CANADA SHOULD LEGALIZE LOTTERIES _ With the present rapid rate of development in North York we have been successful in bringing services to the entire municipality. We have invested millions in the installation of water and trunk sewer facilities which may now be used lz the development of land to t north of our present boundaries. These lands are now completeâ€" ly isolated from their existing communities because of the new railway . by â€" pass. Because of distance and cosis these lands Following the sequence of events that have happened in the last few weeks in North York, it appears that the majorâ€" ity of Council are in favour of the establishment of some form of Borough System. Reeve Norâ€" man Goodhead‘s proposal is also a modified borough form but he calls his Amalgamation. Amalgamation could mean many things but however he has inâ€" dicated that he is fully behind the decisions of North York Council and will do everything nossible to support the views of the Council with regard to anv nronosals that may be nut forth. Reeve Goodhead has for many years hbeen a strong advocate of some form of consolidation of various _ municipal _ boundaries but has alwavs held the view that North York has a great nart to plavy in whatever newer form of government may come about. I am glad to see that he is behind Council in any deâ€" cision they may take in this recard. In the following release, Mr. Paisley states that the smaller towns and areas of Vaughan and King Townships and Markham Townships are in favor of anâ€" nexation because they have grown ‘tired‘ of country life : While North York‘s Norman Goodhead is asking for amalgaâ€" mation of the entire Metropolâ€" itan Toronto area, his Deputy â€" Reeve Irv Paisley is almost demanding the annexation by North York of the rural areas north of the Township. â€" The classes will commence on Monday, January 6th, 1964.

It seems logâ€" ical therefore that we take adâ€" vantage of the millions of dollars of services that are lying fallow, at our northern bounâ€" daries, and that have been paid for the taxpayers of Metropolâ€" itan Toronto.

System, Reeve Goodhead for total amalgamation, and myself taking the antiâ€" amalgamation position. The reeve gave his glib explanation. and then conâ€" tinued on to make his points about his Four â€" Borough totally â€" amalgamated area. It has been suggested by some of the elected representâ€" atives of both Markham and Vaughan that the residents are against such an _ annexation. This is not factual. If a plebisâ€" cite were taken on the matter in areas affected I am more than certain that the majority of residents would favour anâ€" nexation. I have been called by many taxpayers in these areas the North American continent. It is therefore in the interests of good planning to protect this development and the annexation of the lands to the north would be a logical step to insure that what is developed is in keeping esthetically with the University development to the south. drew‘s> Junior High School, digeusses one of the library books with the Honâ€" ourable J.

He who were pleased when I made the suggestion that annexation should be considured. In fact many of these groups are now circulating petitions in favour of such annexations as they are tired of living in a rural area whére they are paying high taxâ€" es and are not receiving the benefit of full municipal serâ€" vices. In regard to the vacant land there is a fallacy there as well as it was suggested that these lands are being farmed. This might be the case but they are being farmed by tenant farmers and the majority of these holdings are owned by developers. Therefore it appears to be in the interests of the Metropolitan area to take adâ€" (Continued on page 17) vantage of the existing services as these lands possess a great amount of industrial potential as well as residential, This is not merely a landâ€"grab by North York as no doubt we will have to adjust our boundaries to the south.
