Ald. Mackey said the opening was symbolic. '"'We have spent $2,500,000 on road construction in the city in 1967," he said, "and the Simcoe Street Project was the one which caught the attention of most people and we felt the opening would be a proper symbol of the success- ful completion of the other con- struction in the city." Mr. Crome said he was pleased with the fact that the contract had gone so smoothly.

He said information asked for by the board in May, in con- nection with the city's sewer system, had been provided in June. Mr. Crome was replying to suggestions made at the board's meeting on Thursday that de- lay had been experienced in ob- taining information from the engineering department. Board member, Richard Don- ald, had asked if delay men- tioned by director, William Mc- 'Adams, had hindered the work of the board in preparing the regional plan. Mr. Crome said that the sen- jor planner, Mr. Madden, had called at the council offices not because he had to but because the type of information re- quired could be obtained by looking at a plan and discuss- ing it, and it was not a simple matter of writing a letter.
