City Council Upheld In Rejecting Hotel City council's decision to reject a hotel site at 111 Ave. and 142 St.

has been confirmed by the provincial planning advisory board. The appeal against council's rejection of the hotel development being located on the northwest corner of the intersection was taken to the provincial board by Eugene Pechet. Council first rejected the proposed development late last year and reaffirmed its decision last month when the provincial board asked the city to reconsider the matter. In its decision, dated Feb. 8, the board ruled "the city is not limited, by the terms of the act or of the interim development order or by-law, as to what matters it may take into account in termining the classification of the land." W.

Stanley Ross, appearing for the hotel backers, asserted before both city council and the provincial board, that council's decision improper in that the opposition to the hotel by about 500 west end residents was based on objections to a beverage room and against the hotel itself. He said control of the beverage room was under the Alberta Liquor Control Board and the city has no jurisdiction over it. Mr. Ross's submission added Queen Going To Carnival Louise Peets, Miss Edmonton for 1955, leaves Tuesday night for Banff, where she will compete with some 12 other beauties from all over Western Canada da for the title of Queen of the Canadian Rockies at the Banff Winter Carnival. Miss Peets will take part in the carnival activities when it opens Thursday.

All the time she is at the carnival, anonymous judges will be watching the contestants for poise, talent, beauty and the other attributes which go to make up a queen. Sunday, the 1956 queen will be announced and crowned by last year's winner, Dalyce Smith of Whitehorse, Y.T., who went on her victory last year to become Miss Canada. Winner of the contest will receive $1,000 worth of gifts and accessories including a wardrobe, accessories and jewelry. In addition she will win a one-week trip to Sunshine Village just west of Banff as a gift from the carnival committee while the Banff Chamber of Commerce will send her on a flight to Las Vegas. In Las Vegas she will be the guest of Abe Schiller, proprietor of the famed Flamingo Hotel, who will arrange for an all-expense trip to Hollywood complete with screen and television tests.

Box 471 Journal that the "sole consideration" 1 in rejecting the hotel should not have been "entertained by city council at all." The board's February decision also said the appellants have not shown council's decision is fundamentally unsound or that it would cause hardship." Hope To Clear Way For Budget Friday Members of the Alberta legislature Monday were to continue debate on the reply to the Speech from the Throne, with Lee Sims (L-Acadia-Coronation) the first speaker. Depending on how many members want to joint the debate, it may be necessary to hold special night sittings of the house this week. The government wants debate to end this week so the 1956-57 budget can be brought down on Friday night.

Hon. E. W. Hinman, provincial treasurer, will deliver the budget speech, which is expected to call for expenditures in the neighborhood of $240,000,000. Next Monday, it is expected, J.
