T. 1e ; 4 \ <OL we? > WATERLOO, ONTARiIO, TRORSDAY, MARCH 15, 192 ~ STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED To $OME council members that paid parking is inevitable in this city is just so much bunk. So far as the aldermen are concerned, we feel twenty bucks a meeting is too damn much money. They sure as heck can‘t make thag kind of money in the business they operate or in the place they work so what gives Ald. Snider the idea that city work is worth more compenâ€" sation. We‘ll admit only one thing ... the aldermen work the one night while they could be sitt ing at home. But we work three or four nights a week and we have yet to see anyone trying to pay us for it. Maybe he is underpaid and maybe he could make good use of the extra thousand dollars a year proposed by Ald. Snider. On the other hand, Waterloo taxpayers are taking a kicking around right now and we don‘t honestly think it will be a popâ€" ular decision. JMHS. §UGGESTION THAT CONCRETE car blocks be removed from the Waterloo Square is @xcellent. The person dreaming up these atrocities must have had a couple of shots before breakfast or he wouldn‘t have gone that far. By the same token, we feel that Mayor Bauer has done a good job for the city and its residents and that he at no time has been adverse to putting into his job as mayor, a little extra time and a little extra effort. JHS. 1 DON‘T FEEL THAT Ald. Don Snider is in any position to say that Mayor Jim Bauer is the hardest working man in Waterâ€" loo. Only a man who owns his own business, all by himself can have any idea what the "hard working man" has to put up with. No modern, lowâ€"slung car get near the stupid things and many of the women driving small highâ€" built foreign cars, ride right over them. Wonder what made planners of Waterloo Square think people using it would be any more stupid than other places. A painted line has managed to control parking in every other place we have seen. Waterloo Square is having a tough time establishing itself. Not that the merchants now 0¢â€" cupying it are not pushing, just that there are not enough stores to make it big. The installation of parking meters in this area before it is established as self supporting would kill it as dead as the proverbial Dodo bird. become a big issue but we feel that council in ducking a deciâ€" sion is acting wisely. Trouble will be in getting the Provinâ€" cial government to make a deâ€" cision . . . when did they unless it was money in their pocket. "Most Under Paid Man" Paid parking in any communâ€" ity is merely a sop for an inâ€" efficient council and a means of â€" making _ up _ expenditures which they should not have made in the first place. JH.S. COLORED MARGARINE HAS Waterloo aldermen, at present, receive a maximum of $700 a year and with a proposed pay boost to $20 a meeting for 50 meetings would receive $1000, At present the mayor receives $1500 per annum plus $500 car allowance. The committee recoâ€" mmended that $1,000 be added to his yearly salary. The mayor stepped out for a few minutes during this discusâ€" Salary increases for Mayor James Bauer and members of city council were proposed at Saturday‘s Waterloo _ Council budget committee session. Alderman Donald Snider, budâ€" get committee chairman, said, "Mayor Bauer is one of the hardâ€" est working men I‘ve ever known and the most underpaid man in Waterloo." BOOST FOR MAYOR JH.S. The board plans to investigate the situation and suggest amendâ€" ments to the zoning bylaw which would allow businesses to be conducted from the home. Provisions are made for beauty pariors, barbershops and doctor‘s dentists, and osteophatic offices in three of four residential zones. Building inspector, _ Walter Scheifele, â€" said â€" hundreds of people are conducting small busâ€" inesses in their homes ranging from bookkeeping to sewing colâ€" lars on shirts. Mayor Bauer told the board that he knows of a retired busâ€" inessman who has a heavy vault built in his basement and now conducts a moneyâ€"lending busâ€" iness between vacations. _ The huge vault could no doubt be used as a fallout shelter the mayor said. s _ Included in Kitchener‘s proâ€" posed regulations pertaining to home businesses are provision for offâ€"street parking, be made; signs on homes must be nonâ€" illuminated and no more than two feet square and the fact goods are not to be displayed. Mr. Dutton feels that a change in the zoning bylaw be made to allow businesses in the home providing there is no indication of it from the outside of the home. Last week the Planning Board decided to recognize the fact that many people in the city are operating small businesses . in their homes contrary to the city‘s zoning bylaw. Most of the violations are of a minor nature the board feels, but they should be recognized rather than ignored. D‘Arcy Dutton, city engineer and planning consultant, pointed out that Kitchener is contempâ€" lating issuance of home occupaâ€" tion permits. said Mr. Scheifele said he has writâ€" ten to 39 major centres in Ontâ€" ario to find out what they are doing about home occupations. The replies will help the board in their recommendations . to in _ the council For the average home owner who supports a public â€" school taxes will be increased about $7.50 this year. Separate school supporters face a $12 tax inâ€" and 484 mills for residential separate school supporters show an increase this year of 15 mills and 24 mills respectively. The commercial rate for public school supporters 52 mills, rep resents a raise of 3 mills and the new rate of 53 mills for commerâ€" cial separate school supporters is an increase of 4 mills or $15 and $20 respectively. "Outside manifestations such as signs storage or extra smoke that would lower the values of homes in the neighbourhood should not be permitted," he Many of the violations such as renting of rooms or keep of boarders are "not desirable" Mr. Dutton said.

For the past two months both commissions have cooperated in a study of present facilities and probable ‘needs of the future. The scientific study, which reâ€" quires at least six months more before completion, will give both centres their first detailed acâ€" count of every factor of recreaâ€" tion and how it applies to each of the cities and its growth. A wallâ€"size map in the offices of the Kitchener Recreation Comâ€" mission shows the results of the study to date and present faciliâ€" ties. Details of the study are catâ€" alogued. Some cities, he stated, felt that a mile was an acceptable disâ€" tance to travel but said that no such decision had here as yet been reached. It would depend, he felt, on population density and other factors. One problem is that adults are not willing and children oftâ€" UNDER ATTACK year $18,073, from $125,852 to this year‘s $133,925.

After he had studied the city‘s future growth and possible anâ€" nexations, the chief feels that the construction of a new headâ€" quarters and the conversion of the present Albert street headâ€" quarters to the status of a sub station would suffice till such time when the land occupied by the old building is required for a new city hall. Waterloo Fire Chief, Clayton Baulk has strongly recommended that Waterloo City Council serâ€" iously consider construction of a new headquarters fire station this year on Weber St. North. The recommendation appeared in the chief‘s annual . report made to council. It is hoped to construct anâ€" other subâ€"station on Westmount road north in the future. 1. Purchase of a 625â€"gallon pumâ€" per with hose and equipment at a cost of $20,000. This unit would be placed in a subâ€"station. ‘‘The new station (on Weber Street would give us the reâ€" quired space for greater efficâ€" iency in the administration of the fire department and would also provide the necessary facilâ€" ities for the proper training of personnel, which we lack at our present location," said the chief _ Further recommendations . of the chief included: Study Underway CHIEF WANTS NEW STATION trimming sessions was the Waterâ€" loo Public Library Board.

The holder would allow the hose to be trained on a fire and leave a fireman free for other duties. 5. Purchase of another smoke ejector fan to help reduce the amount of smoke damage at small fires and facilitate the reâ€" moval of smoke and fumes from buildings. The cost of the fan would be about $100. progresses. Property losses due to fire in Waterloo amounted $28,131 or $1.29 per capita last year, the lowest of many years.

Ald. Snider agreed that ber suggestion was a good one. We have had to cut deeply into a number of essential services. We all agree that the library is essential but we must be consisâ€" tent in our thinking when makâ€" ing cuts. The request from the Waterloo Park Board was cut by $9,316 to $40,000. This means possible curtailment of the development of a new 34â€"acre park adjacent to Waterloo Park. Mayor Bauer said some new park areas, including an area on Lincoln road, could be develâ€" oped through funds made availâ€" able out of the 5% land dedicaâ€" tion required of subdividers. But before this could be done, the Parks Board must have detailed long range plans which have been approved by provincial $48,000, an increase of $8,000 over the grant of 1961. Ald. Hughes suggested a per capita grant to the library and other boards to help them in arâ€" riving at a more realistic budget was in favour of making the session lasted about 8% hours. The consensus: Pay parking is inevitable. But no definitie time for it to go inâ€" to operation has been set yet.

Positions Offered Over the past few weeks, repâ€" resentatives of 60 companies have been on the campus to interview the 70 fifthâ€"year enâ€" gineering students who are look: ing forward to receiving their degrees this summer. 8 However, as he pointed out, there would be only about 40 students trying for the w’].mm‘ offered. At least 20 of the prosâ€" pective graduates have indicated that they would like to continue study in postâ€"graduate courses after receiving their degrees from the university. The 763 car parking lot at Waterloo Square may get snow melting equipment within the next five years.

PAY PARKING? The companies affirmed that they definitely had requirements for 80 graduates. Many said that if the correct students were found, they would take more. A. S. Barber, director of coorâ€" dination and placement, has esâ€" timated the possibilities at apâ€" proximately 160. Tweive students, in addition to the 20, have already accepted positions with firms for whom they have worked in their underâ€" graduate assignments under the coâ€"operative system which mixes study and ‘on the job" assignâ€" ments. The added possibility of fail ures narrows the field of com petition still further. â€" BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 54 Ald. V. Alviano asked, "What value is a recreation committee? segment of our population? I may be wrong. Does this service give us value for each dollar for $21,625. Aiderman A. Paleczney, a forâ€" mer member of the recreation committee, pointed out that recâ€" reation costs had risen "and it is our duty to keep them within certain limits of control." He recâ€" ommended the 90 cents per capâ€" ita grant. sion of going "on a spending spree in the last month" to use up any surplus. Ald.

In _ comparison _ with _ the courses at other universities, that of the University of Waterloo stands most favourably; but, pointed out Mr. H. T. Airey, asâ€" sistant to the general manager of Noranda Mines, Ltd., the "acid test" will come when graduates have been engaged in their proâ€" fessional work a few years. ‘‘The students‘ varied work experiences provide the opporâ€" tunity for a better understandâ€" ing of the possible types of work that exist for engineers in inâ€" dustry." Mr. Sidney Marsden, personnel administrator for B. F. Good: rich Canada Ltd., said his firm gives full consideration to the hiring of students who have been with the company as underâ€" graduates. He continued, "At the comâ€" pletion of his university course the stucent is ready to take up a specific assignment without too much further ‘in company" trainâ€" ing that a graduate of convenâ€" tional courses requires. Said one student, "I have had four offers of jobs and the exâ€" perience I have had is going to play a large part in my making a decision. But it is gratifying that my biggest problem is choosing the right one." Mr. Barber said the average starting salary for graduates is $425 to $430 a month.

Snider asked that those who did not receive what they requesâ€" ted not to be disheartened but to "Carry on with renewed vigour." Mayor Bauer: The snowâ€"meltâ€" ing system will be a reality. It will be practical for use perhaps five years from now. Cost of snow melting equip» ment for the downtown lot would be $20,000. Curling championship publicityt Ald: Vincent Alviano: one of the conditions of moving down here was that we establish a city hall reserve fund. We have to make a start sooner or later.

Let‘s be realistic about this. On setting aside $25,000 this year as the start of a new city hall reserve fund: Ald. Hughes: We‘re not going into pay parking either this year. One offsets the other. Ald. Vernon Bauman: I would go along with deletion of this item for the next three or four years until we get some heavy stuff behind us. I feel we will be using this building longer than 10 years. Ald. Harold Wagner: How are you ever going to pick it up unâ€" less you start. The installment planâ€"in advange plan is still the cheapest way. Removal of _ cement bumper guide blocks â€" not settled: Ald. Hughes: I wonder if counâ€" cil should encourage use of home gas incinerators. Ald. Wagner: The â€" blocks should be removed. I‘d like to know how much the size of the lot is decreased by the blocks. Mr. Dutton: The blocks act as a guide. They don‘t cause diffiâ€" culty in snow removal either. Ald. Hughes: after you‘ve gone over them once, you‘ll never do it again. Home gas incinerators: â€" This question was brought up during a discussion on garbage disposal. Mr. Dutton: One city in Sasâ€" katchewan which financed these for its taxpayers experienced a considerable decrease in garbage collection costs. The only probâ€" lem it might create is air contamâ€" ination. The experiment in Sasâ€" katchewan should be watched carefully. Ald. Arthur Paleezny: The city should use its buying power to pick up and offer them at cost. Ald.
