1 4 DISASTER IN YORK? The Metropolitan Council on February 26th appointed a subâ€" committee of which I am a chairmember to hold public meetings, assist and counsel in making representation on behalf of Metro and the Boroughs _ to _ the Mississauga Accident Ingquiry. Since the Weston Ratepayers petitioned York Council to take action that would protect our communities which abut railway lines, readers may be interested to know of some of the recommendations regardâ€" ing the transportation of hazardous materials: = Al Basian Men‘s Wear 1194 Weston Rd. _ = = 243â€"0111 and 243â€"0022 (Just north of Eglinton) _ @ionelnoeno en Controller Alan Tonks Page 4 Father‘s Day... 0 June 15 i MMW, Give him our best. e ie A MISSISSAUGA an appraisal be unâ€" dertaken for a routing a n d scheduling strategy for freight traffic. _ the effectiveness of current maintenance and o perating procedures be assessed regarding roadbed and rolling stock in particular. reâ€"appraisal ~of the adequacy of current railway standards and design criteria. consideration be given for proper car identification. the need for speed and load regulations. the obvious danger of mixing cars containâ€" ing flammable subâ€" stance with those conâ€" taining toxic subâ€" stances. the review of the Canadian â€" Transport 10 THE YORK NEWS O/ OFF regular price @ on any purchase. Mount Dennis MOAtIY mm INCH DRUGS _ _ (MT. DENNIS) LTD. 1168 WESTON RD., AT EGLINTON To illustrate this point, consider the following. Although council came in at 10% with Metro‘s second lowest tax inâ€" crease in 1979, nearly one million, dollars was placed into reserve to relieve our requirement for short term borrowing and also to build up our vested sick leave plan. Both areas had caused enough concern that our auditors had recommend ed this action. Ad ditionally, a surplus of $900,000.00 w a s generated from 1979 which has been used to offset the mill rate inâ€" crease in 1980. THE BUDGET: It is unfortunate that we, seem to be sliding into a rather negative view of the budgeting process â€" a "this is the best budget ever," apâ€" proach. I trust that residents will be wary of politicians who present their opinions in a manâ€" ner which both evades the facts and does inâ€" justice to â€"the whole process of proper finanâ€" cial administration. Scapegoating past counâ€" cils is unfair and inâ€" dicative of a lack of unâ€" derstanding for the shiftâ€" ing â€" and â€" changing economic â€" environment within which financial decisions are made. Commission‘s role in representing and safeâ€" guarding the public and its subordinate position with respect to the American Association of Railâ€" ways. 2243â€"0711 ?

While we have improved our budgetary approach we cannot continue to fall behind in our roads and sidewalk _ maintenance and such hard services as sewer separation etc., under the guise of an apâ€" parently low mill rate inâ€" crease. This "whats up front" approach is both misleading and counterâ€" productive in building a better York. JUSTICE AND EQUITY FOR YORK Michael Quatrale, Denture Therapy Clinic 1189 Weston Rd.
