EXTENSION DENIED Rumors have been persistent a- round the town in the last few days to the effect that the C,P.R, was to build a round house at Bowmanville, The Times in conversation with Mr, Minore, C.P.R. station agent, was in- formed that there is no grounds for these rumors and denied that the project had ever been discussed.
