North York Reeve Jim Service tried last week to bring an end to caucus private votes to elect members of Metro council to various Metro committeess. He had the support of York Township Reeve Jack Mould but the idea went down:to defeat at a Metro procedural bylaw committee meeting. The committee was formed some months ago to reâ€"| view Metro council procedure. So far very few changâ€" es have been made. Etobicoke Reeve John MacBeth explained to the committee that it was obvious Mr. Service didn‘t want any hankyâ€"panky going on when Metro named members to various committees. There is always a behindâ€"theâ€"scene scramble for committee appointments each year and for 1967, with the big 32 member council coming into operation, it should be a more active contest than usual. On the basis of past activity Metro welfare and housing and Metro | works could be busy committees next year. Metro takes over welfare entirely and also waste disposal. Mr. MacBeth said he himself, unlike the North York reeve, didn‘t mind a bit of hankyâ€"panky once in awhile. | He did not elaborate. | York Township Reeve Jack Mould complained last| week that a city incinerator near the township bordcr‘ was causing considerable air pollution. He noted that | the city takes both industrial and residential garbage,| but the township takes only residential garbage. * Weston Mayor Wes Boddington claims York Townâ€"| ship has not "taken over" Weston‘s building inspecâ€"| tion work as yet, despite statements made by York | Reeve Jack Mould at a recent council session. York Township is reluctant to give a guarantee that Wesâ€" ton‘s civic employees will be given a comparable job' at the same pay, after Jan 1, when the borough system | ccomes into operation. Weston officials claim York council is a little too suspicious of Westonâ€"York relaâ€" tions. One contributing factor has be_eq the iajecfiou‘ of private solicitors into â€"l;;gâ€";ii‘!i;ns between the two suburbs over merger. Ten banking executives from Japan met with Metro planning board officials last week to get a briefing on the new borough system and Metro government operations. sansd: Puul it old ces SHEDOE TVE SP P on P ctat en SEe n on en e is Metro planners have advised North York that Metro‘s proposed official land use plan cannot autoâ€" matically provide for conformity with any district plans that the township may adopt. Metro is beginning to realizze that it may have set too high an objective for park land in its official land use plan when it declared the need to provide more than two acres for each 1,000 Metro residents. Last year a company gave Metro an independent evaluation of the old city hall site, long before the reâ€" development plan was formally known.. Metro last week paid the $3,000 bill for this evaluation. By the end of last June the TTC had 6,001 permanent emâ€" ployees.

He opposed the change ts double duplexes at this time and disputed Mr. Eisen‘s claim that the purchasers had been misled end believed the homes to be double duplexes, rather than semiâ€"detached houses. "If the purchase price had been $24,000 or so, the purchasâ€" ers could expect to receive an income from the property.

Miss Davidson‘s plan to "stabâ€" ilize its boundaries" would take over part of North York‘s $200,â€" 300,000 Flemingdon Park develâ€" opment. Mr. Service suggested Council retain Wayne and Shuster to write its reply to the lady Reeve. Controller Gordon _ Huriburt urged Council to meet the chalâ€" ‘enge head on. He said Miss Davidson outlines some pertinâ€" ent proposals in her brief, and although they are not agreeable to North York, Miss Davidson deserves a proper explanation pointing out that there is more to be considered here than physâ€" ical boundries. He suggested reports be obâ€" tained from the engineering staff, the planning department, school boards and the fire deâ€" paitment, to show Miss Davidâ€" son the economics involved. Controller Basil Hall said, at first look he thought the "heat had got her‘". But now that it‘s cocler we should all have anoâ€" ther look at her problem.

Reeve Service said the brief is really "a very sad commentâ€" aiy on Bill 81, which permits East York to continue too smak". He said if Leaside had its choice he is confident it would prefer to be a part of North York. He said further East York and Leaside should have disâ€" appeared in to the Townships of Scarborough and North York | instead of being allowed to ro-‘ main as one municipality. «OPEN ALL DAY MONDAY CIVIC HOLIDAY AUGUST Ist Dixie Rd. & Queen Elizabeth l 6220 Yonge St. One Mile West Of 27 (At Stecies Ave.) It‘s No Joke WITH BARGAINS GALORE ON EVERY FLOOR AND IN EVERY DEPARTMENT AT ‘ HOLIDAY MONDAY DIXIE PLAZA and Steeles Avenue, during the coming holiday weekend.
