He observed that "any person seeking public ofâ€" fice who is stupid enough to disâ€" regard traffic safety in his choice of locating signs will surely not be elected."

Wordâ€"Wary Councillors Ok Sunday Sport Bill Casting a 7â€"2 vote in favor of putting the question of Sunday sports to the electorate in the December elections, members of the North York council freely admitted that the veiled phraseoâ€" logy of the question would give the public little indication of the issues involved. Councillor James Service‘s sugâ€" gestion that a legal interpretaâ€" tion of the question specifying the type of sport discussed should be appended to the referendum was, after an exhaustive deliberaâ€" tion, turned down by council as impractical, Mr. Service remarkâ€" ed that those voting on the isâ€" sue, through failure in comâ€" munications, could in effect be approving _ something , they‘re completely against.

T.‘ Skills of the township‘s park board. In his address to council Mr. Skills reported that in three years maintenance and operatâ€" ing costs will be eating up the entire parks budget. By the(end of 1962 only a pittance wil}k be available for the most elemenâ€" tary development of raw . park sites and by the end of 1961 there will be no money available for aquisition of new sites. Mr. Skills, who is,chairman of a special finance committec apâ€" pointed to study the township‘s parks crisis, complained that out of the current year‘s budget of $400,000 only $42,000 was availâ€" able for development and purâ€" chase of equipment.

Agrecing â€" in â€" principle â€" with Councillor _ Service, _ Councillor Ken Gariepy commented: "It is impossible to change the quesâ€" tion. However, one would have to be a Solomon to advise the people what it means." Remarking on the delemma facing the council in being forced to present the referendum in & stipulated â€" form, . in‘ no way changed, Councillor William Lyon stated: "With all respect, the legislation is ridiculous. We are obliged to follow a procedure that has neither rhyme or reaâ€" son and, therefore, cannot exâ€" pect to conduct a true plebisâ€" cite." i Reeve Norman Goodhead said that should the voters vote yes or the question it would be up to the 1961 township council to deâ€" termine by bylaw what sports would be allowed on Sundays. MilgramCharges Council Lax In Enforcing Policy beiow what it should be, Mr Skills pointed out. He proposed as the only longâ€" term solution a submission of public referendum to escape the Parks Act and make parks a diâ€" vect responsibility of a commitâ€" tee of council. The matter will be further considered by next year‘s counâ€" cil. Etobicoke council agreed to reâ€" view Councillor Ben Milgram‘s proposal that a definite policy be set up for truck depots within the township boundaries. Councillor _ Milgram urged council to take preventive action against trucking depots from ocâ€" cupying land that could be put to better assessment use. He comâ€" plained that many trucking comâ€" Panies, violating zoning regulaâ€" tions by locating in areas proâ€" hibited to them, received no inâ€" tervention |from the council. mediately after the formal inspection. The fact that Mayor Holley had to leave in order to atiend a Weston~Council meeting caused the inspection parade to be called in advance of the uniform issue to the new cadets as a courtesy to the guest of the Squadron.
