Of the 52 residents, 27 had signed as in favor of the change of name, 6 were against it and . the others were nonâ€"committal, There was considerable discussion regardâ€" ing this matter, but the final decision was to file the petition and take no action for the present time. As exâ€" pressed bÂ¥ Mayor F. W. Mertens, the opinion of all counci* members seemâ€" ed to be that it wohld be a serious matter to change the name of a street which ends in a Cemetery, called St. John‘s Cemeteryâ€"onâ€"theâ€" Hill, which was started in the year 1800, and where the first burial was maile in lHO}.

With the council apparently symâ€" pathetic to the scheme, a motion was catried to make application for the huildi’ngs for the purpose named. It Re Fiynn Property Former Councillor E. D.

He pointed out that the Weston Worklngl‘fil's Club of which Â¥he is President, has more membars than can be accomodated in the club house recently acquired on Main Street south, Eighteen members have been _ added _ since candidates _ for Council addressed the club before election. _ "The Flynn property at the corner of Elsmere and Main Street north is to be pulled down, and we would like, if possible, to get this material to make an addition to our elub house. I have a letter here from our member at Queen‘s Park, W. J.

At present, it is 150 per cent., but it was argued that with the new basis of computation on last year‘s tax rate the allowances are lower than prevâ€" iously.
