He thinks the next several years will see an increase in suicide, hysteria and depression as people find themselves over- whelmed by rapid changes in every aspect of life. IS IT REALLY THAT GLOOMY?

Last fall, members had made a purchase offer for the property from owner John Tzavaras after the restaurant had been gutted by fire. They had agreed to expropriate the land-if the offer was not ac- cepted. However, council later altered the decision and when the offer was turned down, approved a permit for rebuilding, In December, council ruled that an overhang on the front of the building would not be allowed. This week they decided the overhang could stay as long as the owner signed an agreement that if it proved detrimental•, to , the public safety council could order it removed. At Tuesday's meeting, there was considerable debate about the situation, with Reeve Boyle saying it was a matter of poor communications. He said council's decision to disallow the overhang was never made known to the contractor or Tzavaras and he added that the overhang had apparently been on the plans approved. When the overhang was originally turned down by council, members feared it would cause ice and water to drip on the sidewalk and create problems. This week, few could see any problems, noting that several other Main St. businesses had similar overhangs or signs. By MRS.
