Original Toronto Star caption: New mayor in an old sweater. On his first day as mayor-elect of Toronto, David Crombie stays at his home, at ease in denims and a sweater with hole in sleeve. His campaign stressed preservation of neighborhoods as opposed to building of highrises, he says new rules will have to be made for developers. But hasn't decided what the regulations will be.
