Mr. Seagram stated that when Mr. Leavitt was here about six weeks ; ago, in comversation with him, Mr. ,‘{. Leavitt asked if anybody could _ be ~got to take an interest in the plan, . _ and raise the money by private subâ€" _ scription, and if the Council would not give somcthing towar‘s the amount under these circumstances. Mr. Seagtam said he had tol® Mr. Leavitt that if the people looked favorably on the scheme, the amount could be raised. There is _ still some indefinitencss about Berlin‘s plan, said Mr. Thos. Hiilliard, as no pian has been _ preâ€" pared as yet. He agreed with Mr. Neagram that the principle itsolf was desirable, as it is a good thing to have the town laid out on <a suitâ€" able plan. There is, however, no particular _ reason _ why _ Waterloo should hitch up with Birlin in hayâ€" ing a plan made. There should be no more â€" laying out _ of subdivisions, streets, etc. without a plan, and these subdivisions submitted to the Council. ‘"We will grow," said Mr. Hilliard, "we won‘t always remain this way." In order to take advanâ€" ge of this, we should look ahcad ‘{n‘:\d act on a â€" proâ€"arranged system., i may be Waterioo should go ahcad and let Berlin go ahead. Mr. Leavitt could be secured if necessarv. or any other man could be secured . to . do the work. It is supposed that $5u0 or $600 might cover ie expense, but this is not known fer certain. The third member of the committee Mr. J. Chas. Muclier, said he could add very little to what the previous speakers had said. . \is. Mueller said that Mr. Breithaupt had informed the committee that i Waterloo didn‘t want to go in with Berlin, Mr. Lea vitt could be dealt with direct. _ Mr Mueller said he was in favor of fnayâ€" ing a plan of the Town oï¬ Watetloo. ~"It is the right course to _ pursuc. We have certain strsets _ butting against properties | which huildings shoald never have been allowed to go on," he continued. Mro MueHer\ said that he folt that the section of Ber "Berlin is going on with it," ho said, "and no doubt they will have some thing worth while, no matter if we join them, or they join us, it is a good thing any way." _‘ ‘‘I think it is our duty to look to the future to see that our town _ is laid out properly, that a plan _ is made, and that anybody building would have to _ come to the _ ‘Fown Council and get a > permit to build. On this plam, oi course, all the strcets would be laid out, and later would save the town some money;," continued Mr. Seagram. Mr. Leavitt had favored the figure "8," and _ if it was only going to cost .$500 or $600 Mr. Seagram said he was in favor of having thr plan © made. Mr. Seagram informed the mecting that the committee had met Mr. W. II. Breithaupt, viceâ€"president of the Berlin Civic Planning â€" Association, and asked qucstions pertaining to Waterloo‘s interests in the plan. Mr. Breithaupt presented the committee with a plan for the Board of Trad¢, showing what steps had already been taken in Berlin, but nothing had been done with Waterloo. "It is now â€" up to the Board of Trade whether they will go in with Berlin on the plan," said Mr. Seagram. The committee were informed that the plan _ was going to cost Berlin about $2,500, and if Waterloo went in on the same plan, it is expected, that their sharo would be $590 or $600. The Berlin association had secured $200 from the Berlin City Council to assist in the work, and they expect to receive a grant from next year‘s Council, _ he continued. > The first business dealt with was to hear the verbal report pf the speâ€" cial Civic iPlanning Committes. This committee, appointed at a former meoting, was composed of Messrs. E. F. Seagram, Thos. Hilliard and J. Chas. Muellez. esting. as they had to do with the _ future growth of Waterloo.

V. Wilson. _A pian would show _ the streéts. the residential and â€" factory districts, whore streets started and where they ended, etc. _ Mr. Wilsqn said he thought if the Council had a [plan t)lmy would have an easiet time }iu dirocting people who wish to purâ€" [('hasc factory ‘sites. It would . also allow the town to purchase sites to )on’er to factories, and thus encourage new industries. A plan would . also ipl‘o\'id[‘ residential districts, so that people building homes would _ know that in the future they would not be under obnoxious smoke. In respect to going:â€"in with Berlin, â€" not _ for amaigamation but for the plan, it would be wise to coâ€"operate _ ‘with Berlin, ard the same man coul@@lraw a comprehensive »plan. Coâ€"opetation would have a distinct advantage, in somuch that when Berlin gets . a plan and Watcrloo does not _ there "\ull be a distinct contrast. _ Berlin is going ahead, anc if separate plans are gotten out they are not likely to be uniform. Of course if it is expected that Watcrioe is going to be backward, it wouid be no use in goetting a plan. In conclusion Mr. Wilson said he thought the: Board . of |dec should have an Industrial Comâ€" lmmu‘ and all these things could be worked onut together + l Mr. A. C. Movet said he was _ in favor of the scheme. and had _ been jand a recomynendation had been made {to the _ Town Council. That body‘ said they had no momey. ‘""It looks," ‘said Mr. Bauer, vas if Berlin _ was going to raise that amount privateâ€" ‘1y." a good one. He said he thought that Berlin should _ have widened theit main strect now when they are laying permanent pavement, before big buildâ€" ings are erected. He felt that Watâ€" erloo should have a plan, even if it cost $1006 or $500 it would be money well spent. Ar. C. W. schiedel said that he Nad given it very little thought, â€" and wished to learn the opinion of others. President Bauer said he thought it was a step in the right direcfion, but it did not have to be done this year. Mr. R. Roschman said he thought the city plan would be a good thing, but if the time was ripe now he did not know, as it may be wise to see what a plan for Berlin will look like. 1 Mr. J. Kauiman asserted that while he had not given the matter much thought, he believed the idea to be Mavor Fischerâ€"‘"He will have to submii the plan to the Council." > In reference to ‘"blind" _ roads, Mayor Fischer said that these â€" have been sgleguarded the last few _ years, and if the Council has its eyes open there would not be blind strects. He referred _ to Queen, _ Young _ and Foundry streets as. examples. ‘"‘These things can be avoided, and I don‘t see so much in civic planning for the town of Waterioo." In conciusion Mr Fischer said that he was willing . to submit to the majority, however, . if they wished a plan. ‘"‘You have struck the nail on the head," said Mayor Fischer. ‘‘We have had the matter of civic plafning up in the Council, and we came to the conclusion that we were a "little ahead of the times. The thing | was we wrere curtailing other _ expenses when we had bad roads, . and we should. not put the money in city planning." Continuing, Mr. Fischer said Waterloo was pretty well off in respect to properly laid out streets, etc. The Waterlow streets go right through to the Berlin boundary, and if Berlin would open up their strects there would be more than one main thoroughfare. ~ Mr. Thos. Hilliardâ€"‘*"‘Suppose some one lays out a plan on the subâ€" urbs will he have to submit the plan to the Council?" favor ot the when it was meeting. Mr. J.H.

This has _ been proven again and again. Mr. (ico. Dicbel expressed his opinâ€" ion that the time had come for _ a little planning for Waterloo, but there is no reason why it shouid he done on the spur of the moment us â€" ‘it could be taken up later. ‘"Why go on with this in a topsy turvy sort of Dr. Hilliard said he hadn‘t a doubt that a plan was necessary, as a Council one year may make a ‘misâ€" take, and waste a lot of money. "I think it very desirable to get an apâ€" propriate plan at as early a date as possible," the doctor concluded. Mr. J. B. Hughes said he did no# understand what was to be done. If the land was all prairie then ho could see the wisdom of having a plan. He said he saw difliculties in the way of the figure "8" plan. It would mean the coming togethér of four streets where the "8" crossed, and where would that be? With the figure ‘"‘8" there would have to be a treâ€" nendous cutting up of streets, which would not shorten the distance any. )The roads in that case could not go through the park or the Mutual Life property, and if a plan is to be laid it must have some uniformity. Watâ€" erloo has Park St. running to BerJ lin and in Waterloo the road is in good condition, but when it reaches Betlin it is aimost impassable.. When King street was blocked, while pavyâ€" ing, and rigs would go around by way of Park S#., and â€" continually crossed the Berlinâ€"waterloo Hospital proverty, cutting it up. Mr. Hughes said he could see no sense in a . big circle. The main strees is crooked, and Albest _ strect is at an angle, which is certainly not artistic. Conâ€" cluding Mr. Hughes said that Berlin is ambitious and they should be alâ€" lowed to go ahead and make a planr. Berlin Needs it Badly. way?" he asked. as he said he belicvâ€" ed. it advisable to allow Berlin to got their plan, as they need it awfulâ€" iy bad. In reference to Mr. J. Roos‘ stateâ€" ment regarding _ obtaining additional factories, Mr. Diebel said _ Waterioo already had their share, having 33 or 34. Mr. S. B. Bricker said he thought Waterloo was away ahead of time in discussing civic planning, as to spend $400 or $500 on a plan would be a waste of money. Mr. Thos. Hilliard said that with few exceptions the opjnion was that civic planning is a desiftable _ thing. in reference to Mr. Hughes‘ idea . of the figure "8" he said it was â€" not ncocessary to cut the streets up, but these streets would generally _ conâ€" form with the figute "8." Mr. Hilâ€" liard then moved a resolution, that the Board of Trade approves of the principle of having a plan. prepared for the town of _ Waterloo with a view to ha‘ing future plans. Mr...J. B. Hughes moved an amendâ€" ment that the idea of obtaining a plan be given a six months‘ hoist. Mr. S. B. Bricker seconded the amendment C The question was asked if Mr. Leaâ€" vitt was to draw a plan, and it was not approved, would it have to be accepted. Mr. Muellet replied that the _ idca was to have a couple capable _ men from Berlin assist Mr. Leavit, and Waierloo could also have a man to help. 6 â€" Dr. Hilliard informed the meeting that the plan would not have to be paid for until accepted. Mr. Muellet seconded ‘the motion. He said that he though® the _ figure "8" idea was Mr. Brcithaupt‘s alone and that Mr. Leavitt was not very stronz on it. Others who spoke were Messts. D Roschman, W. .J. Beatty, E. M Deviit, A. E. Devitt, Mr. _ Wright Wr. Latsch, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Halhn and others, as to have a plan made by _ Mr. Leavitt including Berlin, may _ be too extensive.

However, he stated that the County Treasurer was of the opinion that â€" the ecovernnznt would inctease tneir proportion. In manv cases Urâ€" ban municipalities vote money to help the rural parts fix the roads. If anyâ€" thing is to be accomplished there will _ have to be broader prinâ€"izl»s, and the beneficiaries will have to help. § Mayor Fischer stated that thore is no statute labor on these roads, ‘a% the township fs supposed to keep the Deputy Reeve Schiedel said _ there was a mistake in thinking the Counâ€" ty must take the initiative in good roads. The County Council sends the report to â€" the Ontario Government, and the township pays 2â€"3 of the cost, and the government 1â€"3. Mr. Diebel said that the making of good roads was not a n>w thing in Ontario. Other counties are spending large | cuas fer acal wotk, and :t only requires this Board of irade to work it up. The Provintial Gove‘nâ€" ment grants 1â€"3 of theâ€"expense, while the Domimion government will give some, say 3â€"5.
