St. Phillip‘s Bridge is presently only wide enough for vne lane of traffic and is restricted to light vehicâ€" les. Estimates made by A. D. Marâ€" gison and Associates on the cost of the bridge and land acquisâ€" itions would make the township‘s contribution about $85,000. The consultants report stated the bridge would cost approxâ€" imately $58,000 with land acquisâ€" ition costing anywhere between $150,000 to $250,000.

The IO DE Children‘s Hosâ€" pital operated for almost 50 years on Sheldrake as a prevenâ€" torium for active TB cases aâ€" mong children. In 1942, when T B was largely under control, the hospital obtained full accrediâ€" tation as a general children‘s treatment centre. In 1959 it closed its doors when T B grants were withdrawn. "While it is with regret that we have abandoned hope of reâ€" building on the old site, we are confident that the decision to re â€" establish in _ co â€" operation with North York General offers the best opportunity to continue our hospital," Mrs. Smart said. "A children‘s centre in North York at Highway 401 and Leslic will serve a large and growing area." In 1961 the Ontario Municipal Board ruled that the 10 D E Hospital could not rezone its present Sheldrake Boulevard site in order to build a new children‘s hospital. Construction of North York General will begin early in 1964 on a site on the northwest cornâ€" er of Highway 401 and Leslie Street. Mrs. L. B. Smart, chairman of the board, said it will finance jointly with the Board of North York General, a children‘s centre of 100 beds as a wing of North York General.

Stanley Paul RCN (R), Training Officer, HMCS "York", accompanied by various Navy and Navy League Officials. Prior to his official arrival cadets had been mustered for inspection, hoisting of colors and prayers as normally conducted on any training evening. Upon the arrival of the inspecting parâ€" ty the band played the General Salute while the Guard showed the appropriate marks or respect for the Inspecting Officer. This was followed by a detailed inâ€" spection of cadets in their divâ€" isions in order to assess cleanliâ€" ness and bearing of cadets. Immediately after this inspection of ranks the ship‘s company led by the band paraded past the reviewing stand first in Column of Route and later in Close Colâ€" umn of Platoons paying their respects to the Inspecting Party. The annual inspection conducâ€" ted by officials of the Royal Canâ€" adian Navy and the civilian group, the Navy League of Canâ€" ada, found the local cadets at the peak of their proficiency so that they might ‘do their best to retain their laurels of last year when they were judged to be the Most Proficient Sea Cadet Corps in Canada with an enrolâ€" ment under one hundred cadets. The regular monthly visits and the annual inspection form the basis of judging for such awards which are made on behalf of the Navy and Navy League partnerâ€" ship that sponsors the Sea Cadet Movement in Canada.

He gave an example of dividing ‘down the middle of Yonge Street and along Eglingâ€" ton Avenue‘. Saying this was only an example he added the real boundaries might be Keele Street and the Don Valley Parkâ€" way, or some other. This plan would, according to Mr. Goodhead, give equal taxaâ€" tion; equal services; and equal representation in government. There would be one major council; one mayor; eight conâ€" trollers; and 32 aldermen: makâ€" ‘ng up fourâ€"teams of two conâ€" trollers, and eight aldermen to govern the Toronto area.
