Scott, protesting the counâ€" cil‘s decision to extend Univerâ€" sity avenue aroused considerâ€" able debate among Traffic and Transportation Committee memâ€" bers, Monday. Professor Scott had sent inâ€" dividual letters to each memâ€" ber of council and, though the letter was not read out during the meeting, Alderman Arthur Paleczny commented "L _ don‘t feel that he is aware of all the facts and Alderman Ron Buddell commented "I read it but do not understand his reason for obâ€" jecting." It was the apparent feeling of committee members that Profâ€" Professors Letter Causes Consternation Course attendees, along with the mythical problems, we‘re encouraged by Mr. Buddell to discuss the dayâ€"toâ€"day problems they were confronted with in their own business, and everyâ€" one gave their opinions as to the method of meeting and solâ€" ving them.

While it has not yet been conâ€" firmed. it is rumored by usually reliahle sources that the Waterloo Square will soon have a large addition. namely the Kâ€"Mart. If this is true it would be a most welcome addition to the business section of Waterloo. Rumored, Kâ€"Mart To Locate Here? essor Scott not only objected to the road extension, but wanted the traffic funnelled down Erh St. Aldetrman Buddell pointed out that a big development was to be built up on Erb St. N. that will cause a traffic problem, if, the University avenue extension was not built. The extension, said D‘Arcy Dutton, would also divert traffic from that section of Hallman road which can not be redesigned at this late date. Hallman road area would not be built up for many years to come, he said. Traffic is buildâ€" ing up much faster than we can build roads to accommodate it, continued Mr. Duiton. and the city would be silly to pass up a diversion that would facilitate traffic flow. Diplomas were presented last night to the 17 who attended the majority of the sessions, and exhibited an interest and knowâ€" ledge of the course material. Though there were two drop outs from the original 19 who registered, they were both due to the fact that they were callâ€" ed out of town on business matâ€" carried on by the participants into the late (or early) hours in some of the favourite local deâ€" bating establishments.

Alâ€" derman Harold Paikin recomâ€" mended then, that the city enâ€" gineer compose a letter to the professor, outlining the reasons the city considered the extonâ€" sion so important for this area. Alderman _ Buddell _ remarked that he was concerned that the letter received from the pro fessor had been written on (nâ€" iversity â€" stationary, giving â€" an impression that it was an officâ€" ial view of the university, rathâ€" er than a personal view. If, he said, he wished a reply it should have been sent to tne city and not to individual alderâ€" men also, he is using money this city has donated to the univer sity (stationary, clerks etc») to lodge a personal protest. I am definitely against asking the enâ€" gineer to write a reply to a personal letter.
