Alexander Public School‘ really speaks louder than the words I might choose, for the name will stand as a living memorial to a man who spent the greater part of his adult life teaching the three R‘s," she said. Taking over the job after the late Mr. Alexander‘s retirement, Nrs. Ray Simpson told the audâ€" ience: "As a teacher he was exâ€" tremely forceful; what he taught was not soon if ever forgotten." Mrs. Simpson noted that Mr. Alexander was a real disciplinâ€" arian demanding good behaviour and work well done. "He had replied that there is a serious hospital bed shortage in Metro rd if the Commission refuses acknowledge that construc. tion costs are rising, "all hell will break loose."

Due to stringent bylaws, industries filtee most of the solâ€" id particles and color out of stack emissions he said, but what of the more potent invisible poisons allowed to escape from chemical plants? North York council is on the brink of making a decision that may turn out to be a most serious and costly blunder. Two short weeks ago, City council delayed a decision to build a $7 million municipal garbage incineratorâ€" because Metro decided to launch a $175,000 study to determine the best possible means of solving Metro‘s huge waste removal problem. When council meets on Monday it would be well advis ed to reiact the lowest bid even if it is accepted by Board of Control. Not too long ago, Controller Gordon Hurlburt expressed concern with what he called invisible air pollution. The proposed Dufterin St. incinerator fits into this catâ€" egory because it is almost impossible to burn hundreds of tons of garbage without allowing at least some of the byâ€" products to escape. We endorse Councilior Murray Chusid‘s views on the subâ€" ject without reservation, and hope that westâ€"end represenâ€" tatives, Counciliors Joe Could, John Booth, Robert Yuill and Paul Godfrey will too at the next meeting of North York council. Two million dollars is too much to go up in smoke. Metro‘s decision was a wise one, because nexi year it will be responsible for garbage disposal and because no one has ever made a similar study to ensure that Metro taxpayers get efficient service at the lowest possible cost. ° This morning Board ‘of Control will open tenders to build an incinerator on Dufferin St. It is to be hoped that the Board will defer acceptance of any of the tenders until the Metro study is completed. There are a dozen different methods used by the world‘s great cities to solve their garbage removal problems, and the Metro study may well find burning garbage is the most costly and inefficient method of them all. Clearly, if North York council goes the final step at this time and begins construction of the $2 million incinerator, it is not acting in the best interests of the ratepayers who will foot the cost. |__ Chusid said it would "have | been baa enough" to build a white elephant last year before it was known that Metro would | take over garbage dmfl. but to build the $2 mi effort | this year "would be like cutting said and a stack nozle shuold be installed to make the gases less obnoxious.

The move to prohibit use of garbage incinerators in apart ment buildings, initiated by Toronto council, has received the overwhelming support of the York Township and North York works committees.
