CITY WILL

Continued from page 1

He stated that the City did not know exactly where it stood on the matter but he considered that the indemnity offered by the company was worthless as the company were doing business through a. finance corporation and the Council were not dealing directly with the com-

Iny. --

Last. night Councillor Cox stated that no action could be taken against the City if no revenue were taken from the meters. He has in- structed the Recorder to get in touch with the meter firm's lawyers in Toronto to clarify the situation and until this is done the meters will not be used.

Program Suspended

The share cost program of pav- ing the section between the curb and the sidewalk was suspended un- til further notice. This action was taken as it was thought that the program was unfair to private property holders who sometimes had no need for the paved section.

Under the arrangement the sec- tion betwean the curb and the side- walk has been classed as sidewalk pavement and the cost is equally divided between the City and the property holder.

Councillor Johnston int. used the subject and pointed out that some people desired this pavement and others did nqt. He thought the section should be treated as per- manent street pavement whereby the property holder paid only one third of the cost.

Councillor J. D. Stewart agreed

' that it should be classed more as

street pavement than sidewalks. Councillor Cox stated many of the people were complaining because they did not know what they were paying for. '

Councillor Johnatone suggested that private property holders be set free from assessment and that com- mercial places -only should pay. It was pointed out that in some cases i'. was difficult to distinguish be- tween privato property and com- mercial places.

. Street Work

Councillor J. D. Stewart reported that April id had been set as a ten- tstlve data for patching operations to begin. This will be two weeks ahead of last year, he pointed out. He stated that street sweeping had commenced yesterday, three weeks earlier than i950.

He also stated that the purchase of a mobile broom was under con- sideration. Such a broom would sweep is miles in one day, he add- ed, and would definitely improve in keeping the City clean. He said he was not entirely sold on the idea but wanted to hear expressions from the rest of the Council. '

Councillors L.Il. Prowsa and.A.fl.. Corrnley stated they were not in favor of the sweeper as it would eliminate too vmany men from summer work.

The tender of the Redmond Elec- tric Compan was accepted for the installation of traffic lights. The installation will cost. about M120. a corner.

Victoria Paris Lights

M

Councillor Boston, Chairman of the Light Committee reported that he had been discussing the matter of installing light at Victoria Park with Premier Jones and that the Premier had stated the Government and Council would come to an as- reement over the costs.

Councillor Gill. Keefe, Chaimian of the Public Property committee, was authorised to erect posts around King Square in order to prevent cars from crossing it. Councillor Keefe also recommended that the west and of the square be seeded down and that pavement be laid on a walk through the centre of the square.

A five year lease on the fish mar- hat. in the Market Building was Illnfld to Mr. WJ1. MacNeii. Mr. MacNeii has leased the fish market for the past five years.

Suggests lneraasa

A proposal to increase the wages of part time laborers in the City was made by Mayor MacDonald who read the following statement at the close of the meeting: "During the out few days we see by the press that the cost of living has increased by 5 points. This. as you all know. far exceeds any monthly increase heretofore. and in view of this we will have to change our legislation for casual laborers. our other em- ployees. who work on a yearly basis are more favorably situated. the occasion arises when it is deem- ed necessary to further consider the wages of the class referred to. I have no doubt the Council will, give it the consideration it s. At the present time we think thus smplwsss who only work for a minor portion of the year should be given an lacrosse withxa view to
