. _ Around W ateriloo It is too much to hope that the war waged on them by Waterloo shooters for the past three years, has depleted their numbers to the point where they no longer conâ€" stitute a nuisance. It is even a lot to expect that some of them , remembered the shooting and are mesting elsewhere. Council might also be well adâ€" viced to consider some concessions to worthwhile businesses lryin? to locate here. This move, 0 course, should only be made with the provision that the incoming business would not be st ing on the toes of those Iocllecelp:ere for some time. Waterloo has been passed by several times by worthwhile inâ€" dustries for no other reason than that no suitable land was availâ€" able at a reasonable cost. A numâ€" ber of land owners have seen the move coming and have boosted prices until they scared prospecâ€" tive businesses right out of the district. this time we begin to hear of these birds making a nuisance of themselves in parts of the city. but so far this year there hasn‘t been a word. Weather conditions have been adverse almost every â€" Friday night this spring, but a number of shoppers are getting out and taking a chance on getting wet just so they can shop at night. While we refuse to give our own opinion on this matter of night shopping, the picture now would seem to indicate that much of the shopping public would like to see it come. Some of the merâ€" chants feel that it must come eventually, why not now; while others are loathe to giv« up their free Friday nights to work while there seems to be a fair amount of business during the day time. This is a top move and one that should have been taken care of by past councils, when land prices were much cheaper than now. If by moving any or all of the bus stops, traffic on King St. is made safer and quicker, then there should be no hesitation in doing so. While the bus company may feel they are doing Waterloo a favor by furnishing transportaâ€" tion, probabilities are that they would find things were in reverse if they were not allowed to ‘coâ€" ver the King St. route. Past councils have been inâ€" clined to let the PUC have their Past councils have been inâ€" clined to let the PUC have their way in most matters whether it was good for Waterloo or not. Present council has refused to be led in any direction but the one they have studied and decided upon. While it is too much to exâ€" pect them to be right on every throw, their number of hits are high compared to the number of errors they make. J M.S. The "Gathering of the Siskins", to be held this Friday night at Hillcrest should be well attended. J.H.S. Authority to purchase land for the location of future industries, has now been given its third reading by Waterloo Council. No one wants to see the transâ€" portation company lose money on their operation, but after all that is the concern of the company and not the city. So far as losing a great number of customers is concerned, it is doubtful if such will occur. Most people don‘t mind walking a block or so to obtain transportation, if they are sure it will be there when they need it. Those going to the affair and not having transportation, need only travel as far as the Waterâ€" loo Arena and transportation will be provided for them. Those atâ€" tending and not having their cars full, are also asked to go to the Arena where they will be given passengers. . â€" J.H.S. Reaction has been good to Friâ€" day night opening of stores in Waterloo. While there are only a few open now, indications are that there will be more in the imâ€" mediate future. Actually the licensing of bicyâ€" cles as applied to this city has been a good thing. Few if any of them have been lost or stolen that police were not able to trace and return to their owners. Prior to the time that licenses were issued, few that were stolen were ever traced, as the police had no inâ€" formation on which to identify the missing vehicle. J.H.S. * Waterioo Council has now offiâ€" cially requested that the Kitchâ€" ener PUC remove the bus stops now at the corners of Dupont St. and King St. and Laurel St. and King St. These stops are to be replaced with one at the corner of Princess and King Sts. The Siskins will be presented with their new jackets as a triâ€" but to the clean, hard games they played. 2 So far there have only been 700 renewals. There are 1,900 biâ€" cycles owned and operated in this €ity. 0 _ Chief Lloyd Otto says that all of these vehicles must be licensed by the end of June if the owners wish to '(:ontinue_vto operate tppm. A written reply to the request, received from an official of the PUC stated that "while the PUC did not refuse to make the change it was thought that a considerâ€" able number of coach patrons would be inconvenienced and might be lost as a source of reâ€" venue to the transit service." Waterioo bicycle owners are advised.. that.. their.. license.. is valid only until the end of this month. Vol. 96, No. 23 J.H.S. What no starlings?

The writer of the letter stated that the transportaâ€" tion body will not refuse to change the stops, but recommendâ€" ed against the proposal because of the "inconvenience to a considâ€" erable number of coach patrons using the present stops.

Kitchener‘s biggest period of immigration was between 1921 and 1930 when 2,638, almost half from Germany, came to the city. For many this was their first Coronation. For others it may be the last.

WATERLOO _ CHRONICLE QUEEN ISSUES MESSAGE OF THANKS LONDON.â€"The Queen issued a message Wednesday of thanks to the people who worked on the many details of the Coronation.

I am touched by the knowledge that so many authorities anz individuals should have gone to so much trouble in order to give expression to their loyalty and affection." Waterloo Council at Monday night‘s _ meeting _ unanimously agreed that the purchase of a picâ€" ture of Queen Elizabeth should be deferred for the present. An outâ€"ofâ€"town firm had sent a picâ€" ture to Waterioo on approval but council members decided that it was too small and should be reâ€" turned. & A pnintinï¬ by the noted Kitchâ€" ener artist, Reuben Jukes, will be considered by Council. zr.
