2507 DUNDAS STREET WEST was built in 1868 for Harvey Morris Switzer, one of the most successful businessmen in the Township of Palermo. The large 2 1/2 storey red brick house is an example of the Canadian Farmer Italianate style. Notable features of the house include arched windows, projecting gables with cornice and returns, heavy roof brackets, gingerbread detail on the porch, double hung windows, and a projecting bay window. Significant interior features include original wooden floors, sliding pocket doors made of cherry wood, ornate ceiling mouldings. The house is a highly visible feature along Dundas Street and is an important reminder of the Village of Palermo. ORIGINAL PORTION OF THE OAKVILLE TRAFALGAR HIGH SCHOOL â€" 291 REYNOLDS STREET was officially opened in 1909 by the Reverend Sir Robert Alexander Falconer. The original section of the school was designed by the noted firm of Chapman and McGiffin Architects and built by Carson and Elliot Builders of Oakville. The building is a wellâ€"proportioned composition with the main street elevation featuring three prominent stepped gables and a central recessed entrance with stone trim in the "Collegiate Gothic" form. End elevations featured a smaller gable above a canopied student entrance. The steeply pitched roof, with its fish scale pattern creates an attractive composition. The rear elevation featured the same three gable form but was asymmetrical, with a projecting single storey element. Although most of the original building has been obscured by additions, Oakvilleâ€" Trafalgar High School is highly visible from Reynolds Street.

Judith Muncaster Town Clerk TOWN OF OAKVILLE In 1992, when business has been cutting back, freezing promoâ€" tions, and laying off workers in record numbers, the taxpayers of Oakville paid for 56 civil service promotions. Was this really necesâ€" sary? These people have many benefits others don‘t such as job security, pleasant working condiâ€" tions, chance for longâ€"term advancement, training courses, The 1993 Budget Committee will bring its recommendations for the 1993 Operating and Capital Budgets and Nine Year Capital Forecast to a special meeting of Council to be held on Thursday, February 25th, 1993, in the Council Chamber, commencing at 7:30 p.m. Interested parties are encouraged to attend. The question remains: Where will these people, most of whom budget very tightly, get the money? Their clothing budget? Their food budget? Retirement savings? One million people in Ontario are unemployed. Many in Oakville have been laid off, or had houseâ€" hold pay increases which are lower than inflation. In other words, they‘re going backwards. Yet they‘ll have another four tax increases this year: one from each level of government! A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 1993 BUDGET COMMITTEE What remains however, is yet another tax increase to be paid by people who in most cases have the same or less real income as in 19921 Dear Sir: I was pleased to see the efforts made by the town‘s budget comâ€" mittee to reduce the proposed 7% 1993 tax increase to 2.9%. Under the current budgetary process it was no mean feat. ~ COMMENT Budget system must change f there is one thing any govemnâ€" I ment should know it is that peoâ€" ple don‘t like legislation stuffed down their throats. Look at the GST â€" still a bitter pill for many to swalâ€" low â€" and how Prime Minister Brian Mulroney stacked the deck to get it passed in the senate. People didn‘t like the GST; they liked it less when it was forced on them in such an arrogant, dismissive fashion.

I think not. piece of contentious legislation that the Tories once again want to push through. The arrogance of it all is what takes the breath away. That is, the constant posturing of the federal Tories with the North American Free Trade Pact and their blithe assurance that they will push it through prior to the next election. 1225 TRAFALGAR ROAD + OAKVILLE, ONTARIO + L6J 5A6 in Trafalgar Township which remains 1816 by Amos Biggar and is one igerDread detail on the porch, w.

And Mulroney has already stated he will use his Tory majority in the House of Commons and Senate in the coming weeks and months to win approval to implement the legislation. Obviously not, according to the prime minister whose talent for pushâ€" ing through legislation is second to none. No matter what, he wants to see it approved. around for the answers?

"It‘s what they don‘t say that‘s sobering: Canadians and Americans at the botâ€" And yet, in that same issue, Lester Thurow, dean of the prestigious Sloan management school at the Massachusetts _ Institute _ of Technology, believes the government could use a dose of reality. "If wages were the determining factor in business, why aren‘t all the companies in the western hemisphere already in Haiti?" he asks in a recent newspaper report. They wave a dismissive hand at any detractor of the deal â€" don‘t worry, says trade minister Michael Wilson, our fears are groundless. TUESDAY MARCH 2, 1993 It all comes down to credibility. And it is difficult to place much confiâ€" dence in a government that so arroâ€" gantly plows ahead with such blind determination. They lost all credibility when they stuffed the GST down our throats. And they‘ll lose it again if they push through this deal. I recall when Wilson was in town last year selling the deal, claiming wages and cheap labor will not entice companies down to Mexico. He was, in essence, urging Canadians to trust him; that he wouldn‘t sell a flawed deal. lose their jobs in droves as companies move operations to Mexico to take advantage of lower wages." tom third of the labor market could by Steve Nease
