A. MacDonald and D. A, J. Swanson, and by John Edmundson, The opposition contended that a dan- gerous precedent would be set if the city assumed part of the cost instead of having the property owners pay 100 per cent of the cost of the work, as had been the custom under the provisions of the Local Improvement Act, it was also contended that the lands were not agricultural lands, as claimed, but were sub-divided city property, Heavy Traffic The text of Commissioner Ellis' recommendation, which was approved by the Board, is: "Pursuant to the provisions of sec- tion 8, chapter 225, R.S.0, 1927, I heard this application on the 5th inst, at the council chamber in the city of Oshawa, "The work in question is a con- crete pavement, 18 feed wide.

Proper Discretion, "The vote in council on the by-law was 1240 1. It is claimed that the land is agricultural land, but this was questioned. The by-law provided for the city paying 40 per cent of the entire cost and the property owners the remaining 60 per cent. [I viewed the portion of the street in question and the land to be assessed was un- subdivided, and I think that it will be several years before it is in de- mand for building purposes. "Under all the circumstances T cannot come to the conclusion that the city did not exercise a proper discretion in passing the by-law. [I therefor recommend that the by-law be approved, the board's tariff fee of $15, to be paid by the city and charged to the cost of the work."
