Dennison, five boroughs differ on amalgamation of services Toronto Mayor Bill Dennison thinks the amalgamation of health services is a good idea. The five borough mayors do not. A union of the health boards would also save borough citizens about $2 million in unnecessary taxes. If a single department were in control of the whole health sysâ€" tem, claims Mr. Dennison, Metro would receive provincial grants totalling 75 p.c. of its budget, compared to their present gift of 25 p.c. for the six departments. The quintet of mayors probâ€" ably feel that this step will bring them closer to total amalgamaâ€" tion with Metro, although you won‘t catch them admitting it. Jack Mould, York Bor?)ukh‘s top official, thinks that a Metroâ€" save National Utility Service (Canâ€" ada) Ltd. is to examine the charâ€" ges made by public utilities gas, water, telephone, hydro etc. and to explore areas where overchargâ€" The York School Board has hirâ€" ed a company to show it how to $ECOND SECTION School board hires consultants to save on utility expenses IDoherty Roadhouse & McCuaig Bros.

There would no longer be a sense of responsibility toward the taxpayer, says North York Mayor James Service, because it would be run by provinciallyâ€"appointed men. The province has taken the view that if the borough mayors can‘t agree on a unified health board, the taxpayer must pay for their services through property taxes, without assistance from it. The local health departments had no comment to make on the subject, but York‘s district health officer admitted that his board was not in favor of an amalgamaâ€" tion of services. es or physical _ improvements might be made. lt‘s not that so much of the board‘s rates were inâ€" correct, W. L. G. James, secretâ€" ary, hastened to assure the trusâ€" tees, just that they may not be atrived at in the most economical way. ‘"The company will try to produce a better rate for the Board," he said. The company offers a compreâ€" hensive analysis of utilities costs and guarantees protection from overpayment. . The Board of Education has entered into a threeâ€"year conâ€" tract. The company will be paid $1,500, a sum which it will atâ€" tempt to repay in savings. Thereâ€" after it demands 50 p.c. of all future savings. North York‘s School Board had embarked on the contract some time ago, and it reports that there are considerable savings forthâ€" coming. + The Bard was generally in favour of the agreement. Mike Macdonald, however, felt that $1,500 was too much for savings that might not even be there, and voted against it. Our Best Wishes Go With You ! WESTON, BILL MYLES IS LEAVING TO BECOME AFTER 18 YEARS WITH CANADIAN TIRE Meston Times Promised a garden Folks living in the neighbourâ€" hood of Haney Ave. Park, Jane Street are lamenting the fact that York‘s Parks Department saw fit to take away all the baby swings and larger swings as well as the shelter and sand box from this park last year.

As it stands now it is a barren piece of green acreage overshadâ€" owed by the huge construction of a half completed apartment comâ€" plex being built on the East side of Jane Street. Residents 4n the area fear that plans are afoot to sell their park for an apartment site and this they will fight with all their might. York needs every bit of green space it has and cannot afford to lose even one foot of parkland in an area where so many high rise apartments are being developed.
