At the conclusion of the hearing on this by-law in the council chambers this morning, Commissioner - J. A. Elis of the Board announced that he would recommend to the Board that the by-law be upheld. Corner Lots Summing up the case, Commission- er Ellis pointed out that there had been considerable difficulty over the establishing of a residential arca on King street east, this being the third sitting of the Railway Board on the 1t first came up in May, 1927, when he city council passed a by-law which was not approved by the board. At that time, said Com- missioner Ellis, he recommended through the Board that the city council exempt from residential re- strictions the four corner lots at Ritson road and King street, stating that if this were done the Board would approve the original by-law. The council did not do this, however, but passed a second by-law allowing certain types of businesses = on the corners. This by-law was anproved in September 1927. A short time ago the restrictions were entirely on the south-west corner, where a gasoline service station now stands Largely Commercial Commissioner Ellis pointed out that Ritson road was largely com- mercial, with stores, factories and other business places on it.

F. Grierson, He pointed out that there were business places on both the north-west and south-west corners and that Ritson road was being built up gradually 'as a commercial street, in the vicinity of this inter- section, The council was unanimous in passing the by-law, believing that it was in the best interests not only of the city at large but of the im- mediate property owners, Opposition A. V. Drew and A. C. Lycett, pro- perty owners on King street cast ol Ritson road, opposed the raising of the residential restrictions. Mr, Drew said that the original by-law should be left as it was, as raising of the restriction would totally spoil the residential value of the street, : Mr, Lyveett, stated that if spots Liere and there on the street were picked out for business purposes the whole value of the properties for residential purposes would be de- pleted. The day was not yet here, said Mr. Lyectt, when King strect east of Ritson road should be a commercial area. In regard to the establishment of a service station on this site, he said that there was al- | ready one across the road and one just east of the city limits amply providing for that section of the city. Service Stations The approval by the Board of this by-law permits the erection of an- other service station at King street and Ritson road. The by-law lifts the restrictions declaring the lots on the south-east and north-east cor- ners to be residential areas, the re- strictions being lifted for 54 feet cast of Ritson road on the south side and 30 feet cast of Ritson road on .the north side of King street, The south-8ast corner lot has al- ready been sold by E.
