He reported that Equity Leaseholds has refurbished the building and feels that more parking space is needed than is at present available in front. Therefore it has acquired a conditional offer to purchase the lot abutting the property to the east, on which there is at present a house numbered 44 Church Street North. It is proposed to raze the house and provide angle parking for tenants and employ- ees and also access to the vacant area behind the building which could also be used for parkâ€" ing and for deliveries. “This rear parking space would not add greatly to the traffic on Church Street, since it will be mostly day-long parking with client and customer parking in the from," he maintained. “The offer to pur- I am very reluctant to approve anything which ' may prove detrimental to the people living there.

Mr. George pointed out that there are other commercial uses on Church Street, such as a lawyer’s office, a real estate office and two parking lots. “Council has foreseen by Bylaw 66-71 that the block between Yonge and Church will become commercial.” The committee decided that prior to re- ceiving the application for rezoning the plan- ning staff should undertake a survey of the residents on Church Street between Dufferin and Centre Streets to determine their opinion of the creation of a parking lot on this resi- dential lot. atllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“mumllllllllllllllllllllll\“lllllllllllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll-. ‘ Property owners on North Church Street will be polled for their reaction to an applicaâ€" tion for rezoning of a lot in their area to pro- vide additional parking space for Richmond Square, the former Canadian Legion building, now owned by Equity Leasehold.

This unit continually and in- stantaneously logs and dis- plays to the police dispatch- ers on TV monitors the iden- tity, location and operational status of all vehicles and police personnel involved in patrol duties. As a result, at any given‘ time the dispatch control knows the exact displacement} of his force and can respondl to any. emergency situations immeidately. At the end of each day a detailed printout is provided of all activities. Information to the central dispatch computer is initiated from the patrol vehicles, which are provided with their own keyboards and visual display units. The key board terminal also enables the officer to send and receive messages, which are displayed on the small TV monitor in his car, enabling him to get instant information and act quickly and with greater safety than before.

Her talk dealt with early spring Eflowering bulbs and was illus- ‘trated by colored slides from her own garden. The very early small bulbs were emphasized â€"â€" the bul- bous iris, the species crocus, snowdrops, chionodoxa mus- acari, the early narcissi, the fritillaries and early wild or cultivated plants which bloom along with them such ‘as hepatica, dog-toothed vio-. let and Julia primroses. All these are treasures in the garden, not only for their beauty but also for their hardiness and ease of culture, their earliness, and the ac- commodating way in which they fit into rock planting or la shrubbery.
