Thev Mr. Dodds informed the meeting that Alderman Cy Townsend, York's representative on the Metro Toronto and Region Com servation Authority, had set up an appointment between himself and the executive of the Conservation Authority. Mr. Dodds asked council if it was necessary for he himself to present the case. "There are several properties involved," he said. "and l have no ex- perience in doing this sort of thing. Do I have the ultimate responsibility? What if I ttutt It?" The current assessed population of North York - Canada's third most populous municipality - is 469,000 but unofficial estimates by borough of- ficials put the figure around the 510,000 mark. North York's 1923 population - the earliest figure on record at the borough hall - was 6,303. Mr. Dodds had presented a brief at the last council meeting stating how the land on his pie-shaped 250 foot back yard is falling into the Humber River at a rate of about one foot a year. Mr. Dodds had iold council then that he would be back for "concrete results". Gerry Dodds, the man whose Dension Avenue home is slipping into the Humber River, appeared before council again this week with another deputation. The students, some 70 participating in the clean-up, range in age from 11-14 years, conceived the idea and approached Miss His department has been voted 33.000 to carry out a mailing campaign aimed at borough industry with the idea of obtaining program suggestions and pledges of financial support from private sources.

Alexander school. Robert Shannon, borough information officer said it is hoped to involve industry a n d c o m m u n i t y associations. He added that there is no firm plan as yet and details have to be worked out. North York's 50th an- niversary as a separate municipality falls next year and the borough council is considering having an of- ficial program of celebrations centred around the July 1 weekend.

This is the report commissioned by the Conservation Authority to study the problem. One year has elapsed since the report was published and Mr. Dodds has not yet been able to "beg, borrow or steal" a copy of this report. He doesn't even know if his area was covered in the report. Alderman Cy Townsend told him he could probably get a report when he is at the meeting. "While yoire there ask for if," Mr. Townsend " vised, "They may give it to “I did want to get a copy of it to study before I met with the executive," Mr. Dodds said softly, as he presented Mr. Townsend with a framed copy ot a poem called "The Ambulance down In the Valley."

The girls turned up at last week's meeting when they learned Mayor Hall had struck discussion of their case from the agenda. The mayor was told who they were and made his statement after Miss Greene demanded to know what stand the municipality was going to take. Borough by-law officers ordered the girls tovleave their dream home by May 30 because of a neighbour's complaint that they were violating the area's single. family by-law.

On Saturday, June 5, the youngsters took to the water and began removing shopping carts, bed springs, lengths of pipe, Globe & Mail distribution boxes, discarded automobile tires and assorted junk. Piles of debris were left at several points along the bank - three truck-loads - later Mayor Hall told them that they won't be taken to court or asked to leave until the borough has reviewed its single-family by-law. This process could take several months and the girls have vowed to fight any eviction order "to the last court of appeal." The girls are violating a single-family by-law by living in the Walwyn Ave., home they have rented for $350 monthly since mid- april. The other girl, Patricia Wroe, an air hostess was not present at the meeting. Controller Irving Paisley added: "You needn't worry. Nobody is going to put you out on the street." Mr. Hall told three of the girls, - Barbara Greene, 25, Katie Hayhurst and Celine Fulford, both M, - that "there are no plans to issue summonses" when they made a surprise visit at a meeting of the borough's board of control. of the its suggested.

Like the ruffled consumer who recently called the Consumer Protection Bureau, of the Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs. Trustee Mel Shipman said he thought the board should be congratulated instead of criticized for giving trustees help in communicating with their electors. Dr. \Lynn Trainer, the board chairman said less than $1,000 has been spent so far, only three trustees have used the fund and each mailing has to have full board approval. Trustee Val Scott said: "Any elected representative in the House of Commons has privileges for the purpose ‘of communicating with residents. There is no reason why we shoudn't have the same. He complained that a board decision last year giving each trustee $500 yearly to send out in- formation letters to their Ward residents amounts to establishment of a propaganda fund to help them get re-elected. They were replying to allegations raised by a former trustee, lawyer Sydney Moscoe, in a letter to the board. The weather was cold tor wading and the children had to cut short their efforts. Another attempt to complete the job will take place on Saturday, June 19. It is hoped that more children of the borough will join those of Alexander School to help complete the job.
