No news . . . yet Metro solicitor A. P. Joy reported last week that the province has not yet provided legislation that would allow a borough to appoint an alternate to serve on metro executive com- mittee if the mayor is TP' to serve. The idea of alt hate representation orig ated with York mayor ilip White who was cone ed some months ago about the absence of representation from North York for a period while mayor Basil Hall was recovering from serious injuries suffered in a fall. "Everyone should pay. There should be no exemp tion", Commissioner of Planning Peter Allen told the Legislation and Property Committee last week. Mr. Cass suggests that these lands be maintained for this purpose until such time as their final disposition has been decided on. Speaking on proposed further exemption to sewer imposts, Mr. Allen said the exemption for the first 3,000 square feet is adequate. Metro roads and traffic commissioner Sam Cass last week agreed to North York maintaining parcels of land owned by metro to the east of the Spadina Expressway between Eglinton Ave. and Lawrence Avenue for park and playground purposes. Metro Roads and Traffic Department and the provincial Department of 'He said that addirig further exemptions would make it look like the Borough was Big Brothers of metro Toronto are in a really odd position these days. More and more boys are being referred for service and the number of men applying is not meeting the demand. At present, approximately 750 boys need Big Brothers and they are from all parts of the city. Each social worker (there are six) is carrying a maximum number of relationships but with the emergency situation most are prepared to increase their caseload. To be a Big Brother in- volves a desire on your part to invest in a boy's life.

Originally, it was planned that the Richview Sideroad existing detour would be closed August 12 and Airport Dickie Dee Ice Cream (Canada) Limited have applied for an amendment to the recent by-law prohibiting the selling of ice cream from trucks in York. The firm has been selling ice cream from special bikes in York for over two years and feels the by-law is primarily concerned with trucks in the area.

Mr. Joy reported that Metro has received legislation which will allow the corporation to negotiate with the new regional government in York County on an appropriate future boundary between the two municipalities. The new legislation also allows metro to meet with the regional government officials to discuss possible provision of water and sewage disposal facilities to the area north of the existing metro Toronto boundary. requested legislation may be Tnaidered by the ravine: Highways are in agreement on the construction of a $12,000 asphalt walkway across the excavation in Cedarvale Ravine in York at Markdale Ave. "We should be providing encouragement for people to tear down old buildings and re-build", argued Controller Douglas Saunders. "We should incourage total redevelopment, by allowing further exemptions for buildings which replace existing buildings to the extent of the floor area of the building being replaced." hours per week, no money and doesn't necessarily mean you go trotting off to a sporting event.

It could be your thing, investigate and see. Especially now when the demand for service is so high. Big Brothers are especially needed in the boroughs of Etobicoke, York and East York.

Westbound centre lanes of Highway 401 in the in- terchange area will be open for traffic after the morning rush-hour on Tuesday, August 10 and eastbound 401 traffic will be transferred to the new centre lanes after the morning rush-hour on August 12. Expressway traffic would be diverted to use the Dixon Road401 interchange. General Manager, Sid Barish said he feels the bikes are much safer than trucks. They can serve their customers on either side of the street, because of their mobility. They have greater visability and they do not attract children from distances away with a loud bell. York's Parks and Recreation Committee hesitated on spending an extra $10,000 to $12,000 for increased community in- volvement in their music program, at their meeting last week. York's Parks and Recreation Committee received a report last week outlining damages to its Youth Drop in centres for the period between January and April 30 of this year. Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Al avage advised in his report that maximum yearly cost for an expanded music program would be $24,822. Mr. Savage based his estimates on a grant system which, operating on a figure of 60 per cent for resident participation, would allow $6 a year per resident member, $4 per instrument yearly, and an annual $6 grant per resident for vocal groups. This means that groups The grand total of damages for the four centres for the four months was $4,041.73. January was the high month with a total of $1,715 At a special recital for the old folks residing at Beech Hall on Cordelia Street, the troup from Helga Jarvis' Dance School went through a number of routines from ballet through modern interpretations to tap. The photo shows one of several groups who performed during the evening. When council decided to throw open the half fare arrangement to all persons over age 65 there was no definite information as to how many persons this in- volved or how many of these people are still working a five day week. The TTC estimates that the total cost of the half fare system for this year could reach $2,600,000. Thisvis separate from any operating deficit the transit system may have in 1971. Metro Council's decision last November to give half fare transit service to all persons over age 65 is tur- ning out to be more costly than originally anticipated. Metro executive committee last week had to draw an extra $1,200,000 from the budget to have handy to meet this year's cost of providing such a service.

During February the damage tallied to almost half the figure of the previous month. The total was $699, with Rockcliffe Senior Public School again at the top of the list with $561 The York Italian Band would receive $304 under the new grant system. It now gets $480 for four concerts from the borough. The York Firefighters Trumpet Band (31 band- smen) would receive $238 instead of $372 for four concerts, and The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets "illustrious" band, if in- corporated under the' new grant system, would receive $456 for their 60 members. Also included in Mr. Savage's estimate of total costs of the proposed new music program is the $4,400 salary of a part-time music director, $2,250 in costs for practise facilities and in- direct expenses of $4,964.

April's damages fell to $663.75 for the entire month. Mayor Philip White, however said it was "premature" to consider the program terming it a "major budgetary item". Mr. White also stated that the proposed new music program was like Parkin- son's Law. "I don't know anything about this sort of thing," he declared, "But a music director would." recreation committee, urged his committee to decide "one way or the other". Alderman Jack Gallichan disagreed, stating he favored establishing the post of a borough music director. The committee, however, decided to postpone any decision and tabled the item for discussion at their next meeting. "A music director, will make sure you get more and more music, and soon it will mushroom into a fulltime job with a huge budget" he warned. SAVE 40% T0 60% North York school mum refused on Monday to be satisfied with an explanation by Metro police over why they have ordered youth bureau officers back into uniform. For several months youth bureau policemen have been wearing uniforms on duty on order of Police Chief Harold Adamson. They were previously allowed to work in civilian clothes. Three weeks ago Trustee Mrs. lorraine Deane asked the board to press Mr. Adamson to rescind his order on grounds that principals don't like officers in uniform turning out to schools in marked cruisers to interview students who are in trouble. North York Bd. of Ed. wants reat reason However, discussion of her motion was deferred. Later, board officials held talks with senior police of- ficers and were told they want to give the uniform more prestige and get students and the public to realize that uniformed policemen should be respected and not feared. "If we can have recreation rooms in basements why not kitchens?" questioned Controller Douglas Saun- ders. "This is a perfect example of legislation by suspicion". "It's discriminating against ethnic families in the Fairbank area where the kitchen is not large enough." said Mr. Saunders. "For these families, the kitchen is the centre of the home". Homes in the Fairbank area were built some years ago, with small kitchens. Many have built additional larger kitchens and are contravening York's zoning bylaw. __ This is the consensus of a suNcommittee report made by the planning, by-law enforcement and legal department of York presented to the Legislation and Property Committee last week. Multiple kitchens are permitted in some areas of the borough, but, are presently not allowed in Wards 3 and 4, which are zoned R-2 (single-family): by Dawne Moss Removal of the prohibition against multiple kitchens in a single family dwelling will increase multiple oc- cupancy.

York Municipal Buildings at 2700 Eglinton Avenue West will be without storm windows this winter. Installation of the storm windows was estimated at 812,780. Difficulties experienced with the heating system in the building last winter have been improved with the installation of a new fuel tank and other work in connection with the heating plant. “Let's see how it works out for this winter", said Mayor Philip White. of the borough such as Fairbank but not if it covered York as a whole. Mayor Philip White t posed legalizing multiple occupancy last January. He said he could support the motion if it covered one area "Why should we say the kitchen must be on the main floor at the back of the house", countered Mr. Saunders, "Kitchens should be anywhere in the home that you choose to locate them". Metro roads and traffic commissioner Sam Cass fully agreed that building the Spadina expressway down to Eglinton Avenue "wouldn't help very much." There are no handy arterial traffic routes to take the traffic from the expressway if it was halted at this point. On the other hand, if Cass could be allowed to build the ex- pressway to St. Clair it would help.
