was argued that in many cases such yards were an eyesore to the community how ever members felt this typo of business was an asset to a com munity provided yardi were kept in orderly fashion council endorsed a resolution ftponsored by deputy reeve c l s palmer nelson anil reeve h allen burlington asking that members of the county road com mittee and mr palmer make an appointment with the minister

the resolution mr palmer stated this piece of road is in need of repair and that it is ako ythe most dang erous rail crossing in the county he wld there was an upwards of 15 000 people in the area using this road and there woso steep ap proach both sides of the railway crossing a number of busses used the road dolly including cchool busses taking students to glcnwood school he felt the need of the subway wai great as 75 public school students crossed the tracks daily as well continuing he felt it would be less costly to hove a subway con structed than it would be to fill in the approach and install man uallyoperated gates he felt that if the province would take the section of road over to extend highwoy 25 they would be in a better position to bae permission granted for construction of
