hp~* Christian Science Ieclure The coâ€"operative program between North York and Metro governâ€" ment for preparing municipal maps and photo maps in 1967 turned out to be such a success that it will be ‘expanded this year to all Metro borough municipalities. Metro Roads Commissioner George Grant said last week that, 850 of the required 2,500 topographic maps of North York will be completed by the end of this year. Three aerial photography companies will be used by Metro to extend the mapping program to all the boroughs. A bylaw adopted by North York Council may force a revision of Metro government‘s planning policy. The bylaw proposed an apartment project at Sheppard Ave, and Hawksbury Dr. at a per suite density to land available on the site that exceeds the maximum level allowed by Metro Planning Board. Metro‘s usual limit is 60 suites to the acre for vacant land. Metro planners will consider in June the whole issue of allowing increased apartment density because a developer gives up some land for public use. The difference in this instance is that the breaking of the maxiâ€" mum level has been endorsed by the borough council because the dey_elpper _has givenwup some land for public park purposes. SECOND SECTION One meat packing plant in Montreal has spent $350,000 on a complex odour reducing system that eliminates almost 100 per cent of all packing house odours. he plant, identified as Canada Packers Ltd. by a trade magazine, Fobd of Canada, has facilities in the St. Claireâ€"Keele area on the Yprk and city boundaries. | Metro and city officials may ask Ontario Department of Health | uthorities to investigate the odour reducing system. If it is found s successful as claimed, say city officials, it should be introduced this region. Metro Planning Board and Metro Toronto and Region Conserâ€" ation Authority last week participated in the Geography Planâ€" , ning Exposition sponsored by North York Board of Education. Thol two Metro agencies joined North York Planning Board and the | Ontario Housing Corporation in displaying various exhibits to aid the students in their efforts. North York Alderman John Williams was not happy last week when Metro Roads Department conducted a roadway guide rail and post cleaning contest to pick which of three companies should get the $15,000 contract. Metro declared one company could do a better cleaning job and gave it the job. It was not the low bidder on the contract. "I am not entirely satisfied with this arâ€" rangement," he declared. How this will happen is through high‘r operating and other costs despite increased revenue from passenger fares, of 4 per cent over 1967. Revenue this year from 317â€"million passengers and other sources is expected to reach $65,187,000 while operating costs and other costs will amount to $65,555,000. The Toronto Transit Commission this year expects to carry more passengers than in any one of the last five years and yet end up with a $368,000 deficit. Nag 8 s Opening of the Bloorâ€"Danforth subway extensions on May 11 have added substantially to TTC operating costs while the number of additional passengers as a result is not expected to cover the operating cost. The introduction of additional or extended bus routes feeding into the subway extensions also has contributed to higher TTC costs. It will cost over $2,300,000 to operate the Bloorâ€" Danforth subway extension for the balance of this year. Another big cost for the TTC this year is a $2,600,000 increase in the anâ€" nual wage bill as a result of previously negotiated wages and the employment of 197 additional staff to maintain the subway extenâ€" sions and additional bus routes. You can tell that summer has arrived in York borough. The parks department last week called for bids on assorted sports equipment. Included on the list was the following: 50 volleyballs, 24 basketâ€" balls, 24 sets of softball bases, 15 catcher masks, 16 dozen whistles, 12 badminton nets, 8 sets of horseshoe stakes. For a few moments last week Metro Parks Commissioner thought York Controller Phil White was going to ask Metro Council to send him on a trip to Switzerland. _ â€" The trip idea came up when the controller questioned the $10,000 payment to Metro by a Swiss firm for what was left of the ill fated monorail equipment scheduled in 1967 for the C grounds. It cost Metro $90,000 to get out from under t 1 project which was later marked as premature. t‘, Mr. White wondered whether Metro was getting enoughYmoney for what was left of the equipment which has been in storage for two years. Mr. Thompson admitted no Metro official had seen the equipment since it was in Switzerland. Emm nc en n td "Are you sending me to Switzerland to examine the inventory," asked the commissioner who was quick to volunteer his services. Mr. White wanted to know the transportation cost. It was estiâ€" mated at $1,500. The whole idea was dropped and Metro Council went on to apâ€" prove accepting the $10,000 for the monorail equipment. Metro intends to spend $60,000 to extend the ash dumping space behind the North York incinerator on Ingram Dr. When the incinâ€" erator was under the joint control of York and North York ash di:rrx':'ping was also allowed. 8:15 p.m,.
