How could you! Think of the sights cut off! Think of our reputation! Think of the children! Think of the adults! Think, think, think! \u201cCalm down,\u201d said Pushing.*The land belongs to the city but it is in Montreal.Rubbing his hands with glee, he continued, \u201cWe get the what?\u201d Everyone agreed that it was brilliant.A slight intermission followed while the aldermen recovered from their glee.At the conclusion of the interlude, Pushing again took the floor.\u201cThere are three clods,\u201d said he, \u201cholding up our plans for a boulevard.They refuse to sell their proper- * ties at the price we wish to pay.We're going to take the land anyway.Let's expropriate.\u201cAnd the beauty of it is,\u201d murmured another alderman, \u201cthe whole thing is legal.\u201d The meeting must have taken five minutes.It was almost time to adjourn behind closed doors where secrecy could prevail.In rapid succession council approved trivial items involving an expenditure of more than $100,- 000.The mayor suggested the meeting adjourn to .\u201cWhen?\u201d \u201cLet's not name a time,\u201d suggested an alderman.\u201cLet\u2019s keep everybody guessing.\u201d \u201cCapital.Meeting adjourned.ER Next week's weather Excavation proceedings started Wednesday on above Sherbrooke \u2014 the

Municipal Court appeared a 24 year old resident of N.D.G.charged with stealing over $100.00 of groceries and cash from a Westmount merchant, Judge Rose heard the young man tell of his wife and family, of one child in hospital] and of eviction from his $25.00 a month apartment for non-payment of rent.\u201cThe court realizes that extenuating circumstances might have entered into this case,\u201d said Judge Rose, \u201cbut you must recognize that your act was no solution to your problem.Honesty is not the best policy, but the only policy in your dealings with others.\u201d ¢ A week was allowed for restitution of the amount stolen and the young man was released.ASE FOR RESULTS OF WEST- MOUNT JUNIOR, MOUNT SENIOR AND ST.LEOS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PLEASE SEE PAGE 5.cos EES WEST- : step in the

complete renovation would prove more economical.Time To Play - - - There is a time for everything, and when it comes to playtime, check our new feature \"As you like it'' by Laurent Price, a former
