Apparently the gentlemen who were re- sponsible, for, originating the proposition last year, did not follow the correct pro- eedure at least the method which they adopted varied onsiderably front that pre- scribed in the city of Winnipeg, where similar action has been found necessary. The exact nature of the initial steps taken in Winnipeg will be to hand in a day or so, but presumably, that city has had a clause incorporated in its charter conferring upon the municipality the power to designate certain portions of the city in which no building shall be erected within a specified distance of the street line. Whether or not the Council or property owner affected, takes the initiative will not be known until the information which has al- ready been asked for is received here. The Stata will also explain the point regarding ;(the lapse of time existing after notification is served, before the city acquires the pro- perty. of the Winnipeg By-laws it is apparent that long the lines indi- By-laws are be- e 2 an aggressive policy a i indi ist? cated is being followed. 3 vs are be j ing constantly passed restricting the own- te ers of property in certain streets from building within- twenty five- feet of the street line. This will provide for a thor- oughfare 116 feet in width. Medicine Hat s ambitions are not quite as great as those of Winnipeg on this point. The most that would be asked of a property owner-would be to cede a ten foot st across Labled-to-have 86 foot streets inthe business section. At the same time the property would undoubtedly be enhanced in value.
