Mr. Essa submitted a petition askâ€" ing the Council to pass a byâ€"law limiting the parking of cars on Third Avenue, between Cedar and Balsam Streets, to twenty minute§s. It was explained that automobiles were parked regularly on this â€" business block by the solid hour, and that this was an interference with business generally.. Often there were so many automohbiles parked along the block that it was difficult to get access to the stores there.. The petition for a twentyâ€"minute limit for parking had been signed byâ€"all but three of the stores on .both sides of the street. Mr. Essa said, ten of the thirteen conâ€" + cerned signing. The three not signâ€" ing were Messrs A. Gagne, J. Dalton and N. Blahey. Councillor Wallingâ€" ford referred to the fact that this parking question was to be discussed at the next meeting of the Board of _Trade and it might be well to see what the general opinion of the busiâ€" ness men of the town was in the matâ€" ter. Councillor Longmore said, the question was one that concerned the business men and their opinion should prevail. In this case they made,a definite request and he thought it should be granted. Eventually a reâ€" solution was passed to amend the * Town Byâ€"law in regard to parking making it illegal for a car to be parked on Third Avenue between Cedar and Balsam Street, for longer than twenty minutes. Mr. R. Banino asked for permission to construct a cement sidewalk on First Avenue in front of his property there. He was ready to defray the whole cost of the work, and the Counâ€" cil granted his request, the Town Enâ€" gineer to give Mr. Banino the necesâ€" sary levels, etc., and to see that tlie “K}vork is satisfactory. Mr. Banino 59 ‘asked for sewer connection for his‘ property, and this request was also granted on the fair terms sugâ€" gested by Mr.: Banino. The town is to'pav for the intersections and Mr. ~ Banino will pay the rest of the cost. There were a number of complaints â€" to Council in regard to taxes. The â€" applicants were asked to write their basis of complaint, on, the back of their tax notice and hand to the Town Clerk.

No Car to Stand Longer Than 20 Minutes on Third Ave. Between Cedar and Balsam Street. Equipment Seâ€" cured for Handling Traffic at Corner of Pine and Third. Other Town Council Business. On account‘of the death of Mr. D. W. O‘Sullivan, Town Solicitor, the regular meeting of the Town Council was deferred from Monday afternoon to afternoon of this week. The Mayor, Dr. J. A. MeJnnis, occuâ€" rs J. H; M. Walâ€" Morriâ€" Chief Greer asked Council to cancel the taxi license for a man,conviected and fined for selling liquor in his car and convicted and sent to jail for asâ€" sisting immorality. Some of the Council took the stand that the taxi driver having served his term had paid for any wrong done and should be left alone until he did something else: wrong. The Chief thought he had done enough to warrant the loss of the license. No action was taken by Chief Greer brought to the attenâ€" tion of Counil the employment of young white girls in Chinese restauâ€" rants at late hours. He thought it a bad thing to have young girls in these restaurants until one and two o‘clock at night. The effect was certainly not good. He had talked to some of the Chinamen about the matter but though they promised to let the girls will all be dealt with at a meeting of Council to be called at an early date. The Town Engineer, Mr. C. R. Murâ€" dock, called the attention of Council to the case of two men who had bult houses on Columbus Avenue without securing the necessary permit. «When they found it was necessary to have permits for building they had already used wodden shingles as roofing material. _ Wooden shingles are not permitted under the byâ€"law. Mr. Murdock said that both men had told him they had been told by Mr. Proctor that a permit was not necesâ€" sary. â€" He did not think they had acted with other than the best intenâ€" tions, but they had been misinformed. To force them to tear off the shingles, or to fine them for breach of a law that they did not know looked like a hardship, but the byâ€"law was quite explicit and it might set a bad preceâ€" dent to let the matter go. . Councillor Wallineford said there was an asbesâ€" tos roofing material that could be put on the shingles to make them fireâ€" proof, and he thought that if this material was as represented, its use should be insisted upon in these cases. After some discussion the matter was referred to the Fire Chief and the Town Engineer to deal with in the fairest way possible. The Town Engineer mentioned the water main on Toke Street which froze up last winter. He suggested a 2â€"inch line to the lake to be kept running, so as to avoid the danger of the main freezing again. The cost of this would , be $400.00. Council thought the matter could be more ecoâ€" nomically dealt with by one of the users letting a tap run, and the matâ€" ter was let drop at that, although the Engineer pointed out that this might be an inconvient way as the water services concerned had not the advanâ€" tage of sewers. The. Chief of Police and the Town Engineer have been planning for methods that would give better handâ€" ling for the traffic, especially at the corner of Pine and Third. A ‘*Stop and (Go"‘ sign is to be installed at the the direction of traffic and the pavement is to be marked in city style for the information of the pubâ€" lic. The Engineer was authorized to have the pavement painting done and the ‘*Stop and Go"" sign was also authorized. ‘*‘This will be a big adâ€" vantage in handling the traffic.‘‘ said Chief Greer. An amendment was made to the byâ€" law extending the date for the paying of the first instalment of taxes from Sept. 15th to Sept. 22nd. The auction sales of jewelry at Stock Bros.store opposite the post office afternoons and evenings have drawn large attendances and much intérest. Mr, S. H.

The matter was referred to the Fire Light Committee to report. Refund of jitney license for the unâ€" expired period was granted in the case of a taxi driver retiring from business here. Refunds of water rates were authâ€" orized on certain premises unoceuâ€" pied during all or part of the quarter. The contract for construction of sanitary sewers and waterworks exâ€" tensions was granted to Mr. Leo. Mascioli, his tender being the lowest. The following are the subjects , to be taken up..
