If enacted the plan could provide work for more than a dozen men for the winter seaâ€" Discussing the works program, recenily authorized for 1963â€"19 64 by the Governments of Ontaâ€" rio and Canada, Councillor Wilâ€" liam Perry suggested the possiâ€" hill‘y of doing the needed sewer work in the town under Winter Works, He said the Town could absorb 25 per cent of the cost of the work on Humberview Cresâ€" cent sewer and others, with Winâ€" ter Works paying the added 75 per cent. Municipalities have been urg" ed by the Department of Muniâ€" c:pal Affairs to "give priority to those projects which will proâ€" vide the greatest amount of emâ€" ployment in each area." Weston sewer work may be done under the Winter Works Program schedule, according to a suggestion made in Council Monday night, and turned over to the Works Committee for apâ€" proval. 5 He also suggested a ‘yes‘ vote on the liquor ballot would help cure the problem, since the hoâ€" te!l would be renovated to serve &s an outlet. The pigeons apparently have help too, according to Council, â€"from a lady who feeds them. The Belview Street resident has 300 birds at a time on her lawn, Councillors said. Councillor Wesley Boddington suggested her lawn might make a good meeting place for the Rod and Gun Club of Weston. Council feels there are too maâ€" ny pigeons for comfort using the many cornices of the 113â€"yearâ€" cld hotel at Weston Road and Lawrence Ave. Councillors comâ€" plained Monday, that the Eagle House managers have made "no attempt to control the birds." ‘ It‘s a bird of a different color that is causing trouble at the Eagle House in Westonâ€"the not so noble pigeon. The classes will be held in the Municipal Meeting Rooms, in the Municipal 'u;ldinu on Weston Road. The classes will be held for girls 5 to 15 years of age, who will be supervised by adult instructors.

Milne of 34 Westmount from Weston attending Kipling Collegiate until Scarlett Heights Collegiate is opened. H. F. Pettett, General Secretâ€" ary of the TTC wrote the Etobiâ€" coke Board of Education informâ€" ing them of the commission‘s deâ€" cision. Writing to Councillor Len Braâ€" ithwaite and Council Milne said the TTC will not permit the chilâ€" dren to board the Lawrence Bus in front of Kipling Institute afâ€" ter 4:30 p.m. and still allow the use of scholar‘s tickets. His daughter, Heather, is one of a number of students taking subjects at Kipting from 1:15 p. m. to 6 p.m., due to the late opening of the Scarlett Heights Collegiate at Royal York and Trehorne.
