H. Paxman and H. R. Sharp regarding assistance to the Kiltie Band. The notion carried. The grant of $60.00 was passed by the Council to the Spring Shaw, A petition was presented from the citizens on Isalac street, soliciting the consideration of means of iniproving.the roadway on that street. The road is a public one, differing in that paritcular from most streets in the town, in that it forms a section of a train highway being an extension of the Bayfield road and being the principal outlet for traf- fic from the south westerly part of St. John's ward and its condition is there- fore a matter of interest to citizens and others who do not reside on it but who use it as a highway for traffic, No at- tempt at permanent improvement of this street has been made for many years and its condition has reen insuf- ferably bad. Property owners on the i street would therefore welcome a plan by -which it may be improved and beg that the Council will take steps towards that end. W. Brydone J, T.
