Alderman Irwin moved, see oiided by Alderman Smith, that the matter of changing the grade on Lonsdale Ave be further discussed 011 Thursday evening. The motion carried On Thursday evening the council chamber represented 4 debating cluh as at that meeting the ratepayers' opinions on the changing ol grades had been invited. The lull council was present lie-sides a large quots ol ratepayers. Letters were read Irom Jlessrs. W. E. Thompson, J. \V. Home and the Nortli Vancouver Land & Imp. Co. rt the proposed change in grades, Mr. Thompson prole-sled against any change being made to a terrace scheme ivhich' would not only damage the permanent owners, but would Ix- i unsuitable for a business street and car line and make haulage all the more diflicult, as llie grades between streets would be increased. In his letter Mr. Home thought that the present grade on the east side oi Lonsdale Avenue about right as il stood at present. The Nortli Vancouver Land St Improvement Company recorded as their opinion the following reasons why it wa.s undesirable to make any change in the grades : (a) It would entail a considerable expense at a I very inconvenient lime ; (bj lhe advantages would In- nil, it would not make the appear. .mee of the cross streets any [better ; (c) the gratle on Loiis- j du.li* Ave. is quite great enough I at present without making it greater and so increasing the difliculties of transportation, both in the tram line and teaming ; (d) the proposed change will undoubtedly Iny the council open to action lor damages which arc certain to be brought." Several minutes relative lo the grades ol former councils were read which disclosed the fact that there were several glades given. Thc council then invited the opinion ol the ratepayers present, the mayor making clear the lads belore discussion and slating thai il was surprising lhat objection ihould lie taken to the same at so late a date, as Ibis question had been before the council for soiiie nine and had appeared in lhe papers. Mr. G, A. McBain was the lirsl to respond to the invitation, aud emphatically declared himsell as opposed to terrace grades lor Lonsdale Ave. He believed that a straight grade for Lonsdale Ave. stood fuvor- I ably in the minds of the majority and was certainly very , line, I Alderman .lorden thought it was a great mistake thai ratepayers did not take more interest in council meetings and attend regularly and help thc Al- ildmen in leading questions. Mr. Walter Owen : "Has professional advice ken asketl regarding bench grades ou Lonsdale Ave. ?" Mayor 1 "Yes, several—Mr. Clement and others." Mr. Owen : "Have you laken their opinion ?" Mayor : "Yes ; they considered that Lonsdale Ave. would be belter with bench grades." Mr. Murray : "Is Home's building being erected on new or old grades ?" Alderman Dick: "The new- grade." Mr. Murray : "I am not in lavor ol professional advice altogether as each man has an opinion ol his own. Terrace grades in Vancouver have been abandoned. We should go by the experience ot other cities, and they are not adopting the terrace grade system." Mr. C. McKcUiic : "Have lasl year's minutes ol grades Ik-cii considered ?" The Mayor : "The grades ou Lonsdale Avenue an- not the same. Can any one show ine where there arc any grades ?" Mr. Morden : "How much do you propose in raise- the south side ol 1'iist street on Loiis- dale Ave ?" Engineer I.«utit : "Twenty- two inches."
