ENGINEER IS ON WARPATH Wartime Housing Under Fire at VVUIIlll Judging from a number of recommendations.- and communications which were read at the meeting of the city council last night, the city engineer, George S. Hanes, appears to be on the warpath as far as War-tune Housing is concerned. Some of the recommendations of the city engineer were adopted. On othe:s action was deferred. First the city engineer suggested that all divisions and subdivisions of townslte property proposed by Wartime Housing be' submitted to the city for approval or rejection. Mayor W. M. Watts said that already the city council had rejected one proposed subdivision by Wartime Housing but this did not appear to have much ef- iect on Wartime Housing. The mayor said that Wartime Housing, had been asked for a master plan of all subdivisions and street changes that had been made. The suggestion of the city engineer that divisions and subdivisions be submitted for approval or "rejection was concurred in on motion of Aid. uaggett and Aid. McKay. ..Vext matter affecting War-t.'me Housing to be brought before the council by the engineer eo:e plank roadways which had oeen built on Piggott Avenue md Seventh Avenue. These the r.ineer described as "positively uiange.ous" and justified being cosed. Mr. Hanes recommended ed that orders should be made inat they be brought up to standard. Aid. McKay moved and Aid. Black seconded that the engineer's recommendation .be concurred in. Aid. Hills proposed that the stieets be barri-I caded by the city and signs be j put up pointing out that they I were dangeious for traffic. These roads, Aid. Black observ- ed, were reminiscent of the old plank roads the city had thirty years ago. Finally, at the sug gestlon of Mayor Watts, the matter was referred to the co-ordinating committee' for con slde:atlon. The city engineer also report' ed to the council that he did not approve of plans and speci fications for sewer installations of Wartime Housing on Sixth Avenue. Meetings in connection with these installations had Capua and the sea swept over the difficult river barrier at all points on bridges constructed, by the. engineers. - The British Eighth army of . which the Canadian First division is part, continued to push-back the Germans and captur-, ed Santosteifano and Montecil-' tone In their drive from Jhe Adriatic coast.
