N. Deslauriers North York Councillor James Walker stated that in his opinâ€" ion a very dangerous precedent would be set if the proposed "legislation : which would perâ€" mit a larger share of capital costs of school accommodation to be borne by the Metropolitan area as a whole" was adopted. Councillor Walker was referring to a communication received by North York Council from the Municipality o f Metropolitan Toronto requesting an expresâ€" sion of opinion from Council reâ€" garding this proposed legislaâ€" tion, and which the North York Council endorsed with Councilâ€" lor Walker being the only one to vote against such a proposal. The delegation from the North Jane Businessmen and Rateâ€" payers‘ _ Association _ returned from their meeting with North York Works Committee with good news. Sidewalks will be installed on the East side of Jane Street this year. There have been recent delays, attributed to the appropriation by Metrqâ€" politan Toronto of additional lands deemed nevessary in the plans for widening and improvâ€" ing of the road on Jane Street. It is expected that Metropolitan Toronto will be able to provide the new allocation for the side walk and that the work can be commenced early this year. Costs have been obtained from the Engineering Departâ€" ment for the Town of Weston for sidewalks on the West side of Jane Street. This matter will be discussed at the next General Meeting of the Association on Tuesday, March 5th with a view to having ,id!wnlk. on both WAVE OF BREAKâ€"INS HITS WESTON HOMES AND STORES Sidewalks On East Side Of Jane St. Approved For 1957, Assoc. is Told In outlining his reasons for his refusal to go along with such | a proposition Councillor Walker| stated: "I oppose this proposed .

Held on Tuesday evening, February 19th, the "Youth Night" was‘sponsored by the Young People‘s Organization of Weston Baptist church. legislation because of the stated strategy of the Metro Council Executive to gain control of the schoolboards by controlling the disbursement of the debenture dollar, Such a move strikes at the very heart of our democratic electoral system and takes away from every individual taxpayer the freedom of electing schoolâ€" The effect of the psychological approach of the conquerors, the wideâ€"spread reforms and the subsequent bitter disillusionment and fear which followed when "People‘s Courts" were set up and purges began, were graphiâ€" cally described by the speaker. The Association also went inâ€" to the matter of storm and saniâ€" tary sewers for Jan# Street and were very happy when they were advised that the North York Engineeringy Department have found a solution which can provide for sanitary sewers in the not too distant future. The formal petition prepared by North York is now in the hands of Mr. Harold Cooper, Secretary of the Organization, and speedy action is expected. Unfortunately, the matiter of storm sewers is mostly a Metroâ€" politan Toronto problem, and no definite information is available at this time as to when the storm sewers and road widening will take place, although it is underâ€" stood that Metropolitan Toronto will improve the intersections of Trethewey and Jane.
