I- " ; m t The By-laws Committee informed the s City Council last night that the chief 9 traffic and meter inspector reported 8 that on November 18th, 1907, the I Bealey and Fitzgerald ajvenue thore oughfares were divided and the Council I resolved that the roadway between the i- trees was a footway. On December b 6th, 1919, tbo matter was further coni sidered and the By-laws Committee det cided that the thoroughfares in ques- >. tion were two streets tor the purpose s of the rule of the road. The Commit- - toe recommended that that decision be , confirmod and 'that an advertisement t to that effect be inserted in the news- - papers. Action was authorised accoru- ■ ingly. ■f Or, C. P. Agar asked if the represen- , tatives of the Council at the Conferi> ence with the Tramway Beard were adb hering to the idea that the new double track in Bealey avenue should be laid along the north side of the avenue. Cr. W. H. Winsor said the repfesenr tatives of the Tramway Board and Cr. s J. W. Beanland favoured the idea of placing a line along the south side of e ' the well as the north. He 0 hoped the Council would object to that. f Cr.
