classed under an important head. All
members were present except Council­

The council agreed to cc-opeiate
with the church authorities and the
Civic Improvement Society, in a plan
drawn up by the Congregational
church, whereby Ell’ s Park is to be
created into a beautiful plaza. This
had been talked of some time before
this, but no arrangement could be
made, agreeable to the church, as this
property belongs directly to them and
they wish to retain as complete con­

still allow it for purposes of beautifying
