We are the form of government closer to the citiz- ens of this country than either Provincial or Federal it is admit- ted that our organization, through municipal co-operation, can do more for national unity than any mhe; agency in this land of oursf

His Worship stressed the need of vision in public affairs, and of preparing for the future. ”Withln the next quarter century, changes; will be of such magnitude in the economic structure of this country that all other phases of our nation- al life must be studied and plan- ned, starting now so that we Can- adians csn still keep Canada de- inocrstic, by which I mean that the supreme power of govern- ment will remain in the hands of the people, either directly or in the hands of their chosen repre- sentstives."

As a first step he stressed the ' education of our youth, for from ; them must come the citizens of to- 5 morrow. He referred in this con-

nection to the section of the feder-

ation brief, on education, prepar- ed by Dr. LeZerte for presentat- ion to the Royal Cuu mission on

Canada's Economic prospects.

He urged that every municip '”y

start now to implement these re-

commendations. so that the facil-

ities of schools and universities

will be available and adequat to ' look after our ever increasing pop-

ulation. This, along with compet-

ent teachers. should provide the means for those with ability to equip thcrnsel-cs for the opportun- ities that will come.

Careful planning to cope with traffic problems was also essent- ial. These problems are practical- ly the same in every municipality -they differ only in size. Indors- lag the Canadian Transit Associat- ion's brlef to the Gordon Com- mission, the Federation has de-

connection he quoted the following statement from a brief prepared by Mr. Mansur:

"If our housing stock in 1980 is to match the current population projection of, say. 28,000,000 people. then one might anticipate an increase in housing stock from 3.500.000 units to 6,300,000 units. The difference between these two figures: 2,800,000 units, is an un- derstatement of the number of houses which must be built to ach- ieve this new level of housing stock. Destruction. demolition and comdemnation may amount to 200,00 to 300,000 housing units. Therefore, if the manner in which

to be maintained at present stan- dards, and if the population pro- jections are correct, one might anticipate the construction of some 3,000,000 housing units, involving a capital investment at current prices of some 540 billion."

I

if Stresses Fundamental Tasks in Municipal Administration

from Mayor Stewart's addrgss:

"To bring about necessary changes, to put into effect plans for the future. to implement the findings of the Gordon Commission as it applies to our respective towns and cities, requires the wherewithal to do it. We all have set up Town Planning Boards, and we could term them as architects or engineers for future develop- ment of our cities. But architects and engineers are neither the bull- ili-rs nor the financiers - they are the planners. It is up to us to see that they are basing their planning for physical growth (and I mean iiidiisti'ial sites, residential areas, ctuniiicrcial areas. schools, chur-

ches, ere ), with ideas to parallel -

our ecmiomic growth. To do this, there must work hetiiecn finance and plann- ing officers. only then can we be assured of ultimate success. This is the responsibility of every towns ariministrative system, and that means "Town Hall" and Coun- cil policy.

"if the planning for our physic-

al growth is conjunctive with our -

economic gruuth, it will aid cred- it-worthy borrowing. Planned bor- rowing will solve many of our municipal problems. However, it will not eliminate the need for specific furiiis of financial aid from

the senior government. We must . make sure that our own municipal

financial structure is in order and economically sound. Then, and on- ly then, can we make our de- mands for financial assistance to 1 those senior bodies".

l NEW rsx AGREEMENT

but to spread outside the existing? Hwe are an agreed that the pres"

ence of Municipal representatives lat the October Federal-Provincial Conference marked a significant lstep forward in our long effort to have the senior Governments of , Canada recognize the financial dif- ificulties under which municipal .governments are operating, But, i it is only a step. Our Federation ' must go further. We must use all our influence and all our energy in bringing about, first, a new tax lagreement, and secondly: a new allocation of responsibilities. ! "It was recognized and acknow- ,li-dged by every Provincial Pre- -mier attending the Agenda Plan- ning Conference held in advance of the October Federal Provincial l Conference of last year. Some Pro- , vincial Governments have already , introduced policies which provide E supplementary revenue to Munic- ipal Governments on one basis or another. Other Provincial Govern- ments have intimated their con- cern and their desire to stabilize ,and strengthen the revenue re- : sources of Municipal Governments. But all of them say there is a limit to how far they can go and. without exception, they place that limit within the framework of a more acceptable and more ad- equate distribution of the combin- cd taxing resources of the Fed- eral and Provincial governments.

"In as much, therefore, as the Municipal Governments have as much at stake in any redistrib- ution of Federal-Provincial reven- ues as have the Federal and prov- incial Governments, it is logical and just that the Municipal point of view should find expression by municipal representatives within the Councils of Provincial deleg- ations attending Federal-Provlno lal Conferences where these mat- ters are under discussion.

'As of yet. nothing has come as 3 result of the October d' cussions, which would in any way indicate that a solution of the Municipal tax and finance structure is on the way to being resolved. Nor is there any hope that, within the frame- work of the new proposed Fed- eral-Provinclal tax and Fiscal Agreements, it will be resolved.

"Our Conference here in Ham- ilton, there fore, sees us in no way further advanced than we were when we discussed the financial problems of. municipal govern- ments in year ago. What our next steps are to he is for this Confer- cnce to decide. In my view, we should state frankly and boldly our cases for s new agreement and press forward in every front until we have achieved it. Then and only thcb can the municipal governments of Canada hope to cope with the mounting demands for more adequate services and improvements which the growth and development of our cities and towns require."

New York Central Selling Stations

NEW YORK (AP-The New York Central Railroad Monday put up for sale hundreds of pas- senger stations strung along its

' 10,700-mile system.

President Alfred E. Perlman said the Central will lease back whatever station space it needs for operations. He added that sale of the station properties, which range from big terminals to the smallest bnanch line way station, will have no effect on the quality of rail service.

The central said the decision to sell was made in an effort to rc- ducc its passenger deficit, which it figured at 837,788,353 for last year.

Guelph Has Floral Clock And Calendar

GUELPH, Ont. (CF) n One of the major tourist attractions in this western Ontario city is ti foral clock which not only tells the time but also shows the day, month afid year.

The timepiece. s creation of Parks Superintendent .Iock Clark, is almost entirely mechanical. Only the date must be changed by hand and Mr. Clark is out early every morning to make the neces- sary alterations.

The hands of the clock are alu- minum troughs holding plants and flowers. The troughs are attached by rods to a small electric motor in a chamber under the clock. The pointed ends of the hands are palnted white, in contrast to the green of the arms and the yellow of the numerals.

A total of 6,000 blooms of vari- ous kinds have been used. The hub of the clock is in coils and the numerals are set in variegated plants of the same species.

Around the clock itself are circles of silver - leaf geraniums. red iresene. blue lobelia and white alyssum.

Mr. Clark has even used plants

wiirn over-curious tourists off the timepie L.

In 1! small plot at the base of the clock the words "keep off" have them lettered in green tclantherls.
