Wilbert Hamilton expressed the belief that "something will be done this year with regard to the railway's situation in Ottawa" as the first move in their local postwar program. He was confident that the removal of the crosstown tracks would be, started and that a move could be expected in connection with the transfer of the Union Station to another site.

Walsh, who was chairman of the meeting, added that "Hull is very enthusiastic about our bylaw." The meeting, on the motion of Aid. Hamilton, decided to sponsor a dinner in the near future to which city officials and members of the civic town planning committee would be invited to hear a presentation of the anti-smoke program and a progress report. From 30 to 40 persons would be invited to receive such details. Committee Secretary Alfred T. Hastey was instructed to make early arrangements for the gathering so that a general discussion of plans could be conducted before the proposed bylaw is submitted Amusement Tax To Be Revived?

McMillan, with the chairman and vice-chairman. There was some discussion re garding a recommendation for A proposal for the revival of the amusement tax in Ontario is being considered by the Provincial government as an item of legislation to come before the 1947 session of the legislature which opens March 6 at Toronto. Ontario theater-goers have not been required to pay a Provincial ticket tax since 1939, when the impost was abolished by Hon. Mitchell Hepburn, then Premier, as a gesture toward visitors from the United States. The Ontario amusement-tax question has been more or less linked with the controversy over the Dominion-Provincial taxation program.

The Canadian government imposed a 20 per cent excise tax on theater grosses as a war measure and this levy is being continued indefintely, despite the fact that amusement taxes were previously in the jurisdiction of the Provinces for revenue purposes. If the Provincial legislature restores the tax. Ontario amusement-seekers will virtually pay a dual assessment, to the Federal and Provincial treasuries, as in the rae of Quebec and other provinces which have continued to have a ticket tax. In Quebec the combined tax is equal to approximately one-third of the admission price. In pre-war Ontario, the tax averaged 10 per cent.

Mayor R. H. Saunders of Toronto has already proposed that the proceeds from an Ontario amusement tax be turned to municipalities on a quota basis to pay for local relief, welfare and hospital In the years before the war. Ontario collected in excess of $2,000,000 annually from theater patrons. Theater-company officials at Toronto have learned of the suggested tax revival in Ontario and are watching developments.

Warner, smoke abate ment superintendent, but action was deferred pending a study of possible candidates for the posi tion. Plans for three residential subdivisions which will provide 1,300 housing units when completed, were submitted for approval to the Ottawa Planning Area Committee, meeting Thursday in its inaugural session for 1947. The subdivision, at Manor Park Mann avenue, and in the Rideau river-Bronson avenue -Dow Lake area, will be investigated oy an advisory board of engineers, the committee decided. Recommendations will then be submitted to Hon. Dana Porter.

Ontario minister of Planning and Reconstruction. D. P. Cruikshank, reeve of Rock-cliffe, whom the meeting unanimously elected chairman for 1947, said the subdivision plans would be dealt with as speedily as possible. Mayor Stanley Lewis said it was essential that housing projects such as the 400 apartments Contemplated for the Mann avenue area be not held back by administrative delays.

A E. K. Bunnell, consultant to the city, explained the functions the committee would fulfil under the Ontario Planning Act. He pointed out that the Ottawa Planning group had no absolute right of approval on plans submitted by municipalities. "Rather, these plans are submitted for your judgment and consideration, so that you can establish whether the plan warrants your recommendation to the minister of planning," Mr.

Bunnell stated. Advisory Body Mr. Bunnell said he did not believe the committee's work would infringe on municipal management. "I believe the municipalities will welcome this committee because community planning in the past has been largely negative. They will think of your group as an advisory body and not one that is over-reaching its jurisdiction." The committee was informed that plans of subdivisions were approved by the municipalities before being submitted.

Mr. Bunnell said, however, that a municipality might, if it so desired, submit a plan directly to Hon. Dana Porter without consulting the planning committee. Reference was made to a section Suits prmg bers decided this meant they would deal with the question of schools, water service, and sewers as well as other matters, in regard to any subdivisions submitted for approval. Correspondence read at the meeting included a letter from the Federal District Commission, stressing the need for co-operation of the different planning bodies in the Ottawa area in arriving at a common policy on housing and zone clearance.

The Township of Gloucester asked that Manor Park and adjacent area be declared a residential area. Other communications dealt with the closing of streets in outlying townships. Con. Finley McRae suggested there might be some overlapping in the duties of the Ottawa Area Planning Committee and the National Capital Planning Committee. F.

E. Bronson. chairman cf the Federal District Commission said the two bodies would have to work closely together. Co-relation of their activities would be aided materially by the fact that a number of individuals sat on both committees. The committee set up a tentative budget of $5,000 for its activities during the year.

It was decided to establish office quarters in the Transportation building. Fred Pritchard of the city clerk's office was named secretary. Members Named to the consulting body of engineers which will advise the planning committee were: Cir.y Works Commissioner Frank C. Askwith; assistant commissioner D. Wright; Waterworks Engineer W.
