Water doesn1 have to be deep before a child can drown in it. The Black Creek, winding its way between Lawrence Ave. and Eg- lintnn, has claimed a number of small victims in the last years, and still no significant safety measures have been taken. North York's Joe Gould is con. cerned about the creek because of its danger to children, and has repeatedly brought this issue up before. counciL He is also worried about every other factor that concerns the creek in this ward: the grant of building rights along it, the land fill. the state of houses hanging mer it. and, especially, the land development on both sides of the water. The eastern end of Queen's Dr., by Culford REL. demonstrates most of his pet objections. It has open ditches, on which Mr Gould has declared an all. nut war, "They look messy. They rolled litter, garbage, rats, skunks and mosquitoes," he says. It ends in a dirty cul-desaa be. hind which are dumped huge prles of fill, and the land sloping down to the creek is covered with dead trees. The houses hacking the water have yards extended out above the slope, built. up with wooden logs and railway ties. Looking mer the hack fences. nne is fac- ed with a sheer drop of over {my feet, In efforts to bypass the con- fusion and Indecisions that ac- companied the passing of the 1967 budget.

(al- though he says that its not real- ly a complaint). is about the un. developed parkland that North York owns, especially the 60 acres on both sides of the Black Creek tributary. The grounds here are wild, tangled, littered and unused ex- cept for two weeks of day camp during the summer. He says he can excuse the fact that its un. developed, but that it should be used for dumping excavation ma. terials. concrete. and cables is to him unforgivable. there, and he wonders how North York could possibly have given permission to build on such I site. The Parks Dept., Mr. Gould tie. clares, "needs more money for more men for more parkland. They have the ability. but not the' manpower, to make the land into passive or active recreational grounds." The value of the land is hum dreds of thousands of dollars, but it seems worthless. "Now it is a wilderness of scrap and weeds." The large lot ot land behind the apartments at Lawrence and Olympia consists of flat, unseed- ed, unsodded dust. "lt's lain fal- low until I recently raised hell with the Parks Commissioner (Doug Snowi." he says. The area is presently being covered with soil. the board passes the validity of items. The budget shouldnt go through without our knowing what each item is." As long as Joe Gould continr ups to "raise hell" In North York, residents will get a lot of muse about problems, and maybe a bit of action. Chairman R. J, Christie agreed with the foregoing, but felt the Metro plans shouldn't be neglect- ed. "It is in essence fruitless," he claimed, "tn decide in terms of specific allocations if we don't know how Metro will scrutinize the budget. We have. to attempt to obtain the ground rules from Metro. for without it, is no good." Although trustee Jack Young was in favor of waiting until the city school board saw fit to no quaint York with its plans, he was overruled, and the original motion. of going ahead with the preparations on their own budget while waiting for Metre, was ap- proved- on I 7-1 vote.
