Commission Will Accept Pipeline Owners' Offer
The Hamilton Spectator, 1956
Hamilton Beach, Jan. 14 - A bylaw to accept payment of $20,000 from the operators of the trans-Canada oil pipeline is being prepared by the Burlington Beach Commission. .The agreement will be of 20 years' duration. Negotiations for the pipeline passing over the sand strip have been under way since 1950, and the agreement will be retroactive to that year.
A second bylaw is to be drawn to release the Canadian National Railways from fencing the railroad along the Beach limits. The railroad intends to remove all the fencing as it is continually being torn down and damaged.
The Public School Trustees Association asked the commission in a letter, to join their association, but as this had never been done in the past, it was turned down.
William F. Johnson, principal of Bell Cairn Memorial School, reported an enrolment of 566, with an average attendance of 92 per cent. The school board approved Mr. Johnson's recommendation that the walls of the auditorium stage be re-painted, as the stage is now used at the household science room.
Dr. Fred Eggleton, MOH, was engaged in carry out the re-vaccination of about 250 pupils. Granted Interview
Reginald Wheeler, president of Burlington Beach Property Owners' Association, presented the reply he received from the Hon. William A. Goodfellow, Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs, granting an interview with his department, for a delegation from the association.
Fred Jento, chairman, said the commission had been to Queen's Park, but as yet, had not received any information as to what is to be done in the proposed annexation with Hamilton, either from the department, or from Mayor Lloyd D. Jackson.
Police chief Howard Nickling presented the December report as follows: 98 radio calls; 211 Highway Traffic Act; 29 parking tags; eight persons arrested and held at Dundas; two arrests for outside police departments on warrents; 134 summonses for speeding; four summonses for passing on the right; 25 parking violations; 55 complaints attended top 46 investigations; 12 accidents investigated; 22 escorts; two stolen cars recovered; 35 summonses served for outside police courts; 22 appearances in court, totalling 134 hours, and 3,961 miles logged on the police cruiser. There were no juvenile or family court cases.
William Leeming was re-elected vice-chairman of the commission. Congratulations were extended by Mr. Jento to Mr. Leeming, and all the members of the commission. All the permanent employees of the com¬mission were given a vote of thanks, and a bonus during January.
Property Owners Hear Beach Annexation Bill
Hamilton Beach, Jan. 17-At the meeting of the Burlington Beach Property Owners' Association, Reginald Wheeler, president, presented some facts on the visit of the executive to Queen's Park. This interview, with the Hon. William A. Good-fellow, Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs, was to ascertain the situation of the Beach, in regard to the proposed annexation with Hamilton.
After much study by the Department of Municipal Affairs, a bill is to be drawn and put before the Legislature, recommending the annexation of tbe Beach to Hamilton. One of the many reasons, was that it felt the community had stood long: enough in a unique form of government, appointed by the provincial government.
The readings begin in February, but it is not known whether they will be accepted or not. Those attending the interview were: Mrs. F, Gilchrist, Robert Ewles and Jack Kemp. In the meantime a committee volunteered to inquire further into details of the County of Went-worth and Hamilton, regarding tax rates and assessments. The committee consists of: Mr. Wheeler, William Johnston, Thomas Brock, John McKinnon, Ray Heatherley and Mr. Ewles.
Further business discussed in relation to the clarification of money to be received by at least 149 owners of bay-shore property, for their riperian rights for the land, which the Department of Highways has purchased for the Skyway Bridge project.
E. D. Hickey, solicitor for the sub-committee, appointed by the association, recommended strongly that the request of clarification of this clause, regarding "access to the water" rights, be left in abeyance, until property owners are contacted by the Municipal Board, Toronto.
All wards were represented and several complaints were received from Ward Three, over the condition of Kenmore Boulevard, and the water flooding the bottom section of adjoining streets.
In Ward Five, garbage is being dumped at the foot of Sixth Avenue, and an inquiry will be made.
The Beach Commission will be asked to take notice of the bad condition of the sand strip alongside the main boulevard. Mr. Ewles gave a note of encouragement to the property owners, who paid lawyers fees, to fight for the land prices. He said they would receive a substantial refund from the Department of Highways.
