"RAZE HOVELS, BUILD PARKS PLEA OF LIEUT. GOV. BRUCE," Toronto Star. March 6, 1934. Page 1 & 2. --- "Areas of Misery and Degradation Exert an Unhappy Influence" ---- CREATE TOWN PLAN ---- His honor, the lieutenant-governor, Col. Herbert A. Bruce, in proposing the health of the city of Toronto at the luncheon given at the King Edward hotel on the occasion of the centennial celebrations to-day, said:

"History tells us that the first mayor of Toronto, Mr. William Lyon Mackenzie, did not enjoy such friendly relations with government house as have his successors. Sir John Colborne, then lieutenant- governor, once made rather elaborate preparations to receive him should he call at government house. He mounted artillery on the roof of government house and gunners with lighted matches stood by, ready to receive the future first mayor and his supporters. I have noted that, architecturally, the present government house is not suitable for such a kind of hospitality, and I assure you I shall not follow this precedent, at least during centennial year.

"Now I am to propose a toast toast to the health of Toronto. The health of Toronto must necessarily mean the health of its citizens. It must mean, too, the continued progress and development of Toronto along desirable lines. We have A great and beautiful city that has been blessed by honest and efficient government. It in city enviably situated, a city of fine residential areas, of beautiful buildings, of high standards of citizenship. That is how we see it, but I fear, in all candor one must confess, that this city, in common with every large city, has acquired the inevitable 'alum districts.

"These are of misery and degradation exert an unhappy environmental influence upon many of our citizens. You will probably say: "but Toronto has few such areas and they are not of great extent. I say, and I think you will agree with me, that Toronto wants none of them, and that Toronto wants the Toronto of the the future which we like to contemplate will have none of them.

Hunger for Recreation "It seems to me that the only availing remedy in Toronto is a planned decentralization which will take the outmoded factory away from our congested central areas and substitute for it in the outskirts a new modern building. That would permit workers to establish their to establish the homes es convenient to their work in surroundings where their children would learn by experience that grass is a green. living and loving carpet and that there are really and truly other and lovelier flowers than those on the lithographed calendar that hangs on the cracked, crumbling and wall of a murky room into of a murky room into sun's rays have never penetrated. It seems to me, also that as we evacuate those factories and hovels, we must raze them and bury the distressing memory of them in fine central parks and recreational centres. These parks and recreational centres would be devoted to the physical and mental improvement of our people they would be community centres for ennobling uses leisure, which to-day hangs heavy on the hands of thousands of our citizens both employed hand unemployed. have to look far for evidence of how normal men and of women hunger for recreational opportunities. Mrs. Bruce and I have been pleased to extend our patronage to the Central Ontario Región the Dominion Drama Festival, whose playoffs take place at Hart House in the near future. One of the competing plays and I asked that it should be performed on the night we will be present is being produced by a group o some forty unemployed who are known as the "Miracle Players." There are many other instances to illustrate how eagerly people welcome an opportunity to make constructive use of their leisure.

Town Plan for Health "Time restrains me from expounding my ideas in detail, and there is no need that I should do see here men who have be have been giving thought to these thin to these things and we have evidence from time to time that our municipal government has given much consideration to city planning. The planning I have in mind is similar to that to which the Prince of Wales has given leadership. In an address of January 27th last his Royal Highness said: 'We must not he content until we have we have good clubs and everywhere so equipped that those who need them can find opportunities for friendship, occupation, and recreation, where the day can he spent with advantage after working hours. Let self-help go hand in hand with mutual service. Let the state do its utmost by political and economic devices, but there is no remedy which will ever replace, or make obsolete, the way of fellowship."

"We are celebrating our city's centenary. Would it not be a splendid thing to commemorate this, our hundredth civic year, by the creation of a large and noble plan conceived in a spirit of fellowship? A plan that would recognize the inalienable right of every man and woman and child to decent and dignified and healthful environment.

"Gentlemen, I give you the health of the city of Toronto: Toronto today, of which of which we are proud: Toronto of to-morrow, of which our children may be prouder still; and Toronto of the centuries to come. whose citizens, I hope, will have in their hearts a feeling of gratitude because we planned nobly, wisely and unselfishly.

Problem of Financing "I have carefully noted the reference made to-day by his honor in connection with what he has termed by his statement, made with all candor, of the inevitable slum conditions of great cities," replied Mayor Stewart. "I hasten to assure all my listeners that Toronto is proud of the fact that she is known as a city of homes and churches. The elected body throughout the years have ever been mindful of the constructive influence of good environment. There have been several projects advanced to the elected body dealing with the housing situation, but I most respectfully submit that there are limits to the taxpayers ability to finance many worthy enterprises.

"While I with my colleagues, would like to see many unsightly premises torn down, it must also be born in mind the difficulties condemning proceeded," "the mayo proceeded. "What may appear unsightly cannot necessarily be condemned officially as insanitary. It is not as easy a procedure as some believe for civic authorities to condemn privately-owned properties.

"Some consideration might well be given when financial conditions permit to the wrecking of dilapidated properties to create areas to free our streets from congestion. It would indeed be an ideal condition if we had more community centres in the thickly populated areas. We must also remember it would also be an ideal condition if thousands of our citizens had more of this world's goods with which to pay their taxes. Toronto does not encourage nor approve of dilapidated homes being used as adjuncts to factories whereby the whole family are employed in competition with properly regulated and organized labor."

The mayor said if the lieutenant-governor will consent, he will present a motion to city council asking for the appointment of a committee to confer on the housing sing situation, to be headed by the lieutenant-governor.

Conditions Improving "We rejoice in the fact that evidence is daily increasing of improving conditions and we march confidently and hopefully onward to normal prosperity." continued the mayor. "Toronto, unlike places of olden days, has not and will not build walls of stone or selfish restriction about the city. Instead, Toronto has substantially with other municipalities, contributed to the building of avenues of communication and to the institutions for the protection s and betterment of mankind. Instead o of b of building building Toronto depends upon its foundations. Torontonians for a century have builded upon safe, sure and lasting foundations of belief and faith in Almighty God, and ever have and ever will remain loyal to his majesty the King'

#273: Garry Hoy was a lawyer in the Toronto-Dominion Centre in 1993. he was demonstrating to a bunch of students how strong the glass was. so he decided it was a good idea to throw his full body weight against the pane. the whole frame fell out and Garry dropped 24 storeys. the window pane was absolutely fine.

that's called autodefenestration :)

“Flag Draped Canada”

These past few weeks have been difficult for Canada and what it means to be Canadian. That discomfort is nothing compared to the legacy of trauma settlers and successive Canadian governments have inflicted upon the Indigenous Peoples of the land now called Canada. Canada Day feels different this year—and it should. At last count, 1,148 unmarked graves (182 announced yesterday in Cranbrook, B.C.)…

London, Ont., Aug: 30. - Edward Benny Martin, aged 22, pleaded guilty in city Police Court today to the armed robbery of the main branch of the Bank of Montreal here on June 15, 1929, and was remanded a week for sentence by Magistrate T. W. Scandrett, K.C. Martin did not get much for his trouble, as he got away with only a bundle of cancelled bills. A few days later, he was captured in Detroit when he tried to rob a bank and was sentenced to serve from five to twenty years. Yesterday he was released for good behaviour and deported to Canada, his mother being a resident of this city. Detective Earl Knight of the local force arrested him at the border and brought him back here for trial.

Parr, in which it was alleged 5,000 unstamped American cigarets were being transported to Canadian dealers. was arraigned in city Police Court today and he was again remanded. Parr was taken to Orangeville on a fraud charge, and the police are endeavoring to have him brought back here to stand trial with Spofford.
