Tourist 'Season Disappointing
D: IL Derwnie, publicity secretary,
reported. that the past season had been
a disappointiug one from the stand-
point of the number of American
visiting this country, owing., to -re-
:
. strictions put on by the United Sta.tes
Government affecting the erosSing of
the-6411er, into Canada. This was
felt particularly In the last two weeks
of July. The number a inquiries be

Mr. Downie said he .Waa disappointed
.
with conditions at the bathieg beath
this summer. Every Sunday a string

, .trance... Mr. Downie said herbed told:
the Town :Council. there was little use

then having its surroundings 'smeared
with unsightly -box ears. He urged,
that the Board take- this matter up
