Now the Metro board is extending aid in planning at the request of the town council. He said that planning the Metro area was not a simple job as analysis of the Metro area is not easy.

The Reeve stated that he was quite concerned himself about the situation that he found his return from Windsor where he had attended a convention representing Metro chairman F. Gardiner. _ Nevertheless, after going over the subdivision agreeâ€" ment in detail, fls reeve stated that he was quit@ satisfied that the township had taken all the proper steps in granting this subâ€" division and that the official decision . of the Ontario Muni-‘ cipal Board had been carried out and incorporated into the subâ€" ‘division agreement. ‘ ; The main point at issue was‘ whether or not council had to act on the statements contained in a letter received by the townâ€" ship from the Ontario Municipal Board, which stated its dccision‘ on the appeal launched bt the applicant. In this regard the township solicitor stated ‘to this reporter that it was quite in order for council to have inâ€" terpreted the letter received as the official decision of the $0n~ tario Municipal â€" Board. ‘Had council refused to abide by ‘the contents of the letter it would have been followed in a few days by the official signed and sealed order of the board. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1956 The tender submitted by Dilâ€" worth Equipment Ltd., New Toâ€" ronto of $2,495 for &n Internaâ€" tional tractor and blade to be used in sidewalk snow removal was approved by Weston counâ€" cil on the recommendation of Councillor Jack Holley, chairâ€" man of the works committee. Councillor Holley said that he felt the heavier International would last a couple of years longer than the lighter Ford tractor and would be more useâ€" ful. Councillor Geo Bull thought that the $2,106 tender for a Ford 630 tractor submitted by Diesel iand Electric Maintenance and Supply Ltd., Thornhill, should have been accepted. He thought that the latter would do the job just as well. He also objected to the fact that the 48 inch wheelbase of the tractor would put one wheel in the boulevard and one in the front lawn, makâ€"< ing .a mess of the lawns. Two members of _ Weston council were appointed to the joint committee of council and the Public Utilities Commission to "develop plans for a garage and storeroom building." They were Councillors Conroy and Holley. Councillor Holley,/ as chairman of the works commitâ€" tee, has a large interest in the proposed new structure. The resignation of Edward R. Winder from the Weston Public Library Board because he had moved to the town of Oakville, Ont.. was accepted with regret by Weston council. Mr. W'ui%er. who resided at 50 Boyd Ave., was appointed a member of the Board for a term of three years from 1954. Since no name was available for a replacement, touncil plan to make the apâ€" pointment of another resident of the town to fulfill the unexâ€" pired portion of Mr. Winder‘s term at their next regular meetâ€" ing. ooo P.U.C. members of the comâ€" mittee are Chairman R. E. Hasâ€" sad and Commissioner. W. A. McArthur. COMMITTEE APPOINTEES TRACTOR TENDERS Cutting Possible "Frills" To Reduce Hall‘s Cost Following the opening of tenders for the proposed new municipal building on Monday night, Weston council was faced with the fact that the building was going to cost considerably more than was originally anticipated. The five tenders submitted to the council were all tabled for further consideration by the council at a special meeting tonight at which the architects, Albarda and Housom, will again be present. The lowest tender for the job was $305,500, submitted by Graham and Sibbett Ltd., 388 Yonge St., Toronto. After explanations of the situâ€" ation by the architects and by the chairman of the building committee, Councillor C. E. Conâ€" roy, most members of council seemed philosophically resigned to the increase from the original estimate of $282,000 for the furnished municipal building. Council was told by the archiâ€" tects that since the original sketches were made in October of 1955, the council had made a number of suggestions to change the plans which, in all, he had estimated brought the original figure for the unfurnished buildâ€" ingâ€"$223,000â€"to approximately $291,000. The architects had also recommended a couple of changes to make the plans more satisfactory. CouncilJor â€" Jack Holley de-’ clared that he felt "time is of the essence" in the matter and: action should be taken as quickâ€" ly as possible. He said that the $282,000 estimate submitted to the people was necessarily a "calculated guess". "I am sure that if the sum had been $350,000 the town hall would have becn approved just the same," added Councillor Holley. $ . Mayor Harry Clark suggested that it might be possible to eliminate some "frills" from the plans and Councillor Bull said that , ossibly the town shouldn‘t build police quarters for Metro. Councillor C. E. Conroy countered that everyone hopes that the town will be a headâ€" quarters for a police district and that it was desirable to have the police quarters there. The architects added that if a change was made in the overall size of the building, the whole plans would have to be redrawn and the process started all over again. * Councillor Gordon Moore was‘ of the opinion that council should not worry about getting the exact amount of the original estimate. The increased costs since the original estimate was TWO LANGUAGES ARE EXâ€" CEPTION TO THE RULE â€" Most of the languages of the world belong to wellâ€"established groups or familics, but according to the Book of Knowledge two notable exceptions are the American Inâ€" dian languages and the language spoken by the mysterious race of Basques in northâ€"eastern Spain.

Councillor Holley agreed that "we should console ourselves" that the building is going to cost the amount of the lowest tender even if some items are removed, for he anticipated other "extras" would probably be added before the construction was completed. Before opening any of the tenâ€" ders, Mayor Clark told council that only one tender had been submitted before the noon deadâ€" line, the three others coming in later that afternoon. He pointed out that council should decide beforehand whether they should accept all tenders or only the one received on time. He did not name the tenderer whose tender was submitted by the stated deadline. Council voted to accept all the tenders.
