success. â€" ‘ â€" _ Where the store is located in the same block with others â€" staying open the same night, merchants report a fair amount » _A of trade during the extra night hours. Others, in blocks where they are practically the only store remaining open, claim its hardly worth the effort. *‘ A NUMBER OF KITCHENâ€" ER merchants are now trying out the Friday night opening ~ and evidently with mixed . TO REBUILD BRIDGEPORT ROAD Probably the same problem confronts every retail section when this type of effort is * first made. There seems little doubt but that the general public will go along with night shopping if the majority of stores are open. It seemes just as likely there will be little real success if only a store here and there keeps these hours. Actually it is a problem the *amerchants t hem se lves must solve, If their business is such that night shopping will not improve it, then they would be foolish to bother with the extra hours. Such businesses that cannot stand something extra‘ * in the way of income however.1 are few and far between. Night shopping might and then again. might not be the answer. ‘ J.H.5. TRUST KITCHENER TO lead the way in messing up an already â€" complicated parking Nroblem. â€" This week they proceeded to tear out the hour length parkâ€" ing meters and instal those with a halfâ€"hour limit. This of course is supposed to be inâ€" telligent thinking. If you own a taxi company, you can steal a piece of the curb parking and have it for your exclusive use. The mere fact that the motoring public owns that parking has nothing to do with it. Kitchener will see to it that you are allowed *to keep the area free of private cars. Kitcherer even now is the one place we know of that caters exclusively to the truck and taxi trade, _ The same applies if you own a truck. Most of every block on the main street will be re-' served for your exclusive use. The rest you will have to share with PUC buses. If of course the city makes a mistake and instals a couple of ordinary meters, you can park your truck there too. In fact it‘s a good idea to grab any existâ€" ing meters first. Then you leave all the rest of the block for other truckers to park in. If by any chance you are % private car owner and you re stupid enough to drive to Kitchener and expect to find a parking spot within halH a mile of where you want to shop, you will be delighted to know that the great white fathers of that city will now (Contimued on Page $8) Work To Start Within 3 Weeks ...

Actual construction will effect Bridgeâ€" port road from Moore avenue to the city limits. The road is now twentyâ€"five feet wide and an additional ten or eleven feet will be added to it‘s width. Warren Bituminous Paving Co. Ltd., was awarded the conâ€" tract. Cost of the project will be $115,000, The city will pay $59,150 and the government will pay oneâ€"third of the reâ€" maining amount. The balance will be paid by the property owners on Bridgeport road from Moore avemue to the city limits, This payment will be made on tenâ€"year debentures. Curbs and gutters on the north side of Bridgeport road, from Lincoln road to Moore avenue will be left untouched. -wl-a-yvorâ€" afifhgy said the present road base will be saved wherever possible. . > _ Alderman â€" Norman Rat:s questioned the necessity of putting curbs andâ€" gâ€"tters on Alderman â€" Peter â€" Stewart posed a question to council members Monday night reâ€" garding work on Regina street "Why so much delay on Regina street" he said. "Num« people have approached with complaints. â€" MV DMaY ReRRORE CBRICa ces Ald. Jim Bauer said workâ€" ers will not begin their spring campaign on the road for apâ€" proximately seven . or eight weeks. Ads must be put in the press informing people of conâ€" struction and then a certain waiting period takes place. This would â€" entail â€" nearly â€" three weeks delay. If there are any complaints regarding the construction, a hearing must be held. Here again is another waiting period "This", he said "would account for the seven or eight weeks delay. Ald. Stewart felt that when a job such as Regina street is planned there should be a more rigid timetable to follow regarding the work and that the mayor should not be bothâ€" ered by complaints from perâ€" Last Thursday night could have spclled doom for several Kitchener merchants. _ _ Store Byâ€"Law To Be Enforced Kitchener â€" police â€" officers some in plainclothes, checked a number of fruit stores last night â€" suspected _ of selling groceries after the 6 p.m. closing hour.

He said he had tallk= ed with a gentlieman represent» ing the Warten Paving comâ€" pany and he though that curbs would only add extra expenise; the ~Warren _ representative suggested a type of dish gutter just as well. Ald. Doerner though this type of gutter would only tend to wash out the side of th®@ road. Such washouts are: 8 regular occurrence along the whole length of the road a#% the present time he said, _ "W a t e rloo‘s constructio® jobs are of a higherâ€"quality than that suggested by Ald. Ratz" stated Ald. Jim Bauer, He thought the standard curbs added much to the general apâ€" pearance of the artery, preâ€" vented washâ€"outs â€" and â€" also served as a saftey feature Mayor Whitney said the PUC should be notified imâ€" mediately to have all connecâ€" tions in before work is started on the road. Also discussed was the likeâ€" lihodd of having \. top lights erected at the corner of Bridgeport road and Margaret avenue, sometime in the fuâ€" ture. Lights at Weber and sons living on the street. Ald. Norman Ratz sided with Ald. Stewart and said that in jobs involving "thousands of dollars" there should be more speed and efficieacy. Whether aimingy his remarks at Alderman Jim Bauer or not, Ald Ratz said that in order to speed up work on such matters, "the committee should be made up of four hardâ€"headed business men." Jim Bauer is chairman of the Board of Works committee. Alderman A nna Hughe: interjected and said that Ald. Ratz was out of order when he made remarks against a counâ€" cilman. "In yhat manner do you mean" asked mayor Whitney. "Remarks like; he is too young and needs hardâ€"headed businessmen to be with him on such occasions",. said _ Ald. Hughes. "Mr. Bauer is workâ€" ing on last years recommendâ€" ations and is doing a fine job," said councilman Hughes. Mayor Whitney 3aid he was certain that Ald. Ratz did not intend his remarks as an inâ€" sult but only as a matter of a suggestion. The former conâ€" tinued that Ald. Bauer should be honoured by such remarks; that such duties should be placed upon the shoulders of a young man like himself. | COMING EVENTS| FREE LECTURE on Chris« tian Science on Tuesday May 1st at 8:15 p.m., church edeâ€" fice, corner of Francis and Water streets Kitchener.
