Forsiall, Robison & Luqueer, con- sulting engineers, of New York, to engage them to make a complete re- i port with reference to the gas plant. *% The cost of this report is not to ex- ' $2,500, including all fees and ex- opposed the lo- hnieal school in in one corner north of the city limits. .

Crawford agreed that a site on Centre Street near the present Cenire | Public School would be very. desirable, Finally it was decided to adjourn the meeting to meet again at the call of the Mayor and an endeavour would be made to have the Board of Education Reston Report on Subw, The Board of Works submitted the following report on the subway: "We have made two efforts to meet the officials of the Canadian Na- tional Railway and the Oshawa Rail- way, and went to Toronto twice for a conference with them, On neither occasion however, was it possible to get a full complement of the railway officials, On Saturday, the 29th inst, we had a conference with Mr, Irving, Chief Engineer of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, but as it was not a full meeting, nothing definte could be done. "We have studied the report of the Dominion Railway Board and would like to make clear our conception of one very important item, viz.--"The cost of the extra two feet of width in the proposed subway, and the ex- tra three feet of depth." In the find- ings of the Board, the cost of these two items is placed at the sum of $11,000, We submit, and Mr. Irving agrees, that this sum is not to be taken as the actual extra cost, but that the extra cost will be determined by the tenders for the work, and that whatever the extra costs are, (we believe they will be materially greater than $11,000), that the rail- ways will pay the whole of the extra cost so determined, thereby material ly reducing the city's share from the figure previously reported. "We would suggest that tinuing negotiations re the 8 in con- closing that consideration be given to the open- ing of Third Avenue at the same time."

Hundreds of citizens were to be seen ering in the New Year in a style be- fitting such an occasion. Much ef- fort was expended in the blowing of horns and twirling of miniature rachets, Despite the absence of snow the New Year came into being with much celebration on the part of many citizens, although generally the presence of the white mantle over the earth adds greatly to the effect of a typical New Yeur's Day. Watchnight Services Watchnight services were conduct- ed at St, Andrew's United Church when the Young People's Union of all United and Baptist churches in the city met in a body to solemnly watch the old year out and the new year in. Another service was held at Christ chureh when Rev. R. B. Patterson, rector, conducted prayers and devotions until a few minutes pust the midnight hour. Owing to the illness of Rev. Captain 8S. C. Jar- rett, rector of Holy Trinity lican Church, watchnight servic whieh were to be held at that church, were cancelled. » { Many Dances Early in the evening automobiles | with their passengers passed up and down the streets on their way to pri- !

One Day Gone Already one day has passed of the New Year. 365 days in 1929, the future time when many successful ventures may be brought to a happy close. There is however ome detail which will probably be missed during the present year. Nineteen hundred and twenty-nine is mot a leap-year. As the old year drew to a close, there also passed into history the fact that the ladies no longer were legitimately able to make the proposals. It is now the gentlemen's turn again. good wishes there is difliculty to face.
