Reeve Kylie said ‘it was impossible for the council to do imposzibilitles. He favored purchasingxhca property as a park site, and felt the town could not at present stand the exâ€" pense of fitting up the house as had been suggested. The committee select- ed from the council to go into the matter of cleaning- up the, property would get busy at once, and an cfiort made to get the sermces of a landâ€" scape‘ gardcn‘er- from Toronto to prop- erly lay out the grounds. The council had been‘so busy dur’ ing the season that the property had been neglected. It would be an ex- pensive iteg to fit up the building. He would,'however, like to see the underbrush and refuse cleaned away. Ald. Warren said he had favored buying the property, but did not figâ€" ure so much on the house as he did on the grounds. Depâ€"Reete McWatters pointed out that it would cost $6000 or $7000 to properly fit up the house. Let‘s get the McDonnell residence fixed up, said the Mayor as a meet- ing place for our citizens. Certain gentlemen wished to secure it for a pfivate committee room. He was up- posed to the ~idea. The building should be for the town and {or every citizen, regardless of creed or color.

His Worsh~ 3ip had been talking to the Chairman ‘of the Property Committee of the Civic Improvement Assodation, and it was suggested that that body be given the privilege of .fixing the propâ€" erty up, while the town might attend to the house. His Worship referred. to the Decent attack on the police and said he did not know why the sympâ€" athy of the people was against con- stituted authority.

There seemed to be a. general feeling that the council had gone its limit in spending. Personally he would also like to see Cambridge-st. north pav- ed if the council dared. Dr. Jefiers said he was only one who was interested indirectly in the matter. The condition of the pa- tients was prejudiced - by being brought over this street in an ambuâ€" lance. This was especiaflw the case with railroad men who enacted un- toId agony by the shaking up sub- jected to.
