Vol. 91, No. 31 Just in case some person or perâ€" m.oquuiduuweelmuwe were criticizing City Engineer Oke, such as Amos Ave., McDougall Ave., and Dearborn St., such was not the ENTE UTITE T T O uk inss shet opinion, one of the best things that ever happened to Waterioo, and certainly one of the best jobs that council ever did, was his hiring. ly: but we would have to deat and 'u”a;mb not to E:.g;fe;fi recognize wor done in W.ufiw s If anyone who reads this column, has the slitm-t doubt as to Mr. Oke‘s ability, think back to last winter, when the snow was lying on the streets of Kitchener, while our own roads were as clear almost as they are in sumiméef. inis was only one of the jobs that he has dope since arriving in Waterloo, and if ever a person went into a job with two strikes on him, it was our City Enfineer, for it might quite truthfully be said that "there was no engineering department in Waterloo when he came here". While Mr. Oke has accomplished what amounts to miracles in the amount of Erogress he has made in Waterloo, he hasn‘t done it withâ€" out a great deal of work. Probabl no other city employee works ha& the number of hours that he does, and probably no other city emâ€" ployee receives as little direct praise. Had a visit today from two fine "young" fellows, the kind that makes a newgaper editor‘s job really worth while. They are Mr. C. R. Gies of 75 Alexandra Blvd., who is a mere 80 years old, and Mr. H. Kress of 64 Menno St., who feels that he is considerably older than lfi. Gies because he is 80% years old. By golly, if we ever reach such a fine aie. we only hope that we will be half as spry as these two "youngsters". In fun, we asked them if they had lead a very ?ure life when they were young fellows; to enable them to reach an age which is far from common today, and still be so s%?. Mr.. Gies just lau_ghedr: bg& Mr. Both of these gentlemen said that the read and liked this column, but that wasn‘t what they had come in for. They wanted to know WHY there was noJ:laee for an elderly person to sit down and rest when they were down town in Waterloo. Mr. Gies asked the question, and when he said "elderly" he jerked his thumb over at Mr. Kress, who is % ayearoldert‘t:‘anhe‘s!“ L avs a€R 2030000 WUâ€"Saan Thane Kress, allowed as how he "hadn‘t been too dofioue pure, when he was a young buck". At last an honâ€" est man. â€" o2 e e e esns We didn‘t know the reason there were no benches of any kind, and further enquire drew out the fact that at one time there had been several park type benches placed in suitable places (the Equitable Life Park was one) so that these older g:ople might sit down when they came tired, without having to go into a restaurant or some place simâ€" Mr. Kress pointed out that the only place he can get bit of a rest when he becomes tired while down town, is in one of the bank builâ€" dings, and he has used fiLfis partiâ€" cular spot «d long he is becoming afraid that the bank may consider that he is part of their property, and lock him in the vault some Nt is a good question though. Why aren‘t there a few benches scatterâ€" ed around in a few pleasant places so that these older folk can have a bit of a rest when they need it? Could one of our aldermen take up this question and get an answer? _ J.HS. Proprietor of the White Rose Gaâ€" soline Station on King St. N., in Waterloo, William Brutzki, thinks that the whole gasoline tyyiaw setâ€" up is a racket. _ _ _ _ that the whole gasoline bylaw setâ€" up is a racket. Mr. Brutzki says that he was one of the original signers of the early closing bylaw, not because he wanted to close, but because there was already an overwhelming numâ€" ber of gignatures on the retition; and because the (’y:fanizer rom the Retail Gasoline and Automobile Asâ€" sociation, promised him &mtec tion" for the sum of $12.00, the g‘x"‘i:e of jo'm'ln, the association. "protection" was supposed to Ernest Oke, is in our humble Actually we know Mr. Oke from stations outside of Waterloo. In this wa%&he business of the operators in Waterlo would be protected. _ The "protection" was supposed to fake the form of closing gasoline Before the early closing vyetmon was even Ngnsed on by Waterloo Council, . Brutzki claims that both he and Mr. Shantz of the Twin Oli:‘y Garage, went before council and pointed out that the Gasoline Association did not have authority to close stations outside of Waterâ€" loo City, and suggested that counâ€" cil investigate the situation before %:ina the early closing bylaw. is council refused to do, and Mr. Bruteki, for refusing to fall in line, was fined for selling gasolime on 1‘;]:{::' to one g the nldel'x;“imen‘ who helped rush the early closing mhw through, Mr. Bruu.lli claims t he was asked, "What are you kicking about, your front door is closed, but ‘o.: can always do busiâ€" ness at the k door." He said that, "he then told the :zgm*ve of his oil company t the Alderman had said, and that the alderman had repeated his statement to the representative, who said that "his company didn‘t do business that way." Mr. Brutrki‘s main complaints are not that he was fined. nor that council ignored his suggestion for council red his suggestion for an m".m.hn before passing the bylaw, or even that he paid $12.00â€" for "protection" that he didn':’r. His grievances are: that ile council stails around on rescinding the law (for which there are signatures) he is losing maâ€" nv of his customers, and while he is o. hashil Abrdirt on d a Td 1 for "protection" that he didn':’r. running full bla His grievances are: that ile| Sundays as well council stails around on rescinding | | "Kitchener de the law (for which there are|ting a petition signatures) he is losing maâ€" reopening of t! his c\manmand while he is| Brutzki claims, &? money customers, a|ener stations re couple of the Gasoline Association‘s tione will ofl;\ executives, who have stations of cause Water their own outside of Waterloo, are lows Kitchener‘s J.HS THE WATERLOO CHRONICLE Dominion Linseed Oil Company to Resume Operations pated that it will gradually inâ€" mmhmnt:fifrofmployee-n it gets into â€"stage operations.

In recent years there have been too many ‘snap judgments‘â€"too many inequalities," he said. Several board members suggested that a new â€" assessment policy might bring on "resentment.‘ Mayor Hiliard said it was his inâ€" tention and that of the assessment commissioner to assess Waterloo lproperties at their true value. He intimated that some properties are ‘?ssessed for about 25% of their vaâ€" ue.
