x J George W. Bull The study notes that there are many good solid homes in Mount Dennis that shou!d not be torn down to be replaced by skyscrapers. To protect them from creaping urâ€" ban blight, the consultants suggests that York township should adopt In essence, the municipal consultâ€" ants recommend that the lion‘s share of â€" Mount Dennis redevelopment should be encouraged around the edge of Eglinton flats â€" a large flood plain soon:to be acquired by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority . for parks and recreation purposes. This makes sense because in the notâ€"tooâ€"distant future, the area will be served with three expressways (Richview, the Highway 400 extenâ€" sion and Spadina), a subway and improved arterial roads. At first glance, the proposal in the $15,000 Proctor and Redfern study to replace 1,300 single family homes with 14,000 apartment units appears to be quite startling, but in taking a second look, the suggestion appears to be sound and sensible. York township rnow has a plan which should be used as a guideline for the future development of Mount Dennis. Howard G. Barrister â€" Solicitor Notary Public Evenings by appointment 1938 Weston Rd.

Riggs 1230 Jane Street MUSIC If York council asked for and ob: tained a change in the Assessment Act to wipe out this gross malaise, it would earn the gratitude of not onâ€" ly Mount Dennis homeowners, but those living in the rest of the townâ€" ship and Metro as well. . The solution then, lies with York council urging Metro to petition to the Province to amend the Assess: ment Act so that people who improve their homes aren‘t stuck with an inâ€" creased tax bill and those who let their properties devalue the neighâ€" borhood don‘t get the benefit of lower taxes. The present municipal taxation system is archaic, _ discriminatory, and unfair to people who want to maintain and improve their homes. Under the Ontario Assessment Act, the Metro Assessment Department is required to penalize homeowners who make improvements with higher taxes and to "bonus" homeowners with reduced taxes if they _ allow their properties to deteriorate. Across Metro, many people hesiâ€" tate to improve and repair their homes, because they know that their assessments and taxes will increase. and actively enforce _ housing standard bylaw.

By PEG GRANT For the past four weeks, unâ€" der the slogan ‘"Be Counted for Canada" I have endeavoured to give you the background of the 1966 Census of Canada. We have determined some of the uses of the information gathered, and also how important the role of How To Improve A Shopping Centre Census Begins June 1 Be Counted For Canada Chartered Accountants Marsh, Goulding 1969 Weston Road We‘re Thinking of Declaring it a Disaster Area , manager. CB 1â€"1129 Through neglect, the store fronts have deteriorated in apâ€" pearance. Teenagers with nothâ€" ing better to do hang around the shopping centre, and litter blows about the walks and parkâ€" ing lot weeks before it is cleanâ€" ed up. In many parts of the United States, Negroes have shown how injustice can be stopped. They have effectively forced restaurâ€" ant owners to pull down signs marked "white" and "black" Women is both as a Census Takâ€" er, and as an informant to ansâ€" wer the all important 5 quesâ€" tions which will be asked. In this fifth and final article urder ‘"Be Counted for Canada", I would like to condense some of the information, so that when the _ enumerators begin | their rounds next ‘Wednesday, June ist, the householder will know what information he will be reâ€" quired to give, and to stress the importance of coâ€"operation. Population For each person residing in the dwelling on the night of May 31 to June ist, five questions will be asked. They are: 1) Name, 2) Relationship to head cf household, 3) Sex, 4) age and 5) marital status. The Houseâ€" holder will also be required to state if the dwelling is owned cr rented. Individuals are required by law to answer the questions inâ€" cluded on the Census Questionâ€" naires. In practice, any reâ€" sponsible member of the houseâ€" hold may complete the questionâ€" raire with the Census Taker. Strictly Confidential The strict secrecy of answers given for completing the quesâ€" tionnaires is also protected by the law, with both heavy fines and © imprisonment, the penalty for divulging Census informaâ€" tion. Merchandising _ The Census of Merchandising and Service Establishments will also be taken beginning June 1. This helps businessmen to estiâ€" mate the size of the market, calculate their share of the marâ€" ket, select the best kind of reâ€" tail outlets for the products and compare their costs with the avâ€" erage costs of other businessmen in a similar industry or business Begins June 1 Although the Census officially begins on Wednesday June 1, 1986 very few people in the Wesâ€" ton and North York area will get a call from the census taker ou that day. In fact only a small proportion of the area populaâ€" tion will be enumerated next week. _ There are about 300,000 merchâ€" andising and service businesses in Canada and this will be the first 5â€"year Census undertaken in the field: In theory the Census starts June 1 and continues on until completed. In actual fact, beâ€" cause a majority of census takâ€" ers are new to their jobs, only group on doors of restrooms and above] eating counters by boycotting i the restaurant. They have forced transit systems to take out signs marked "blacks in the back" by boycotting the buses. | a small number of names are completed on the first day. And on the second day, Thursday, June 2, they meet together with the census commissioner to reâ€" view problems they have encounâ€" tered in their field work. If the shopping centre owners at Weston and Sheppard refuse to negotiate with the area rateâ€" payers to clean up the plaza, the ratepayers would be justiâ€" fied in borrowing the U.S. sysâ€" tem to force a change in the owners‘ thinking.

Gordon says when he was Finance Minister, foreign governments and industrial establishments exerted enorâ€" mous pressure on him and his Cabinet colleagues at times. Again in my view, this is no reason to charge like a frightened bull through a china shop, and searce off forâ€" eign investors who had contemplated building a china manufacturing plant here. + That‘s The Way ... by Frazer Cache While I admire Walter Gordon as a hardworking and prominent citizen, I nonetheless regard him as a danger In his book, "A Choice For Canada," Gordon asks Canadians to be nationalists I can‘t accept this philoso. phy simply because the people in the United States and France tend to be nationalists. But when he advocates a number of dictatorial meaâ€" sures that would give sole control of industry in this country to the Federal Cabinet, I think that he is beginâ€" ning to step on vary dangerous ground,. . â€" â€" Whatever measure of U.S. influence there is on Canâ€" adaian industry, I suzgest this influence is far less danâ€" gerous than trying to run Canada‘s industrial complex from a push button centre on Parliament Hill Another dangerous flaw with Gordon‘s proposals is that he could make Canada an unattractive place for forâ€" eign capital to flow into. Suppose for instance. you want to build a tool and dye works. You have two choices, You can either borrow capital in New York at say, six and a half per cent interest or in Toronto at eight per cent. tempting to prevent Canadian industry from falling into the hands of those evil foreigners? _ _ In Hitler‘s day, Germany was a pretty nationalistie country too, and of course we know that China‘s teeming millions are slaves.of the state. If Gordon warned that the U.S. government and forâ€" eign industry should stop meddling in Canada‘s domestic affairs I1 would completely agre& This is after all, our land and we do elect an Ottawa government to ensure that we all get a fair shake. To me it seems if Gordon‘s proposals are adopted. â€"New York wouldn‘t lend you the money even if Gordon would allow it.
