REPORT FROM THE GRANGE<br />
CASH CRUNCH:<br />
STAFF CUTS<br />
AT SETTLEMENT<br />
by DRUM Staff<br />
The worsening economy, funding<br />
freezes, and cutbacks have hit<br />
University Settlement Recreation<br />
Centre resulting in the lay-off of<br />
eight full and part time workers<br />
and the cancellation of two other<br />
staff positions. Both union<br />
workers have been affected. The<br />
Board at University Settlement<br />
struggled with the decision at the<br />
March meeting of the Directors<br />
and came to the conclusion that<br />
they could not · continue to add to<br />
a deficit that has accumulated<br />
over the last five years with the<br />
outlook for financial recovery in<br />
the Province so bleak.<br />
The Recreation Department<br />
has suffered the most w'ith the<br />
closure of the towel desk service<br />
resulting in the loss of two full<br />
time and three part time positions.<br />
Other positions cut were a full<br />
time maintenance worker, the<br />
Music School receptionist/ Administrative<br />
Assistant, a full time<br />
Community Development<br />
Worker, the Director of Finance<br />
and Administration and the A<br />
quatics Supervisor.<br />

GETS GO<br />
by Doug Hum<br />
Following a review of capital<br />
projects by the provincial Ministry<br />
of Health, the Princess<br />
Margaret Hospital was given the<br />
approval to proceed at the end of<br />
March. The decision will now<br />
allow the hospital to proceed<br />
with its application for a building<br />
permit from the city of Toronto<br />
to construct a nineteen storey<br />
building which cantilevers over<br />
half of Murray Street. The new<br />
building will be .constructed on<br />
the area's only significant open<br />
space behind the former Ontario<br />
Hydro head office at 610-620 .<br />
University Avenue. The site is<br />
diagonally across the street from<br />
Orde Street School. In addition,<br />
six levels will be added to the<br />
existing nine-level parking garage<br />
at 40 Murray Street to meet<br />
the hospital's parking needs.<br />

"My neighbour - he's just come here from<br />
Salvador." said AI Medeiros of Harbord Street. "He<br />
said it was almost like being back home. The guys next<br />
door to the clinic, above the coffee place - they got<br />
thrown right out of bed. I even found this framed thing<br />
- a certificate - over here on my side ·or the street.<br />
There were bricks and broken glass and<br />
flowerpots all over the place." ·<br />
"It sounded like a whole truck of glass going<br />
over." said Z. Gilbert. Estimated $600,000 damages.<br />
