were refused permission to use sidewalk sign We were surprised to see any thing in the paper about this as we did not ask for permit to place sign on the sidewalk but oily how much permit costs to do so This we should think could have been answered by our Town Clerk without going to council However it is against the law and yet our own policemen coun cillors and pedestrians have walk ed around similar sign for the past three or four months and are doing so at the time of writing without anything having been done about it How could otir sign cause pre cedent Other signs are put out without any permission and no action taken by any of the town officials Who is to blame for such condition Heres for quick change Yours truly COTTY TRIBBLE OldTime Exhibits Cundles July 17 1953 To The Editor

hotel faclt ing the park area and looking east with big iron pump in front of the building The wharf at that time had bc come the worse for wear and cast crn storms and landing was an adventure To me

east and occupants were mostly Barrie folk Not many of the middleaged at that time are still top side but the names have been recalled by Mr Grant and many of the family connections still spend their
