Nobody had petitior ied for the com-| pletiop. of the nue, and he was! sure that Kingst« 200 men over- | seas would not vote for doing paving | here while they were making sacri- fices over there. Nine-tenths of the; people never used the centre of the | streets, and many of the one-tenth | who did had automobiles, and those | who used them had time 'o pick out the good roads or take more time and go slower over the bad ones. In any case why pick out University avenue? If anyone could show him that University avenue was worse than Clergy street between Earl and Johnson street he would not oppose Ald. Couper's resolution, Ald. Litton took the same view as Nickle. Labor could not be se cured at a low enough figure to run the road machinery. Furthermore he thought that the city should leave all labor possible to the munition factory and the shipbuilding eom- pany. Ald AVE] ns i, Wright. did not think that would be any conserving of labor by not doing some paving this ------ A AA Achievement Ex-President Roosevelt was awkward and stupid as a boy until he suddenly dis- covered that he could not see | as much as other boys.

The people hej was sure would put up with the rough avenue for another year in view of present conditions. Ald.+O'- Connor stated that the engineering| | department had done a grea: deal fo | streets this year in the way People perhaps did not but much had been done] the of repairs realize it, at this date. Ald. Wright failed to see what use the no paving was to be done. Its mem- bers might as well resign and leave | the chairman to attend to whatever| little was required to be done Ald. O'Connor consoled Ald.| Wright with the announcement that | if the other members resigned, the | chairman would also step out, and| all would keep time in marching out | to a long vacation. Mayor Hughes gave it as his opin- | ion that he did not think the city en-| gineer could get the men required to | do the work on University avenue. He advised consulting with the en gineer before passing a resolution in structing him to go on with the work He would like to see the] pavement done, but not at too high a cost. Ald. Couper intimated - that he would withdraw his resolution and have the matter fully considered at the next meeting of the Board of Works. | The opinion of Ald. Smith was that |, 4 grandson the engineer could get the neces: sary men if he went out after them, at least to put down the concrete on the street, Ald. Polson advocated taking a vote of the Council so that the Board of Works might see how the alder- men stood on the matter. However he would not support the paving of the street if the cost was much high- er than last year. The City Clerk pointed out that the University avenue paving by-law had been passed last year, and part of the work done. The motion pass- ed by Council on April 10th could not really stop the paving. Of course the engineer was wise in taking heed of the Council's motion to do no paving this year. Ald. Corbett's view was that the Couneil should first learn if the nédcessary labor could be secured and also the cost. Ald, O'Connor pointed out that Council and not the Board of Works had stopped the paving of University avenue and it was up to Courtil to change its order if it wanted the avenue completed. It was finally decided that the Board of Works should report upon the matter at the next meeting of Council, BURIED ON VIMY RIDGE. Son of Mrs. Peter Embury, Verona, Rests on Sacred Ground.
