The Acting Director of Public Works min. uted: "The houses are certainly well situated as regards open space in the rear I consider it absurd to require the provision of backyards in such cases. What I would like to see would be a restriction in the enormous height of the houses, fronting on such a narrow street. I am in favour of passing then."

Dr. Clark moved that the Board accept the buildings as they now stand, as complying with the Ordinance.

The complainant being swom said, last night about 11.30 p.m. he was walking down Queen's Road to the Ganteen. He felt a man's hand round his back.

The defendant was caught by a Sergeant and a Private of the R.W.F.
