He also said, he now operated the terminal for the C.N. Delivery and C.N. trucks quite regularly loaded and unloaded in the samé area. g . Councillor Ken Jackson told Mr. Lewis he sympathized with him and realized this was "a problem, but added, every time someone has a parking problem it's not possible to change rules already establish- ed by council.

He pointed out to council, the sign was too close to the corner obstructing the view for cars turning from Perry Street to Queen Street when vehicles were parked at that point. Reeve Kenny agreed with Mr. Loscombe and explained his car had been hit while parked at that point by a car turning too sharply. This would have been avoided if the sign had been placed a car length further back.
