| On The Metro Front It will cost Metro $1,030 to get a police station on Dundas Street W. in Etobicoke painted on the inside and outside. Metro The Weston mayor was among those, however, who seriously question the validity of a childâ€" ren‘s summer camp on a partiâ€" cular site on Toronto Islands, There is the growing feeling that Metro is spending too much on: the former sand bar. In . fact Metro is in the process of spendâ€" ing $14,000,000 on the place which can be real cool (weather wise) on some summer days. They still joke with York Township Reeve Jack Mould about the township owning Torâ€" onto Islands. The township‘s jurâ€" isdiction at one time extended out into Lake Ontario to include the islands. York Township has got a new general manager for its hydro commission. He was former asâ€" sistant manager at Brantford. Metro has also authorized a York Township expenditure of $1.260 to provide a new sidewalk on Harvie Avenue south from Redhill Ave. Metro Works.

District Plan 12A is now a public document and distrubutâ€" ed to public bodies for comment by September 15. This is the first district plan of a series of such plans that will form the basis of an overâ€"all North York Official Plan. Of course, this process of public proclamation of district plans and public disâ€" cussion thereon is the direction the 196566 Council have been proceeding, with the hopes that most if not all district plans are before the public by Novâ€" ember 1966. It is only through the public discussion and adopâ€" tion of such plans that the final Official Plan can be formed, and so a pattern of development and also a contro! on developâ€" ment be established for the years to come. District Plan 12A is that area from the Don River east to Vicâ€" toria Park Ave., from 401 to Steeles Ave. Work is now unâ€" derway at the planning staff Jevel on District Plan 11, for the Willowdale area.

It is Board of Control is taking a well earned rest this week but will be meeting again in two weeks time. Council is meeting only once in August, on the 16th. The next meeting of Counâ€" cil will likely be Wednesday morning following JLabour Day. A number of people have callâ€" ed me recently in apprehension concerning the character of the new incinerator. Will there be odours and flyash seems to be the greatest concern. The new equipment and flyash treatâ€" ments proposed for the new inâ€" cinerators will be the newest and best available. The Works‘ Committee will be travelling to New York City and Boston to inspect their incinerators just completed and which have this | particular equipment. It is deâ€" | signed to produce exhaust from | the stack that is substantiailyg steam â€" no odours and virtually | no flyash. The incinerators are ; designed to be kept neat and | trim in exterior appearance, | with lawns and flower borders, | while the storage capacity in | the storage bins inside the inâ€"| cinerator _ should _ enable the | staff to keep the incinerators| spotless inside as well. Depenâ€"| ding upon the amount of monâ€" | ev to be spent it is possible to | virtually disguise the appearâ€" ance of the buildings to make them appear as office or apartâ€" ment type buildings. In fact, there are incinerators in the United States that are so de signed and constructed. 2579 2240 3479 of the conservation authority‘s No Metro official caught the error in a Metro legal departâ€" ment report which stated that two Metro police officers were taking action in the Supreme Court of Ontario for $10,000,000 (ten million) damages each as a result of a police cruisers collidâ€" ing with a motorist. The sum should be $10,000 each. Furthermore, _ the _ railw. track is a natural boundary f« the division of the greater metâ€" ropolitan area because it is cut off by the C.P.R. and it can be serviced only through the facâ€" ilities that are existing in North York. It also affords an opporâ€" tunity to take advantage of the development so that any develâ€" opment taking place would be compatible with that of York University, which extends acâ€" ross â€" Steeles Avenue, â€" from Keele to Jane, with the presentâ€" ly existing development â€" on Steeles Avenue between Bayâ€" view and the eastern boundary, and between the development that is presently planned beâ€" tween â€" Bathurst and _ Keele Streets.

He came in third in executive seats. ‘The population growth of Weston since the year 1900 has been reasonably steady. That It ‘moved up to over 2,000 by 1913, passed the 4,000 mark in York Township‘s population was at the 8,000 mark in the year 1900 to climb rapidly to over 50,000 by 1921 and past the 100,000 mark by 1983, the year Metro government was formed. York Township today has a popâ€" ulation of over 128,000 in 1964. The very principle of breakâ€" ing up the present complexity of the Metropolitan Toronto system was to afford an opporâ€" tunity for the suburban municâ€" ipalities to have a stronger voice on Metro Council. This does not accomplish this objecâ€" tive, ‘and as a result, still gives the City of Toronto a considâ€" erable number of more votes, in fact, it gives them the power that they had before, and would still create, (even if there was a particular problem that did not affect the suburban muniâ€" cipalities), a stalemate between the City of Toronto and the totâ€" al combination of all the Metroâ€" politan ‘ Councils. ®@ L also recommend | that consideration be given to the retention of the present ward system and not the doubling up of all of them as indiccated in the recommendations in the Goldenberg Report and reducâ€" ing them to eight. 1926 and the 8,000 mark 1950 to reach 10,454 by 1964 Township or the City of Scar borough, and the City of Torâ€" onto, then it is evident that the City of North York would not be in a position of achieving its objectives, (it being the only Borough situated entirely to the north).

During their stay, the Air Cadets reside in Tent City, which is equipped with plumbing and electrical facilities, a medical staff, and fire fighting equipâ€" ment. Arrangements have been made for cadets to eat all meals in the Airmen‘s Mess. Many industrial and educationâ€" al tours have been organized.

Daily swim lessons are given under the guidâ€" ance of water safety instructors. These lessons are followed by beach tours and interâ€"squadron swimming competitions. Other â€" activities include _ a model aircraft contest, hobby shop work, and competition for a marksmanship award. A surâ€" vival course at Lake Scootamata is given to some senior cadets.
