News Paper Articles from 1954

Scott, I have several questions.

What is meant by ‘no loss of revenue’? and was the movement of the homes in relation to the construction of the Skyway Bridge?

What is meant by ‘the cost of building permanent homes’? the cost to whom?


Is ‘the beach highway’ the QEW? Was the Beach responcible for the maintainence of the QEW on the beach strip?
Residents who were in the way of the QEW construction were compensated for their homes, many just moved them at no real cost to themselves, so no loss of revenue.

At one time the Beach was mostly a summer retreat for the wealthy and many had summer homes down here that weren't really fit for the winter months, I assume permanent homes are year round use and would obviously cost more for the owner to build.

The QEW was once Beach Blvd itself as there wasn't the highway and Skyway Bridge we have today, but the Beach and the City were never responsible for any maintenance of the QEW, that belong to the Province.

From a 1952 article;
Highway and dirt strip — who maintains, and costs? — brought forth a lot of argument and criticism in general. Fred Jento, commission chairman, said the Ontario Department of Highways maintains the 22-foot highway at no cost to the Beach. The commission polices it and gets 40 per cent of fine collected. The dirt strip is the responsibility of the commission and the province refunds 33 per cent of maintenance costs.

Scott, regarding the second issue, that is a strainge use of the word ‘revenue’. I thought it was refering to the lease that land owners on the beach had to enter in to with the city of Hamilton. Meaning that with the decrease in the number of houses on the beach, there was a loss of revenue to Hamilton. And so if any porsion of the money paid to Hamilton, went to the Beach Commission, there would have been a decrease in revenue to that body with the decrease in the number of houses.

Scott,


http://hamiltonbeachcommunity.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-1537.html

and this page also seems to refer to lots on ‘the beach’ being leased.

“The second surveying party represented the city of Hamilton, which had acquired control of all vacant Crown Land in the name of recreation for its people. Just what that meant in practical terms soon became evident. The surveyed lots were sold at an auction to individuals who then subleased the land for $10 annually. Revenues from the annual rent, purchasers were assured, would be spent on the further development of the beach. The leasing arrangement ensured that the city would have money to spend on the area, since it was denied the right to collect other taxes from the residents.”

________________________________________

David;
From what I have read, Hamilton didn't get the property taxes from the Beach back then, Saltfleet did. So the lease agreement gave Hamilton some form of tax income although it wasn't officially a tax. So yes confusing, I can't imagine spending a large fortune on a home such as the Moorings or Elsinore and not having legal right to the land.”

Scott,
Was the ‘Old Virginia Inn’, and the ‘Old Virginia Restaurant’ as cited in the Radial Stops thread, the same place, maybe just under different ownership?

Once again, the Old Virginia Restaurant was well before my time and I don't if some of the older members remember it, so there isn't much info on that business as it doesn't really get a mention in any of the many history books about the Beach.

I have attached a picture showing the old bascule bridge and just past the bridge there is a small store or restaurant, hopefully someone will know if this is the Old Virginia Inn or Restaurant.

From The Sand Strip;

At Station 22 in the 1940's there was a well-known dining spot called Old Virginia. It was a house that had been converted into a restaurant featuring southern fried chicken. It was easily identified from the road by a life-size wooden cut out of negro mammy basting a chicken.

Do you think that this was the restaurant near the canal with a picture of Aunt Jemina?

If there is more that can be added, please do.”

I just picked up a matchbook cover from the Old Virginia, it doesn't state whether it was a restaurant or an Inn. But adds that it was located on Hamilton Beach, Burlington 5612.

Edit; added photo of the Old Virginia restaurant send in by the family that owned it.

Beach articles from 1954, thanks to the Simmons family for their donation of scrap books containing all the Beach news of the day.

““The fourth straight win was scored by the Bell Cairn Memorial School in the softball game for the Saltfleet Township school league, when they played Saint Francis' School at the Beach diamond. Score, 19-5.”

I wonder if there are any records of the Saltfleet Township base ball school league. Maybe they would have names and pictures of students who attended the Bell Cairn School.”

What happened to all of the school records when Bell Cairn School was closed? Did the school ever preduce year books? They would probably have had lots of pictures of the students and teachers.

There were many school class photos posted in the old photo gallery but all were removed in the last hack and I haven't gotten around to replacing them. As for records, I am sure the school board has these stored away somewhere and most likely not the easy to pull out.

“BASEBALL CHAMPIONS
In 1938 Beach Bungalow joined with Stoney Creek, Fruitland and Winona Schools in forming a softball league. Joe Rogers, a former student now living in Beamsville, recalls "the Beach team was champion for some time".”

“BASEBALL CHAMPIONS
In 1938 Beach Bungalow joined with Stoney Creek, Fruitland and Winona Schools in forming a softball league. Joe Rogers, a former student now living in Beamsville, recalls "the Beach team was champion for some time".”

http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/sgc-cms...es2%2FADCZ%2F0001%2Ftext%2F&remEx=&lg=English
From David's link;

In the days before Hamilton was busily gobbling up land, the area which we now know as Beach Boulevard was considered to be part of Saltfleet Township. Later, during the 19th century, it came under the jurisdiction of Burlington Beach Commissioners, a rather unusual organization -"the only one in Ontario that I know of," says John W. Pell, the retired school inspector who is the area's foremost historian of the Wentworth schools.
The children who lived in the beach area went to school in Hamilton. For this privilege they paid $1 per child per month. When the Hamilton Board of Education announced it would increase this rate to $3, there was a lot of complaining," notes Mr. Pell. But the complaints came to naught, and, effective January 1916, the new rate came into force.

BEACH SCHOOL
That was when it was decided to build a school. "The Burlington Beach Commissioners (Colonel J.J. Grafton and Wellington J. Morden) put a lot of thought into this project. It was the Commission's secretary, Miss M.H. Carroll, who suggested a bungalow-type of building.
It was quickly constructed and named Beach School, although, Mr. Pell points out, the name was soon changed to Beach Bungalow School. The first principal -teacher was Miss Charlotte Howlett, who later became Mrs. Dean, the mother of Wentworth MPP Gordon Dean. "Later on in her career," says Mr. Pell, "Mrs. Dean became a teacher at the old Fruitland School."
When Beach Bungalow School first opened it had an enrollment of nearly 50 students. The population of the area grew, and so did the school, various additions being built over the years.
Talking about the official opening of a large extension Sept. 3, 1937, Mr. Paul notes that "a crowd assembled to witness the formal opening by Dr. Duncan McArthur, Deputy-Minister of Education for Ontario." Various local dignitaries also delivered short addresses before the deputy-minister officially unlocked the
doors.
By then principal W.J. Johnson had a staff of five teachers working with him. That year the school was able to offer a Grade 9 course for the first time and 22 students enrolled. At that time the total enrollment was 257.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONS
In 1938 Beach Bungalow joined with Stoney Creek, Fruitland and Winona Schools in forming a softball league. Joe Rogers, a former student now living in Beamsville, recalls "the Beach team was champion for some time".
In September 1939, a Grade 10 course was offered and 18 students enrolled. Because of the overcrowding at that time, several primary-class students were housed in the Masonic Hall next door. They continued to use the hall until the 1970s when it was purchased to allow for school expansion.
By 1950 there were 390 students and accommodation was found by renting premises else-where. However, on a cold morning in December that year, disaster struck. A fire cause unknown gutted the old bungalow part of the school.
When the new structure began to rise it was decided that the new school should have a new name. Opened Sept. 26, 1951, the crowning touch was the old school bell, mounted on a stone cairn in front of the building. This, of course, inspired the new name -Bell Cairn School.
One former student told the News that the cornerstone which was laid in June that year contained a copper cylinder in which were placed the names of all the students, a penny from each child, current copies of the Spectator and the Stoney Creek News and other items of interest.
"It was a happy school," commented A.E. (Bud) Windsor, who was a teacher there in the
late 19508. "I have happy memories of it." Mr. Windsor is now principal of Pauline Johnson School on Hummingbird Lane in Hamilton.

ENROLLMENT FELL
But enrollments were falling drastically. The last principal of Bell Cairn, Mr. R. Carle (now of Seneca School, Abbington Drive, Hamilton) told the News that "the school had room for 700 students but when I was there the enrollment was only 110."
Bell Cairn finally closed its doors in June last year. It now lives on as a memory; the building a mere hollow shell which no longer echoes with the noise of several hundred children. "I guess I give way to a spot of nostalgia sometimes," said Mr. Carle, who has a painting of the old Beach Bungalow hanging in his office at
Seneca School.

Scott,
I have several more questions.

1- “There are also two small revotes of money not spent last year for repairs to piers and the breaker in the Burlington Channel.”

What was the breaker in the channel?

2- “Hamilton Beach, Feb. 4 — The inconvenience of the new hourly bus service during the week days was under extensive discussion at the Burlington Beach Property Owners Association meeting. Reginald Wheeler, association president, hoped that the Canada Coach Lines would remedy as many of these complaints as possible.”

What does this refer to? Had the bus service previously been more frequent than once an hour?

Here is some hhistory on the Canada Coach Line and the Hamilton Street Railway (HSR).

“Canada Coach Lines
The Canada Coach Lines were an important part of the transit history of the greater Hamilton area from the end of the radial era in the early 1930s until the early 1990s. Originally a privately owned bus company connecting Hamilton to Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Port Dover and Niagara Falls, the CCL bought the HSR from Ontario Hydro in 1946. Oddly enough, shortly after the purchase of the HSR the management of the CCL decided to rearrange the corporate structure, making the HSR the parent company, and the CCL the subsidiary. This structure continued after the City of Hamilton became the owner of the HSR in 1960. The CCL served as a municipally owned intercity bus line until it was sold to Trentway-Wagar in 1993.”

http://www.trainweb.org/hamtransithist/CCL.html

so this decision to run hourly bus service was in fact made by the HSR.
I’m hoping that the web master will include the date that the Canada Coach began its service on the beach.

3- “A vote of thanks was extended to Price's Hardware for the donation of 500 printed membership cards.”

Was Price’s Hardware store located on the beach?
