A great deal of the blame for conjilned conditions are placed on the Kitchener police. Frankly we think they have little to do with it. All they can do is administer , the rules and regulations as they are given them. They do cater too much to truckers and the bus company, but many other forces do the same thing. . * Around W aterloo "*% Chamber and suggested that he be heard. The L!hnmber agreed to give the magistrate a hearing but intimated they would not apâ€" prove the change Ald. Ewald thought it would be :’m idea if the idea was reâ€" and Kitchener court be weld &n Waterloo In his opinion, Capable M. J. Smith, president of the Waterioo Chamber of Comâ€" merce brought up the 3uestion of the court move at Monday night‘s meeting of the Chamber. He said that Mnjistrnu Kirkpatrick had contacte the Chamber _ and wished to appear before their next executive meeting to present his reasons for desiring the move. Mr. Smith thought that considerâ€" ings the feelings in Waterloo that the magistrate must be a pretty brave man to appear before the While the Magistrate hasn‘t adâ€" mitted any such thing, public inâ€" dignation and opposition to such a move has now been roused to the point where civic officials would hardly dare consent to such a move even if they felt so inâ€" clined and they evidently don‘t. No doubt there @re good reaâ€" sons behind the move desired by Magistrate _ Kirkpatrick. _ Howâ€" ever, regardless of the viewpoint of a few, the public pride in Waâ€" terloo is something beyond the understanding of some who see us in the same light as many other cities. While we don‘t mind coâ€" operating with Kitchener in things mutually beneficial, we are not going to start letting Kitchâ€" ener do things their way to the detriment of this city. made by Waterloo Council was their shelving of the pnrkm?‘ meâ€" ter problem. Evidence of this is the swelling number of Kitchenâ€" er people who are domg their shopping in this city and ducking the congestion, the parking meâ€" ters and general mess which now exists on the streets in Kitchener. Kirkpatrick is a very capable and hard working magistrate. Possibly the fact that he has so much work before him is what prompted his attempt to move Waterloo‘s court to Kitchener where it would be easier for him to administer his obligations to this eity. _ _ _ _ _ __ Never at any time priop to inâ€" stallation of meters in Kitchener, were traffic conditions so badly In Waterloo, wnile at times we do have to look for a place to park in front of the store we want to visit, has not reached the stage where we have to walk a mile or so and then not only contribute to a meter, but also pay a fine. It is to be hoped that present city officials will continue to take a very dim view of the meters, the use of which is of benefit to the meter companies alone. J HS.

Waterloo would also have to pay for use of the Kitchener court. There would also be the matter of all the extra time and trouble needed to work through the Kitchener court. In Ald.

Stresses Accuracy Mayor Roberts stepped into the picture by stressing accuracy when citing figures of vacant houses, and said if sufficient number of dwellings were not available for use after restrictions were lifted, people would be in "a dilemma". Joe Meinzinger retorted he could add dozens of vacant or nearâ€"vacant homes to the survey compiled by Emel. and stated the check was reliable. On behalf of Ythe assemblage he shook hands with Mayor Roberts and thanked the counciliors. Mayor Roberts in turn confirmed council‘s interest in the venture, but said the meetâ€" ing had been called on such "short notice" some counciliors had made other arrangements. At the peak of the meeting 6 of the total 8 were present.. Meeting October 6 It is believed the discussion will proceed to either the housing and special committees or go to an open council discussion. The earli:st meeting would be Octoâ€" ber 6. An unidentified member of the assemblage rose to mention he was in favor of Kitchener joining Waterloo, and hoped Waterloo‘s Council would remedy the situaâ€" tion.

He said he felt sorâ€" ry for elderly homeâ€"owners who hoped to invest in security so they could reap the benefits when old, only to find they were now receiving unfair returns. He said rentals were never very profitâ€" able but now they are not even secure. The controls were definâ€" itely required during wartime, he continued, but are not needed toâ€" day. He said he hoped council would consider the association‘s plea, and concluded "on behalf of my groupâ€"take the things off." Suggests Council "Aslcep". An unidentified member of the assemblage rose to sl?'efl it was "too bad" an individual had to point out the soâ€"called unfairness to council and inquired "do we have to have someone come ur to take care of that?" intimating council should have perceived the situation without necessitating the appearance of the group. . After a lengthy case history. of several tenants by Mr. Emel, Ald. Arno Hauch rose to question the soâ€"called "pigpen" residences in which tenants lived and. which previous speakers mentioned the tenants in some cases would not leave and rendered the habitation uninhabitable. This was verified by Mr. Peterson who volunteered to take council members through the building, and Mr. Emel also cited a case of like nature. Hauck Questions B. of K. ‘"Why doesn‘t the board of health step in and clean them up if conditions are so bad?" chaiâ€" lenged Ald. Hauck. This brought a volley of words from Mr. Meinâ€" zinger who stated he called both the local press and the mayor when he found tenants living in an inch of water in the basement of a house, but the health board allegedly took no action. He said he personally supervised removal of the family to better quarters, but the public didn‘t hear that the baby died several weeks later. He claimed he helped many of his tenants but they turned out to be ungrateful and urged courtil acâ€" tion to fight rental controls. ‘_ he knew of 150 vacent houses 150 houses i m.‘ controls were and tem> ants â€"found they to move to another location.

He conâ€" cluded "This is your meeting, we‘re here to listen to you." Two other members of the asâ€" semblage rose to give their comâ€" ments followed by an address by the third delegate on stage, C. Peâ€" terson, who called the ‘"unfairâ€" ness terrible" and alleged the city of Kitchener was permitted to raise rents on the wooden houses in the Knollwood Park area while his tenants were pnflng only $3 more for brick dwell ‘,L He said ulthough tenants might be "sore" when restrictions were lifted, he anticipated the situation would "even itself out" in 6 months time. Says Tenants Landlords Joe Meinzinger in turn comâ€" plained some tenants even rent portions of their dwelling to other tenants and contended there were 5 families living in a house where there was originally only one. He said he contacted rental control officials, but they were unable to remedy the situation.
