Monroe Reeve Deputy Reeve Councillor Councillor Councillor The members of the Board of Education and the Public Utilities Com- mission were also present at this meetis. All members of the Council and the Member of the Public Utilities Commission took the ;)ath of Office. The Rev. E. T. Newton gave the prayer of Invocation. Reeve Ben. R. Prior gave the Inaugural address as follows: As Reeve of your Township I congratulate the members of the 1945 Council on their re- election and I Lave pleasure in welcoming a new Councillor, Mr. Elmer (Al) Armstrong to our Council. This is to be Mr. Armstrong's first year as a Councillor of Stamford Town- ship. Knowing his ability as I do I feel that Mr. nrmstrong will prove a capable and efficient administrator in the Township': af- fairs. On behalf of the Council we estend a hearty welcome to Mr. Armstrong and trust that his term of office will be a happy one. I would also like to extend a welcome to the Public Utilities Commission and particularly to Mr. George Powell who has been re- elected by the honour of an acclamation to his 14th year as Com- missioner. I also have pleasure in welcoming to this meeting the Members of our newly elected Board of Education. As members of Stanford's first Board of Education the people of this important Township have entrusted to you the administration of Education in our Municipality. We know that the responsibilities of your office will be great and you have our sincere good wishes for a happy and successful term of office. While the duties of this initial year of your administration will be heavy I have confidence in the decision of the electors who placed their trust in you. I trust that the relationship between your Board and the Council will be of the highest order and I would assure you that this Council is ready at all times to co- operate to the fullest extent. If we can assist you at any time please do not hesitate to meet the Council. I believe that friendly co- operation of public bodies such as yours and the Public Utilities is essential and I will personally advocate and promote this relationship. Before continuing further with my address I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks for the loyality and devotion of all Township officials who have so ably done their work during the last year. Their co- operation is forthcoming at all times and assists more than anything else I can think of to ensure a successful administration of Township affairs. In nay address last January I predicted: that hostilities in Europe would probably cease. This prediction was more than ful filled since to -day we have peace practically throughout the world, and Nations are earnestly endeavouring to adopt and adhere to a policy of "Peace oil Earth, Good Will toward Men" and it is not be- yond the realm of possibility that the United Nations Headquarters will be located in this district. However, with the cessation of hostilities we are confronted with the innumerable problems that Governments and Municipalities have to contend with after a Great War. Chief among these problems is the re- establishment of those .ment and women who defended liberty for us. They have done their ,work well and have won the war. It is up to us to win the peace by overcoming the problems of a Post War era, and see to it that .these men and women are fittingly re- established in civil life. This problem should be kept is mind by the,Counc�in their de- libratione:this' Year. il You are probably aware that in 1944 the Township set up 450,0: K i in a Post War Reserve account for reconstruction of roads, during 1 an additional $25,000.00 was set up for the establishment and maint ance of Public Works. At the appropriate time this will be used f: the work intended and can be utilized to some extent to alleviate u employment conditions that may exist during the time industry is re converting to peace time production or at some other time when the unemployment situation may be critical. Our finances are in excel lent condition and I feel that the Council should keep them that rre Good Municipal financing is essential if the Municipality is to run satisfactorily and I would remind the Council that our position as Councillors is similar to a Board of Directors of a large industry and that you are responsible to the shareholders, who in the Munici pality's case are the electors. We have collected approximately 94% of the 1945 taxes which is a record collection during the last twenty years. Our total debenture debt at December 31st, 1945, amp ed to $'507,989.59 and represents a decrease of $763,835.78 from the total debenture debt outstanding at December 31st, 1934, or in othe K words our debenture debt has decreased by better than 60% since beg ber 31st, 1934. In financing for 1946 I do not suggest that any se vices should be curtailed but rather that in certain cases an imps. ment might be made. At the same time I believe the mill rate shou be pegged at not more than last year's rate. Digressing from generalities I would like to review and make few suggestions or recommendations to the Council of 1946. FINANCE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES Our Public Health Services are provided by Dr. Wrong, Acting Medical Officer of Health, and Nurses Cullimore and Kiemele. It is expected that Dr. A. E. Mackenzie will return from Active Service early in this year and be able to assume his office of Medical Of- ficer of Health, from which he was given leave of absence when he joined the Armed Forces. With Dr. Mackenzie's return consideration should be given to provide facilities for a Township wide Public Health programme. At that time I think that provision should be me' to establish a baby clinic at the north end of the Township in orde that immunization services might be provided. FIRE At this time I would like to compliment the three fire depart- ments inrStamford on their excellent work during the last year: Fi loses have not been great due to the vigilance and efficiency of t several departments. ROADS AND PUBLIC•WORKS DEPARTMENT During 1945 we widened certain roads to 24 feet and reconstruct Orchard Avenue, Dunn Street, St. James St., Crawford St., Brookfiel Ave., and Drummond.Road. In addition to this new construction we maintained our ro`ad system which has a total length of 126 miles. 1 believe that a policy of reconstruction of a certain amount of road each year along with the proper maintenance of the road system is a road programme of development which is desirable and in order to ea out this programme I believe that the mill rate for roads should be maintained at the same figure as last year. During 1945 two new t were ordered, both of which will be delivered during the current mo This year consideration should be given to the replaoement of our Dodge truok with a new vehicle. I believe it is most important the equipment should be in goodpoondition to parry out the programmes the roads and public works departments. I would suggest that the Council purchase, when available, a small tractor with weed cutttn5 attachments, that could be used for cutting weeds on the roads in Summer as well as plowing sidewalks and.olearing intersections of snow in the Winter time. Further consideration should be given to the bulldozer which we ordered last year but have been advised that Coon cannot give a definite delivery date. In the matter of pubs works consideration may be 'given to the ereotion of permanent entraa and fencing of our Cemeteries. This wOrk,.saay be conei4ered if wee faced with-en an uplQyaent 'eituation. Taxes on Crown properties are being discussed at the Dominion Provincial Conference. T'..is matter is very important to Stamford in as much as we have the Welland Chemical Company, the iiydro Electric Power Commission properties and the Wartime dousing; Settlement within our boundaries. In connection with the Wartime Housing situation we will probably be as ied for an extension of their existing agreement with the Corporation this year. Taxes on the Welland Onem.ical Company will depend on whether the plant is disposed and released to a private industry or whether it is to be entirely controlled by the Crown. If it is controlled and operated by the Crown and they are producing pro- ducts that compete with other industries to my mind a grant should be paid. In any event we will watch closely the result of the conference and decisions made regarding taxation of Crown properties at the x 'Dominion Provincial Conference. CROWN PROPERTY RECREATION In regard to sport activities I am strongly of the opinion that adequate recreational facilities should be provided for the youth and adult population of our Township. By makin_ recreational facilities available it will assist in keeping our youth occupied and at the same time it will act as a health builder. This not only applies to the youth of the Township but adults as well who will very likely have more leisure time on their hands due to shorter working hours. In 'my opinion it was unfortunate that the Memorial Recreational Park by- law was defeated at the last election since this plan was considered as a Post War project and submitted to both the Provincial and Federal Governments from whom we expected financial assistance and it would have been a living tribute to those men and women who served in the Armed Forces. However the electors have spoken and this year's Council will therefore confine their efforts in consideration of the develop- ment of the parks presently owned by the Township. POLICE DEPARTMENT Our Police department is at present composed of two men who are called upon to fulfill many duties. They are both on 24 hour call, as a consequence there are many days when they are o611ed to work 12 to 18 hours a day, as well as being called out frequently in the night. There are many problems confronting us in regard to police protection but I would recommend that the Council first determine what funds will be appropriated in 1946 for police protection and than immediately or- ganize the Police Department and services accordingly. In conclusion I wish the Municipal Council, Public Utilities Com- mission, Board of Education, Board of Health, officials of the Township and all. residents of the Municipality a very happy and prosperous 1946. 1.
