The Business men of the town have lost what they felt was a key in getting people to shop in Weston.

It was the solid core of the town‘s residents who have alâ€" ways fought against liquor outâ€" lets in Weston who were able .to pile up enough of the votes to prevent the questions from receiving the necessary 60 per cent majority. The core is deâ€" clining, as evidenced in the closeness of the vote for liquor stores (56.4 per cent of the populace voted in favor) yet the 1099 persons who voted no to this question were enough to defeat it.

The hotels were thrown out by the population of the town in a plebiscite. Another was held in 1927 and just beâ€" fore the war. Both failed to make the sale of liquor or beer fore the make the legal. ‘The vote means that the town‘s Eagle House, the only existing hotel in town, now a boarding house for about 10 men, will probably remain in its pre%ent state. If the vote had succeeded in bringing liquor lounges to Wesâ€" ton $125,000 would have been spent immediately . to renovate the corner Hotel, according to the oawners. While the businessmen are "fed up" after the results of the vote, they may be cheered by plans for a million dollar apartment â€" store â€" office complex which may be erected at Wesâ€" ton‘s main corner. Such a buildâ€" ing would be a landmark of the area and probably pull a fair amount of business into the town itself. So far this year it has cost $23,785.41 to run the Weston Library. Expenses are covered by a slight income and by grants from the town and Province. More people joined the lib rary this year during October than did last year too.

Counâ€" cil promised the developers of the apartment â€" shopping â€" office complex, that as soon as detailâ€" ed plan of the building is made available the Planning Board and Council will go into the plan without delay. The Colonnade is a fantastic structure, according to the Torâ€" onto press, consisting of a row of top stores on the two bottom floors, four floors of ramp parkâ€" ing, and topped by apartments. When the Timesâ€"Advertiser telephoned the apartment rentâ€" al office of The Colonnade last week, every one but one of the more than 300 apartments in the building was rented, and there is a long waiting list of tenants who will try for leases after one year. The last vacant apartment was a two â€" bedroom one costing $205 per month, on the tenth floor. John Cannon, a spokesman for Burbank Construction Limited, the proposed developer, told Council Monday night, the building is similar to The Colâ€" onnade, recently completed on Bloor Street near Avenue Road. It has been said, of The Colâ€" onnade, that a tenant could live all his life in the building withâ€" out ever going out, and still have an enjoyable time. There would be 200 parking spaces â€" 37 on the surface and 163 underground. The exterior of the building would be built of preâ€"cast conâ€" crete and glass, and the entire structure would be set back from Weston Road 25 feet, with an entrance off Lawrence Ave. The Grade twelve Nursing class acted as hostesses to the Grade eleven parents, relatives and members of the Weston Bd. of Education. In attendance were: Mr. King and Mrs. E. Norman, Assistant John Cannon said the Weston model would. contain store space on the main floor. From the centre of the bottom structure would rise an apartment tower of 15 storeys containing about 160 apart ments, 88 one bedroom, and 60 Mr. Cannon said the building and the landscaping would have a "pleasing appearance." The frontage of the building would be 280 feet, while the building would cover the area known as the Farr property. The property in question extends from the Royal Bank building on the northwest corner of Wesâ€" ton Road and Lawrence Ave. W. to the laneway of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce north of the corner on the west side of Weston Road. that can be performed by Nursâ€" ing Assistants and three attractâ€" ive meals that could be served to people on special diets.
