He felt the brief â€"- which was compiled from a series of ques- tionnaires mailed out to residents in the south- west are: of town â€" did not necessarily apply to the habits of those resi- dents living nn the east side of Yonge Street. Reeve Donald Plaxton said he thought the "brief was terrific and I ‘mave nothing but support (or it“. One councillor comâ€" mented he took Yonge because he felt everyone took Bayview Avenue to avoid the traffic.

IOU of Fire Every ten years wasteful Canadians run up a stag- gering IOU in fire destruc- tion of more than $1,000.- 000,000. Every Canadian in the long run has to chip in and pay off the debt, through insurance premiums. Else the victims take it on the chin.

"is extension of Bathurst Street to Vaughan Road and a widening of Bay- view Avenue plus provision of a non-stop express bus service between Richmond Hill and Eglinton." The brief stresses, how- ever, that without the rail- way system the above aids would only be a partial an- swer and not a permanent solution to the major prob- lems of transportation in the northern fringe areas. The report. based on a survey in the southwest area of the town, states the rail- way system could be sup- ported by extension of the TTC rapid transit route to Sheppard and later to Steeles Avenue. “If commuter train serv- ice is instigated." the brief continues. “consideration would have to be given to providing crosstown com- muter buses to the trains.” Committee members feel that Metro planning should come from an extension to Steeles in any case to ease the problem. 7699 YONGE STREET CSA is the mark of the Canadian Standards Assoc- iation. testers of 'new elec- trical and fuel-burning equipment.

Council members com- mended Chairman Handbury and his committee for their work on the brief which took about a month. Some skepticism was voic- ed as to whether the results of the southwest half of Richmond Hill would have coincided with the eastern portion if the survey had been taken there instead. Other members felt Bay- view Avenue was used almost as much or more than Yonge Street. Still others said they used Yonge Street because they felt everyone else was using Bayview to avoid the traffic. Despite Canada‘s population growth, the fire death rate remains fairly con- stant, although last year there was an increase of 43 deaths. The record shows 596 fatalities in 1964. compared with 553 in 1963. Once again, children lead with 250 victims, followed by 243 men and 103 women. Worst year was 1957, with 638 deaths. Excluding forest and federal government fires. fire waste per capita population is reckoned at $7.67 in 1964 and $8.15 in 1963. Last year an estimated $147,500,000 in all property went up in smoke in 77,000 reported firesâ€"or about $1,918 a fire. In 1963. the cost of 83,207 fires was $154,051,629 â€"or $1,850 a fire. Only direct costs enter into the fire waste assessment of $147 millions. Taking into account the indirect economic factorsâ€"including industrial production and job disruptionâ€"the total burden of a year of fire would be $750,000,000. fire authorities say. This works out to a $38.99 cost for every man. woman and child in a country of 19235000 population. Nobody, the taxpayer least of all, escapes the responsibility of fireâ€"on the job and in the home: Fires that devastate their homes are proving more costly to Canadians than ever before. That glaring fact is revealed in the 1964 assessment of fire damage in Canada. Today the average cost of a household fire is $800. Ten years ago it was $400. Industry, [00, is finding fires more expensive.
