The North York mayor sharply questioned but got no answers last week on why the Royal Winter Fair was being subsidized by the already burdened ‘owner. It turns out to be part of Canadian National m account. 6 ~~Mr, Service got into an argument about the Royal Winter Fair with two city lady controllers at a Metro execuive session while Terento‘s Mayor Dennison kept well out of the way. Mr. Service blamed the city for saddling Metro and the boroughs for the fair. :l: :.uun" understand hew a province wide fair became subsidisâ€" y Metre. He got little satisfaction on whether the fair made any mongy | or much else about the accounts despite the appearance of the CNE | treasurer. Metro officlals agreed to report on the financial arrange | ment that exists with the fair. â€" â€" It was York Controller Wes Boddington and North York Conâ€" troller Gordon Hurlburt who put the pressure on last week for a , conference between a Metro committee and the TTC to consider a way to abolish the zone fare system. They pushed for the conferâ€" | ence while Metro Chairman William Allen was out of the committee ~reomâ€"on civic busitress.Someâ€"otherâ€"committeeâ€"members wanted to | wait. Mr. Hurlburt‘s argument was that the Metro area was really an area of one civic administration so a single transit fare for the same area should exist. L North York‘s tax levy went up five mills last year which repâ€" resented the third dtcasion in three years for a five mill tax jump on residential property. North York has about the highest retail water rates among the boroughs, The H. E. Pettett who happens to be president of the Metro Toronto Convention and Tourist Bureau also happens to be Harry Pettett, general secretary of the Toronto Transit commission. P One of the most important dates en any Metro area property owners calendar should be the last date he has to appeal any as sessment increase applied to his house or property, Metre asses sors are already making the rounds checking on assessment for next year‘s tax levy. The final dates of appeal for North York property ewners on the basis of wards is as follows; Wards 9 and 6, April 7, Ward 7, April 28, Wards 8 and 11, May 19, Wards 10 and 12, June 16, Ward 4, July 7, Ward 5, Aug. 4, Ward 3, Sept, 1§ and Wards 1 and 2, Oct. 13. . © > * The same importance applies to residents of York.

Metro has taken 149 properties in North York since deciding to establish a TTC repair yard area at the top of the future Spadina rapid transit line. Over $800,000 has been paid out. Chances are the Spadina line will slip in priority behind the Queen sybway line. In fact the Spadina subway ling may not be needed for at least 10 to 15 years.

Metro will get $123 to repair the police vehicle, Metre will aequire land on Wilson Ave. between Keele §t. and Spring View Avenue in North York for the widening of Wilson Ave. to a basic width of 100 feet. s Metre government this year will collect $75,600,000 represent ing revenve to the cerporation other than the ysual civic tax levy on home owners and industry. Over $35,000,000 will be in provincial grants. Metro expects to gain $15.000,000 this year from the sale of water to the boroughs and the cfty. Metro will spend over $1,700:000 this year in an attempt to reduce the impact on residents in the former Metro suburbs of the coming civic tax rate.
