Etobicoke has received Metro approval for $253,â€" 500 in capital spending which will go for storm sewers and improvement of public parks, particularly at Queensâ€" way Park and Glen Agar Pork. â€" + Metro has just bought 1,000 blankets for use at the new Riverdale hospital, cost is $6 42 each. Every time Metro orders blankets it sends samples out for a washabilâ€" ity test. The one that shrinks the least has a high chance of getting the bid. Metro is going to forget about trying to collect $14 from a motorist who damaged a stop sign at Lake Shore Blvd. and Dwight Ave. in Mimico. For almost 10 months the corporation has been trying to Find the motorâ€" ist and the cost of a continued search would far outweigh the amount of the claim. The Health League of Canada has been bombardâ€" ing Metro elected representatives with letters ever since Metro refused to give them a financial grant this year. Some of the stotements are outrageous, such as suggestâ€" ing the diptheria rote might increase. Engineering department employees in Etobicoke are working more overtime hours than any other departâ€" ment in the municipality according to the township payâ€" roll department. Etobicoke also appears on the way to obâ€" taining twice as much new industrial and commercial deâ€" velopment this year as it did in 1962. Metro has now proceeded to ask the province for legislation that will allow Metro Licensing Commission to license and regulate persons who buy and sell used cars. A limitation on the size of chimneys and their heights is being studied by Metro works department. This limitation would apply to apartment buildings and office buildings.

Metro Planning Commissioner Comay has been named to a committee that will be responsible for supervising a masâ€" sive urban renewal study that will embrace Metro and the neighboring townships. When Metro government decides it is going to opâ€" erate a hospital like the new Riverdale project it has to buy certain items like 800 wash basins, 21 medicine carts and 500 other essential items, all related to the day to day operation of a hospital. It has been obvious for some time that Metro would move back into the hospital building grant field. This is due to the constant pressure by hospital boards and the urgent need for more hospital beds in this area.

[¢° Report From Ottawa OTTAWA â€" Legislation to increase the money paid to Members of Parliament by the taxpayer who also becomes a Mr. Pearson after taking full responsibility for the legâ€" islation added that those "enâ€" titled to speak" for opposition parties had been told of the Government‘s intention and had given assurance of supâ€" port. These thoughts had been running through the minds of some members before the pay increase bill was introduced. But Government and back benchers on the Liberal side thought they could count on one thing. Unanimous support from all parties would avoid an embarrassing party issue at election time. Was it wise, after declaring quite reasonably that they could not face constituents unâ€" less the Government Municiâ€" pal Development and Loan Bill‘ was passed to provide jobs for next winter. to .put their own pay increases ahead of this Bill? nulllon to the national debt for their own pockets? How many constituents who believe that they work just as hard as the member they send to Ottawa can expect to earn half that amount? In the wake of a budget that had increased taxes and still fallen $700 million short of balance, was it just the apâ€" propriate moment to add $2 A Liberal Government had scarcely got their feet under the desk when Liberal back benchers began pressing the Prime Ministers after they reâ€" tire from the House of Comâ€" mons, there might be more imporâ€" tant things to do for Country made little ,impression. The fever spread to the members of othér parties and forced Mr. Pearson‘s hand. But now that the $18,000 is within reach some of the second thoughts are these: There is no doubt that memâ€" bers and Senators were overâ€" due for a raise in pay. Mr. Dicfenbaker was considering it before the 1962 election. He had promised do something about it in 1963 but a hurried dissolution of Parliament and unkind fate upset his plans. is the equivalent of another $2.300 for married members without dependents. . In any event, members of all parties are going back into their constituencies this time more than a little worried over the extent of the increase from $10,000 to $18,000 a, year, its timing and, the fact that the top $6,000 is exempt from income tax. . Assuming no other income, this exemption voter every three or four years always results in some heart searching and a few guilt complexes. This is not really due to the fact that Canadians are nigâ€" gardly about the pay of the men and women they send to Parliament. Even less is it due to any feeling by the members that they are not worth the money. But members of Parâ€" liament are among the very privileged few who can vote their own pay increases withâ€" out consulting their bosses in advance. Alter Course! may be a different story in the Fall when tax sharing is up for discussion as well as the controversial pension plan. That may be a hint that he doesn‘t intend to continue to be an easy mark. The official survey of busâ€" iness plans for expansion are three per cent higher than earlier estimates. But the surâ€" vey has one question mark. It was made before the Gordon budget. If Mr. Diefenbaker is to get his vote of confidence from the Party it will not be on his record as Prime Minister but his record as an astute politiâ€" cian who can sense the feeling of the people. He obviously hopes that a vote against the hurried pay increases might be just enough to convince Party members outside Parâ€" liament that he‘ has not lost his touch. Happy at the extent of the Federal Government‘s concesâ€" sions over Provincial spending of the $400 million municipal loan fund, Premier Lesage gave the Pearson diplomatic touch all the credit for the success of recent Federalâ€" Provincial | talks. _ But Mr. Pearson himself warns that it In either event the present leader will be standing for reâ€" election. He gave a clear inâ€" dication of this in discussing provision for a pension for pension for Prime Ministers after they retire from the House of Commons. "I do not expect that this is going to apply to me." he announced. "Because 1 have other hopes". cedent for a leader whose Government has suffered deâ€" feat asking a vote of confiâ€" dence from his party. Or it may beâ€"called at the insistence of Mr. Diefenbaker‘s enemies. the 1 cal ; the time next Mr, Diefenbaker led seven Conservative and three Social Crediters in opposing the Bill.

When the vote was called CAPITAL HILL CAPSULES But obviously the person "entitled to speak" for the Conservatives was not Mr, Diefenbaker. In the Party cauâ€" cus he had tried unsuccessâ€" fully to pull his members into line in a move to delay the increases. Failing in that at the last moment he had deâ€" creed that no Conservative should absent himself. Those who were determined to get the increase immediately must be in the House to vote for the Bill.
