# 18 Article Praises Weston‘s . Street Lighting System Under two comparative photos of Weston‘s Main Street before and after the new installations, are the following captions: ®"Weston threw out a good lightâ€" ing system _ â€"â€" _ incandescent lighting provided adequate ilâ€" lumination along Weston‘s main street; . . . but replaced it with an even better system â€" a big improvement was noted, howâ€" ever, when CLM ovalite units were installed recently." The following is the article in full: WESTON, ONT.. was among the pioneers of adequate street lighting.. In the intervening years, the town used a variety of methods to light its streets and always kept up with trends of the times, when it wasn‘t setting them, Not long after the turn of the century, Weston solved street lighting by installing special lights on the front lawns of homes along the main streets. By special arrangement, owners of the selected homes kept the lights burning all night and were repaid for the expenditure by the town. Later, during the twenties, progress came to town. Ornaâ€" mental standards were installed along ‘the main street with unâ€" derground wiring. Lighting was more than adequate and the upâ€" toâ€"theâ€"minute units were the talk of the area. *BRAND NEW OLDSMOBILE YES...

Toronto, Ontarte 60.00 BE. 3â€"3751 |\ _ Interviewed on the part that \Metro had played in the Milani | Subdivision in North York, Mr. \Fred â€" Gardiner. Chairman _ of 'Metropolitan Toronto, _ stated ;that it was becoming more and | more obvious that Zoning By-} ‘laws made as recently as five | years ago were not adequa_te‘ , for present day mushrooming | growth of area municipalities. ‘ | _ Referring specifically to the | Milani case, Mr. Gardiner stated that a meeting had been arâ€" ranged by North York with the | Metro Planning Board, Metro | Roads and Engineering officials with a view to having the lands | owned by Mr. Milani used for | industrial _ purposes over the | whole 100 acres rather than the 50/50 Residential Industrial as proposed by the subdivider. The “Metropolitan Chairman â€" stated | that Metro officials had suggestâ€" ‘ed to North York that exproâ€" | priation of the land would be |in order if a suitable price could be arranged between the subdivider and the townshin. Mr. Gardiner stated that the ; cost of expropriation was an \area in which no satisfactory vrogress was made at that meetâ€" ing. _ tall steel standards staggered at 100â€"foot intervals: replaced the ornamental units. Latest availâ€" able incandescent â€" luminaires were installed to meet IES reâ€" commendations. v Despite the fact that Weston was considered one of the most efficiently lighted towns in the country, the incandescents were removed last year as progress continued to dictate Weston‘s street lighting policy. Tried on an experimental basis, mercury vapor luminaires won immediate favor by providâ€" ing what many refused to beâ€" lieve possible â€" better lighting. The units were installed on tl’; same â€" standards â€" with â€" specid brackets designed to provide a mounting height of 29 feet., 6 inches. Without changing spacâ€" ing or increasing the number of units used, Westos achieved lighting capable of providing exâ€" cellent illumination in any reaâ€" sonable weather, In éommenting on the probâ€" lem as, a whole, the Chairman | went on to say that no municiâ€" [pality could have foreseen the | terrific‘ growth that has taken | place in the last few years in ‘this general avea. It is an unâ€" | fortunate set of cireumstances, | went on the Chairman, that now lplaces these area municipalities ‘in the unhappy position of beâ€" ing endowed with such typicalâ€" |ly rich, ideally located indusâ€" ‘trial lands as mentioned above |and of not being in any position ‘to change the zoning from resiâ€" | dential to industrial â€"without |having to go through the costly |and timeâ€"consuming process of | expropriation. In keeping with their policy of constant improvement of facilities, Weston may be exâ€" pected to keep a weather eye open for possible improvements in the future. Considering what they have right now though, imâ€" provement is hard to imagine. > Townships Outgrow Zoning Byâ€"Laws, Says Metro Chm. Councillor Fred Young of North York Council recently moved the following motion in order to attempt to forestall any future losses of industrial land to the Township: "Moved that we ask our Planning Deâ€" partment to make a study of the Northâ€"eastern portion of the Township with a view to makâ€" ing specific recommendations in regard to land which should be reâ€"zoned industrial." Reeve Fred McMahon stated that in his opinion the western portion of the Township was fairly adequately zoned in the light of present conditions but LAUNDERERS WASHDAYS ARE EASIER We will pick up and deliver anywhere in Toronto Metro area.

"When the tax bills come out this year the people won‘t Wwant us to be buying a pool," added the councillor, who is chairman of the finance committee. * Mayor Clark added that beâ€" cause of demands for roads, parking and â€" sidewalks there would be an increase in the tax rate this year. "Parking is one of our most crying needs," he stated, "and the last figure spent on offâ€" street parking was only a drop in the‘ bucket." "Everybody wants to see a swimming pool but you can‘t keep piling it up," Mayor Harry Clark concluded Golfwood Heights that he felt that some improveâ€" ment in the industrialâ€"toâ€"resiâ€" dential ratio could be improved upon in the Northâ€"Eastern porâ€" tion of the Township. ‘ (Continued from Page 11) Mrs. Mabey told the Times and Guide that as a result of the Ratepayers Association making representation last year, council went after the bonding company which in turn reportâ€" edly told the subdividers that construction would have to be started very shortly. Work was started at the end of October, and a short stretch of walk ‘was poured but this has become unâ€" dermined during the winter months. * Mrs. Mabey said that the asâ€" sociation had done a tremendous amount of work and had taken every possible legal step but that the 60 homes was apparentâ€" ly considered "a very small group." The idea for the delegation of women to the council developed at a small bridge party amongst some of the ladies last week. Everyone seemed to approve of the idea, said Mrs. Mabey, and the only problem was to find baby sitters for ‘the younger children while the mothersâ€" atâ€" tended council meeting. Council invited Mrs Mabey to attend the next business meetâ€" ing on Monday afternoon when they would hope to present a propress report on the situation. Mrs. Mabey replied that she would also have a progress reâ€" port for them on the state of the sidewalks and roads. If council failed to take sufficient action on the problem, she threatened to bring back an even larger delegation of ladies at the next meeting of council that would hear delegations.
