I say surprised, jor it is more usual to get abuse than to receive thanks, and an expression of thanks is deeply appreciated, therefore." He further intimated: that the ~situation would be looked into by Wednesday of this week,; and some action taken in the matter. â€" Councillor Mertens desired to know ‘what was the situation in regard to the C.N.R. subway on Main Street, and was informed by the mayor that In the matter of a petition submitâ€" ted by the C.P.R. for permission to create a rightâ€"oâ€"way over Oak Street, following on some short discussion on the matter, it was considered that the granting of the petitions requirements would be in the best interests, and by a resolution the petition was approvâ€" ed and the rightâ€"ofâ€"way granted. l ym ««2" PF .: * £ 3 \ s Mup â€" w4 .. .A e * ie y &2 s fae t d2P us Reo hoy fhas" & &7 ) bsy sn‘ Au es ts A :”::.3 ""3‘?; B PW â€" m 8 4s fil_ "ue" (oa) EHeF @eligzres Sn Te eprarie e 4e ork in 7 es d C «2t *AieeLoet se t e i es ana o es Also Showing an attractive Line of Good Used Cars.

"If Wesâ€" ton is not recognized as the home town, then why should Weston make recognition. That is my personal view." Though he declared that all honor was dueto the boy for attainâ€" ing such high standing in the realm of skaters. Councillor: Banting supported the claims of Councillor Rowntree, mainâ€" taining that he was a Westonian and the town should recognize him, if.onâ€" ly in a small way, and ‘suggested that the matter be further discussed with a view to arriving at an understandâ€" ing for something to be done at a latâ€" er date.
