Loving her taming her took all the daring of his reckless soul! plan involving expansion should po to the committee candidly pointed Con.

Goodwin said Mr. Askwith had a perfect right to make the appointment under the bylaws. Commissioner Askwith declared "Mr. Cooney is not only a journeyman plumber but a master plumber," adding that Selective Service had only one man, in Saskatchewan, on its list. In this case, "if we had to see the union, we would have to consult several unions." A letter was read from C.

Maxwell Taylor, building inspector, in which the work was outlined and saying that the number of buildjng permits and plumbing inspection calls had increased in the last three years 1,200 permits were issued this year, although number for an average jear was only 677. "We are not fighting for Local 71 but for every plumber in the city." declared Mr. Dewart, pointing out that 125 applications had been filed for a previous appointment "There is not much we can do." concluded Mayor Lewis in pointing out that the appointment had been approved by City Council after Mr. Askwith had properly made the recommendation under the bylaws. "No employer in Ottawa will go to Selective Service," Mr.

Dewart asserted. Others in the deputation were B. Fagan and A. Riopelle. Mayor.

Lewis presented the bylaw amendment, drawn up by City Solicitor G. C. Medcalf, KC, to regulate the use of portable saws on city streets. His Worship pointing out he had seen an open saw in use, to the danger of traf In the heart of the thriving community of Eastview on the Montreal Road new lights will shine when the power is turned into the marquee lights of the new Eastview theater. The lights will flash the new name on the entertainment horizon and flash into the night the name of the community for which sents Eastview.

The management of the Eastview Amusements Limited have brought a fine new theater to the community a theater which Eastview can point with pride. The modest exterior of the building almost belies the beauty and excellence of the interior. As you enter the first lobby walls finished with a new processed veneer, panelled with chrome stripping, produces a rich and entirely new effect. Overhead, a new system of lighting gives brilliance and sparkle to the bright new interior. The Inner lobby presents a vitrolite fireplace in black and yellow with full length mirrors.

Walls and ceilings are finished In pastel shades blended together to create a soft and rich atmosphere. Entrances from both ends of the inner lobby take you into the main auditorium with its ceilings and walls finished in soft pastel shades in a blend of colors treated with indirect lighting which creates a beautiful soft and comfortable atmosphere. The walls of the main auditorium with 3 large panels on either side covered with brilliant red folding draperies adds richness. The tiered ceiling and interior color scheming is a tribute to the skill and planning of Mr. Gordon Fairbairn, well known local artist.

Back of the main auditorium are the elevated loges to complete a total seating capacity for more than 600 patrons. The entire floor sloped to a greater degree, assures perfect visibility from all seats in the main auditorium and loges. New deluxe "Airflow" spring cushioned seats assure the ultimate in comfort. Thick red carpets along the aisles eliminates any-disturbing noises during the performance. The shining new RCA Photophone Sound System with Di-Phonlc speakers assures the finest in sound reproduction.

Greater light to the screen is created through new features embodied in the Arc lamps. With its tastefully decorated interior, soft indirect lighting and beautifully finished rest rooms the Eastview is Indeed a complete and fine theater. Truly an outstanding addition for residents of the district to enjoy the finest in motion picture entertainment at moderate prices. I do not believe the committee would ever pass it." Says No Request Made Mr. Radcliff also declared that, at no time, had a request been made to the city to supply services, but asked how any housing development could go ahead without water.

Con. Goodwin did not deny he hed made the statement and added, "this planning committee is et up to make this a beautiful Capital Con. FirJey McRae interrupted a somewhat heated verbal exchange to say that he was "all lor private enterprise" but he was also a member of the Capital Planning Committee. Mr. Radcliff told the board that a water supply had been found within 5.000 feet of the Manor Park sub-division where it was proposed to erect 350 houses.

Con. Goodwin interrupted to say. "You had said you were not asking for anything because S' t(? I Zv -V vsJ'V lit Goriousr TCrYACOlO? starring you had arranged for services."

Mr. Radcliff said that "at no time did we go to a planning commission had to find out where the water services are. then go to the commission." 2Iayor Lewis replied. "We do not wish to bypass the planning commission." Con. Goodwin pointed out that the commission' planned to regulate long-term expansion, 10.15 and 20 years from now.

Mr. Radcliff repeated that he was not asking for water from the city, to which Mayor Lewis replied. "Indirectly you are." It had been brought out in the discussion that the Gloucester project might use water from East-view which originally come from Ottawa. Con. E.

A. Bourque suggested to the deputation that the Gloucester development did not want to start under any stigma and Mr. Radcliff answered in the affirmative. Con. Goodwin said he was a member of the planning committee and was "interested In the broad subject, not in any one project." He wanted to see housing but did not want to set a precedent for all other developments.

'T will oppose any project until it is approved by the Greater Ottawa Planning Committee." Mr. Radcliff said he sought ro-operation and had no intention of bypassing anybody. He was not asking the city for anything. There the subject rested as the board turned to other business.
