Planned soon is a meeting bet- ween Aurora Council and rep- resentatives of the Ontario Highways Department to con- sider a take-over. At present, the town claims control of the highway only as far south as Dunning Avenue within its town limits. Critical issue is the entrance to the Aurora Shopping Centre from Yonge Street, plan for which has been rejected by the highways department. If Auro- ra controlled the road, council could decide where an entrance might go.

Social The report, which takes an over-all 20-year look into Rich- mond Hill's parking future, calls for eventual elimination of parking on Yonge Street. Another method would be to shorten the time-stay at the meters. Strict enforcement of the meters would have to be maintained to stop any motor- lsts from “feeding the meters” and staying in one spot all-day. This presents the problem of long-stay parkers on Yonge - who don't seem to mind paying for meters all day ~ who clutter up space which could be avail- able for the short-stay parker who wants to shop and leave soon after. I It notes the present trend to use the parking meters along Yonge and to avoid the off- street lots which are usually half empty. The report goes on to ponder at great length on means of perklng up the popularity of the meters in the down-town business section. “it was learned when enforce- ment is carried out on the lot the parkers cease to use it. This would Indicate the lot is presently not required." The report advises the meters be removed. The report reasons it "curb spaces are taken by all-day parkers the meter charges could be raised to ensure udequate spaces be- ing available to the short- term parker who has deâ€" monstrated he is prepared to pay for this privilege. It would also encourage more off-street parking.” On Sunday, September 22, Mary Jane and Laura Ann Henry, daughters of Bill and Ann Henry and nieces of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Reid were christened at Armour Heights United Church.

I am strongly confident the work- ing people will be happy to contribute to the Canada plan. Hill: The Canada Plan is in the form of “I pay as you go and someone else pays as you go.” It is like an illegal chain letter. The US. says it has $22 billion in its social security fund; if this had been invested it would be $343 billion. Addison: The Canada Pension Plan is designed to cover ev- eryone in every province. There are no restrictions on the size of the firm or length of em- ployment. There would be ha- voc and disillusionment if each province had its own plan. 1 Sincel: The plan introduced into the election campaign by the federal government doesn’t exist, has had little or no tech- nical work done on it and gives little enlightenment to the public. Following are some of the points made by debaters: Forming the opposition were Mr. Addison, Mr. Lewis, Don- ald Plaxton, Robert McVey, Thomas Broadhurst and Gerald Huntley. For the government, Mr. Sincel, Geoffrey Hill, David Norwood, Arthur Smoke, Ricki Beck and John Phillips. Mr. Phillips as president and Mr. Hill as past president are mem- bers of Canada's oldest debat- ing society, the Allin Club of Toronto. The Prime Minister’s role was taken by Toronto lawyer James Cincel and Leader of the Op- position was John Addison, York North Member of Parlia- ment. An audience of about 50 packed into Richmond Hill Magistrate’s Court to hear the debate on the resolution; “We approve the Ontario Conser- vative Government’s pension plan.” ' Speaker of the House. pre- ceded by a sergeant-of-arms bearing a rented mace, was be- wigged and black-gowned Frank Barrett, Legion president. Distinguished socialist and Toronto lawyer David Lewis last Wednesday joined the bat- tery of 12 men debating the question of pensions before the Richmond Hill Parliament. “He sees his investment as dependent on free curb park- ing but frequently resists curb parking regulations. Yet few go to the expense of off-street spaces for their employees and patrons.” The report acknowledges In some cases land values Hill Mock Parliament} Debates Pension lssues' The report goes on to say that “in order to exist the central business district mer- chants must increasingly meet the aggressive competition of the rapidly expanding sub- business district outlets. ' Suggested remedies for the problem range from upping meter rates in critical areas to encourage long-term parkers to use off-street lots, permit off- the-lot parking within short walking distance of a commer- cial use, and to recommend council give consideration to encouraging employee off- street parking. The report states con- struction of access lanes to the lots would make park- ing more readily available behind stores on Yonge Street as well as allow for provision of off~street load- ing facilities. It also recommends town council establish a definite authority for the parki..g prog- ram. ‘ In the same area, the report says, 65 percent of the 18 met- ered on-street parking places are occupied daily. The downtown shopping dis- trict of Richmond Hill is faced with a two-headed dragon in the form of off-street parking. Future plans call for creation of more off- street parking While pres- ent plans point to getting downtown motorists to use spaces now available. The recently released park- ing report notes the post office lot with 51 free off-street spaces available averages only six cars a day. ‘ The Principal Investments property at Yonge and Lorne with a free informal off-street parking capacity of 38 spaces averages about two-thirds full daily, There was no recorded vote at the conclusion of the two-hour debate mark- ed by some heckling, much laughter and partisanship. ’which the Tories flourish. There are more firms with 15 or fewer employees in this country than 15 or more and the benefits of the provincial plan are totally inadequate. The local parliament has ac- cepted a challenge debate with the Allin Club scheduled for next spring. Norwood: The Ontario plan doesn’t burden the future de- velopment of the country. McVey: Private pension schemes now existing are “en- slaving". Broadhurst: The provincial scheme is too little and too late by half a century and is parochial and ambiguous. Phillip: It is not strange to see the Liberals and Socialists sharing the same bed without benefit of matrimony. Huntley: The plain as pre- sented is a shimmering chim- era. “Lots that exist will have to bx. redesigned to,allow a com- prehensive lay-out relative to servicing areas. It must also be taken into account that through development of existing vac- ant properties now used for parking, plus elimination of on-street parking, about one third of present off-street spaces will have be replaced during the two-year period.” The report goes on to deal generally with the varieties of‘ off-street facilities and com-i parative costs. “On this simple fact he is impelled to shoulder at least a part of the costs of customer parking, Or he may only be convinced his primary need is to be certain a supply of park- ing space exists convenient to his store." The report put its fing- er on poor parking and traffic conditions as im- portant factors in uncont- rolled urban decentraliz- ation. “At the time of the spring survey, 9.1 percent of the ret- ail gross floor area and 35 per- cent of the commercial office gross floor area in the central business district of Richmond Hill was vacant." Switching to future needs of off-street parking the report states future traffic increase will call for additional and more supervised off-street lots. With the eventual elimina- tion of all parking on Yonge Street, the unsuitability of most side streets for parking, the plan suggests “all future parking needs of the down- town area will be met entirely by off-street parking spaces." make it virtually imposs- ible for the average indi- vidual merchant to deve- lop off-street parking for his business. “However, generally com- mercial property owners have changed their attitudes as they appreciate the success of their business and the value of t'.eir property depends upon greater accessibility for more customers than curb parking can provide. . . .
