The direct borough gain under present assessment practise is prtrttaltly greater In a comprehensive survey and report on current educational practices, trustee R. Val Scott, vice- chairman of the North York Board of Education, said that institutionalization is th- warting learning progress. Commenting on his report entitled, "Living and Learning Without Schools", Mr. Scott said, "Education must not be relegated or confined to a particular building or classroom on certain days at specific hours." "It is beside us and all around us", he ex- claimed, "merely waiting for us to recognize it and become a part of it. Education is a continuous process which constantly pervades our total en- vironment." School drop-out community drop-in suggested Quoting staggering figures of increasing costs and opinions of critics of educational purpose, Mr. Scott concludes that "the existing system of education is irrelevant, costly and harmful." Because of the urgency of the problem and complexity of present conditions, "society can no longer afford to allow such a system to perpetuate if it is to meet the challenges of the future. To bring about the changes required, people must first adopt a new Used Car dealer Bill Dowling, President of Crang Plaza Motors intends to stay in business despite a censure of misconduct for false and misleading advertising and selling unsafe used cars, recently handed him by a provincial tribunal.

The study concludes that it "the beat redevelopment decision" had been made at MaaiirartiiseomatrtLtd., each site, the tax payer would have saved only $2.12. "The coat of redevelop ment is substantial and may well represent the most that can be accomplished in the borough for some years," the report states. "Nothing short of de- schooling is the answer", said Mr. Scott. "The public must be made aware that schooling and education are not synonymous, whereas living and learning are the natural process of man's evolution. Let us not in- terfere with that fun- damental development." Terming it a shocking but essential departure from established practice, the trustee recommended a mass dropout program from consciousness and act ac- cordingly." Board of Control referred back for further con- sideration a proposal recommending the sewer impost bylaw be amended that exemptions from the impost be provided for replacement of existing buildings. Presently the bylaw provides an exemption for the first 3000 square feet of floor space. Controller Douglas Saunders stated the bylaw as it exists does not encourage factories to rebuild. The amended bylaw would allow an exemption equal to the previous existing floor area if the prior floor area exceeded 3000 square feet.

Noting the success of "Opportunities for Youth", Mr. Scott advocates the exploration of transforming secondary schools, com- munity colleges and universities into a gigantic "Opportunities for Youth" program, with the support oi the federal and provincial governments.

Mr. Allen said the study did not take into account the part of residential taxes that go to Metropolitan Toronto coffers. The" Price Waterhouse report stated high density Mayor Philip White disagreed, "A fee structure never discouraged any businessman from enlarging. Small fees and small exemptions are not going to encourage redevelopment. We need assistance from higher levels of government to do this." "In a built up area such as York," he said, "we have to engourage redevelopment." Customers of Crang Plaza Motors generally were not satisfied with the tribunal's decision to allow Mr. Dowling to continue operations. They wanted his licence to be revoked.

The study did not take Into account the no acre Eglinton Flats being developed by York and Metro, nor was credit given to the JamsWoolner project tor the dedication of a one acre parkland parcel. Thou lands plus the proposed take over from Metro ot the Black Creek east ot Jane Street would push the borough's present 250 acres of parks up to the 450 acre level necessary for the 180,000 borough residents projected for 1900. Mr. Allen also points out that 15 per cent of apartment project site areas can be dedicated for park purposes on the basis of density transfer at no financial cost to the borough. Apartment developments also provide 1.25 acres of open space on site and pay a sewer impost which single family homes do not. Of the seven sites studied only one is located in the east end of York where there is a park deficiency. Four times this year residents on the street have had their basements flooded because of the overtaxed sewer system. "After every flood we have to hose the basement floor to clean it out", said Mr. Wm. Brownell, a homeowner on Hilldale. "Another consideration," the report states, "is that without the financial " vantage of apartment development the borough may not be in a position to provide additional parks.
