Parish at the Inaugural meet- ing, Tuesday evening. Following is part of His Wor- ship's inaugural speech to coun- cil and the citizens of Ajax: "In my address this evening, I wish to concentrate on a few of the major problems which face the 1962 Council. "In the first place, the Coun- cil must continue to devote its every effort to attract more in- dustry. Last vear the Industrial Commission displayed great ini- tiative in advertising Ajax by using a display booth at the Canadan National Exhibition. We were the only town in Can- ada to do so. This idea worked well and gained for the town much favorable publicity. "Present plans are that Ajax will again be on display at the Canadian Nationa) Exhibition in 1962. The Industrial Commis- sion is one. of our most impor- tant civic bodies. "This commission would be a great deal stronger and more effective in getting industry for Ajax if a member from each of our principal land development companies -- Duffins Creek Es- tates Limited and Slough Es- tates (Canada) Limited -- was made a full member of the In- dustrial Commission. "These companies and the In- dustrial Commission have already been working as a team. Let us now bring these companies officially on to the Industrial Commission. In this way, the commission and the developers can explore every avenue for the industrial pro- motion of this town "Let us never forget that the financial ability of the town to pay its way and to provide the municipal necessities of life de- pends to such a great extent on industry. We have maintained a good balance of industrial and residential assessment. This balance will only be retained if we get out and work to attract more industry to the town. NEED CAPITAL LEVY "Secondly, the Long Term Capital Works Study begun by the 1961 Ajax Planning Board as a preliminary study and pre- sented to council last November, should be completed by our staff and finance committee and adopted by council as early as possible this year. "The Planning Board's work on this report has been ex- tremely thorough, efficient and comprehensive. "If we are to provide our town with its needs in an order- ly manner, careful planning of our capital finances is essential. We must know what services will be needed, how much they will cost, when we must pro- vide them, and how they can be paid for. "In this regard, I have sug- gested before the idea of a cap- ital levy on the mill rate to provide for certain needs which do not involve major expendi- tures but which are too costly Uses Ownership | As Security, Draws $9 Fine BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- An unemployed Pontypool man who parted with his car owner- ship certificate as security for a $30 personal loan, found him- self in hot water in Bowman- ville Magistrate's Court Tues- day: he was fined $5 or three days for failure to produce it upon request. Wendell Conant, who also pleaded. guilty to public intoxi- cation, drew. an additional $5 or three days penalty. An Ontario Provincial Police constable told*Magistrate R. B. Baxter he foand the accused's to pay for out of one year's taxes. Such a capital levy would help the municipality to re- duce the heavy debt charges which accompany borrowing. END GARBAGE BURNING "Thirdly, 1962 must be the year when we bring to an end the burning of garbage in the town dump. We must find a way to institute sanitary land fill this year. There are many reasons for this. ' "First, with the development of the town and the building of a new hospital, we cannot have residents and industry annoyed further by the smoke nuisance. "Secondly, the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conserva- tion Authority will purchase the valley of Duffin's Creek in Ajax this year. "We cannot blight what will be a beautiful parkland and recreation area with our pres- ent dump. We must clean it up by using sanitary land fill. I request the Works Committee to put this subject at the top of their agenda. "As each year passes by, I am pleased and impressed with the beautiful appearance of the Harwood Avenue boulevard. Mr. Reed and his staff try to make this a show place with a very limited budget. "To encourage our citizens and our Parks Department, I would recommend to council that we begin in 1962 a defi- nite policy to plant so many trees each year on our streets, in our parks, and on our boule- vards, so that the pleasing ap- pearance of the Harwood Ave- nue boulevard and our streets in the north part of town will become general*ver the whole town. "I realize the limitations of money but if we planted 100 to 200 trees per year, the cost would be small and within five to ten years we would have rich results. "In addition, some tree plant- ing and landscaping will have to be done around our new pool to give it a park-like setting. We should continue to work as closely as possible with the Hor- ticultural Society to increase the beauty of our town. STAKT TOWN CEMETERY "Now that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conserva- tien Authority will definitely purchase the Duffin's Creek Val- lay this year, I would like to see 1962 as the year in which the chased and a start made to- wards its development. "The 1961 Finance Committee made a good start on this proj- ect, but was held up for a num- ber of reasons which should dis- appear by mid-1962. "The Finance and Legislative Committee can begin at once to work on a Cemetery Bylaw f Ajax with the assistance of Mr' Fajby ana our Town Solicitor. "The Metropolitan Toronto Pianning Board is establishing a Tevhnical Committee on Water- front Flanning from Clarkson to Ajax. Ajax will be invited to name a representative to this Technical Committee some time in the future. "Both the 1961 Council and Pla..ming Board welcomed this step and agreed to give their co-operation. We are very grati- fied to see that Ajax will be represented by its own represen- tative on that Committee. This is a principle we have fought for over the years. 'However, this raises another prebicm. The Town has zoned most of our lakefront as public open space for greenbelt and parks for the recreation of the geueta) public. 'No one would deny that the provision of public open space on the Lake Ontario shore is valvable to Ajax and the whole surrounding area. The recrea- tion an¢ beauty prospects are almost limitless. "Last year, I urged that plans be made 'at once to purchase vehicle parké] on the cent boulevard of (22): , oy Conant "'staxgvriig about near it" on Dec. 30. Upon arrival at Bowmanville this land, It is cheaper now Sx ye. Each year cial -- to purchase this land. A study should be made to ascer- tain whether or not there are grants. If the senior govern- ments do not provide grants ior these purchases, we should do our best to see that grants are forthcoming. "Second, we should work out a luwn pian for the orderly ac- qu.silion of lakefront land. If we purchased what we could afford each year out of taxes, we could gradually acquire the shore lakefront. 'lf an acre of the lakefront could be acquired for $2,500 and each year we acquired two or three acres starting at the Water Purification Plant and going west, we would soon have a sizeable lakefront park, or perhaps we could enter into an ag)eement with the developer of the !and to give us this land as the 5 per cent he must give us lin a subdivision when he sub- divides. "This is an idea which the Planuing Board has talked of in the past. Some way must be founa. This is an area which will be of value to the people of Ajax and the surrounding area as a public park for gen- eratons, The Finance and Parks and Property Committees shouid co-operate to solve this problem, WIDEN HARWOOD AVE. "1961 has seen the completion of the two new bridges over Highway 401 and the Canadian National Railway. This is a great improvement to the en-| trance to the Town. The new | lighting will make Ajax visible} for .niles. "During the building of these bridges, the Town Engineer and| the "Vorks Committee have been studying the possibility of widen- ing Harwood avenue to a four-| lac highway north to the Town limits. | "With the Installation of a new/ storin sewer by the Department of Highways during the con- struction of the new bridges, the| widening of Harwood is now) feasible. | "Tue widening would involve | new street lighting with under-| yreund wiring up to the north| limits. Cost, of course, will gov- | ern whether this project can be) done or not. However, plans Town Cemetery site is pur-jcapi years could pay for the project without any borrowing, | "Now that the Assessment De- | partment has completed the | street numbering of all Ajax in- | dustries, I would like to see the | erection of street signs naming | ail the streets in the industrial | area. This is long overdue and will help to get rid of a number | ef unsightly signs which have| outhved their usefulness. "TLe Council should again ap- point the Special Committee on/ the Municipal Parking Lot. With! the 1e-opening of the Steinberg Supermarket early in the year, paiking problems will be much grcaier than ever. Consequent- y, the Works and Police Com- mitiees and the Council will need to study the sound and| comprehensive plans prepared by the Town Engineer and last year's Special Committee. Again, the costs and method of payment will be the aspect which will need the most study. "Yhere is in the air possibility of changes in the form of' gov- ernment of Metropolitan Toron- to, These changes could have repercussions for Ajax. The| members of Council should keep a close watch on developments in that direction and especially on any new Provincial legisla- | tion We have tried to preserve 2s incependent a status as pos- sibic. This, to me, must con- tinue to be our policy. However, changes are. coming and will | cume and we must study any changes in order to seek the best advantages for the citizens of our Town." the parchasé is postponed, the more expensive it will become.
