~| _ NY CounciiComments The four singerâ€"instrumentalists are from Windsor and three of them are policemen. The other is a teacher. They are critical of many of our sacred cows, but seem to have most fun knocking the police â€" especially the RCMP. There second album soon scheduled for release goes after the CBC using the Ten Comâ€" mandments as a format. There are also some good shots taken at Toronto the Good, the Average Canadian and others. But the Munsinger Blues was vetoed by the group‘s lawyer. Too blue and liable to bring a libel action the lawyer chuckled after hearing this saga of the saggy springs. So you‘ll soon be able to hear The Brothersâ€"inâ€"Law Strike Again . . . minus Gerda. I got a letter in a plain envelope from somebody who had enâ€" closed a copy of an editorial from The Financial Post. The Post says it‘s annoyed bechuse Canada‘s credit unions have assets of about 214 billion dellars. The paper wants the union taxed, just like any other wealthy institution. Finance is not one of my strong points, but aren‘t credit unions still passing out the lowest inâ€" terest loans you can get? Isn‘t the CU a nonâ€"profit organization, that returns averâ€"andâ€"sboveâ€"expenses money to members in the $000 Canadian branches? Don‘t most of the CU officers still work for no pay? The Post is irked because the CU‘s have more dough than "such :important groups as the mortgage loan comâ€" panies (e,g. firms like Canada Permanent Mortgage, Huron & Erie Mortgage, Credit Foncier), "says the editorial from the Post. I‘ve been to credit union meetings and watch old biddies knitâ€" iing like crary as the financial reports were read. Some of the younger members brought their babies because, they said, sittors are expensive. It looks like the way to rack up a fortune these days is to make your own cloths and don‘t let any babyâ€"sitters mm:mm«-mm.mm-m_m.cu members are a potentially dangerous financial power. It‘s confus ing. I‘m going to stop reading mail that comes in plain envelopes. Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear; Fund memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near. Mrs. Rowland Hill & Family, And don‘t forget, the anmual iris auction sale is going to be at Edwards Gardens, Saturday Aug. 13. The colorful getâ€"together put on by the Canadian Iris Societv, starts at 2 p.m. Blooms are donated by members and the Botanical Gardenms at Hamilton. They use the money to grow bigger and better iris. certain shopping plazas in North York are well planned and mainâ€" tained. Others are not. Those in the first category have made a real effort to provide a pleasâ€" aut, tidy and efficient atmosâ€" pkere for their customers, and at the same time have created an enterprise which is a credit to the municipality. the Don Mills Centre at Lawâ€" rence Ave. and Don Mills Road. This plaza is now more than 10 years old, but seems to have maintained and improved its apâ€" pearance and operation. There are several other shopâ€" ping centres in the Township where the owners have provided such amenities as benches, shade trees, landscaped areas, foun tains, and overhead protection tfrom rain and snow. This imâ€" proved shopping _ environment makes for increased productivâ€" itw . In contrast to these well planâ€" ned shopping centres are some of the ‘strip commercial‘ secâ€" tions which have been allowed to develop in North York and in most other cities. Present planâ€" ning policies discourage further development of this kind, but much of it exists today on such main thoroughfares as Avenue Road, Sheppard Ave., Bathurst St , Yonge St., Jane St. and Wilâ€" son Avenue. It seems to me that much could be done to enhance the appearance of these areas. In some cities the merchants have jomed forces to provide planter boxes of shrubs or flowers along the frontage of their commercial area. The planting of trees along Front Street has created a marked improvement in the secâ€" tion between Yonge and York Streets. * I am particularly. interested in the possibilities of a landscapâ€" ing program on Yonge Street north of the 401 interchange. There has been much discussion lately about a Civic Centre study and this may ultimately come to pass. However, the reâ€" sults of such a study are many years away. In the meantime, something specific can be acâ€" complished by the property ownâ€" ers and North York Township toâ€" werd giving our major streets a faceâ€"lifting. Heard the Brothersâ€"inâ€"Law? They‘re not just another group of lameâ€"brained kids using electronic instrument to advertise their lack of taste and talent. These four young Canadians have latched onto a type of Spring Thaw satire, and their songs spoofing the Establishment and other ‘things Canadian is paving off just fine. Their first album Oh! Oh! Canada! included such gems as: the ECMP Waltz, the Hal Banks Hornpipe, the FLQ March and The ill. Only eight percent of our worries are legitimate, says Or. Thomas $. Kepler, an authority on human characteristics. Here‘s how he figures it: 40 percent will never happen; 30 percent are about people‘s criticisms of us; 12 percent are over old decisions; 10 percent deal with health. "Thus 92 percent of our worries are proved feelish" â€" BALONEY. h uSn te? cause men were neglecting their archery practice, important to the country‘s defence, o play golf.

Gordon Hurlburt Controller, North York North York‘s Council faces its biggest challenge yet in the next few years. The Yonge Street Subway will trigger a fantastic pressure from real estate deâ€" weiopers for rezonings â€" for partment and apartment proâ€" Council‘s task will be to propâ€" eriy plan the Yonge Street corâ€" ridor, and then have the courage to maintain its planning prinâ€" ciples as the tempo of develop ment pressure increases. The existing Yonge subway was completed in March 1954. Its cost was $67 million. Since thep there has been $10 billion in new development along the route of the Yonge subway. The appraised value of total land and development in Toronto is $50 billion. Twoâ€"thirds of the 15 billion that has been added in the last 10 years is directly atâ€" tributable to Yonge Street. an original price of $15,000 to $25,000 soon went for $50,000 to $75,000. This was the result of both increased value for actual development purposes and also speculation. The task of planning the cenâ€" tral core of the townshipâ€"Yonge A brief study of the history of real estate development along the 4% mile Yonge subway will Wustrate my point. Tax assessments in districts close to the subway line in the downtown area rose by 47 perâ€" cent, and in the Eglinton disâ€" trict rose by 107 percent. The average for the balance of the city rose 25 percent. Between 1959 and 1963, 48.5 percent of all highâ€"rise development in the City of Toronto took place alongâ€" side of the Yonge subwayâ€"and 90 percent of all office building space. Twoâ€"thirds of all new developâ€" ment in this period in Toronto took place within a five minute walk of the Yonge Street subâ€" way. . Obviously such pressure is met with increased land costs, and in fact Cit}j houses that sold for An ever increasing problem for the planners too is the presâ€" ervation of the single family home. This year, for the first time in Metro‘s history, . more single family homes will be Gestroyed than will be built. It is expected that 5000 homes will be ‘destroyed for redevelopment projects, _ municipal improveâ€" ments etc. and only 4500 will be built. Most planners are dediâ€" cated to the maintainance of the existing single family housâ€" ing stock, and it is this principle tha!t North York must maintain as well. if is anticipated that the eastâ€" west subway will generate $2 billion in office buildings and Aapartments. A‘Controller Reports page 2) Twin Tenders Split Oil Deal Onee again the Association For Children With Learning Disabiliâ€" ties, with the support and coâ€" operation of the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Education, has schedâ€" uled a seminar for parents, eduâ€" cators and professionals, August 8â€"12, 9â€"12 noon; 1:30 â€"4 P.M., This seminar will be devoted to placing perceptual handicap in proper focus and will provide numerous suggestions concernâ€" ing specific techniques for evalâ€" uating, teaching and living with handicapped children. Arguing: "certainly some of Milnes‘ employees live here" and are township taxpayers. Asâ€" sessment is thereforé not a propâ€" er criteria, Controller Hurlburt jusisted, when tenders are equal the contract should be shared. British American and Milnes will each share in the heating costs of township buildings for Street, is not a simple one, nor should it be undertaken in haste. The district No. 11 plan indicates the problem, and it is this probâ€" lem that Council must address itself to in the next few years. North York can have a brilliant future, and become a model community for all of Canada to admire, if proper planning and planning controls are undertaken To The Editor at Ryerson Institute of Technolâ€" ogy, and the Education Centre College.

Identical tenders for the winâ€" ter‘s supply of oil were submitâ€" ted .by British Americans and Milnes Fuel Oil Companies. Controlier Gordon _ Huriburt disputed the manager of supâ€" ply‘s recommendation to award tae domestic fuel oil contract to B.A. Oil and recommended North York Township "split" the oil bill between the two companies. Manager Wanted B.A. Mr. N. W. Johnston, manager of supply, said the Department close BA. in preference to Milnes because B.A.‘s business assessment in North York Townâ€" ship is considerable, while the Milnes Company has none.
