The Mayor sugges~ed that since new Boards and, Committees

RECONSIDERATION: ',' NO. OF COUNCIL
At the Council meeting qf Sept. 5th, Ald. Stockall gave
MEETINGS notice of reconsideration of the motion that Council continue
to meet once monthly_on a regular basis. In his presentation
of additional information in support of recoilsideratiqn, Ald.
Stockall advised that during the three-month summer peri?d from
July to September, when Council reverted back to a single
regular monthlym~eting, a t01;ial of twelve meetings were called.
He suggested that the business conducted at these numerous
meetings (opening of tenders, Civic Center proposal, eto.)
'-~.~':-~-·----·-"could-·have-been--consolidated into two regularlY schedUled
meeti~gs per month. He felt that rE,'lgularly scheduled evening

interested members of the public who find 'it more convenient to
- attend at this hOur.' _ It was moved ~;(, AId. Stockall and Sanford
and carried that Council's original motion now be reconsidered.
It was moved in amendment by AId. Stockall and Sanford that
Council revert back to the previous 'trial arrangement of holding
,two regularly scheduled monthly meetings. AId. Grarifield,
Brownlow, Davis, and Weldon spoke in 'ppposition to the amendment.
They felt that the second monthly meeting tended to reduce the
_ effi,cienqy of Council, and, resulted in prolonged debate without , - .
really accomplishing more work in the extra time allotted.
AId. Granfield said it appeared that even with two meetings
per month, additional meetings would be reQui~ed to open tenders
and deal with other special items. AId. Brownlow suggested
_that perhaps consideration should be given to abolishing all
Co~ittees 'and Boards (with the exception of the School and
Library Boards) and have Council meet several times monthly as.
, a Committee-of-the-Whole ,to deal with all City business. In
this way, all members of Council would know exactly 'what is
going on and some of the.repetitious debate,which occurs in
Committee and again in Council, might be eliminated. AId. Davis
. ·and Stubbs favoured this suggestion. AId. Stubbs was opposed
to the amendment, based partially on the Solicitor's advice that
a second monthly meetin'g must follow the same format as the . first meeting. The amendment was defeated_ (AId. Weldon, Granfielr
Brownlow, Stubbs, Wambolt, Davis, Barber, and Hampson voting ,
against). ,The motion resulted in a tie vote and carried, with
the Mayor, casting the deciding vote in favour.
HECONSIDERATION: At the Sep.t. 5th Council- meeting, AId. Sanford gave notice SALE OF LEAMAN DRIVE PROPERTY of_reconsideration of a motion approving the recommendation of
~.-~~-------~---~-- the F'inance...:&-_Executive--Committee-that--Oity-owned--land,
. located on Leaman Drive, be put up for public tender ,with a '
proposal call being included in the public tender call.

least a further six-month period,and outlined his reasons for
proposing a delay in the tender call. It was moved by AId.
Sanford and Stubbs and carried that Council's original motion
now be reconsidered (AId. Davis 'abstained from voting and from
participating in the debate). It was moved by AId. Sanford and
Stubbs that the sale of 'the property be deferred for a, six
month period and, prior to the matter again being brought before
. Council, the Planning Director be requested to report on the
best use for this land. The·motion to defer was d~feated (AId.
~amps.on, McDonah, Fredericks, Sanford, and Stubbs voting in
favour) •
Speaking on the original motion, those members of Council
,supporting it" stressed th~t the proposals received for the_
land need not be accepted if they ar~~tisfactory.
Several members, however, felt the ~nd s~uld be retained by
the City until after completion of the North End bridge in
anticipation of rising larid costs in this area. AId. Smith and
__ Wambolt suggested that the City cann.ot afford to go into land
speculation, but AId. Stubbs felt that we are already land
speculating with the new north end Industrial Park. She and
Ald. 'Fredericks favoured a comprehensive study of all City
owned. lands and their future use by the Planning Director •. . .
It was moved by AId. Stubbs and Sanford that the matter be
refer:r:ed to t'he 'Planning Director, the. Recreation Dept., and
to staff for an overall study of City-owned lands, and a report
,brought. back for Council's consideration. AId. Sanford
supported the mQtionto refer and suggested that Council would
be very' short-sighted in approving a tender call for the Leamar,l

•
draft proposal by the Planning Board and the ·Welfare Committee
re the rental of prem'ises. Ald. Fredericks said that' after
'considerable study, he has come to the conclusion that the
protection of tenants and landlords alike can best be approached
by reconsidering By-law G-120 (Iliinimurn Standards for Buildings),
now on Council fS continuing agenda. It was moved by Ald.
Fredericks and Sanford and carried that By-law C-120 be recon
'sidered at the next meeting of the .Town Planning Board. Ald.
Fredericks asked to be notified of this meeting so that he may
attend.
REZONING: This date was set by Council for public hearing in TUMMEL DR.& GLENCOVA DRivE connection with a request to rezone certain lots in the Tam
•
" ,
OfShanter Subdivision on Tummel Drive and Glencova Drive, from
R-l-,A. to R-2-A Zone. Approval. of the rezoning request has been
recommended by the Director of Planning and no objection~ hav~ ; ,
been received to date. The appropriate amendment to By-:-law #74
was presented for Council fS approval.
It was moved by Ald. Brownlow and Barber and carried that
leave be given to introduce :the amendment to By-law #74 and
that it now be read a first time.

connection with a request from the residents of Grand View
Drive that their area .be rezoned from its present R-2-A Zone to
an R-l-A Zone. Contrary to the recommendation of the Planning .. '
Director, the Planning Board recommended approval of the reque~t
and the setting of a date fo'rpublic he·aring. It was noted by
the Clerk-Adminis'trator that no objections have been received
to date. The appropriate .amendment to By-law #74 was presented
for Council's approval.
It was moved by Ald. Sanford and Stockall and c~rried that .'
leave be given to introduce the amendment to By-law #74 a~d that
it now be read a first time.
It was moved 'by Ald. - Stockall andSanford arid carried that
the amendment to By-law #74 be read a second time.
Unanimous consent was given by Council for third reading
of the amendment.
It was moved by Ald. Stockall and Sanford that the amendment
to By-law #74 be read a third time, and that the Mayor and the . ,. .,
Clerk-Administrator be authorized to sign and seal the said by-
law on behalf' of the City.
In answer to a question from Ald. Stubbs,' the Planni~g
Director explained that· he was opposed to the rezoning on the
principle that it is the City's prerogative to establish re
zoning; by rezoning this area to R-l-A as requested, City staff , ,
is becoming, in effect, ~he enforcement officer for a private.
agreement between tne home owners and the developer. The motion
for third reading carried.
CONTEST: NAME' FOR Council considered a letter from the Dartmouth Junior . CENTRAL DISTRICT . COLLECTOR Chamber of Commerce, reduesting permission to sponsor a.contest

the right to accept names put forward by' other groups or by
individual citizens as well. Council ag~eed,with both these
opinions. The motion carried. .
MONTHLY REPORTS ,It was moved by AId. Sanford .and Stockall that the follow-

ingfive monthly repo~ts be approved by Council:
Medical Health Officer Victorian Order of Nurses Chief of Police Fire Chief Building Inspector
Referring to the Fire Chief's report, which stat~d that the
Fire Dept. filled a total' of 203 wells during ~he month'of
September, AId. Stubbs suggested that resE,onsibility for this
service should rest with the \'J'ater Utility instead of with the
Fire Dept. It was moved by Ald~ Stubbs and Weidon and carried
that this matter be referred to staff for' a repo,rt to the
Finance & Executive Committee f6r a re-evaluation of the ~wo
budge~s involved (Fire Dept. and Water Utility budgets). AId. ; , . - . / . . .
Davis suggested that the commitiee, shouid also be provided with
an opiniQn from the Solicitor CiS to wh.ether ?r not there is a
difference in the ~ctual affect on these two budgets since the
money provided for the operation of each department ultimately
, comes from the same source.
Referring to the Pol'ice 'Dept. 'report, Ald. Weldon suggested
a furth~r breakdown of the information on cases prosecuted (~~~_
the number of male/female 'offences). The mo'tion to adopt the
monthly reports carried.

: ___ ~_~A~-reque steCi,---a- report---on~tha-recent--Ma1n~St~eet traf'fic
study, containing a number of recommended solutions to the
existing problems, was presented by the Planning Director.
This report was originally requested in conjunction with con-'
siderat.ion of an application fo~ permit to build a car wash at
the corner of lliairi . and Major Streets, but befbre making his .' . , ' ','
prese~tation, the Planning Director reco~ended that these. two· , .
items be dealt with separately since action is required to
improve the Main Street traffic situation whether the car wash
is~approyeg. J:~.y._.Qqunc il or not •
The traffic study, which deals with that section of Main
Street f'rom the MicMac Rotary to Helene Ave., has identified the
problem intersections as the two entrances to the Sobey's--
Shopping Centre, Gordon Ave. and lliajor Street, and the eastern - r
K-Mart entrance by the Esso Service Centre. It was suggested
that two actions are necessary to res'olve the present traffic'
problem, namely, turning lanes must be provided and traffic on
Main Street must o'ccasionally be interrupted to permit easier
access f'rom si-de street. entrances. The channellirig 'of inter
section traffic by painting channels and directional arrows on
the pavement, was therefore recommended, tog~ther with the
installation of semi~actuated traffic lights at the intersection
of Main Street, Gordon Ave., and Major Street. The chanrielling
of traff'icas recommended would also involve the r~mo~al of 'on
street parking from the Shell Station to a point somewhere near
the Dairy Queen.
The Planning Dire-Q'torrecommended that tenders be called
for the supply and .installation of traffic l'ights and for the
lining of the street as indicated in the plan. It was noted
that the proposal presented to C~uncil has been approved by the
Provincial Traffic Engineer. The Province wi:I.J.~h~re in ~h~ ---------"-~--~~---~-

cost of lining' the stveet might be shared by the 'PrOVince as
well, since this is a main art~rial highway. It was moved by
AId. Granfield and Brownlow that Council approve the proposal
recommended in the Planning Director's report and that tenders
be called for this project. (At AId. Davis' suggestion, Council
agre-e'(r·~o make this a d],lal' tender call for the normal type of
traffic lights and for.overh~ad directional lights as well.)
AId. Fredericks asked if any thought has been given to
,providing an.alternate eastern arterial route from the City in
order to alleviate the pr,essure of heavy through traffic on #7 Highway. The Planning Director referred to the difficulty in
constructing ,an alternatE! highway in this area because of the , ,
ridge in back of Red Bridge Pond. He noted that the entire
. subject of arterial highways is' presently under study by the
Regional Planning Commission; from this study would come
recommendations for any feasible alternative. The feasibility
'of widening the existing highway wOuld also be indicated in the
Commission's report. AId. Stockall and Davis agreed with AId.
Granfield's opinion that the solutions proposed for the Main
Street traffic problem should be effected as quickly as possible
because of the seriousness of the Situation, 'but AId. Sanford
felt the project does not have this kind of priority ,in relation
to other City,needs. He referred specifica~ly ~o the Albro
Lake-Windmill Roa~ traffic problem and to the study of this
probleIil:which, he said, should have been complete~ and
before the Main Street study. The Planning Director advised
. that the traffic count,s for this intersec1lion q~ve been completed
and the ~eport will come before Council in the near future. '
'.- AId. Stubbs ,expressed concern' about the safety of people
walking along the section of Main Street under discussion, ' ~--~ -~'--
-iy-tlie-r,irge"ilUmber of-stude~;'-ts travelling to' and'
from their schools. The Planning Director commented that all
of the buildings al~ng' this highway sectick have been set back

30' to permit future widening of the street-i£-required. AId.
Stubbs was also, concerned about what she called the continuing
haphazard development of ~he #7 Highway area, which she cited
as an example of zoning,without control. She suggested that
if it is allowed to continue without more adequate planning
and control, an urban renewal study of, the area will 'eventually
be needed. The Plannin!i. Director pointed out that some of the , / '
developmerit patterns ~er:ealready ,established by the County
prior to amalgamation with the City. " . Council agreed with AId. Stockall IS suggestion that the
. ,
Planning Director's study should be carried further to include
the ,section of Main Street beyond Helene Ave. involving the
Woodlawn, Caledonia Road, and Main Street intersection,and
entrances to St. Thomas Moore Church and the new Vocational
School. Extension of t~e study to include this highway section
was considered particularly timely in view of the'Vocati~nal
School opening next year and 'the holding of Summer Games 9vents
at Beazley Field.' The motion was put and carried (AId. Sanford
v?ting against).
PERMIT TO BUILD': At the Sept. 3rd meeting, Council reconsidered a 'motion CAln\1ASH •
• .. -~.
passed on August, 5th,approving,an application submitted by Tom
Pollock Services Ltd. for permit to build a combination car,
wash and ~ervice station at the corner of Main and Major Streets.
Further consideration was deferred pending receipt of the
Planning Director's report on the Main Street traffic study.
In a further report to Council on the application, 'the Planning
Director advised that it has been reviewed in the light of its
probable impact oh 'the traffic situation in the Iliain, Major
Street, Gordon Ave. intersection. It was pointed out that the
traffic lights proposed for this intersect~on are required wit~
or without the car wash. The proposal to construct and ope~ate ... the car wash will not affect the timing sequence of the traffic
lights. ,It was recommended that the permit be granted in

accordance with a revised plan for the development which would
..
. '
take the flow of traffic' through the car wash from 'south to
north, instead of the reverse procedure originally proposed.
l~. Pollock has indicated concurrence with this recommendation
and has also agreed to eliminate access_to Main Street; this
would leave access from Major Street. It was moved by AId.
H~J!!RS...Qn and Stockall .. that the app~ication for permit to build
. be granted as recommended. Speaking in opposition to the
motion, AId. Stubbs suggested that there is a need-for a more
specific criteria upon which to base the establishment of
businesses such as car washes in,the City~ It was moved by
AId. Stubbs and Weldon that the application be deferred for a
J six-mont'h period. The motion to defer resulted in a tie vote
and was defeated with the Mayor voting against.
AId. Weldon agreed, with AId. Stubbs that the wishes of the
residents involved, many of whom have petitioned against the car
wash, must be taken into consideration in this issue. He said
that although he would vote against the motion-, he believed
that-prospective businessmen should be encouraged to help
develop', the City. He inquired about the structural steel which
has been placed on the site proposed for the car wash, and was
assured by Mr. Buchannen, the Solicitor representing the d
that no construction has been started on the site nor is any
anticipated until the application has received Council's
approval. AId. Fredericks and Stubbs both felt that the
site is entirely unsatisfactory for this type of business, and
AId. Sanford suggested consideration of an alternate site -
the property on Tacoma Drive being va(jated by the Hubley Cement .,
Plant. AId. Hampson noted that traffic is the essence of
business; 'therefore a car wash must be located where a large
volume of traffic is insured •

from Hr. IJIisenerand Mr. Cook. He' advised that the car wash I
will not necessarily have the effect of widening I>fajor $treet
(now 36' wide), but the sharp acute angle· on the turn could be
reduc'edsomewhat. The Mayor suggested that it would probably
be wise to take a look in the near future at the' Major Street
Lakecrest Drive intersection which also presents some problems
to drivers. The motion, resulting' in a tie vote, passed, with \
the Mayor voting in favour (AId. Stubbs, Sanford, Weld on ,
Frede~icks, McDonah, Marvin, and Smith voting against). The
Mayor 'stated the reasons upon which, he had based his decision
• to support the motion.
GRANT: ATLANTIC At the· Feqruary 22nd meeting, Council, meeting as a CHILD GQ IDANCE CENTRE Committee-of-the-Whole to discuss the 1968 Budget Estimates,

approved a motion that a,Resolutiori be prepared for present
ation at a future Council meeting, dealing with the City's
share in the operation of the Atlantic Child Guidance Centre.
The following Resolution was submitted by the Clerk-Administrator
for Council's consideration:
BElT rlESOLVED that the City of Dartmouth advise the Atlantic Child·Guidance Centre ,that the amount of $11,756. is the ultimate amount which the City of Dartmouth is prepared to .contribute as its share of the cost of operating the Atlantic Child Guidance Centre.
It"was . moved by AId. Stubbs and Brownlow and carried that
the Resolution be adopted by ,Council.
Recently, memb~rs of Council have indicated that there is
a need for the establishment of' a trailer and camping park . I
within the City limits, and letters have been received from
interested private in~ividuals, enquiring if City land,
reserved f'or future use as playgrounds or parks, could be
leased f'or the development and operation of trailer parks and ------ - - -- -

Director, and it was recommended by the Cle'rk-Administrator
. that there appea~s to be sufficient interest in private develop
ment for the City to consider calling for proposals for the
d~velopmentof this land; thereby eliminating the necessity
for the City to invest Capital fundI?, but at the same time, , .
providing a facility whichi~ urgently required, particularly
during the hosting of the Summer Games. It was moved by AId.
Sanford and McDonah and carried that this matter be referred
to the Finance & Executive Committee and to the Plan~ing Board
for consideration and report to Council.
~ENDE~: BEAZLEY As requested by Council at the Sept. 26th meeting, the FIELD HOUSE
•
Clerk-Administrator has met, with repres~ntatives of S.
Jachimowicz Ltd., the Architecc, and the Engineer, re construct
ion of ,.the Beazley Memorial Field House. In his report to
Council, it was pointed out ,that the difference between the
low bidder, S.Jachimowicz Ltd., 'and the second lowest bidder,
W. Eric'Whebby Ltd., is $74038. The comple~ion date for the
entire project~ given by the low bidder, 'is Feb., 28/69, whereas
the completion date given by W. Eric Whebby Ltd. is four months
aft~r awarding of the contract, or January 31/69. The import-. ance of completing this project as soon as possible was stressed
and the known capabilities of W. Eric Whebby Ltd. noted. In
view of these considerations,. it was the'refore recommended that
the contract for construction of the Beazley Memorial Field
House be . awarded to W • Eric Whebby Ltd., in the amount of
$106,500. ,
It was moved by AId. Hampson and Barber that the

SUBDIVISION PLAN: BRIDGE COMMISSION
The Town Planning Board has considered a plan of sub-~
division submitted by the Bridge Commission for the ,property
bounded by 'Lyle' Street, Wyse Road,' Faulkner Street, and Dickson
Street., The proposed subdivision involves closing a portion,
of Lyle Street to public'useand add~f,l.g the land area ,to lands
presently owned by the Briage Commission. Th~Planning Board
,has not,approved this~an Since City land is involved and there
is some variation ,in the proposal originally app:oved by
Council. The Board has requested direction from Council before
approving the subdivision plan; as requested py the Bridge
Commission. Ald. Stubbs asked for clarification of the plan;
the Planning Dire,ctor explained that the proposal calls for
the creation of two lots, one of which would be owned by the
Bridge Commi$sion and retained for a future p;,oposal call (Lots

AId. Hampson. questioned the proposed purchase price of
$4.ijoper sq. ft. for property in this area of: the City, 'and
it was felt by several members of Council that additional.
inforniation; including an appraisal. of 'the property involved,
is required before Council can reach a decision. It was moved
by AId. Fredericks and Stubbs that the matter be deferred until
the next meeting of Council, pending the receipt of additional
information on the proposal. Mr. Misener, the Solicitor
representing the Bridge Commission, was asked 'to comment on the
effect of deferral and advised that it will have a definite . ,
, effect on the prqposal. The motion to defer carried (AId.
Davis and $mith voting against).

condi tioIis on Ferguson Road. It ha s been pointed' out ~ by the
Consultants that this work will ultimately be requfred in any
event to facilitate sewerage treatment in this area of the City.
The installation of a new outfall and sewer on Ferguson Road,
at a total estimated cost of $120,000., has been recommended.
The Works Committee recommended to Council adoption of the
Consultants I re'commendations as contained in ~heir report.
It-was moved by Al9-. San ford and Wambolt that the Committee,ls
recommendation be adopted by Council. AId. Wambolt suggested
for COU~CilIS consideration c~rtaintemporary measure~ wpich'
he felt ,could be effected to alleviate flooding conditions for
an interim period until final approval'has been,received from , ,
other government levels for the' proposed North End Urban Renewal
Scheme. It is assumed that the cost of the major sewer install-, .
at ion proposed by Canadian-British could then be shared under
the terms of Urban Renewal. . It was moved in amendment by AId.
Wambolt and Davis' that the expe~diture of $120,000; be approved
, at this time and that Council agree to proceed with the Ferguson
'Road sewer installation by 'October 1st, 1969, whether cost
sharing under urban renewal is to be received orn'ot •. AId • . Sanford was opposed to any delay in starting the project, and
stressed the need for new sewerage facilities to accommodate the
N<;>rth End Industrial Park, and the, increased deve~opment expected
with the opening of the Narrows Bridge • . After considerable discuSSion, both for and against the
amendment, Mr. Axel, representing Canadian-British, addressed
Council in connection with his Companyls report. He explained
that the problem associated with the Ferguson Road system,' is
created by the infiltration of storm water i~to a system which
is designed as a sanitary 'sewer. He suggested that the most' ----.-•.. -.- -';-' 1. _ .. --
econ~mical solution at this stage' would be theinstailation of , .
a new outfa],l and sewer as recommended, and he indicated that
the cost of the t~mporaty measures proposed would pr9bably

Brown1ow, Mr. Axel advised that approval in principle has been
received for the recommendation (including,the new outfall)
from the Water Authority, ·subject to formal· approval being given
. on oontract documents. Following Mr • Axel-' s comments, the " .
amendment was withdrawn and the motion carried (Ald. Smith --- ,
voting against).
In.a report to Council, accqmpanying the proposed By-law . .
C-14l, the Clerk-Administrator advised Council of a street-
numbering probl~m which has existed on a portion of Pleasant
St,reet (between Albert St. and Old Ferry R<;>ad) for many years. . .
. In an attempt to correct' the presentsitu~tipn, two by-laws
have been prepared, eithe.r of which would correct the present
duplicat~on of the use of No. 60. In both cases, five propertic::'
would be involved in the change. For discussion purposes', the
two by-laws wer'e referred to as A. and B. A number of residents
from the area-were present and indicated their preference for
the street n~b~ring proposed in By-law A.
It was moved by Ald. Granfield and Stockall and carried
that leaye be given to introduce By-law C-14l and that it now
be read a .first time'.
It was moved by Ald. Smith and Davis and carri~'d that
By-law C-14l be read a second time.
Unanimous conse~t was riot 'given by Council for third
reading of the By-law.

AId. Weldon asked if action has been taken to clean up the'
Johnson property in Por~ Wallace. The Clerk-Administrator sa~d
that if no action has been taken, another survey will be req~este:
In replying-to-A-:ld. Weld,Q!1 ~s nex~ question, the Mayor
advised that there is no traditional· way in which the structure
of Co~ittees, (of Council) is determined. Re-organization of
the Committees is' usually required.each year following the civic ~
election; this year, however, no election has been held.
AId. Weldon asked ~f the present low water level of Lake
Major can be attributed to the unsatisfactory condition of the
dam. The Clerk-Administrator said itcanj he informed AId.
Weldon that permission has been obtained to carry.out·some
repairs to the dam, ancj. its purchase is being negotiated with
the property owner.
AId. Marvin inquired about the present status of t~e

arranged for Friday, October 18th.
AId. Stubbs asked if the City would make a submission to
the Hellyer Task Force 'on housing. The Mayor said it is hoped
that a brief wi~~ be read~ for the November.meeting of Council
and with Council's approval, it can then be submitted in time
for the November 15th deadline.
AId. S.tubbs asked if this would not be an opportune time
to proceed with whatever project is reauired to maintain the
level of Lake Charles. The Clerk-Administrator noted that the
City Eng:!,..neer has done an on-the-spot survey and will. be
preparing- a report on the-work required.

MOTION:~LD.WAMBOLT At the September 5th Council meeting, AId. Wambolt gave. DARTMOUTH TAX ' ' ---SCHEME notice of.motion concerning a feasibility. study and report on
•
•
-.'.
the matter of -the .City commencing and operating. a 'Canadian
Strike it Rich Fund ,', It was nioved, by AId. Wambolt and Davis , ,L '
that Council approve in ,principle the matter of commencing a
sweepstake and authorize the Mayor to appoint a committee of
three to bring in a formula and documentation for the
establishment of a Dartl]louth sweepstake" at the ea:r:1iest, conven-,
ience.
Ih his presentation, supporting the motion, AId. Wambolt
stressed the need for the City to find other sources of income
to supplement the presen~ tax structure, and referred to variot" .
statistics indicating the' £inancial success of lotteries now
being operated .in Montreal and in the State of New Hampshire.
The legality of such a proposal and of Council'spflrticipation
in its inception, was debated at considerabl~ length with the , ,
City Solicitor, and it was generally felt that, Council cannot
approve in principle a revenue-producing scheme which must 'be
considered illegal. AId. Hampson agreed with the Mayor's
opinion, however, that the time and effort put into the study
proposed in the motion could be entirely wasted if Council does
not at least approve the proposal in principle.' He suggested
that an arrangement stmiiar to the Montre~l voluntary tax
certificate scheme is not illegal until such time as 'it is
proven illegal. Commenting on AId.' Fredericks' question about
the cost of operating such a scheme, AId. Barber noted that the
. _ " __ ,Montreal lottery,_ which requir~sa staff of 40 peqple, has-a
projected cost of 8% of the revenue derived.

opinion that th~re is wide support throughout Canada for changes .: '.. • • • of
'in the ,Criminal Code which' no~ makes lotteries' arid sweepstakel3
,illegal, although citizens continue to participate in contests
of all kinds and ill" sweepstakes' originating with other countries,
Ald. Granfield objected to the use of the word 'sweepstakes' "
"in the motion and after further discussion, it was agreed that
the wordS, 'tax scheme' wouid. ~e more satisfactory. The motion
was changed accordingly and the :reference to approval in
principle by Council was' also, deleted. TI'?-e ,revised motion read:
,!that the Mayor be authorized to appoint·a 'committee of three to
bring in a formula and documentation for the establishment of
"a Dartmouth tax scheme,at bhe earliest convenience'. The motion
qarried and AId. Wambolt, Davis ,and Barber were appointed Oy "
the Mayor to serve on the committee.
It was moved by Ald~ Sanford and Stubbs that the following

It was moved by Ald. 'Stockall and Fredericks that civic -
employees be allowed to run for'public office in other
muniCipalities so long as this does not interfere with their
work. AId. Weldon said he was in favour of ,the basic principle
of the motion, but would like to see some groundwork laid for
the specific guidance of employees. AId. Hampson, Fredericks,
and Smith spoke in support of the motion~but AId. Smith felt
the City should not intervene in any way unless it is indicated
after election that the position in public ,office is interfering
with the eniployee's work. Ald. Sanford questioned Council's
reason for debating this issue since the employee to whom Ald.
Stubbs has referred is under the jurisdiction of the School
Board. It was moved" by AId. Sanford and Weldon that the matter
be referred to the Finance & ExecutiveCommi~tee to bring back
a report on the right of,civic employees to offer for election
in other municipalities., AId. Granfield suggested that Council
should not be debating the issue at this time and moved that
'further discu~sion be deferred until the first of January.

The motion to refer was also defeated~
It was moved in amendment by AId. Weldon alld Stockall that
the approval (of the right to run for public office) be only
in prinCiple, and that the matter be referred to the Finance

action of an individual employee running :t::or public office, is
unfortunate. In 'an attempt to terminate discussion at this
pOint, Ald. Granfield.and McDonah moyed adjournment of the

was, reviewed section by sect,ion,. Discussion centered mainly
around'Section 4 .. which establishes the composition of the
Cqmmi~sion., AId. ,Stockall felt that :the Commission' proposed, , '

, He favoured an independent commission~ divorced from political ~---I " ,,'

,Sanford felt that control of the coinmission should remain with

By-law b~ amended by ~educing the size of the commission to
six members, fou~ of whom would be citizens at large, and two I
of w~om would be members of Council (one of these to be the
Mayor).
AId. Hampson pointed out that a commissionestabl:.is,Il~~
under the Area Industrial Commiss~9ne ~ct ,would have been the , ,
type proposed by AId. Stockall and AId. Davis. He said it h80
been' his understanding and the understanding of the, Industries ',' . . ,
Committee, that Council.wished' to re:tain control of th,e
commission, BI;ld it was with this in mind that the composition " .
proposed in the by-'law has been determined. AId, Stubbs said
that while-'she has not supported the idea of forming,a
commission,'she would now support the br.-law and 'the make~up
f' I of. the commission proposed in it. " .
AId. Stockall. suggested that Council would retain budgetar~'
,control. c;>ver the commiSSion, but AId. Weldon fe+t this might
not be sufficient, and favQ~red incl1:1sioll of a re-~all clause "

TENDER: BEAZLEY FIELD TRACK
At the, Mayor's suggestion, Council agreed to add to the
I '
•
agenda an,item dealing with the contract for the Beazley
, Memorial Fie'ld track.
'As requested by Council, 'an extensive review has been made
of the tender submitted by Fraba Construction Co. Ltd. for
constr.uction of the track at Beazley Memorial Field. This
'company submitted the low bid of $82,424; the estimate projected
for construction of the track, however", was $78,000. In his
,.report to CounCil, the Clerk-Administrator rev~ewed the
company's capabilities.for carrying out. the terms and conditions
of a contract such ,as thiS, and outlined a proposal for
reducing the total price of the contract to $70,949. by
obtaining a better pr{ce for hot mi~ asphaltic pavement and by
seeding the infield rather than sodding·it, for an estimated
saving of $11,475. It was noted that Mr. Bast of FrabaCon:
structi9n Co. Ltd., has indicated that if his contract is
reduced much below the' $70,000. figure; he would no longer be
interested in accepting the contract. " . In connection with, the difference of $28, 8i8. 58 between
the total. cos~ of $107,523.58 required to build the track as,
requested by the Canada Games, and the allocation from the
Canada Games capital budget of $78,705. for the ~rackJ it was
~uggested that one of the following methods be adopted to
'meet the'price o~ reduce it further to meet the budget:
(a) Council may decide to lfegotiate with", ~he Canada Games to reduce the-track to six lanes, thereby reducing the cost by approx. one third; or
(b) Council could request the Summer Games to provide additional funds from the Capital Budget. It appears that there may' be s9me uncommitted funds available (ap~:rQx. $10,000. for tennis.courts in Dartmouth)·, .. and Council wou1.d then be required to provide the remainder from Budget (the Special Reserve Fund .

In a report which accompanied the subdivision plan, the , -
Clerk-Administrator reviewed" the action taken by Council to
date in this connection, and advised that in the opinion of the , .
City Assessor,', the value of $4.50 p~r sq. ft; for land own~d by
the City, is a reasonable price for la~d in that general-area.
AId. Weldon asked to be excused from the meeting during the
debate and vote on this particular item. A number of questions
raised 'by the members of 'Council were answered by the Mayor 'and
tqe Clerk-AdminiE!trator. AId. Fredericks and Stubbs suggested
that it might be advisable for the City to assemble this land,
and call for proposals. TJ:tey felt that details of the Bridge
Commission's proposal for,the land should have. been made avail
able, and AId. Stubbs questioned the Commission's right to
carry on negotiations for the development of land, not directly •
related to the bridge operation. I~. Misener, the Solicitor
representing the Bridge Commission, was asked to comment and
advised, that the CommiSSion is able to take such action. AId.
Stubbs also expressed concern about the provision to be ,made
for pedestrian traffic, particularly for reside~ts living on
Lyle and Faulkner Streets. It was moved by Aid. Brownlow and
Stockall that the propos,ed plan of subdivision be approved by
Council. It was moved by AId. Stuhbs and Fredericks that the
matter be referred to the Finance &. Executive Committee with a , ,
request for additional information on the Commission's proposal.

REGIONAL TRANSIT' STUDY

AIR POLLUTION
'.'
of the Halifax-Dartmouth & County Regional Plannin~Commission,
outlining details of a proposed,Regional Transit Study in which
,the City of Dartmouth has been asked to participate at a cost
of $6,250. "The other levels of'government and the City of
Halifax have been asked to participate financiaIly as we,ll in
the tot111 cost of the study, which is not to exceed $75,000~
It was moved by AId. Stockall and Brownlow that Council inc,lic§j;e
a willingness to participate in the transit stu~y as requested~
to the amount of $6250. Several members of Council thought that
the subjec.t of regional transit needs was to have be,en included
in the over-all transportatiop study now being conducted, and
it was generally felt that a co-ordination o~ the two aspects
is necessary for a complete analysis of the entire transportation
problem. AId. Stubbs, however, suggested that Dartmout~ has not
yet reached the point where a transit study is required. AId.
Brownlow expressed .the opinion that a, transit system, to be
effective, should be cQ~ordinated throughout the whole
Metropolitan area and not just on one side or" the harbour.

authority being re'l\.n,qtiished by the' City in delegating control
to the Regional Authority, and questioned the affept which this
action could have on prospective industries planning to lO,cate
in Dartmouth. The Solicitor was asked to comment arid referred
to Section 7 (2) of the Regional Authority Act, under which the'
by-law could be revoked by the participating bodies (ie. Halifax
and Dartmouth). 'Council generally felt that air ·pollution is a
Provincial matter,' but agreed with Ald. Weld on r s opinion that,
short of a general Provincial or Maritime, plan, regional:, ,control
is at least more satisfactory than an attempt to enact' legislation
as individual municipalities. Ald.,Davissuggested that ~he
function of the,Regional Authority is to investigate and report
rather than to set itself up as a contro11 ing_ 'authority with '
power to pass and enforce by-laws. It was moved by Ald. Stockall
and Brownlo:w and carried that,further action ,be deferred pending
receipt of an estimate of cost for any study involved, and a copy

Civic Centre proposal submitted by Atlantic Realty Ltd .• has now
been reviewed'and the Planning Director presented a report and
slightly revised plan for consideration. The revised plan is
intended to rectify certain design problems relating to the
proposed pede~triaq·tunnels which ha~e proven to be uneconomical
as originally conceived, within the budget limit of $198,000.
Under the alternate proposal presented by IIfr. Lloyd, it was
recommended that:
(1) the shelter area for the bus stop be moved further north and a pedestrian bridge be constructed from the existing City Hall Plaza to the roof of this shelter;
(2) ari overhead pedestrian link be provided from the roof of this shelter to the terminal building. This -would require eight to ten steps in order to maintain. the necessary clearance over the railway track;
(3) a set of steps be provided from the roof of the . shelter to the ground;
(4)·an at-grade pedestrian crossing be provided over thEi . tracks at ground level with protective gates.
The remainder of Mr. L~oydls.report dealt with the proposed
fee for the leasing of the land involved (based on an estimated
l~ndvalue of $4.0Q per sq. ft.) and with the rental proposed
by Atlantic Realty Ltd. fo:r the space to be rented by the City
in the development. With regard to the land rental, the estimated
value has been reviewed wi~h the City Assessor and he ~s of the'
opinion that it is not unreasonable. The rental proposed for
space to be leased by the City is also considered reasonable,
and it was noted that Atlantic Realty Ltd. would be prepared
to lease the space for $4.00 per sq. ft. unfinished, with the
work bei.ng completed by the City, or they will finish the space ,
for a rental fee of $6.00 per sq. ft.
In concl:usion;it was 'recommended that the City indicate
to Atlantic Realty Ltd. a J111ingness to proceed't·o the next
stage Q:fnegQ.tiation ,for---a~ satisfactory-lease, based on the=
plans 'reviewed in the Planning Director's report, and that' the
·matter of the completion of court space be left optional at the , i

discretion of, the City. This would' permit construction of the
terminal building as soon as possible, with final negotiations
on the court space to be concluded prior to the start of the
office building construction, scheduled for commencement in the
spring of next year. ,
Mr. Lloyd answe~ed several auestions from the ,members of
Council" particularly with regard to the adequacy of the court
facilities which are to be provided. Mr.' Douglas was asked- by
AId. Stockall to comment on the \ possibility of providing court . ! .
facilities in a separate building, and suggested that although
this might be done, it would prove costly to the City. The
Architect, IVIr. Hoy, stated a number of reasons why it would be
more desirable 'to retain the court facilities in the office'tower
as ,originally proposed. In answer to ~questioq later raised
by AId. Davis, Mr. Dot'slas said he "could not state definitely
at this time whether or not his company would be prepared to '
proceed with the development if the rental of courtroom space
were to, be deleted by the City.' He did state that his company
would prefer to have court facilities included in the' office
tower" It was moved by AId. Barber and BrC?wnlow that the'
Planning Director's report and,recommendations be adopted.
AId. Smith said that while he did not wish to impede the
'plans 'fQr a Civic Centre development, he remained opposed to
location of the court facilities in what will be a heavily
congested area of the City. AId. Davis and Brownlow asked if
the, Magistrate has, been consulted about court reqUirements, a~d
IVIr. Lloyd advised that the list of specifications prepared by
the Magistrate were included i~the call for proposals and have
been, fully met by Atlantic Realty Ltd. He also answered'a
number of questions from AId. Fredericks about the revised plan
for the pedestrian-flow of traffic- throughout-the Centre.
After' further discussion, the motion was put and carried
unanin:lOusly. ,

'alSo by a l~tter from three resid'ents opposed to t-he change,
suggesting that consideration be given to the proper rearrange~
ment of all the house numbers in this immediate area of the
City (ie. the 'entire length of Pleasant St.).
It was moved by AId. Stockal,l and Barber that By-law C-14l
be read a third time, and that the Mayor and the Clerk-
Administrator be authorized to sign and.seal the said by-law
on behalf of 'the City.
On motion of AId. Weldon and Smith, Council agreed to hear
Mrs. Hazel Martin. and Mr. Logan, both of whom are residents
involved in this situation. Mrs. 1l1:artin repeated the request
contained in her letter for a complete renumbering of Pleasant
Street, and AId. Smith agreed that it' would be advisable to
consider this suggestion. It was moved by Al.d. Smith and

~ITED APPEAL ~QUEST
At the Sept. 3rd.meeting, Counc~l considered a report
prepared by the Supt. of Schools on the utiliza~ion of school"
plant and, following discussion, adopted a resolution that a
joint committee be set up to study the feasibility of creating ,
a Metropolitan Sohool Board. This matter was referred t'o' the
School Board for consideration.
In a report to Council, the Acting Secretary advised that
the School Board considers this an inopportune time to_ propose
such a committee to the City of Halifax, particularly in view of
the probiems associated with annexation now facing the Halifax
School Board. The Board has therefore deferred the matter for
a period of one year, until after the Halifax annexation of
County areas has be.en effected. It was moved by Ald. Stockall
and Fredericks and carried that the report on the Board's'
action be received and filed.
As requested by Council, the Finance & Executive Committee
has considered the.Clerk-Administrator's report recommending a
call for proposals for the 'development of City-owned land to
provide camping and trailer park facilities. ,The '-Committee has
recommended.that sta~f be authorized to prepar~ the necessary

Dartmouth ferry dock on the Halifax side of ·the Harbour •. The
City of' Halifax 'intends to reclaim a 240' section of the water-'
front adjacent to the dock, in providing a site for the new

that·permission be granted subject· to a satisfactory termination
of the existing agreeme~t. between the City and Imperial Oil
Ltd., which leases this land on a year-to,:"year 1;>asis, the
Committee recommended approval of the request. It was -moved by .
AId. Maryin and Stockall and carried that the recommendation b~
adopted by Council.
In a.letter from the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture and
. Market~ng; the District Weed Inspector has pointed out that a
Municipal· Weed Inspector has not been appointed for the City
of Dartmouth, and has suggested that Council might consider
approving authority to .have the Inspector f?r the County of
Halifax act as Weed Inspector for, Dartmouth., In his report
on this subject, the' Clerk-Administrator noted that the
possibility of employing a Weed'. Inspector on a joint basis to
serve the three metropolitan municipalities is still under
c?nsideration by the Regional Authority. It was proposed that
the City could negotiate with the County of Halifax to have the
services of the County Weed Inspector made available to us on
a fee basis, as suggested by the pistric't Weed ·Inspector. It
was moved by AId. Stubbs and Barber and carried that negotiations
be entered into with the County for this purpose.

included in the' design for the Bel 'Ayr Subdivision water system.
Blomdale Crescent is located in Bel Ayr Park,' at the highest
elevation in the City, 'and the water. tank would have been
elevated 80' above existing ground level. Vice Admiral O'Brien
has expressed concern at the location of such an obstruction
and potential hazard to aircraft within a five-mile radius.of
Shearwater aerodrome. For this reason, Canadian-British
,Engineering Consultants were asked to. make a study' of an
alternative to the elevated water tower, and to submit alternate
costs. By eliminating the water tank, estimated-to cost
$100,000., a pumping system can be provided at an estimated
"cost of $125,000. The City would therefore be required to make
an additional $25,000. Capital Expenditure, and operating costs
of a pumping system will exceed those of an elevated water tank.
In view of the serious possibility that this elevated water
tbwer would be a h?zard to aircraft using CFB .Shearwater, it
was recommended that Co~cil authorize a change in the design
to a pumping system. It was moved by AId. Stockall and Weldon
and carried that the change be authorized as recommended.

The proposed agreement was pre.sented for Council's approval and
authorization for the Mayor and 'Clerk-Administrator to sign on
behalf of the City. It' was moved by AId. Stockall and Smith
'that approval 'and authorization be granted by Council.
AId. Stockall expressed concern about the delay in, 'starting
this development and su,ggested that the City should now request
some form of firm committment, preferably a performance bond,
from the Company as an indication of their intention to proceed
with the project as planned. It was pointed out by the Mayor
and the Clerk-Administrator that the C'ity does not have the
right to demand a performance bond and can, in fact, exercise
control only by rezoning the land back to an R-l'Zone. Ald.
Hampson questioned the affect which delayed development may be
having in deterring other plans of a similar nature. 'It was I
moved in amendment by AId. Stockall and Weldon that the Clerk
Administrator write to the developer and ask him if he would
supply'to the City a performance bond in the 8ll1ount of $50,000.
The Solicitor answered several questions about sections
5 and 6 of the agreement~nd explained the intent of these
sections to further clarify the City's p~sitiQn~ AId. Fredericks
suggested that if substantial progress, has not been indicated by
December 1st, 1969, Council should seriously consi~errez6ning
the property back to an R-l Zone. The Solicitor pointed out that
zoning in'a City should be based on what is considered proper'
for specific areas. He suggested that. certain legal questions
would arise if this type of amendment were to be incorporated
in the agree!TIent. The amendment carried; the motion, as amended,

MOTION: ALD. , At the Colincil meEilting .of October'16th, AId •. Stockall gave STOCKALL TAX EXEMPTION notiqe of motio:q concEilrning-'the re-introduction of legislation
covering tax exemptions for property owners over the age of
sixty-five. . , , It was moved by AId. St?.~~~!~.~nd. S~ni'ord that legislation
prepared by the So}icitor and recommended to the Province for
approval in 1967, dealing with tax exemption for property owners
ov.er 65 years of age, be re-submitteci totl'ie Province at this'
year's sitting of the Legislature.
Alternate forms of aSSistance, intended to provide tax
relief for this segment, of 'the City's population, were proposed
by several members .of Council. AId., Davis put forward a pro
posal involving the postponement of taxes. until after' the-- ...
ultimate :disposal of ,a property (ie. to the heirs, property
sale, etc.). It was moved in' amendment by AId. Davis and
Smith that the present legislation be amended ,by incorporating
the proposal for postponement of taxes until after disposal of
the 'property. AId •. Fre~ericks referred to a similar. type of
legislation enacted in the Province of 6ntario, a. copy' of
which is to be· requested by the Clerk~Administrator.
Speaking against t'he amendment, AId. Stoc.kall said he
did not wish to see the legislation clouded in a way which
might result in a second rejection by the Province. AId.
Brownlow agreed with this opinion. Ald'.Stubbs favoured the
comprehensive type of assistance which people of this age
group could e'xpect to' receive 'und,er the. Canada Assistance Act,
.while AId. Hampsort suggested a tax freeze which could be
applied to a property until its disposal. AId. Hampson moved

that the entire matter be referred to a sub-committee, comprised
of AId. Stockall, Davis, the City Solicitor, and the Welfare
Director, for consideration. The Mayor ruled the motion out
of order.
The amendment was not generally supported, particularly
bec.ause of the ,concept that a postponement of'taxes would'
represent a lien held ,by the City against the property; but
several, members of Council favo,ured a combination_of the
proP9sed legislation and social assistance. It was mov~d by
Ald. Sanford and Stubbs that in view of the various suggestions , . " lIP'
and opinions placedb~fore Council, the matter be refe~red to
the L;gislation Committee for a total recommendation to be
,,' presented to Council in time for the legislation to be for
warded to the Legislature. The motion to, refer was defeated.
The amendment was put and defeated (AId. Stubbs, Davis" and
Smith, voting in favour). The motion carried (AId. 'Stubbs
voting against).
MarION: ALD.' At the Council meeting of October 16th, AId. Fredericks FREDERICKS iVlEH.IT AWARD gave notice of motion pertaining to a City of Dartmouth merit
, '
award., , It was mov'ed by AId. Fredericksand McDonah that in
keeping with the policy of a closer liai,son -with the public,
City ,Council establish a merit award in recognitio~ of service,
tp be known as the, City of Dartmouth award for volunteer service,
and that a certificate of merit be presented to a citizen each
year on the' day of the City's open ,house, (January 1st).
Criteria for the award,would be service to the City in a
volunteer capacity, and a committee, comprised of ,the, Mayor
and two Aldermen, would.determine the award winner from the
names of citizens submitted up to a deadline date 'near the
Christmas week •. It was moved in amendment, by AId. Davis and
Stockall ,and carried. that a committee of three be appeinted by ,'- the Mayor'to establish terms of reference for the award,
details .of which will be presented for censideration at the

MOTION: ALD. At the October 16th Council meeting,Ald. Sanford gave SAN FORD DEMOLITION PEru~ffiWtice of motion to limit demolition permits to a maximum of
90 days. It was moved by Ald. Sanfordand Stockall that ~ '. '
demolition permits in the City of Dartmouth be valid for a
time limit of 90 days from the date on which the permit wa.s
issued. Ald. Weldon felt that provision should be included
in the legislation for time extensions under certain circum;.
stances. Ald. ,Sanford pOinted out that the legislation would
apply to buildings only. The motion carried (Ald. Weldon
voting against ),~
MOTION: ALD. At the October 16th Council meeting, Ald.McDonah gave BROWNLOW . COMMITTEE STRUCTURE notice of motion on behalf of AId. Brownlow, calling for
a study of the present Committe'e structure of Counc~l.
It was moved by Ald. Brownlow and Hampson that staff be
requested to bring in,a recommendation regarding the feasibility
of conducting City Council business with a reduced number of'
standing committees. Ald. Brownlow suggested that a total
review of the,present committee structure would be in order and
could result in changes which would streamline the work of
both Council and City staff. He stressed, that, such changes
would be implemented 'gradually, with adequate time being'
provided to iron out any-difficulties which might arise with
a new system. The idea of such an over-all review,was
supported by most of the Aldermen, with the exception of Ald.
Granfield, but it was felt that at least a number of elected
represen~atives should' participate in the study and work with
Ci~ystaff ,in 'preparing a, recommendation., It-was moved in
amendment by Ald. Stockall and-Davis and carr~ed that the
new Legislat~~~_.~~ITlll1_itte~_Vlorlt with st;t:l.ff to bI'~l'lg ];>~gk.~

"_ TEMPORARY BORROWING: It was moved by Ald. Weld on" and Stockall that temporary 'HALIFAX II'
'.
borrowing in the amount of $50,000. for the ferry, 'Halifax 11'
be approved by Council. In answer to a question from Ald.
Weldonabout the provision of alternate ferry accommodation
when one of the two boats is out of service, the Mayor advised
that investigation by the Supt. "of the ferry operation indicated
that with the present docks and with-the-regula~io~.EE:lquired
by ~he Dept. of Transport, it was impossible to arrange for
an alternate means of service. It is hoped, however, that
with fur~her study, a solution to the problem may be found
before the second ferry goes into drydock next summer. Ald.
Sanfordsuggested that consideration should be given to taking
the second ferry out of service during a period when the
requirement for transportation across the harbour is expected
to be at the lowest point for the summer. The motion carried.

at this time, with a recommendation from the Town Planning
Board that the By-law be enacted by Council.
It was moved by AId. Weldon and Stockall that By-law C-120
bj;l read a third time, and that the Mayor and the Clerk-. 4
Administrator' be authorized to· sign and seal the said by-l'aw
on behalf of the City.'
In di.scussing the By-law, the following amendments were
proposed by Council:
(1) Page 2, Section (2): deletion of the word 'dwellings' to be replaced by the word 'buildings' •
(2) Page 4, Section 2 (v): deletion of this sub-section.
(3) Page 4, Section 3: deletion of the words, 'every 15 persons", to be replaced with the words 'each single family unit'.

new owners of properties where these facilities have not previously been provided. where heat is being supplied in rented. buildings, it is to be supplied up to or not less than 72 degrees for all months of the year, except the dates between June 30th to. September 15th.
Several members of Council wished to see the by-law made
more applicable in particular to rented premises and absentee
landl~rd situations so that. it may be applied effectively in
~ealing with slum conditions sometimes created under tnese
ci~cumstances. It was felt, however, that if the requirements

expected to ,conform to new regulations. The Solicitor explained
the difficulties experienced in attempting, to draft a by-law
strong enough to deal, with the former situation, while not
affecting adversely the average single-family home owner.
Following the period of general dis9ussion and statement of the , ,
amendments proposed, it w~s moved by Ald .. 'Sanford Cj.nd StQckall
that ,the amendments suggested be referred to the Planning Board
and the Building Inspector for consideration, with ,the amended

February Council meeting.
For the information of those members of' Council' s:t?~dying ,
the rink situation, Ald. Stubbs tabled a number of plans ,for . , .

contest and it was moved by AId. Davis and Stubbs that Council
now consider generally a name for the Central District 'Collector.
AId. Weldon agreed with AId. Smith's opinion that Council has
a certain obligation to the Jr. Chamber in this instance, but
generally, the other members of Council were of the opinion
that the original '~otion, passed at, the, Octob-er 1st meeti~g,
'does nqt commit Council' toac?~pt one of the four names
presented. The motion carried.
At the' Mayor's su,ggestion, the fC?l~owing street names
were put fo~ard by the Aldermen:
AId. Granfield, - Alderney Drive Fredericks - Queen Elizabeth Drive McDonah - Centennial Drive Smith - Marine Blvd. Barber -'Harbour View Drive Stockall - Atlantic Blvd. Stubbs - Chebucto Drive
After three separate votes, the name '~lderney Drive' was
chosen over 'Marine Blvd.' by a vote of eight tOflve., and the
Mayor declared the street named accordingly.
The Planning Director pointed out that the City already . , ,
has a short street named Alderney Road on which two houses'ar~
located. The Mayor suggested that this problem of ,duplication
can be resolved at a later time,
The Jr. Chamber will be ,notified of Council's decision and
thanked for partiCipating in the oontest.
LAND RENTAL: The Finance & Executive Committee has considered a request STRUCTURAL WOOD CO, . . '.
, from the. Standard S,tructural Wood 00. Ltd. in Montreal, for
permiSSion to lease 20,000 sq. ft. of land on Windmill' Road
.from the City for the purpose of displaying and, selling pre-, ,
fabricated homes. The rental proposed ,is $800. per annum or ,
.04~ per sq ... ft., and the Company is, prepared to sign a five,,:,
. year or a three-year lease with an option for an 'additional
two years.
As requested by the Finance Commit'tee, the Cle rk-,
Administrator has discussed with the Assessor the amount of
, ~ .', , " ",
City Council, Nov. 20/68. Page 13 .'
rental proposed by the Company. In a report to Council, it
was, 'suggested that in view of the f'act that the lease to be
entered into should be of a three-year duration with option
f'or'a further two-year renewal, and should contain a clause
that the lease can be terminated on a three-month'notice,
the rental fee of $SOO. per year is reasonable. It was
recommended that the le~se be as stated - for a three-year ".
period with option of a further renewal f'ora two-year period, ,
, subjec~ tq termination on three months notice by the City~
It was felt that the termination clause should be included in ' , ,
view of the f'act that there may be a purchaser in the future
f'or the total acreage. It was moved by Ald. Hampson and Barber
,that '\:ihe property'rental be appJ;'oved as ·recommended •.
, Inclusion of the three-month canceil.ation clause was
questioned and Mr •. Kline, representing the Company, said he
had not been previously made aware of it •. It was moved by Ald.
Weldon and Sanford that the matter be referred to the Clerk';'
Administrator for clarif;i.cation. 1"h'. Kline stressed the
, urgency of finalizing negotiations if' the display homes are
to be situated on the property before winter.
It was moved in amendment by Ald. Smith'and McDonah that
the three-month clause b~ eliminated from the lease. Ald~
Hampson andSmi~h spoke in support of the motion, but AId.
Weldon contended the terms of' a lease should not be negotiated
on the floor of' t,he Counci'l Chamber. The Planning Director was
asked to comment on the Company's choice of ' site, and advised
that it does not conflict with any ~ediate proposals of the
City~ He said his,departmen~ had ,pointed out that the only
negative aspect was the possibility that the land involved
might be required at some f'uture date for a larger commercial'
or industrial development. 'In answer.to a Question from
. Ald •. Stubbs, he 'advis'ed -thatotner sites ,were considered. in
discussions 'between Mr.. Kline, and t.h.e Asst.Plannillg, Director,

, City Council, Nov. 20/68,. Page 14
(I but this particular site was considered desirable by the
Company because of its good ~xposure to the public. The
amendment was put and carried (Ald. Stubbs voting against).' . : !
The Solicitor suggested that Council might wish to consider !
a two-year lease with an option of renewal for two years,with
proViSion that; after two years, th~'lease can be terminated
"
by either party on th~ee-month~ notice. , This proposal proved
to be acceptable to both Council and Mr. Kline and, on motion
of Ald. Granfield and, Sanford, it was adopted.'
TENDER: MAIN ST. The follo~ing tenders have been received for the supply (~ .. TRAF,FICLIGHTS a'nd ,TIJI' installation of traffic lights at the intersection of
Main Street and Gordon Ave. :
LFE - Automatic Signal Ltd., Montreal Portland Electrics Ltd. Western ElectricsLtd.
$6553.91 -696$.00 7390.00
It wa~ recommended by the Purchasing Agent that since
LFE - Automatic ,Signal Ltd. is the low bidder and has complied
with the specifications, the tender be awarded to this Company.
It, was moved by Ald. Stubbs and Barber that the tender be
awarded to the low bidder ,as recommended. Ald. Davis said he
understood this was to have'been a dual tender call which would
'include quotations for ,overhead directional iights as well.
He suggested that the ,type of traffic lights being considered
will be ineffective at this particular location. The Planning
Director advised that the Province is not prepared to share
'in the additional cost (approx. $2400.) 'of the overhead lights.
Because of this fact and the extra cost involved, quotations
received for overhead ligh~s were not ,included in the report.
Ald. Sanford and Stubbs felt that all of this information
should h~ve been provided so that Council could make a decision
based on a complete report. It was moved in amendment by Ald.
Davis and Brownlow and 9arried that the quotation~ubmitted ----~------

reviewed the situation to date, and express.etLc.onc.ezn....about the
lack of control which the City will be able to exercise over
the type of development which may take place on Lot AA6 of the
subdi visi9n plan. She alSo questioned the degree of control
to be r,etained by the City over traffic exits onto Lyle Street
and suggested·the ne~d ,for the follo~ing guarantees, if c'ouncil
wishes to dispose of ,the, City-owned land involved:
Cl) A pathway:along the former portion of Lyle St. for pedestrians' •. '
(2)'Exit and egress along this route from the two proposed Lyle Street lots.
(3) A joint agreement' o'n proposals in the public tencie~' call for the use of Lot AA6, by the Commission and the City.
In summation, she repeated her statelllent that the holding
of the Bridge Commissi(m property involved does not 'represent
a financial burden to the Commission,an~ suggested that the"
area would be aesthetically more pleasing if ~t were properly ~ ,
., landscaped and retaiIied as a, park. ,It ,was mO~d by, Ald. Stubbs'
and Granfield that,the motion approving the plan of subdivision
b~ reconsidered by, CO~?_~.~. The motion carried by a vote of

that the matter be referred back to the Planh1ng Board for . ,
consideration of, the' guarantee,s recommended in the brief-"",'
presented by Ald. Stubbs.
In answer to several questions raised by mem1>er~, .. of Council
about the liaison between the City and the Bridge Commission'
throughout these negotiations and in connection with the call
for proposals to be made by the COknmis!,!ion, ~the Mayor assured
Council that the Commission is not prepared to proceed with any . . . . . 'development in which the City"~as n~t concurred. He pointed
out that a definite proposal has not been indicated,:tQ~g~te'

that consultants can accurately predi~t or e£~ectively produce

ation between the local transit companies arid theplarining . " , . sta~fs o£ the municipalities in developing a gradual plan £or
metro transit service, with the City's ~inancialcontribution
'toward the study being re-allocated £or this purpose (ie. to , ' .
. hire additional st~££ required, etc.). She re£erred to the , ,
importance o£ the general Transportation Study, carried out by
the Planning Commission, in providing details£or such a study
by· local people. It wasmovEid by AId. Stubbs a~d Gran£ield that
the motion, .appr9ving' participatiqn in the Transit Study, be
reconsidered by Council. The motion resUlted ina tie vote
and carried wi~h the Mayor voting in £avour.
The Mayor reviewed thj3 .status.o£ negotiatio~s £or cost ... ·
sharing in the cost o£ a Regional Transit Study and explained , .
the position taken on behal£ o£ the City o£ Dartmouth at the
Planning Commission meeting', when it was indicated ~hat, the
'City.would probably not agree to contribute the $25,000.
originally suggested 'as Dartmouth's contribution. Application
£or £inancial assistance has since been made to the Atlantic
Development 'Board and the Province .has been asked to partic~.p'~_~~, ..
on the same £inancial terms as the Regional Transportatiori
Study, (conditional to AD~ participation)." Ald. Weldon suggested
that Council would be wise to support the position taken by the
Mayor as the City's representative on the Planning Commission,
particularly in view o£ the measures taken tosatis£y Dartmouth's
condition £or participation in the study. He also referred to

that a more definite indication of traf'fic patterns and trends
is ,reQuired before such a study would be meaningf'ul. AId.
Granfield referred to the Urban Transportation Study now in
progress and suggested that Council might wish to await the
. ,outcome of this study which will be discussed at a conference' to
be held in February. The Planning Director was asked to c.omment
and pointed out that the proposed Regional Transit Study would
deal with the operation of a transit system rather than with a
detailed study of the impact of trqnsit on an urban area. He
said the matter of dealing with public transit is a very '"
specialized type of study requiring the assistance of specialists
and urged Council to support the request for Dartmouth's
participation in the study.
Mr. Arnold Whitworth addressed Council in connection with
the subject under disc~ssion, referring to the take-over of the
Dartmouth Transit System by the present operator. The motion
was then -put" and carried (AId. Stubbs and Granfield voting
against).
At the November 12th meeting, Council def'erred until the
regular December meetin~ a Resolution (#59) authorizing the ,
City to complete the work on Churchill Drive from Kennedy Drive
to Byron Crescent,as called,for in the, subdivision agreement
between the City and,S. Jachimowicz Ltd. Council was advised
by the Mayor that Kennedy Drive is now completely paved and
that 'o~~r .490 £.eet of Cl111rghUl Drive remains to be paved.
The provision for drainage on this sect~on does not comply with
City requirements and the Mayor 'suggested that since no houses

delayed until the subdivider has had an opportunity to meet the . ~

would be in order since the issue was not resolved by Council
at.that time; two motions were proposed but both were defeated.
This procedure for reconsideration was questioned by Ald·.--Stubbs .

, agenda for introduction as New BUsiness. The motion was
seconded by Ald. Granfield and was defeated. After referring
'to the November'12th minutes, and,based on a,ruling from the
Solicitor (in accordance with Section42A of the procedural
by-law), the Mayor stated that he had been incorrect in his
previous ruling to Ald. Brownlowand suggested that the matter
be resolved by a vote on whether or not Council favoured re

agenda be reconsidered., The motion was seconded bi AId. Smith
but did, not obtain the necessary two-thirds majority vote and
was therefore defeated. The Solicitor advised that the matter ~ .. -'
can be brought before Council again in two months time. AId.
Brownlow asked·to have the item placed on the February agenda
and stated his intention to gi V9 noti'ce of motion prior to
that date. The Mayor' ruled AId. Brown16w's reQuest in ·order.
As previously agreed by Counc1~, AId. Sanford 'at this time
introduced a r~solution dealing with the need for a rent control
by-law. It was moved by AId. Sanford and Stubbs that the Mayor~
appoint a three-member committee to study the need and mechanics
of instituting a rental control by-l,aw and report back to the ' .. January meeting of Council with their.findings and recommend-
ations. AId. Sanford presented a number of facts and related
figure~ in support of his resolution, and referred to the
financial problems created for citizens whose rents have
recently been increased by as much as 35%. He noted that the
City of Montreal has a rental control board and the City of
Ottawa has recently applied for similar legislation.
AId. Smith and Wambolt also supported the motion, and in
answer :to questions raised by AId. 'Wambolt" the Solicitor
explained the procedure which Council would follow in attempting·
to obtain legislation for the establishment of a rental authority
in the City. Under Section 425 of the City Charter; application'
. could be made to the Gov~rnor-in-Council to have legislation
enacted in 1959 for the Town of Dartmouth, brought into effect
for the City of Dartmouth. If this were accomplished, a by-law
approved by Council and by the Minister of MuniCipal Affairs,
could be enacted to establish a rental authority. AId. Wambolt
wasady,ised that Council does not have the power-to invoke' a
rent freeze in the meantime.
Council agreed to hear representations from members'of
the public, present for the meeting, and a briei~as presented

by-Mr. Charles Cartiel on behalf of a group of City rent-payers.
In addition to what he termed, 'the spiralling rent charges'
impos~d by apartment owners, he also expressed concern about
the $5. fee levied by' some, landlords on rents not paid by
tenants on or before,the first of each month, and about the
failure of soine landlords to provide either reasonabl,e leases
or any lease at all fo~ the protection of tenants. Henoted
that government has seen fit to exercise controloveryarious
utilities and services, a,nd stressed the importance of having
similar control over rental charges as a means of protecting
tenants against exploitation by apartment owners. Mr~ Jqhn
O'Halloran, Mr. Jim 'Crowdis, Mrs. Ha'rrison, and Mr. Floyd
Elliot addressed CounC'il as well" speaking in support of the
rent control resolution. Mr. Cr~wdis suggested there might be
some merit in having one or two rent payers represented on tlie
committee proposed in the resolution and the ~ayor pOinted out
that ample opportunity will be provided to hear representations
. from both teriimts a,nd developers' •. Mrs. Harrisonsaid that while
many l~ndlords had taken advantag~ of City tax increases to
raise rents disproportionately, the building in which she resides
has been ~p for tax sale on two occasions, indicating that the
. taxes were 'not paid although a rental increase was attributed " ,
to this factor. The Mayor agreed tha~ l~s. Harrison had raised
an,interesting point. In answer to questions 'raised, by Mr.
, Elliot about substandard housing conditions which exist in the
City, the Mayor no;ted, that Council is aware of this situation
and is attempting' to resolve the problem by enacting a Minimum
Standards By-law.
Ald. Weldon suggested that rental controls enacted without "
some al~ernative incentive to encourage apartment building will
only serve,to depress the building of new units and WiJ,J.:rEl§lJlt
in failure to improve the present situation. Mr. Kevins, a
developer, expressed et similar opinion and described 'the slum

The· School Board has recommended to Council that a 23-class
room school, with capacity-to add an additional nine rooms; be_
constructed to replace Park School· and to'J)rovide facilities , .' .
for· the first step in consolidating the elementary,grades of.
Hawthorne, Findlay,and Greenvale Schools. This recommendation
is based on staff rep'orts which further recommend that Thistle
Street be closed to public use and the proposed'new school be .. constructed over a portion of the existing street, south of the
, . Dartmouth 1I1emoria+. Rink. The Board has reQuested that Council
determine.its intentions with respect to the closing of Thistle
Street and, if, this action is not considered feas:i,.ore" by.
Council, .that the matter be referred back to the Board for a
further recommendation with respect to' site. It was moved by
Ald. Stockalland'~rederick~ that the Board's recommendation
be adopted.
-Speaking on the motion, Ald •. ~tockall and, Ald. Smith, as
Chairman .of the Building & Sites Committee-, briefly described
the present condition of Park School and agroo(i that it should
be replaced with a new .. school building. Agreement has not been
reached, however"on a choice of site, and Ald. Stockall
suggested that Council might wish to conSider, as an alternative
to closing Thistle Street, locating the school on the City-owned
land between the Tourist Bureau and the Library-Museum Building.
He referred to the value-of the present Park School site-and
suggest,ed that the financial return realized from the sale of
this property could be applied toward the cost of constructing'
the new school. A~. Brownlow noted that this matter was
- brought ,before· Council· two years ago when the problems likely
to be encountered with the heating system in the present school
were pointed out. Ald. Granfield and Weldon were 6pposed to

further school construction'and Couhcil generally was opposed
to the closure of Thistle Street. Ald.'McDonah said he did not
like to see the City's commons area taken over for school
purposesa~d AId. Davis did not consider this area to be a
satisfactory location for a school at all, particularly' an
elementary school. Ald.Wambolt proposed a multi-purpose
building ?lhich would provide classroom space and floor area to
be leased as office space to offset the .cost of construction.
(At the hour of 11:00 p.m.~ on motion of AId. Stockall
and Stubbs, Council agreed to continue until completion b~ the
item under discussion.)
'AId. Freder~cks favour~d the replacement of Park School
and the closure ,of Thistle Street to provide the site recommend
ed by staff in accordance with the Central Dartmouth Urban
Renewal Scheme, bu~ AId. Sanfo~d andStubbs felt that further
study of development trends, the re-allocation of school
boundaries and catchment areas, and,other.,sllch influer:lcing
factors should receive fu~ther study, rather than moving too
quickly to replace Park School without sufficient information
. 'on the future development patterns projected for this area of
the City. It was moved in amendmen~ by Ald.·Stubbs and Sanford'
that. the matter be referred back to all levels of staff con
cerned (Planning Director, ,Supt. of Schools) for further study
. and recommendation to Council. AId. Brownlow and Wambolt spoke
against the amendment which was defeated (AId. Stubbs, Sanford,
and Weldon voting in favour). It was moved in amendment by
AId. Stockall and Smith that Thistle Street not be closed as
,rec?mmendedby staff, but that the new school be located on
the site adjacent to the Library-Museum Building.
It was moved by AId. Barber and Davis and carried that

has had an opportunity to inspect Park School and visit,the

During the regularly scheduled Council meeting of this
date~, Counc:tlli[Eft as' a Committee-of-the-Whole to discuss the
Park School question.,' ,Prior to moving into Committee, Ald.
Sanford had proposed that an architect be engaged to prepare a
report and cost estimate of the improvements required to keep
, Park School in operation, and di'scussion 'centered mainly around
this proposal. Those members who favoured B further report on , "
the buildingts . condition, generally felt that it would be more
satisfactory to engage a consulting engineer so that the
structural soundness of the school may be determined, in addition,
to the plumbing and: heating requirements. In answer to a questio:'
raised by Alcf. ~arber, the Clerk-Administrator advised that the
cost estimate which has already been provided, was prepared by'
the Maintenance Supt. and an estimate of between $150,000. and
$175,000. has also been prepared by a well-k11own local, general
contractor.
Ald. Brownlow, Fredericks, Smith,andstockall favoured , .
replacement 6f Park School and considered the request for
further study as simply a means of prolonging the inevitable
action, which must be taken to provide a new school building. , '
Ald. Stockall suggested that the possibility.'of'selling'the
present school site as a location for a commercial, revenue
producing type of development, makes the replacement of the
scliool economically feasible. Ald. Smith stated that after
inspecting the building, ,he was of the opinion. that it is""
reaching the stage where it is unsafe for the children using
it.
It was moved by Ald. Stockall and' Sanford and carried that
the Committee-of-the-Whole reconyeneas ~ouncil.

ducted by the Maintenance Supt. and the Supt. of Schools. The
deficiencies in,the building were pointed out during the tour
and the, affects ,of a gene,ral settling trend,evidenced through-~
out the building, were noted. In view of these affects on the , ,
plumbing, on the heating system, and on the building's entire
struc,ture, it was recommended by Supt. Mc~arthy, in concurrence

~OINT PORT COMMISSION
• .,
\
In a report to Council, the Clerk-Administrator advised
that the Mayor and members of the Industries Committee met on
November 27th with l~yor O'Brien and members of the Halifax
Port Commission to discuss the possibility of the City of
Dartmouth participating. with t~e City of Halifax in the promotion'
of Port Deveiopment. As a result. of' '"that meeting',' the Industries . .' . . .
, Committee has recommel1ded that Dartmouth paJ:'.tic-ipate.:...wi-th~-the ... ,
i City of HSilifax 1nthe establishment o~ the Halif.ax-Dartinout~
Port Commission. Th~ City of Dartmouth would name two represent
atives to the Commission and, accordingly, would pay one-eighth , . of the budget. It ,was noted that if Council agrees to this
.recommendation, it will be necessary for the City of H~lifax tq
obtain'an amendment to existing.legislation, changing the name
of the 'Port Commission and permitting thiS representation •
. It was moved by Ald. 'Hampson and Sanford that the Committee's
recommendation be adopted by Council.
,The Mayor rev.iewed the meetings leading to the Commit'tee' s
decisi,on imd explained ,the need for more effecti ~e joint ,Promotior.
of port facilities by' both cities. Ald. Gran field , Stubbs, and
Smith did not favour participation in a joint Commission and
suggested a number of ways in which Dartmouth bould independently
'promote the 4evelopment,of a Navy Island pier, recommended in
the Murray-~on~s report. Ald. Granfield felt that co-operation
with the .City of Halifax in'port promotion and the development \
of' containerized piers, dan best be accomplished through mutual
co~operation between the Mayors of Halifax and Dartmouth •.
Ald. Stubbsexpressed the opi~ion that development of our
own port potential should b~ pursued through our Industrial
Cpmmission (present Industries Committee). Ald. Davis questioned
whether Dartmouth'sminority representation on the Port
Commission would change 'the Commission's basic thinking or

been committed~ The Mayor commented that it would be the
responsibility of our\representatives to insure that promotion
of Navy Island is given th~ priority it deserves. Ald. Sanford
pOinted out that the size of Dartmouth's representation is
limited only ,by the extent of our financial participation in the
Commission's budget. AId. Hampsonnoted that the development
of Halifax's south-end pier'was,areality and that both reports
on port development had been prepared ,before Dartmouth was
approached to join the Commission, which,he'said, is basically
a promotional organization. AId. Sanford spoke of the position
in which the po'rt of Halifax isli~ely to find itself in relation
to containerization and future world-wide shipping lanes. Both
he, .and AId., Fredericks supported the motion.
It was moved by Ald. Smith and Davis that this matter' be . r" -
deferred for a'period of six months. The motion to defer was
defeated by 'avate of g. - 6.
Ald! Weldon suggested that the past record of the Port
Commission would seem tOo indicate its ineffectiveness and felt
the token representationpr9posed for Dartmouth will not improve
this situation appreciably. AId. Hampson pointed out that
d~velopment of a south-end containerized pier 'W~s initiated
through the promotion of the Port, Commission. Ald. Granr:i.eld
asked if the City would be committed to continued support of the
Commission as it is in the case of the Regional Plimning Commissj r:
The Mayor explained that the Planning Commission was established
by the Province, although each of the participating municipalitie~ I
was consulted about its formation, ~nd suggested that 'a clause,
permitting Dartmouth to withdraw from the Port Comtnission, could'
be included when the new legislation is drafted. After further
discussion, the "motion was put and carried by a vote of 8 - 6

City Council, Dec.~lO/68;- Page 5 • r, NEW RINK
.,
Reports prepared by staff have been considered by the
Special Committee appointed to study rink facilities and con
struction in the City, and the Committee has recommende'd that
Council authorize the construction.,of an ice rink on a site
adjacent to Prince Andrew High School" with the maximum cost
not to exceed ;;200,000. It was further reconunended_that,Council
'reallocate the 1969 Capital Expenditures Budget Projections for
the acquisition and development of Parks and Open Space for this
purpose, and that yhe proposed building be heated so that it
may be used for summer activities as well. It was recommended
that the firm of C. A. Fowler & Bauld & Mitchell be appointed
architects for the building. It was moved 'by AId. Stockall and
Barber that the recommendations of the Special Committee be ,
adopted. It was moved by AId. Davisand Weldonthat this matter
be defe:r:-red pending consideration of the 1969 Capital Budget
in-March. -The motion to defer was defeated by a vote of 7 - 6,
"(AId. Hampson was absent from the Council Chamber when the vote
waS taken).,
Speaking in support of the opiginal motion, AId. Stoclcall
said that if the Minor Hockey program is to be continued, . additional ice surface is reQuired'in the City •. Ald. Sanford
. and Smith agreed that the present rink facilities are becoming,
more. and more inadequate, and AId. Sanford stressed the need '
.,:f:.o:r a year-round facility which young people in the 14 - 18 year
old age bracket can use for other activities during the spring
and summer months. AId. Barber and Fredericks also supported
the Committee' spro'posal, but AId. Stubbs, Granfield, McDonah,
and Weidon were opposed to it, based principally on the cost
involved and the affect of additional spending on the City's
present financial situation. AId. Sttlbbs suggested that the

BRIEF: LT'.GOV. WARRANT CASES
ways and means of raising money to support recreati'on' programs
and facilities in the City. AId. Smith felt that i~ Council "
wishes to cut back on capital expenditures, a complete moratorium
should be declared, rather than Singling out individual items _
such as the proposed rink and Park School.
At this pOint, the Mayor asked the Deputy Mayor, AId.
Sanford, to take the chai~ so that he might address Council and
express his opinion on the subject. He said that while he was
not opposed to building the rink, he did not consider it
advisable to make decisions on capital expenditures in mid-year
and out of context with the over-all capital budget. He
suggested that the citizens themselves could indicate their
interest and support by organizing a fund-raising campaign and
working toward the construction of a' new rink, and noted that
a service club in the City has expressed an interest in.taking
on such a project. Commenting on the I-iayor's statements, AId.
Stockall stressed the urgency of reaching a decision about the
,rink construction at this time in order that we may have
su££icient time to complete the building'and provide an ice
sur£ace for next winter. AId. Sanford asked if it would be
possible to have the capitai bu~get made avail~ble for Council's
consideration by the end o£ January. The Clerk-Administrator
indicated that this would not be possible. The motion carried
by a vote of g - 6 (AId. S,tubbs,Granfield, McDonah, Wambolt,
Davis, and W.eldon voting against). AId. Gran£ield gave notice
of reconsideration.
A Brief, dealing with Lt. Governor Warrant cases, was'
presented by AI~. Stubbs with the recommendation that it be .
endorsed by Council for presentation to the MacKeBn Commission,
n0w.J!.E.~~~g hearings in connection with the operation o£ mental
institutions and the c&,re of mental patients. In essence ,the

MOTION: FERRY OPERATION
: Consulting E~gineers.
:.Council proceeded to complete the December' 3rd . agenda,
continued from the December 10th meeting~
At the November 20th Council meeting, Ald. Stockall gave , .
notice of motion concerning the possible take-over of tne ferry
oper~tion'by the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission~ In
presenting his proposal for a feasibility study, Ald. Stockall
outlined the reasons why he con~~dered this an opportune' time
to undertake such ,an investigation, and stated.that the Dartmouth
Ferry- operation .has .. been the weak. link inthe.cross-harboUI'-"
transportation pattern. He said that'now is the, obvious time
. 'I ..
'" , '
City Council, Dec. 17/68. Page 2 ,
•
to have the ferry system integrated,with overall metropolitan
transportation development, and moved that a Committee, appointed
by Council, consisting ,of AId. Granfield, Marvin, Brownlow, and
himself, be empowered to do a feasibility study of the' cross
harbour ferry operation and ;report back to Council, no later
'than the'regular March, ,1969' council meeting. The ,motionwa~ ___ ., ...
seconded ~y AIel., Davis .. AId. Fredericks'suggested that in
addition to dealing with the -';prious aspects outlined in AId,
Stockall's brief, recommenaations rel~ting to an addi:t~onal
Counci~ member on any Board which' is to administer the ferry
'operation and to a guaranteed munber of years for the~erry
operation; would also be pertinent.
AId. ,Stubbs felt that the pr~posal put· forward in the
motion is'~timely, comiAg as it does before the 'results 'of the
metropolitan transit study are available, and expressed concern
"about the trend toward the by~passing of Standing Committees
in, favour of sub-c,ommittees appointed by Council. It was moved
by Ala. Stubbs and Granfield ,that the pz:oposal be referred to
the Finance & Executive Committee for consideration 'and report
to CoUncil.
Speaking against the amendment, AId,. Stockali explaihed
,·,-his-opposition to referral, pointing out that the members n~ed
to the committee proposed in the motion either have 'been or are
at present, members of ,the Finance & Executive Committee. AId.
Sanford favoured deferral ~f the -study alt_~gethe!,..!.or at least
a one-year period until after the metropolitan transportation
-st,udy, but Aid. Smith felt that the lorig~r a study i,S' deferred,
the more problems connec::ted with the ferry operation will
increase. He reQuested a copy of the Ferry C'ommission '8 . .',
current financial statement, and was advised by the Mayor that
this information will be provided~ AId. Brownlow suggested
that if the matter is referredt6th~ Finan?eCoinrnittee, AId • • ',', • .1

would not be in order. The notice was withdrawn in f'avour of'

MOTION: ,PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD
At the November 20th Council meeting, AId. Fredericks
•
•
gave notice of motion concerning the authority of' the Board
of' Public Utilities. It was moved by Ald. Fredericks and
'Stubbs that the Government of Nova Scqtia be asked to set up
a ,commission to study the role of the Public Utilities Board
, in a democratic society , and determine' if the role of the
Board, as' it now operates, ,is,--inthe best democratic interests
of the people of' Nova Scotia. While the existence of such a
control board was generally considered ne cessary . to our SOCiety,
the inability of municipalities to ~ppe'al decisions of the
, Board to an elected body,~3Uch as the Dept. of Municipal Af'fairs,
,was regarded as an infringement on certain democratic rights.
Ald. Brownlow suggested that the motion, to achieve ef'f'ective
action, sho,uld be more specific and in accordance with this
'"
.' ... sugg~stion, the Mayor proposed that the Government' be requested
to examine its policy with regard to the legislative powers
.which have been given to.thePublic Utilities Board, with con
sideration being given to the possibility 'of a right to appeal
the Board"s deCision to the Minister of' Municipal Affairs, or
