R At the last Council meeting, Weston‘s town fathers approved expenditures totalling more than $20,000 to be used for a wide variety of purposes. Town Approves $20,000 Costs The largest share of tax â€" dolâ€" lars, $11,000 will go to maintain the roads of the town. Actual cost is estimated at $10,300 with $700 going for engineering and overhead. No new road conâ€" struction is anticipated. The next largest a m o unt, $6,250 will be presented to Humâ€" ber Memorial Hospital through R. B. Ferguson, administrator and secretary â€" treasurer to the Board of Governors. Weston Council promised to donate a total of $25,000 in 1960 thus rendering assistance to the hospital‘s expansion program. The grants w ere spread out over a fourâ€"year period with the final payment coming due this year. The expansion program is now virtually completed. The third amount, $3,000, has been budgeted to help finance the cost of architect‘s plans for the new St. Phillip‘s Road Bridge across the Humber. A. D. Margison and Associates Limited have been chosen as consultants for the project by the Township of Etobicoke. The neighbouring municipality has agreed to provide $7,000 or 70 per cent of the architect‘s estimated fee. St. Phillip‘s Road Bridge joins Weston to Etobicoke but the town earlier refused a suggested 50 â€" 50 split. Some councillors have expressâ€" ed the desire to see Etobicoke finance 70 per cent of the new bridge‘s construction but Reeve J. P. MacBeth and his councilâ€" lors have show n. reluctance about agreeing to this arrangeâ€" ment. © The new bridge should prove a boon to motorists who have often been delayed and inconâ€" venienced by the present oneâ€" lane span.

A blueprint, submitted to council, calls for installation of four traffic islands, widening the streets between ten and 20 feet each and providing busâ€" bays, areas where buses can pull out of traffic to load and unâ€" load passengers. Councillors seemed surprised by the extenâ€" sive changes indicated on the blueprint. The Metro representative as serted that "reâ€"channeling" of traffic was necessary because Weston‘s main corner is one of the worst "bottleâ€"necks" in the Metropolitan area during five o‘clock rushâ€"hour. Widening of the streets will necessitate demolition of two Weston banks, the Royal Bank of Canada at 1906 Weston Rd. and the Bank of Nova Scotia at 1885 Weston Rd.

Most councillors seemed in agreement with him and many look upon Metro‘s plan as obâ€" structing needed reâ€"development of the town‘s main shopping area. A similar building at Bloor and Avenue Rd. proved very successful. Mr. Hunter expressed concern that he may be forced to acâ€" quire more property for his building and to fulfill zoning regulations governing parkingâ€" space and landscaped yards.
