CITY IMPROVEMENTS
"One of the city councillors—Mr. Forsyth—is at last sufficiently alive to the necessity of making long-delayed improvements to the 'lung space' in Courtenayplace," writes "Looker-on" to The Poet. "He has tabled a motion in this direction, and it is to be hoped that it will have the effect of removing the procrastinating methods wnich are difficult to understand. Tho present condition of the locality in question is a disgrace to the city For some timo past this thoroughfare—one of tho most frequented in the city—has been disfigured by telephone poles planted in the centre of tho footpath. Tho alterations to the street may have made this necessary, but the "city authorities certainly do not seem in any hurry to remove the objectionable inconvenience. I do hope Councillor Forsyth will have tho backing of Uie council, and that ■ the removal of buildings which are not a credit to tho city will bo put in hand without delay."
