York Township Reeve Jack Mould told Metro Exeâ€" cutive Committee last week that the township was be ing forced into the park replacement situation. Metro Property Commissioner Frank Cavill estimated that about $4,000,000 would be needed to acquiry the land for the new park. Metro has agreed to install traffic lights at Dixon | Rd. and Kelficld Street, in Etobicoke. Property has been acquired for the ultimate grade separation work | wat the intersection of Weston Rd., Walsh Ave. and Alâ€" bion Rd. Metro traffic authorities this week agreed that all wesbound traffic on Walsh Ave. be prohibited from making a left turn at Weston Rd. York Townâ€" ship_and Metro traffic officials agree that left turns ihofifi_be prohibited for westbound traffic on Eglinâ€" | ton Ave. at Caledonia Rd. No matter where you go you will displace people," said Mr. Mould. The reeve said a good plan would be locate two or three smaller size parcels of land, about two or three acres each, in areas of the township where the park deficiency is the greatest. He said in the area projected for the replacement of the section of Cedarvale Park lost to the expressway, the houses are 30 to 40 years of age and in the medium price range. "I am nct responsible for the situation, I appear to be stuck with it," the reeve told the Metro commitâ€" tee. Etobicoke Rseve John McBeth questioned whether Metro had to provide exactly the amount of park land lost for the expressway. Metro Planning Commissioner Eli Comay and Metro Roads Commissioner George Grant will submit a joint report on the proposed park replacement project for the township. No one is more elated that a citizen caught a brown trout in the Humber River near Weston than members of Metro works department who have been working for years to reduce the pollution in the river. In fact, 40 percent of all municipal sewage treatment facilâ€" ities in Canada are located in Metro Toronto. The TTC for the month of March reported a $52,000 operating loss which is a clear sign that a fare increase is on the horizon unless Metro Council in 1967 can be talked inâ€" to providing a subsidy from tax dollars, The increase in costs was three times more than the increase in gross income for the TTC in March. In the winter months the TTC alw_lys carrys more passengers. _ Metro Executive Comittee considers there is no need l to set a maximum allowance for council membersatâ€" | tending out of town conventions or conferences. A reâ€"| view has indicated that over the past few years e : amount spend on such activity has been less than $100 | a year for each member. The suggestion for a $85 a day limit could result in Metro ending up paying out | more for convention éxpenses. ‘ r'l‘he probation staff under the Attorney General in the York Township areavis being onlarged by the adâ€" dition of two nrobation officers and one secretary. The present staff has five members. This will require enâ€" largement of the probation office on Eglinton Ave. Last year a rumber of Metro members were desigâ€" nated to attend a conference or convention but did not go because of local duties. Metro has also said no deal to a suggestion that the membership of Metro Licensâ€" ing Commissing should be changed. The idea was to have the Metro Tthairman and the mayors of each of the five new boroughs serve as the licensing commisâ€" sion. This would leave the city out. The commission now includes the Metro chairman and two police court magistrates. + Métro‘s special grants committse, which doles out municipal funds to various charitable and .cultural groups yealy has a big job ahead this year.
