Messrs. Scott recorded their objections to the passing of both these by-laws for three reasons.

"(3) That so far as a subdivision was coneerned, fhe proposed street was not in the most desirable posi- tion. The laying of the trunk sewer through the Reeson farm had given strength to this objection as it ap- peared unlikely Council would ap- prove of extending Hayes Street, Simcoe Heights plan, which would run parallel to the trunk sewer and only about 100 feet from it, "In their letter to Council Scotts also made the, made the following suggestion: --That two trunk sewers, one on Rosedale Avenue and toe other from Connaught Street east, would give better serviee tham the proposed sewer north to Hillerow because the connection to the main sewer would be more direct and have aegreater fall, and Rosedale Avenue sewer could serve othef properties.
