Laid Over Simcoe St, North, from Alexandra Street to a short distance north of the Alexandra Park entrance, and Emma Street, are to he paved with asphaltic concrete. Weather « permitting the work will be done this fall. Whether or not Front and Prospect streets will be paved, this year, as decided by re- folution at a former meeting of the *Thuneil, will not be settled until the next meeting of the Town Fathers. | A construction hy-law covering the paving of these four streets was be- fore the Town Council at its special meeting on Thursday night. It prov- ed a real hone of contention. Follow- ing an hour's discussion a motion to adjourn was almost carried while the whole question was still "up in the air." Fortunately, however, wiser counsel prevailed, the reference to Prospect and Front Streets was struck out, and the by-law referring to Sim- coe and Emma Streets was passed, The resolution passed at a former meeting called for concrete pavement on Prospect and Front Streets, It was unofficially reported at Thursday night's meeting that the parties con- cerned with the paving of Front and Prospect Streets were negotiating with a view to reaching an amicable settle- ment as to the pavement of these roads, and that asphaltic concrete might be wanted, By next meeting it is hoped there will be a definite pro- position before Council, and, if there is, indications at Thursday night's meeting were that there would be no difficulty in the by-law passing. There was much objection to the Simcoe Street pavement, too, -- The work to be done there is to be paid for by a grant of $2,600 made by the County Council, because part of the road. to be improved abutts on farm land. Mayor Stacey wanted this grant to go into the general fund and that | the work be done on the'local improve: ment system. Representatives on the County Council pointed out that this was contrary to law, and Deputy Reeve | Beware!

WHY IS BUILDING PERMIT REFUSED? W. J. Holland Makes Demand on Council--Letter Goes to Solicitor At a former meeting of the Town Council a request was received from W. J. Holland for permission to erect a store on the north west corner of King street and Ritson Road. This raquest was not granted, At the meeting on Thursday evening a let- ter was received by the Council from Mr. Holland threatening that he would hold the town libale for any loss he might sustain through the permit not heing granted, as he had bought the property some time ago with a view to erecting a store ul- timately. Furthermore, 'he asked on what legal grounds the Town Council was withholding the permit, Unless an explanation was sent to him forth- with he threatened to proceed with his building operations. Councillor Moffat moved that the matter be referred to the Town So- LIKELY USE MONEY OF HOUSING COM. Necessary By-law is Passed by Town Council for Street Paving Considerable discussion was arous- ed at the meeting of the council on Thursday evening when the report of the Town Engineer was presented, It dealt with the paving of Gliddon Avenue, Clark Street, Huron Crescent and Tyler Crescent. Fin- ally on the motion of Deputy Reeye F. L. Mason the motion that it be adopted was carried. Councillor Moffat stated that he understood that the money to be used for this paving was Housing Commission money. He asserted that if the commission cleared itself of its indebtedness to the Town its surplus would not he so large. Councillor Trick assured Council- Jor Moffat that the commission had made arrangements with the Town to turn over whatever sum was owing. Councillor Moffat wanted to know if there was any doubt as to the advisability of proceeding with the work at this time. Councillor Trick said that it would be perfectly safe to go ahead with it, : Councillor Preston said that in view of the fact that Councillor Trick had been quoted in The Reformer as saying that the Housing Commission should assume this responsibility it was a poor way of doing business. Mr. Trick explained the work would be done on the local im- provement basis and if the Housing Commission paid a share it would he all right. The matter ended there when the motion was carried. licitor. Deputy Reeve F. L. Mason moved an amendment that the per- mit he granted, Councillor Preston seconded the amendment. Council- | lor Trick thought that the motion! was in order but stated that in | view of the fact that at the previous | meeting of the council an adverse decision was given in regard to the | granting of the permit that the | Mason said that if the money was not spent this year it would not be secur- ed again. Reeve Morris and Dep. Reeves Mason and Hill had fought for hours before Council to get the grant, | and Council should use the money. | This view finally prevailed. A two-thirds vote is necessary to! pass a construction by-law. When the: document was read, covering as it did | 12 months the people of this dis-|eb- the four streets, it was defeated, there being only nine instead of eleven in| favor. A resolution to strike out re- ference to Prospect and Front Streets was then defeated. In view of the fact that Emma Street is already dug out, and that the $2,600 county grant would be lost, another appeal was made to the opposing members to change their stand. This was done, and when the resolution to strike out reference to Prospect and Front Sts. was again put to the meeting it car- ried. The by-law was then passed. wThe clerk was instructed to bring in a new' bylaw at the next meeting covering Prospect and Front Streets. Other Business A request from the Bell Telephone Company for permission to erect poles on Yonge Street was referred to the Town Property Committee. A request from the Monetary Times for an advertisement was referred to the License Committee. John Carrol requested a settlement of an account. The Board of Works will attend to this. A communication from the Deputy amendment was not in order. De-| | puty Reeve Hill thought that the! matter should not he referred to the | town solicitor but that the council | should deal with the matter. Deputy | Reeve Mason characterized the mo- | tion as a subterfuge. "If we hold | up this man's building operations then we are liable. At the end of triet will be #lad that a store bas | been opened there," he said. | Councillor Moffat said, '"The coun- | cil. has passed its opinion. All it wants to know is whether it is legal | or not. The motion as it stands is in order." Put to a vote the amend- ment was lost and the motion ask- ing that the matter be referred to the solictor was carried. Last year forty million dollars were spent on good roads in this coun- try.
