Page 2 â€"â€" THE WESTON TIMES â€"â€" Thursday, February 3, 1966 Mr. Trimbee‘s recent lotter on the question of garbage disposal gives a lot of food for thought. Garbage disposal has been a problem ever since man first dwelt together in settled communities. When I was a boy in Engâ€" land 70 years ago. the counâ€" cil of our town of about 7.000 contracted out all town serâ€" vices. The garbage contractâ€" or, a hired cart and a livery man, used a meadow . to dump garbage and there he had men to immediately proâ€" cess it for commercial uses. Cinders were screened and salvaged coal and cinders were sold to the brick makâ€" Dear Sir Haward G. Ashbourne, B.A 4 KING, STREET CH 45547 8 f 1944 Weston Road Opposite John Street Weston. Ont.

Everyone of them was eventually rejected. In one case, the owners were asking far too much, in another there was no public transportation nearby and in a third, the site was too small. Last year at the reeve‘s request, planning board deferred its decision to recommend whether the building should go up, in order to give the planning staff time to see if suitable alternate sites could be found. The curious part of the study howâ€" ever, was a point system that rated each proposed site higher than the Cummer Avenue property. If the site was beside a park, it rated four points. â€" _ The reason the Cummer site was so low on points was that s==eone decided that the site was beside a _ For some reason, however, Reeve James Service is determined that senior citizen housing will never be built on the corner of Cummer and Willowdale Avenues. Barrister Notary Evenings by North York planning board at first rejected the Metro request, but later indicated support. In fact. it seems that almost everyone, including most of the members of council would like to see the building rise, so that at least some of Metro‘s senior citizens can move out of the four bare walls where the presently live. Since the site was zoned "residenâ€" tial", the Metro welfare and housing department last year asked North York for rezoning to permit construcâ€" tion of a 14â€"storey building to accomâ€" modate the senior citizens. Twelve years ago, Metropolitan Toronto purchased a 10â€"acre site at the corner of Cummer and Willowâ€" dale Avenues to build a home for senior citizens in need of decent housâ€" ing. Alfred H.

It is doubtful that many of them would refuse accommodation in the Cumâ€" mer project because it is 10 miles away from the O‘Keefe Centre. In the meantime, senior citizens sit and wait in cubbyholes, while North ‘York officials try to convince the world, Cummer Avenue is a poor choice for housing. + There is one argument that the opposition to the Cummer plan worth _ considering. They contend that many senior citizens would preâ€" fer to . live near the big stores and entertainment centres. Considering these _ facts _ alone, there is every good reason to suspect that the reeve is either intentionally or unintentionally playing politics with the lives of senior citizens. If North York hadn‘t thrown road blocks in the way of the project, by now it would have been close to completion. When the two week deadline exâ€" pired and the 10 alternate sites reâ€" jected, the reeve again asked for more time to come up with another site. More than half a year has pas: sed since then and still another suitâ€" able site has not been found. For parks, the study awarded the site only two points, even though the proposed building is supposed to cover four acres of ground with the remaining six acres being used as a garden park. e TTC bus loop was only worth two points. If the nearest park was a dozen blocks away, the site rated one or no points. is a great difference between private and public enterprise operating in the garbage busiâ€" ness.

The reâ€" verse holds of course, when the Conâ€" servatives have the balance of powâ€" er in Ottawa.
