The matter of building a road from Wilson Avenue to Hollinger Lane along Ma‘itagami Boulevard, right on the bank of the Mattagami River, was shelved for another week at vesterday‘s weekly council meeting. The town enâ€" gineer was instructed to again survey the territory and to give an estimate of the cost of a twentyâ€"foot road. Estimates of the cost of a thirtyâ€"foot road along the one block to connect Wilson Avenue with the new bridge were given to members of the council yesterday afternoon. It was explained that to build a thirtyâ€"foot road it was necessary to build a concrete retaining wall along the bank of the river and the exvense of the retaining wall was considered to be approximately $14,508. In adition gravelling, railing, etc., were estimated to eat un another $492 to brâ€" ing the total cost of the road to $15,000. In addition it was estimated that the eost of the sidewalk asked for by a delâ€" egation two weeks ago would cost anâ€" other four hundred dollars. Council was shown vlans drawn by tre engineering devartment and they suggested to the town engineer, Mr. J. D. McLean, that twentyâ€"foot road be constructed instead of the thirtyâ€"foot road. The engineer figured that half of the retaining wahll could be eliminâ€" ated if a twentyâ€"foot road, was built. Council then went further and asked if the corner nroperty on Wilson Aveâ€" nue could be purchased and the road built on an angle. The engineer told the council that if this was done it would eliminate the retaining wall alâ€" together and would cut the costs conâ€" siderably. » UE L ks Will Trvy and Build Narrower Road and Thereby Reduce Cost Considerably.

Out on the Hollinger park, the old vets were vying with the young soldiers of today in foot drill and among this large number were the members who put duty before anyâ€" thing else. »It is expected that the Legion meeting nights will be changed so that this postponement will not ocâ€" cur again. Another interesting fact of the occasion was that it set a record for the Legion hall, this being the first meeting of the branch to be cancelled owing to having no quorum.
