Minutes1947(B)1 ^esent The Rev. S. B. Stokes gave the prayer of Invocation. Reeve Ben. R. Prior gave the Inaugural address as follows: I am honoured to be again re- elected Reeve of our Township and as such I wish to congratulate the members of the 1946 Council on their re- election. The people were apj,arently satisfied with your administration for 1946 as the personnel of our Council has not been changed. I also wish to congratulate Mr. Keith C. MacLeod on his re- election by ac- clamation to the ublic Utilities Commission. Lorne Burns, Meredith F. Jones and Warren Kent are to be congratulated on their re- election to the Stamford board of Education. It would appear that the voters were satisfied with the administration of Public Utilities and School affairs. I believe that I would be remiss in my duties if I did not congratulate the members of the Board of Education who took office in 1946. Tf.ese men were elected to a newly organized Board to control the entire ad- ministration of schools. We all realize that they had a big job cut out for them and appreciate the many difficulties that they have been con- i fronted with. However, I feel that they have certainly conducted their administration in a praise worthy manner and now the same Board is to continue I am certain that much progress will be attained during the year 1947. Yours is an extremely important duty since the education of:- our children is of paramount importanpe to the welfare of the Township as a whole. I would also be remiss in my duties as Reeve if I did note' take this opportunity to again express my sincere thanks for the co- L operation shown by Township Officials during the past year. They have performed their work in a creditable manner and in doing so greatly assisted the Council in carrying on a successful administration of Town; ship affairs. During the past year the Country has reconverted from War to Peace time activities. This reconversion has been high lighted by.a great number of difficulties. I believe that the year 1947 should be one of prosperity but the Council should act with prudence in any an tioipated programmes because the situation can change greatly in a dr ea ti 3 F At this time I would like to review some of the work the Council carried out.in 1946 and advocate certain works which in my opinion.'sh 'undertaKen: in 1947. Statutory meeting of the Council Monday, January 6th, 1947, at 11 Ben. R. Prior Simeon Corfield J. N. Allan E. W. Armstrong G. W. Monroe Members of the Board of Education and the were also present at this meeting. All members of the Council and the Member mission took the Oath of Office. During the past year the voters in Fire Area No. 3 voted to have a •fire department of their own in their area. The 420,000.00 provided,',{} in.the money by -law will be used to provide a fire hall, the construoti" f which has been commenced at the corner of High and Glenholme Avenue. .expeet;.;that the hall should be'oompleted in the next three or four li nths.' A modern fire pumper has been ordered for this area and de- Yq very will possibly be made before Spring. Some of the equipment re uired for No. 3 area has already been :purchased. It is my hope that i;4 •the` fire department in No. b area will be established in their new hail with modern equipment betore pf this year. Until the Lundy's Lane-t. re Department oan take over their own area arrangements have been made #ith Stamford Centre., Fire.

E. Mackenzie has returned from active -se: (vice and has assumed his office as Medical Officer of Health. He, tc. gether with Nurses Culllmore and Kiemele, will I mn surelprovidesex (cellent Public Health services during the coming y that year under more ersif guidance Public Heath programme may be set up during this POLICE During the past year the Police force was increased from two men a present staff of nine. rat ors these police act in n the e of op e After the Department t vras increased the administration of the Police Department was placed under the jurisdiction and control of a Police Commission. This set -up was made by authority of the Municipal Act and the necessary by -law was passed which provided that your Reeve, The County Judge and the Magistrate for Niagara Falls would form the Commission. I believe that the Police C s ommiss s i i on is doing e o agd jo in administrating the affairs of the Police under this heading I might made mention that during the year the Council has had a new Court room constructed on the second floor of the Township Hall. We believe this Court to be modern in every re- spect and designed in such a way that all court cases etc. can be handled with dispatch. ROADS During the year 1946 we carried out a considerable road programs and I know that the improvements we have made are in the best intere of the Township. I believe that the mill rate for roads-should be maintained at the same rate as last year in order that we might con- tinue our road im¢rovement programme. I think it is desirable that we should widen the main thoroughfares with a permanent type road -bc We should continue the policy of widening the metal of urban street: We should widen rural roads and if possible place the ditches back the fences. Reinforced concrete tops should be constructed on some our rural bridges and we should consider construction of built -up streets. 'During the past year we have`purehaaed and erected street =.=signs for quite a number of our intersections. I have hedrd many favourable comments regarding these signs and I would advocate that purchase a sufficient number of signs to have one at every intersec in the Township. I believe it is higkrly desirable to complete this work. In 1946 a little over nine miles of our road system were tak over by the County of Welland. This should reduce our reoonstructi cost and at the same time the County should provide excellent road i beds on the three roads involved. The roads taken over were Beaver dam Road, all of the Creek Road, and a portion of Mountain Road. I 1 wish to express our thanks to the residents who owned th'e property i on the roads involved for their oo- operation in making it possible these roads to be conveyed to the bounty. Their co- operation is ve much appreciated. CE ETERI$S During the past year we purchased one acre which will be used a an extension to the Presbyterian Burying Grounds at Stamford Centre We should complete the planting and seeding of this addition and co struot paths throughout. Lundy's Lane Cemetery has been maintained in a very creditable manner. This should be continued and possibly the Council should consider extending this o.emeter "t he nort _a section ortwo on property we own. PUBLIC WORKS 1. Parks should be kept in a•presentable;oondition at-411 times as?we have endeavoured to do in the past. 2. Sidewalks. During the year 1946 we made considerable rdpairs to sidewalks. This programme should be carried on in 1947, in:orde that all"our sidewalks are in.good shape for pedestrian tratfio• 3. Hydrants. The Council should consider the matter of pro- viding hydrants on the Welland Chemical water line along Lundy's Lane and Garner Road. It is expected that this line will be taken over by the Township in the not too distant future. When it is taken over I trust that the residents on these roads will be able to obtain water services as soon as possible. 4. During the past year we have been authorized to construct water mains, sewennains and sidewalks which have been necessary due to the growth and development which we are enjoying. The estimated cost of these local improvements will be y65,000 when completed. PROPOSED PLANKING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD During the past year the Councils of Niagara Falls, Cniupawa, Willoughby and Stamford have appointed a committee to b°ing in a re- port on setting up a planning board for this area. Such a board would zone the entire area in such a way as to provide for residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas and farming areas. I believe that this type of planning is desirable for our Township since we are a growing Municipality and zoning would provide a well planned basis for future development of our Township. It is estimated that our cost ,i for such a board would be in the vicinity of S 6,000 which would be spread over two or three years. This Council should take a very active interest in the formation of such a proposed board. AIRPORT During the past year considerable representations where made to have an airport established in this district. At the present time it appears that our only hope in this connection is to have the St. Cath- •arines airport enlarged. I am of the opinion that we should use our influence to make this into a port of considerable importance in order that it might be compared favourably with such airports as Melton. I believe that it is essential in this modern day that such an airport be established for our district. It would be the means of bringing thousands of visitors to this locality. FINANCES I am pleased to report that our total debenture debt as on December 31st, 1946, has decreased to a figure of $476,545.24. This is the lowest debenture total for the past 21 years and it represents a re- duction of 65.4% from the high point of 1932. It will probably be the lowest figure for some considerable time to come because of the local improvements at present under way and in prospect. Our debenture debt will also very likely have to be increased to provide the additional school accommodation forcast. With approximately 950 of our 1946 taxes collected it represents the best percentage rate we have enjoyed in ove 1 20 years. Further data on our excellent financial situation discloses that at the close of 1935 we awed the bank $167,000.00 on current ac- 1 count; the County $73,285.00 and the schools $12,768.00. Compare this situation to our position on December 31st, 1946,when we did not owe the bank anything on current account and all accounts were paid, more over the financial-accounting will show a considerable surplus. The •Housing deficit which at the end of December 31st, 1941, amounted to over $35,000.00 has been wiped out and the Township has been reimbursed in the amount of $1,825.00 for interest and other expenses incurred during the deficit years. Another interesting feature is that at the close, of the depression the Township had acquired over 600 lots by way of tax sales. These lots have all been disposed of now and substantial houses have been erected on many of them. To indicate the healthy de- .velopment taking place we should note that building permits were issued totalling $852,404.00 in the year 1946. CROWN PROPERTY You are probably aware that the Welland Ohemiodl Company has been sold by the Crown to the North American Cyanamid Company. During the time it was operated by the Government Stamford did not receive any taxes on this industry. However, sinoe December 1st, 1946, the proper has become taxable and will inorease our taxable assessment by noticeable degree In the larger sphere of our cz ensh ip as from the whole n ttinkrmanships 4. it at this time under Legislation i this year a definite basis roudatodbenknownzassBritish subjects and( ti and while are re p to every good that hat we we will rill continue e to be such, it is gratifying Canadian that we may now be able to describe ourselves legally as Canadian citizens. In conclusion I would state on account ofhaverecenteillness,tfr which I em only convalescing, regret mention many matters that probably should be spoken of. It is my sincere wish that the Municipal Council, The Public Utilities Com- mission, Board of Education, Board of Health and officials of the Township will co- operate to the fullest extent during the year 1947.itation To you all and to the residents of Stamford I wish a very Happy and prosperous New Year. 1 1 Address Flowers Rev.

Mr. Pringle acted as spokesman of the Canadian National representa and at the outset of his address he stated that the Canadian Natio Railways desire to replace street oars in Niagara Palls and Stamfo with buses. He stated that they wish to -do this since they realiz that the servioe is inadequate for the present requirements of the residents of the district, and also because public demand insists the ohange from street oars to buses.

The same agreement would be extended 'to the Suburban Road Committee relative to that part of Portage Road :between Murray and Stanley as in the case of the agreement with the Township respecting Lundys Lane. ;5. If the Township could arrange to have the paving_ on Lundys Lane constructed after the ties and rails were taken out the buses could 'be provided as soon as the work is complete. 6. He proposed a new agreement with the Corporation for fifteen years with a renewal option of fifteen years. The agreement would be voted on by the ratepayers and would have to be ratified by a special act of the Provincial Government. The agreement_ would specify that if fares were not sufficient the Council and the Canadian National Railway Icould by agreement increase the rates. The proposed agreement would also specify that one year's notice could be given by the Railway to the Township after the first three years if the Railway found that it 1 was not profitable. 1.

That the Commission members be thanked for their ef- forts; but due to the need for stringent economy re feel the time is not ripe for the setting up of a recreation program on such a large scale. We are convinced of the benefits derived from such a programme and firmly believe in the principles of Re- creation; but faced with increased costs to the Muni- cipality such as- 1. County rate increase. Reports of count' conmiittees at last session all show there will be additional costs especially in Roads! costs. 2. Additional Educational costs, including a probable $160,000.00 construction programme. 3. Increased costs of general expense eg: administ- ration, salaries and rising costs of materials. 4. Additional local improvement costs due to building expansion, necessitating additional sewer and water lines plus roads built. We believe that this course is best in the interests of the taxpayer, and we earnestly request all organi- zations to carry on Community programmes. We also recommend that the Drummondville Community Memorial Hall be turned over during the daytime school hours to the Board of Education for an additional schoolroom.(This was done in St.Catharines.) and in return the Board defray janitor, light and heat costs, and it be used in the eveLipg as at present by the Drummondville Tenant Council.
