for Handley Crescent.
Mrs. L.M. Clark, 3347 Handley Crescent, stated she would like a

guarantee that the assessment will go down if the improvements proceed;

however, Mayor Campbell advised this cannot be done.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Traboulay:

That after the proposed works of Local Improvement have been completed
on Handley Crescent, the Assessment Court of Revision be requested to take
into consideration the inequities that have occurred on corner lots and
make appropriate adjustments to assign frontages that are more in keeping

with the average size lots on the street before the charges are placed

on the tax roll. Carried.

From the City Clerk, October 31st, 1974, referring to the proposed City Clerk

re proposed
closure-N.
portion -
McKenzie Ave.

closure of the small section of McKenzie Avenue that extends West off
Pitt River Road in the 1400 block, mentioning that the South half was
closed and sold to Mr. John Kerr, who subsequently consolidated it with
adjacent property owned by him, and who since sold the land to John
William Scott and Carole Susanna Scott, and advising that no reply has
been received to letters written ty the new owners in seeking to obtain
their consent to close the Northerly portion of McKenzie Avenue. The
City Clerk, in his report, stated that in normal circumstancas there
would be little that could be done as the consent of the adjacent owner
is a prerequisite to the Crown relinquishing its title to a closed road;
however, in certain very limited circumstances this rule can be waived
and the Council may well consider that the persons who receive the
ultimate benefit of the closure of one half of the road (the Scotts)
should not be able to hold up the closure of the other half simply by
withholding their consent.

Mrs. Scott was in attendance at the meeting and on invitation of
Mayor Campbell, spoke to the meeting and inquired what would happen to
the section of McKenzie Avenue in question once closure has been effected,
and Alderman Laking advised it would be offered for sale.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Ranger:

That with respect to the "Second McKenzie Avenue Road Closure By-
law, 1974, No. 1323" and the Petition to the Lieutenant-Governor in
Council thereon dated July 9th, 1974 authorized by resolution of the

Council on July 8th, 1974, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council be advised
