Several members of the Haughton Valley Association'were present by invitation. A 'letter was received from the Town Clerk stating that a supply of metal would be made available for the low level footpoth in Ilornsey road. The Chief Postmaster stated in reply *to a request that the Department could not at present erect a pillar bos at the junction of Hornsey road and Dnnedin terrace, but would do po as soon, as the population warranted tlio expense. The alteration to the bus timetable as well as the terminus was then, discussed. The majority of those present expressed themselves against the proposed alterations, much dissatisfaction being felt at the bus running only to John street, this especially inconveniencing the workers, who were the most regular patrons of the bus, It was ultimately decided that a deputation wait on the tramway authorities in an endeavour to .secure through buses for the transport of the workers to and from business. The arranging of the deputation "was left in the control of the president.
