ALONG THE MAIN DRAG
By The Pedestrian
Members of the town council en-
joyed a delightful surprise on Mon-
day evening when a deputation
came •foiward to of-fer a present
to the' community-with no strings
attached,
Oeorge Tervit and W. B. McCool,
representing the since-defunct
Horse Show, stated that a balance
of between $1,020 and $1,040 re-
mained ,on hand from horse show
days: A meeting of those interested
had been held and it had been de-
cided to offer' the money to the
town e fter the purpose of erecting
a traffiC 'Signal at the intersection
of .Vietoria, and Josephine Streets.
An estimate of the cost of two
2-Way "signals 'had, been secured
anda it, appeared that the horse
show ffin'cls b'ould come very- close
to covering the needed outlay for
such a set of signals,
The offer of the former horse-
men was accepted with the coun-
cil's thanks on motion of Council,
fors Hamilton and Burgman. The
streets committee was instructed
to seek the permission of the De-
partment of Highways to proceed
with erection of the traffic lights.
