He used to be Forest Hill village‘s municipal clerk. His old furniture from his clerk‘s ofâ€" fice now belongs to the city of Toronto, it may take some snipping of red tape to get his furniture. The TTC keeps a close check on delays in service on its various transit routes. In the last three months 88 per cent of all delays have been due to traffic congesâ€" tion. On the Eglinton West bus route serving York the TTC has reported a total of 16 delays in the threeâ€" month period with over half the time lost due to traffic congestion. The Keele St. bus reported 48 delays in serâ€" vice with the overwhelming cause traffic congestion. cause of delays. The Vaughan Rd. bus route, however, listed fires in adjacent buildings and motor vehicle acâ€" cidents as the two main factors in delays on that route. Delays on the Weston Rd. bus route numbered 66 in the threeâ€"month period with the vast majority either traffic congestion or motor vehicle accidents. The borough of York has the only council with two former heads of municipalities in its ranks, Chris Tonks as reeve of the g:,d township and Wes RBoddington, former mayor of eston. A large B‘ercentage of civic staff and in particular those in York could well take some lessons in the art of telephone conversation. An increasing amount of civic business is being done by telephone. Some Metro muniâ€" cipalities are becoming aware of the public relations aspect of the telephone conversation. There is nothing that will get a taxpayer‘s back up quicker than to be g?f/_en the runâ€"around during a telephone call to a civic office. Being shifted from one office to another or from one official to another is a favorite procedure in some muniâ€" cipal offices. Courtesy and attentiveness are two of the main traits necessary in telephone conversation. Inâ€" creasingly some civic departments are coming to realize that a telephone receptionist can be a goodwill ambasâ€" sador or a oneâ€"woman public relations department. An abrupt or disinterested person on the othef end of the telephone can sometimes do more damage to the civic image of a municipality than a tax rate increase. Metro Welfare Commissioner John Anderson is a man without an office of his own. He started work at Metro on Dec. 19 and takes over a 487â€"member staff Jan. 1. He is currently sharing an office with Metro welfare consultant Robert Smith, the former welfare commissioner. The district welfare offices both in York and North York will be maintained by. Metro. In Phoenix, Arizona, civic employees have been equipped with blue and gold buttons for their lapels which ask "May ‘We Help You?" An English city reâ€" cently discovered that a soâ€"called 6,000â€"member taxâ€" payers‘ group turned out to be one man who sent out 30 letters weekly for more than a year to criticize the civic administration, Many of the local Metro area rateâ€" payer groups consist mainly of a hard core three or four persons. York controllers Phil White and Wes Boddington have something going. Mr. White has been described as the senior controller and Mr. Boddington the junior controller. York mayor Jack Mould may find his opâ€" ponent for the next civic election, in 1969, sitting right beside him in the person of Mr. White. The York mayor may be hard pressed to contain the York controller at Metro meetings. The first draft of Metro‘s capital budget for 1967 and the next two years has already had a close going over by senior Metro officials. The problem is what to do about the school board spending. Ten of the largest cities in the U.S. levied income taxâ€" es on citizens during the past year. Philadelphia led the way by collecting over $85,000,000, followed by Washâ€" ington at $48,000,000 and St. Louis at $24,000,000. From time to time Metro officials have considered new forms of municipal revenue including hotel tax. sales tax and even a motor vehicle tax. Unless there is some way to hold the property tax down they may have to ask the province to grant authority for some new form of municipal gaxation. $T.
