prevents the opening up of one of the main
thoroughfares. the company would see to

five years. The time now having elapsed
and the company not having taken any
dered the freight depot demolished. But
just before the time came for carrying this
order into effect a letter was received from
sylvania, asking that the matter be deferred
until the annual inspection takes place.
