Recommended: Rapid growth in Waterloo creates many problems for our newly installed council, perhaps the most important is the need for good roads, sidewalks, sewâ€" ers and other services which come under the Capital Works program for 1966. This could total in excess of a million dolâ€" lars. Surprisingly, out dfvtâ€"lie 61 polls in Waterloo, 59 went "yes", only ed a ‘"no‘"‘ vote. This gave the *"yes" group a majority _ of 68.58% (only 60% was required), 46 ballots were spoiled. a winner, just send in your sales \sh’ps from those merchants who are participants in the program.

Because of a power failure, votâ€" ers in the poll located at 384 Erb St. west cast their ballots by candle light. With such a light turnout of interested citiâ€" zens, returns came in very fast. The first poll to count their bal lots reported the results at 7:07 p.m. (they closed at 7:00 p.m.} and by five minutes before eight, all results were ‘rex;(;x:t-e.d In his brief, Mr. Dutton also lists many, many more projects that should be considered, but. may be left till the following year. It only remains now for council to arrive at a decision as to which works will be acâ€" ceptable for the capital budget. KRing to the new Zehr‘s buildâ€" ing site: all services for the exâ€" tension of Regina to University and the opening of Hickory from King to Hickory; pavement and walks from on University from Albert to PhiNip: pavement on Hickory from King to Spruce.

Htâ€"is also recomntended that the section of land békhind the A & P be paved to provide ~needed parking spaces for the Square. Other â€"recommendations â€" will include the placing of a traffic light at the corner of Caroline and William; a pedestrian crossâ€" ing light on University just east of Mayfield (providing the school will ‘provideâ€" and | maintain a walkâ€" through their property to eonnect with this crossing); the placing of an aduit _guard at Weber and Noecker St.; the placing of an overhead flasher light at Albert and Columbia and the placing of "No Stopping"* signs on the east side â€"of Weber St. from the Kitchener limits to Marshall St. Local Improvements: west corner. Bearinger Rd., the main access rd. to Lakeshore Village subdivision, is not suit able for the amount of traffie that will flow along it, therefore it is proposed to widen and graâ€" vel to an adequate width, from the CNR to the west limit of the subdivision. If the Industrial Basin is to be useable, it is necessary to build a limited amount of streets each year. Estimates for this year _ includes _ approximately 1,000 ‘ ft. of construction.â€"The completion of Weber St. from Dutton Dr. to Northfield to coâ€" incide with the widening that the Waterloo Suburban Roads Comâ€" mission plan for that section o6f Ehe Ra. outside the city limits. Mayor Arthur Paleczny said that he was "surprised" at such a very light vote, however; he noted, public opinion has been changing over the years so it is not too surprising that they have taken the broad view and made it legal to haye a drink without necessity of having a "sham" meal placed on the table. One thing is certain, the city will enâ€" joy an increase in our business tax. SUBSCRIPTION $3.00
