'~IAYDR'S INAUGURAL ~JDDRESS
"To Members of the Board of Aldermen,
"At this inaugural meeting of the Council for the year 1945, I offer my
congratulations to the members of the previous council who retain the confidence of
the elec.tors by being returned to office. To the Newly elected member I also extend
congratulations and I am sure that the council, as constituted, while honestly diff-
erir~ at times in our opi.nions, will work in harmony in the interests of those who
elect you to your high office. I ask you for your co-operation through what may'be
a difficult year because of existing world conditions. I take this opportunity c~
thanking the members of various civic boards, the executive officers and members cf
the staff for their co-operation and I extend on your behalf our sincere appreciat-
ion and best wishes for the coming year.
,,During the past year, there was some indication that the War may be
reaching climatic period and the post-war yea~s were viewed with some concern. LOcal
8overnments were advised to set up post-war planning and development committees so
that each municipality would assume lt's part of. the post-war task of rehabilitation
and reconstruction. We are deeply raindfal of the moral responsibility which rests
upon the nation to restore to gainful post-war employment, the men and women of the
fighting services and those presently employed in the defence industries. This City
can be depended upon to play it's part and during the past year the post-war committee
was form.ed and several important problem were presented to you for your consideration.
Plans under discnssien include;-
A modern airport for the Niagara Distrio t.
Removal of transmissionl li~nela ~o ,permi.tfurther development .Of the City ~n a
1
3. Replacesent of street ears by bus lines.
4. Erection of a convention hall.
5. Elimination of grade crossings.
6. New school buildings.
~. Better facilities for tourist accommodation.
Conferences have been held ~,dth GOvernment representatives to carry these
projects through to a successful conclusion and I suggest you continue to give these
matters serious consideration in implementing a post-war progra~m. It is apparent
that the voluae of financing required for the kini of a post-war public works pro-
gram likely to be needed is completely beyond the limited revenue scope or credit
resources of local goverm.~nt, and, in this respect, I quote the statement OF the
tdnister of Reconstruction who said recently, ,'he could n~ke no guarantee of fin-
ancial aid for cities but said any municipality with a well developed plan could
be reasonably sure of assistance. That governments v.ould rather spend on useful
employsent providing projects than in district relief". Your Post-War Planning
Co~;ittee should be liven every support.
"During the War years the Council has reduced the mill rate to assist
in th~ war effort. This has, in part, been made possible through economies offsated
by dererr~.d maintenance, curtailment of non-essential services, the reduction in
debt charges, and, the application of reserve funds.
"The present Px~vinsial Goverm~nt has authorized educational grants to
approxD~tely fifty .~ercent of the costs of education, the purpose being to relieve
the burden of taxation on property, since education is n~v considered a forts of
social service and the cost of social services are increasing at a tremendous rate,
~r~ will continue to do so in the Post-war period. It is stated that the burden
should not be placed on property ovaere alone. It is therefore charged that these
grants should be passed on to those to pay t]~e cost of municipal service.
".~.ia,v I warn our citizens against over optimism in further reduction of
the tax rate became of provincial grants, which in my opinion, arelong overdue.
Consideration must be given to the overhauling of the municipal revenue structure,
beauuse it now relies primarily On taxes against property and mo~e specifically
against real estate.
"to offset education grants the local government has been burdened in
most part through government legislation with
1. Increase in costs of health and hospitalization.
g. Exemption from taxation of Crown properties.
'3. Increase in costs of fire protection and the rolecaries ~f fire halls· in the
ln~ediate future.
4. Post-War Planning and Development.
5. ~U~enile delinquency and the necessity for ~uvenile Court.
6. Increase costs of law enforcement.
8. Backlog of deferred maintenance.
9. Demand for increased services (shay removal, etc.) ~/~·
10. Demand for increased recreational facilities.
11. The necessity for renewal of capital plant and equipment.
"While our budgets have been e.n..~e~.d.~sf~,l.,,.,e:~,r,~.$
~:'~ih"'~'~:t~b~',$i~+ any system of budgetting which requires th~ use of reserve funds.
to meet a balanced budget and I would warn that such ~raeti ee will eventually lead
~to serious diiTi~ul4~y. If reserves are to be used they should he applied against .
..debt reduction, purchase of 'capital equ!B~ent or earmarked for sPecific, Poet-War
capit~l development. ' .... : .* , ,~, ,~.: :, ,
· , .: · ..... , .~ . :
...... .
"I else cell your attention to use of public utility surplus funds for
tax reduction before depreciation reserves are set up for replacement or rene~.'~als.
Depreciation is now written off as debt charges are reduced, but, reserves should
be set up for new installation for protection against any disturbances in water
supply which is a most serious matter, and while nay have not been of long duration,
have been frequent enough to warrant attention.
'~Pe~s~nnel of the staff should receive some consideration. Tke staff of
this City is far below that maintained by other cities of comparative size, and so:.~s
vision of the future should be implemented through training of junior personnel to
· prevent dislocation in times of emergency. An overvDrked staff is not a compliment
to any Corporation. Passing responsibilities to the Executive does not relieve the
elected representatives of their responsibility.
"Representations have been rode to the Provincial Covex'n~:nnt by L~unicip.sl
Associations that the Governnnnt publicize proposed legislation of i.~unicipal con-
cern before presentation to the Legislature for adoption. This is of such im~ort-
anee particularly from a financial point of view that I s~Zgest you support t[~is
contention by resolution.
'I~ay I. on your behalf, express appreciation to those who are giving
voluntarily of their tim and effort in auxilia~ War Services. It is impossible
at this time to enumerate the work of all t~e several conulittees and organir:ations
but we hope they will accept the recognition of the important functions they perform.
We have been able to conrotund the services of the most successful leaders of our
cormunity, who, through civic pride, are able to promote our best interest, but, the
present year is bound to demand greater sacrifices, greater hardships, stricter
regulations of our normal activies due to War. Continued service is necessary in
an all-out war effort in support of the ~n and v~Dmsn who have been called to the
colours. 'fine spirit of determination and unity will entail no sacrifice too Crest
end 'Our City will do it's part.
"The year 1945 is before us and there is vision for the future. Practical
planning is necessary to implement that vision in the Post-War world. We ~'dll not
forget the promises made to those in the Armed Forces and in dedicating ourselves
to the preservation of human rigj~ts, let us keep faith ~,d th the men and ~on~n in
the Armed Forces in rehabilitation into civic life and occupation. While we are
mindful of the sorrow brought to many homes through the loss c~ lovOd ones, is it
too much to say that this coming year will be ~Dre hopeful ? Let us pause in silent
tribute to the brave men and v,omen who have n~de the supre~e sacrifice in the service
of our country so that our ideals may live. Let us realize our obligations to their
dependents and to the men and v.~men in our Armed Forces who are vdlling to Give their
all for the e~We of freedom and j~tstice. From the depths of our hearts and of our
spirit, we offer thanks and pray to be worthy of the tract v~ich is ours to help
guide humanity to an enduring peace.
"In this spirit I extend to one and all the compliments of the Season and
~ wish for the New Year is that it will bring us victory. That the men and women
in the Armed Forces will be able to spend their hext Christmas at home and at peace."
His 'Worship, M~yor Inglis then presented Major Robert/3uckner, of the
Canadian Anny, who returned to his home in this City for a thirty days' leave after
five years' service overseas. Major Bucknor expressed than~ for the welcome home
accorded him by the },R~vor and members of the citizens' aconites, and, said he hoped
that, as the men and women return from overseas, the same welcome vdll be given to
them. He praised the work of the Red Cross and ether auxiliary services and the
citizens for the v~rk they are going for the trepps in Italy.. Blood donors were
'also praised by Major Bucknor.

MISCELY~0~I~
In connection with the demobilization of Civilian Defence Precaution,
Ald. Twidsle arose and stated us follows;-
"Now that the Civilian Defence Committee of the Dominion Government has
decided to disband the organization formed in 1942 when the danger of attack by
air neereed imminent and measures had to be taken wi~h haste to provide protection
in vulnerable areas. Public meetings were called and responded to most heartily
by. volunteers anxious to emulate the fine example set by the civilians of England
in alefence of their Country. Our Ctty ~nager was appointed Regional Officer
with full authority in this District and proceeded at once to name key men to
curry out their importsat duties with the required speed, accuracy, coolness and
efficiency in this front line of Civilian Defence.
To make the set-up complete the Police, Fireman, Doctors, nurses, public
utilities, transportation and welfare auxiliaries 'were requis&tioned. Then, well
and thoroughly instructed in the exacting duties they might be called upon to
perform, practice blackouts gave the workers an opportunity to become familiar
with what might be a grim reality if the enemy managed to get through.
Through all this period of anticipation and stress there was entire co-
operation of the A.R.P. and the public; giving all a calming sense of security
s.a now that the main attacks of the War are concentrated on the heart of our arch
enemy, we can relax our preparations for defance and humbly offer our grateful
thanks to Almighty God for being spared this peril and punishment; with a fall
realization that His blessing rested on this organization which showed such a
Valiant spirit in self-belpf,,lness."

~ you are av:are the Provincial Covertssept have ~rovidod much larger

$ 84~868.27
In 1945 the .Beard of Education estimates Fovide for expenditures of
$o0 873.71 in excess of the 1944 Budget. As a result the Net ~U.'.,ount to be raised
~ ,
by taxation for the Beard of Education for the ye~n' 1945 is less than the ah~aount
in 1944 by $ 84,868.27
less~ 20,873.70
~r ~ 63,994.56
In the year 1944 in order to establish a rate of 31 mills it was necessary
to use the sum of $67,463.15 from Surplus Reserve. In other words wc borrowed this
amount from our Surplus. Tais b~d'a very definite affect on ou~ cash balance at the
end of 1944 as can be seen from the follo,~i~Z figures;~
Cash on H~d December 31s t,1943
Cash on ttand December 31st,1944
Decrease
$264,825.66
The reduction of the amount of cash on Mnd on December 31nt,1944 is
not due entirely to the amount of Reserves borrowed to establish a rate of 31
mills because in addition equipment costing $26,792.50 was purchased and .raid for
from the Reserve. However, after the operations for the year 1944 were completed
we had $73,000. less cash than at the first of the year.
The estimated expenditures for 1945 are considerably in excess of those
for the year 1944 and the folioring items aremainly responsible for the increase;
1. Grant to Niagara Peninsula Sanatorium
2. Portion of Post-War Planning Committee Expends
3. City Share to establish a Family Court $
4. Cost of Preliminary ~ork to develop Morse Eats
5. Estimated cost of manholes for disposal of.
6. Illumination of Falls
7. Increase in salaries in Fire Dept. to provide
for additional men put on staff late in 1944 $
8. Increased appropriation for snow removal
9~ Increased appropriation for new equipment
10. Increased appropriation for constraction of
new water mains

This is equivalent to mere than three mills on the tax rate.
In the year 1944 an amendment was adopted by the Provincial
. which provides that in preparing the estimates the Council shall make
for a surplus of any previous year viiioh will be available during the
· '.and shah provide for any operat~r~ deficit of any previous year. In

Y~tcr a careful scrutiny of the estimted expenditures and revenue
it was apI~rent that it would be impossible to reduce the ordinary expenditures
very materially or to inere~'~se the anticipated ordinary revenues. I would draw
to yottr attention especially the fact that the annual payment for debt charges
affecting the mill rate is only ~2,585, below the an~ount required in 194~.
In rosenmending a mill rate there are tvn possible choices. The first
choice is to recomnend a rate of Z5 mills which will raise sufficient revenue to
met the requirements for the year 19~5 without borro~'dnC from the Surplus Reserve.
This should result in maintaining the cash position of the municipality as at
present. 'l~.e second choice is to reset!mend a rate of 51 mills, the same as in 1944,
which ~'~ll require that ap]roxinntely $40,000. vDuld have to be used from Surpl~m
Reserve and at the end of the year ~lll undoubtedly result in the cash position
of the municipality being affected by that amount.
In veiw of the fact that I consider it advisable to maintain the
present financi'~l position of the municipality unimpaired so that there till be a
reserve to meet Post-l';ar conditions I have no alternative but to recommend the
adoption of a mill rate that will raise the revenue to meet the ~equirements of
the year 1945. I therefore rsco~r.,~end to Council that a rate ~f 33 mills be
adopted for the ye~tr 1945.
See By-La.w Nmmber 3627.
At this point, Ald. G. Donald protested increasind the mill rate and
stated as follows;
"At the outset I want to state that ~ am definite~ly opposed to the tax
rate boles raised tvs mills this year. I believe that at the least the B~dget
could have been pared down so as there would have bern no increase in taxes this
year since the Provincial Govt. has been good enou~ to pay ~103,000. this year
towards the cost of education.
There is no doubt in Hy mind that as far as business and industry are
concerned they do not oppose the taxes being raised, mainly because all taxes
paid by business and industry are t~ken off their Income Tax Reports and no
incor~ taxes have to be paid on monies paid out on municipal taxation. The small
property ovmer does not have the privilege of deducting his taxes for income tax
purposes. I believe that when taxes are bein~ levied that all classes are to be
considered arfi v~nile so~e people are makim~ more money to-day than they have in
previous years you have not taken into consideration the low wage earner, the
Old Age Pensioners, Widows with families and soldiers, families ~o have had very
little increase in revenues and who have been strugglin~ for the past few year~
v~lth the increased cost of living and cannot afford to pay higher municipal taxes.
I read an editorial in the Evening Review the other night which stressed
the point of those who lost their homes and businesses throu~ high taxation and
I do not believe we should go back to these days where we have registered properties
for non-payment of taxes. 'Regarding the salary question -_ in this year's B~dget
I note that over 251~,000. has been gramted for ireteased salaries to other boards
~?h~le the City employees have b~d Practically no increase whatever, which I disagree
wi t h.
In 1944 This Council spent ~23,000. over their Badget besides taking over
$30,000. out of Reserves for new equipment, which totals over ~53,000. more th~n
t',~ =ct up in the ~hdCet. P~ Chaiman of ~Xnance last year, I am in the s~ne
position as our'present Chairman, all that I do is sit in the Chair and put the
motions that are made regarding exPenditur~s or otherwise and I do not.think that
this spending over ~ ,000 more than what was Provided for last year was good
%3 .
business.
9finis year's !~Adget calls for an increase in expenditurjs of over
$90,000. with Practically no major expenditures Provided for. It is no secret
far as I ~ concerned that in 1944 we took $6?,463. out of Reserves to balance as
the I~Adget, but,as that has been the Practice in the seven years that I have been
in the Council and has been my policy to give the surpluses back to the taxpayer
where it belonged that in the last seven years we have tsj~en oUt of Reserves to ·
balance B~dgets over ~256,000. while our surpluses in those years have amounted to
over $2gl,000. which means that up to the end ~f 1944 we have used. only approx-
imately $35,000~ in the last seven years but of surpluses to balance the B~dgets
and at the end of 1944 we still have Cash on tI~nd of over $191,000. or Cash Equi-
valents and Tax Arrears amounting to $240,000.
The M~or stated ~t the Special Meeting of March ~nd that increasing
the mill rate was not warranted unless the surplus is earmarked for soma definite
· PurPose.~lle I agree that we de ha?e"a~,SurpIus I do not think it should be ear-
,:~arked for any specific l~Arpose as you know that this ~Adget was Passed at the
Special Finance Meeting by a vote of
out. of Surplus had-to be 3 to ~ with the motion reading that $150,000.
, -[ · , ~: , earsarked-.~br.-a mew.,~Ctty ilall, ,whereas.. there· are
~ ' "'- ' ' a number'
f projects that niCht come uF any day that will be :'!ore -necessary Z.kar_ a Cit" -"~!
such as a pipe line - we only have one pipe line tc the Filtration Pl::nt :ind if
anything ever happened to this pipe line the City would just be out of r:ate~- ani
it is my belief that an additional pipe line should be installed fm~m the ~ltr~tiox;
Plant to the City.
We also have the Canadian National Railway goin.-: to take the busses off
the road at the cessation of hostilities and there is no d,-lubt but wh::t it will
take a considerable amount of money to see that the streets are put into first
class shape when the rails are taken up and, if this .~150,C00. of our Surplus is
deposited in Toronto under the Department of Municipal -~fairs, earmarked for a
new City Hall, it is doubtful rfi~en we :':ill be able to make use of it. ~ks I h~ve
stated before that I am definitely opposed to the increased ~mil! rate. It is a!sc
my belief that If we :vast to compete with neighboring municipalities re..jZardin~; t!ne
building of ne;v homes and new iudustries, we cannot increase the mill r~te w! i!e
the neighboring municipalities are decreasing their mill rate. I :vould move an
amen~buent, Lhr. L!ayor, that the Finance Co~nittee go back into Session and p~rs tke
Dadget do~ln to at least 31 mills so that there r.dll be increase in taxes". Zaere
~'ms no seconder to this motion.
A full discussion was entered into by the me:nbers of Council prior to
the introduction of the by-la~v.

Reserve providing they were included in the 1945 Dadget, therefore the Reserve
would have to be shov,n on the expenditure side and also on the revenue side. 'ibis
method of dealing, with the subject v:ould not affect the mill mate. Mr. ~.ray also
advised that the money so set up for Reserves would be invested· by is: Corporation
an~ remain under it's control. ·

lady companions of his were bathing in an eddy of said river. One of his compan-
ions seemed to get caught in the dora streem current and the other COmpanion went
to her aid. Without regard for his own safety and irrespective of his handicap,
Wills plunged into the river and rescued bo~h of then by his timely action. Mr.
Rcbb pointed out to Council that heroism of this type is usually hencured when the
party has eel physicel abilities and when it is considered that this young man has
both legs amputated through his services in the War and has not yet fully recovered
from this disability, it surely marks him as an outstanding hero. On behalf of
Clifford Wills, Mr. Robb stated that he was greatly privileged and hencured to be
chosen to present this case end requested that the Council as representatives of the
citizens of Niagara Falls be requested to consider this legless veteran and grunt
him some token of appreciation f~om and on behalf of the Citizens of Niagara Fells.

delegation present and pointed oct that this is a g[ifficult and perplexing problem
in the minds of a great many people at the present time, - how to spend Sundays.
.Some of the old standards are being questioned. Although ways of thin~tng and liv-
ing are changing as time goes on, there are some things that we are slow to give up;
those things that have contrihxted a good deel to the b~ilding up of the finer thirgs
in our Nation. One of these has bean one day in seven free from labour, giving the
working man chance to have one day to himself., un~ for meditation, prayer and rest
and quiet. Different coontries have different interpretations and we here in Can-
ada have takm our lead from England and Scotland. Inthose two Coontries SUnday
has been highly cherished and there is now a tendency that has been creepir~ in
· ~'x~m other lands to weaken respect of this d~. We are rather afraid bf the en-
Croachment of the thought that has come f~em France ~ other European countries
that this. de~ is. ~ day of. recreation. We feel that this' 'is a step 'baclcw~xrd and
partly from this point of view and from the 'point of view of religion as ex~essed
in the eomnunications presented to CounCil to-night from t~ different Churches
and s/so from the educational point of view and the common man's point of view the
delegation is e-~ous to see that this day is retained as a day of rest. Rev.
.Fingland continued by saying that the~ were certainly sonearned with the spirituse
welfa~ of all the people and it is the ~-neero of many in high positions and in
a~ministrative positions in our country and on behalf (f the delegation present Mr.
,Fingland earnestly requested the Clt~ C~un~l n~ to ma~ the wox~: ~ the Churches

originate from the Oommission as they are now familiar with etreet lighting than
Council. He advised that this meeting was being held for the purpose of some plan
.fqr a general brightening up of the City.

Council Chamber,
December 17, 1945.
Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met at 7.30 p.m. on Monday, Dec-
ember 17, 1945, to consider ge~leral business and finance. All members of the City
Council, were Iresent, with the exception of Aid. Miller. The Council, having rec-
eived and read the minutes of the previous meeting, adopted these on the motion of
Aid. 0liver and Aid. Scott. An amendment, moved by Ald. G.Donald and Aid. Tvddale
that the minutes of the Irevious meeting be adopted with the words 'Carried Unan-
imously, in connection with resolution No. 128, stricken from the record, was def-
eated.
DEI~dTATION
In connection with By-law No. 3742, re the early closing of automobile
service stations, His Worship Mayor Inglis advised that a deputation was present.
It was ordered on the motion of Aid. Scott and Aid. Twid~le that they be heard.
Mr. D.G.Webb advised Council the reason for the appearrace ~f the deputation at
.the meeting. They wished to find out the mason for the delay in passing the by-
law as the petition was signed by a majority of the stations in this City. Mr.
Webb was of the opinion that all stations are behind the petition and therefore
are unable to see any reason why the by-law has not been passed by Council. The
object of the petition was to establish an eight hour ds~. A system had bean ar~
ranged for the operatian of four or five stations every Sind~V, this has been in
effect ever since gas rati aning ended.
AId. Barr advised that he understood that one or two stations were not
going tO live up to ~le by-law. In eferring to the petitiou, Aid. Barr stated
that the number of repair shops selling gasoline is not known, trot they are on the
petition forcing gasoline stations to close. The gasoline dealers alone should have
a petition and the garages should be on a separate petition.
AM. Scott, at the request of Aid. Miller who was unable to be present
at the meeting, quoted from a comauntcation from the City Clerk of Hamilton in cou-
necti on with a case which had heal brought before the Magistrate,s court in connec-
tion with a violation of a by-law providing for the closing within certain hours
of automobile service stations. The Clty's charge for keeping open was dismissed
as the alefence was that the major pertion-of the business did not relate toS~s-
oltne service stations,
Aid. 011vet was of the opinion that the Petlttcners should acqutant
themselves with some of the technicalities in the by-law. This by-law is not
going to stand up. Garages can sell gasoline after 7.O0 p.m. Instead of closing
at 7, should remain open, to supply Jobs for those in need of them. AId. 0liver
further stated that it was not in the best intorest of the City but there was no
alteraatlve but. to pass the by-law, because of the law. His Worship quoted from
the City Soltcitor,s letter of November ~-~, 1945, and stated that according to the
Municipal Act it wan the duty of Council to pass the By-law. Aid. Donald stated
that the l~inictpel Actshould be areaided. All the stations should remain ope$, as
this would satisfy the pabltc and give more mm employment. ORDERED on the motion
of A/d, Scott and Ald. Twidale that Rule 36 (2) of the Sten~ng l~les of Council
be temporarily suspended and l~,-law No, ~742 be given a second reading. LOST '
