This is a description of the City of Moscow by a local man, Nicholas Comission, who last week returned from a fiveâ€"day visit to the center of the comâ€" munist world. Mr. Comission and his family toured the Rusâ€" sian capital as part of a Euroâ€" pean trip which also took them to England, France and the Brussel‘s World‘s Fair. Guided by a young, Englishâ€" speaking university student, Mr. "In Moseqw, there are no parking meters or service staâ€" tions. There are only a few cars but the main streets are being widened to the size of our Uniâ€" versity Avenue without bouleâ€" vards in order to accommodate the traffic expected in the next few years." "In Russia, women are. equal. They receive the same pay as men, and they do the same work. They drive trolley cars, lay bricks and operate cranes. They provide the manâ€" ual labour for the construction of the hundreds of apartment buildings which are being constructed to replace the numâ€" berless hovels and slums which still exist." Visits Moscow While On Tour After Attending World‘s Fair The Council also granted » permit for what Reeve Tonks gescribed as a "beautiful five storey office building" to be built on Eglinton Avenue, just west of Dufferin Street. Howâ€" ever, on the grounds of an inâ€"= sufficient allotment for parking, Deputy Reeve Royle and Counâ€" cillor F. Taylor opposed this motion. Building Increases $2,000,000 According ,to Mr. Comission, the city was packed with tourâ€" ists from other sections of Rusâ€" sia and\the satelite countries, inâ€" cludingbChinese and Mongolian soldiers. Hotels were overâ€" crowded and the only accommoâ€" dation available.for thk Comâ€" fssions was in the ancient Naâ€" Comission, his wife and three children toured the city, visitâ€" ing historical sites, the univerâ€" sity, the museums, Red Square, and the Kremlin. He tells of the Moscow subway, which he describes as "nothing else like it the entire world". There are six subways in the city, he states. Every station is differâ€" ent, each decorated with a muâ€" ral commemorating a chapter He was most impressed by the quietness of Moscow, caused in part by the lack of traffic and the distance of the airport from the city. But he describes the streets as crowded with peoâ€" ple. They cross the streets twenty abreast, he states. Crowds line up to enter stores. Tourists are everywhere and they line up to visit the muâ€" seums. It pleased Reeve Tonks to note in York Township Council the .!2000.000 increase of construcâ€" tidn work for July, 1958, comâ€" pared to July, 1957, reported oy the Building Section, and the consequent incréase in business assessment for the Township. in the history of ‘the country.
