reasonable distribution of furniture A report in a Toronto paper last night said the Metro politan city slickers didnt come out too well in the deal with their country cousins Metro officials eyed the bare rooms of 67 Adelaide St yester day One official said the rural municipalities just backed the wagon up to the door Furni ture moved to Newmarket in cludes leather couches leather chairs all the furniture in the wardens suite all the furniture and equipment in the threeroom treasurers office much of the furniture in the council cham ber including the wardens offi cial chair and the table where the council clerk records the de cisions of council Metro officials made few com ments The Metropolitan coun cil previously agreed to purch ase the furniture which was left over But one detail is being questioned by the Metro a piano w the rural representatives price at Former members of the county now in the Metropolitan area seem to recall that only was paid for the piano a second hand one Distribution of assets of the old County of York between Metro and the new county make the picture confusing The former t y municipalities which have joined Metropolitan Toronto represent percent of assessment of the old county By this figure Metro would le gally own percent of the but no ratio for the distri bution of assets has yet been set tled When the distribution arrange are made the Metro municipalities also will receive part of the sale price of the buil ding at Adelaide St Tins made strange bargaining during the sale of the building to the Metro area The rural coun tywanted more Metro wanted to pay less yet part of the sale price would go to the Metro area Meanwhile the county has not been able to set its budget be cause of the difficulties in fin uncial settlements As a
