‘You can protest again,” said
City Solicitor Peters.

“We are not proposing any
development at Seal Cove at pres-
ent,” said Mr. D’Arcy Tate.
“When we do, we will send the
plans intended to be filed and

“We agree that Cow Bay and
Hays Creek must be filled up,’
id Alderman Hiiditch, ‘but we
want Seal Cove.”

“I object to a protest being

is time enough for a protest when
the plans are filed.”’

The City Solicitor to Alderman
Hilditch. ‘You have no right to
protest against plans which are
not filed. That will prevent you
from protesting afterwards if you
want to.”

Mr. D’Arcy Tate: “If we in-
tend further development we sub-
mit plans before filing. We are
bound to do so by the Railways
Act.”

Alderman Hilditch: “It is no
use filing plans after the work
has been done, and the places are
filled up.”

Alderman Newton.

““No,”’ replied Mr. D’Arcy Tate,
“that would leave a document
on file with the Minister of Rail-
ways which is a protest. That
is what we want to get rid of.
If you want to protest again next
week you can do it.”

Mayor Manson: ‘‘What would
be wrong with withdrawing the
present protest, and then writing
next week saying we desired to
be communicated with should the
Railway Company want to carry
on development at Seal Cove?”’
Alderman Douglas: “But Seal
Cove is almost closed up already.”
Alderman Smith: ‘‘Seventy-five
feet of it is left open.”

Alderman Hilditch: ‘Might I
ask Mr. Hays if he has any in-
tention of closing up this opening?”

Mr. Hays: ‘Not the slightest,
Mr. Hilditch. You have the idea
that you are giving away rights
that you may need later. This
you cannot possibly do because
we are bound by law to supply
you with plans before we go on
with future development.”’

The motion was carried after
Mr. Hays had suggested that he
should write a letter to the aty
council to the effect that he would
do no development until plans
were submitted to the city council.
The letter was filed by the City
Clerk.

Alderman Clayton: ‘‘In other
words Mr. Hays, you will write
a letter agreeing to keep the law.”
