THE EVENING CITIZEN, Ottawa, Thursday. July 20. 134. 7 Urges Carleton Committee For Post-War Planning, Development "Explosive" development of sub then they are plans only for experts, but if the people draw the urban and rural areas, through the subdivision of property, had resulted in excess construction of roads, Hydro lines, sewers and schools within the province of Ontario, A. E.

K. Bunnell, councillor on community planning in the new provincial Department of Planning and Development, told a meeting here yesterday. Similarly "ribbon" development along the extensive highway systems of the province had caused excessive expenditure In the development of Hydro and other facilities. "More money is pended this way than would have to be spent if communities were built up from the inside out instead of developing subdivisions all over suburban areas." he said. "The only one who benefit in the latter case is the man who sells and gets out." In Ottawa with Dr.

George B. Lanjford. a director of the new fpilf ft y( ft plans, then they arc for the people." It was obviously impossible to coordinate the efforts of 1,000 municipalities in the province in the matter of post-war planning. Thus it was advisable that these communities work through the 30 or 40 counties in which they were located by means of the setting up of county bodies. These bodies would coordinate the efforts of the county municipalities and be supreme where the interests of two or more municipalities were involved.

The money for post-war development and expansion would come after the governments got together on the distribution of the post-war tax burden. Planning and development might be one means of taking up the slack of unemployment when war plants began to close ana soldiers return home, he added. Arranged in Priority. "The thing for the municipalities to do is to figure out what they want, arrange these things in order of priority and bring them to the blue print stage," said Dr. Lang-ford.

If this were done, legislation might be drafted following a meeting of the department and municipal representatives next fall to permit the needed expansion programs in various communities. "The government feels that the municipalities should pay for this planning," said the speaker. "The government is not prepared at present, and I don't think it will be, to Bet aside any large sums for such planning." Mayor Lewis pointed out that courses in town planning and development had been organized at Carleton College and thought some recognition, possibly in the form of a provincial grant, should be made to the local institution for this extension class work planned for the fall. department, Mr. Bunnell pointed cut, however, that city planning could not stay within the city's boundaries but must be extended to surrounding municipalities.

Many Attend Meetiny. Civic fathers, reeves and other rJficials from townships in the immediate vicinity of the Capital, and members of the civic town planning committee heard the speakers. Mayor Lewis presided at the meeting, which was called by the Ottawa Expansion Committee. The Toronto men told the gathering that post-war expansion might best be carried out through the or-canization of a county committee comprised of three members from the city, two from the suburban section, two from the agricultural section and two representing the province. This body would hold precedence over Individual city or other municipal planning bodies, since it would be directly accountable to the provincial Department of Planning and Development.

To co-ordinate and augment the work of this committee a reference committee would be set up through which all ideas would be advanced and decided upon as to practicability before submission to the pro Mr. Bunnell noted that an essential part of community expansion was the setting up of industrial zones and provision for suburban development for those who worked in the urban areas but lived outside the city. "I hope you will see fit to set up a Joint city-county committee clothed with responsibility and provided with a staff and money to proceed with this work," he said, "and as an alternative, a city of Ottawa committee and a county committee to plan expansion." Groundwork for such a committee in Ottawa has already been laid through the Ottawa Expansion Committee. vincial department. The speakers urged the immediate setting up of such a body in Carleton county so that its experiences might be relayed to the Department of Planning and Development and prove of value in the department's work.

Delegating Authority. "The new department is subdividing planning and delegating authority." said Dr. Langford. "We don't want to set up any bureaucracy. If plans are devised by experts alone, II I llkil' Liberal M.P.
