He was representing other own- ers whose properties abut the path of the proposed sidewalk. "The estimated cost of $6000 for 700 feet of 'sidewalk seems an unnecessary expense for the few children using it, said Mr. Rundle. He said that since Colborne street had been put through, the children going to Harmony. North School, for whom the walk was being constructed, were no long- er using the sidewalk.
