Original Toronto Star caption: Mayor David Crombie is shown atop City Hall with what he calls boxes in the background. In a tour of downtown with Star writer Michael Best (story page A7), Crombie explains that he isn't foe of high-rise development as such, but it must be done with style and shape and variety, and without block after block of simular buildings. In survey for The Star, 80 per cent said they would restrict in some way Metro's hectic growth.
