TTC and Metro roads department officials are currently working out plans to in- corporate the northern terminal of the trolley coach line as part of the new grade separated interchange at Wilson and Weston Road. It is expected that the new looping arrangement for the trolley coach will be ready about March 1973. The grade separation work is expected to begin in the spring, A new street interchange at Wilson Avenue and Weston Road will put the existing Blondin TTC transit loop for the Weston Road trolley coach and Woodbridge bus out of business. Mr. White's argument was that the hotel industry, restaurants, theatres ad other business enterprises directly gain from convention visitors and tourists and should therefore be expected to pay the bulk of the cost of attracting such people. The mayor's idea was recognized but Metropolitan executive committee decided that it would still recommend that Metro Council provide the bureau with $450,000 this year to help attract conventions and torists. York Mayor Philip White argued last week that the Convention and Tourist Bureau of Metropolitan Toronto should try and obtain more of its financing from the tourist and hotel industry rather than from the Metro Council.

[ V by Reg Fife A hectic, lengthy, loud and confused Borough of York council meeting Monday, which did not finish until ten minutes to midnight; saw the borough supporting the rapid transit route proposed by the Cedarvale Ratepayers Association. The firm, which is building condomiums at Marlee and Ridelle avenues, was seeking relief from a five percent dedication or payment. Ogee Holdings saved $65,000 by attending the Borough of York council meeting Monday.

When they get their first cold weather hydro bill they are often shocked, and, quite often, not in a position to pay it. Guides past and present celebrated the 50th anniversary of the formation of the company of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mount Denis, at a tea last Saturday afternoon. Some eighty guiders and guides of yesteryear visited the church hall to join 35 present day leaders, guiders, guides and brownies. Special cakes, decorated to announce the 50th anniversary, were served to guests along with plenty of tea, sandwiches and goodies.

THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1972 As this is the first condominium in the borough and because such a double impost would discourage this type of desierable accommodation by other developers, council finally settled for the amount already paid. The condominiums will sell for $22,518 for two bedroom? and $24,240 for three bedrooms. Down payment is $1,115 for two and $1,200 for three bedrooms. a 1 r a. Wk tht ' As the borough did not act at that time he suggested that the minister not be asked to impose the five percent requirement. It was pointed out by borough solicitor, J .H. Boland, that it was not the practice of other municipalities to require this dedication or payment for condominiums and that council had, at the time of re- zoning, and again at the committee of ad- justment, the opportunity to levy the amount. additional five percent parks impost, on top of the $13,300 already paid. After four hours of listening to deputations, and confusion over semantics and political opportunism, the first voting had to be thrown out and the subject re- opened to clear up the issue. But the position of the York council is now clear. It does not want its residents served by the rapid transit system at the expense of the destruction of homes and a change in the environment. ' also protect the natural environment of the area and to discourage the inevitable in.. trusion of high-rise development into areas that are now single family homes. At Monday's council meeting it was suggested that council members should forgather so they can present a united position before the members of the school board. Only one comment was heard across the council chambers: "United? Impossible!" York council and the Board of Education meet next Monday night for a dinner meeting to discuss joint participation in the development of the George Syme creative playground and the matter of snow" removal. The property" and surrounding area is presently zoned commercial high-rise on the official plan. Businessmen in the immedite area are concerned over the purchase. They would approve renting on a lease basis but feel sale of the property for a day care centre would interfere with any future commercial and high-rise development i the area. Vigorous opposition to use of vacant lots on Vimy Avenue as a parking area by Lillian Investments was registered at Monday's York council meeting by several residents of the area. The matter has deep roots that extend back to 1963 when, according to one ob- jector, the subject first came before the Weston council. It was, according to the same letter, turned down by the Ontario Municipal Board in 1964 and again in 1965. If approved, extensive renovation would be carried out, including an addition to the building. Planning Board tonight will discuss an application by the Department of Social and Family Services to purchase the borough- owned Hollis Hall property in Mount Dennis and turn it into a day care centre.

The Board of Health then passed this resolution: "That Council be advised that the Local Board of Health does not agree with the introduction of corrosion inhibitors or other foreign matter into the water supply." York residents may soon be spared from unwittingly drinking corrosion inhibitors with their water.

There was little change in the amout of use during 1971. In 1925 the two storey building housed the volunteer fire department on the main floor with the community hall upstiars for social activities. Businessmen in Mount Dennis will attend the meeting tonight to gain assurance that the fate of Hollis Hall will have no effect on the fate of their business area. When the fire department moved to Lambton Avenue, the businessmen played a strong role in the retention of the hall as a community centre. The hall underwent complete renovation at that time to the tune of $60,000. Council agreed to ask the Ontario Municipal Board to review it srecom- mendation, which is contained in its report on by-law 1000, on this particular area. A parking lot situated behind the' hall, extending over to Locust Street, could be an addition to the property. Originally intended for people shopping in Mount Dennis and maintained by the borough parking authority, the lot is presently not in use except for used cars parked there from a nearby car dealer. Concern over future plans for Hollis Hall by businessmen is not sudden. For years they have maintained a keen interest in the community hall. Armed with this, York council moved Monday night to notify the five offending apartment owners that they are to remove the installations and if they fail to do so, one will be selected to face legal action by the borough to force that removal. Ronald C.Crisp of 25 Vimy avenue, who appeared before council, in a written sub- mission, stated: _ "This is not a situation where the rights of individuals are being infringed for a public good but rather it is a situation where one land owner seeks a personal economic gain at the expense of amny property owners." A pay increase for members of the Committee of Adjustment was passed at York council this week. The chairman, who had been receiving $1200 a year, will now receive $1,500 and members will receive $200 more a year, bringing their annual reward to $1,200. The move was taken not without comment by council members who agreed that a review of the stipends of all committees need to be examined. Pay raise TRIMBEE FLORIST SINGLE COPY 10 CENTS
