He stated that the proposals included the paving of Boundary, Balmoral, and Grange Roads, the three principal connecting links between Dominion Road and Mount Eden Road, with an ISft strip of concrete, with bitumen on each side.

Mr. Potter proposed that the following new streets should be paved in bitumen: Calgary Street, Halesowen Avenue, Tennyson Street. Glenalmond Road, Shackleton Road, Sunglen Avenue. Wembley Road, Lambeth Road, "Watling Street, Garry Road, Mount Pleasant Road Extension, eide roads of Mount Eden Road, and the continuation of Sylvan Avenue through Wynyard Road to Porter's Avenue.
