longer CNR divi sion point there was no real use for all the tracks back of lhe Allandale sta tion With the elimination of the tracks and downtown improvements there is no reason why Barrie should not be as beautiful as some of the lake side cities of Europe lllr Bosleys most interesting point of course is eliminliion of railway tracks along the waterfront With the tracks gone the way would be
