought we had not made many sacrifices in this war. He spoke of the work of Gen- eral Motors in preparing for peace-time operation. Ald. White said they did not do much after the last war, and the Minister reminded him that this was this war. 11. Resolution 'passed at St. Catharines re postwar planning. His Worship Mayor Inglis said that it was expected one million men and women would be tamed back from war industries for absorption and half a million men from the active forces for civilian occupation. Mr. Mitchell said he was not convinced that this country was going to stand still· He had faith in oar resiliencey and imagination. 9. A review of the case of the empty store owned by Mr. James Lococo. Mr. Mitchell advised this matter was r,ot in his department. He thinks the most con- structive thing done by the Government in this war is the control of rent. No country in the world has made by the Government such a contribution to the work- ing classes. The problea has been brought to the Mlnister,s attention by other people in this riding. It is Under the Jurisiiction of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. His Worship Mayor Inglis Outlined the case· Mr. Mitchell asked if anyone had heard the word 'profiteer, in this war, and Ald. G.Donald outlined a case of regulations preventing a person from buying two articles for twin child- rent. Ald. Twidule expressed to the Minister of Labour the appreciation of the Council for his tribute to the work of the women in this war. Ald. G.Donuld asked the Minister what the Council could tell organiz- ations when they asked about postwar planning. The Minister said this was a dem- ocracy. If one looked over the Council or the Government one would see across- section of the people. He felt we should have discussions upon this matter. Sometimes one get~ the soUndest advice from the simplest person. By percushion and discussion we can get all organizations together. The Minister felt a pretty ~ood Job had been done,rip until now, and that all are trying to do the best they can· RESOLUTION The following Resolution was passed: No. 100 - TWIDALE - A.F.DONALD - RESOLVED that the th~nks of this Council be ex- tended to the Honoumble Minister of Laboar for his visit to this Council and for the information extended by him to the various questions prepared by the Council; and the Seal of the Corporation be hereto affixed. 'Carried unanimousl~ His Worship Mayor Inglis conveyed the message to Mr. Mitchell and ex- pressed the wish of the Council and citizens for the speedy recovery of the Right Honourable Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great. Britain. FIFTY-SEllS_ I!.EETING REGUI~R DZETING Cotthe i 1 Cha robe r, December E0 1943. , Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met at 7.30 p.m. to consider Sen- eral business and finance.
