"It‘s been _ St. John‘s for over 30 years and the police in the past never had any trouble," he stated. "We won‘t get used to St. John‘s Road being changed," continued the speaker. "We hope you reconsider." Clerk G. H. Clarkson said there had never been any petiâ€" tion presented to Council from the people on the west end of St. John‘s Road only from those on the east.
