Conway submitted his topographical sur- vey of that portion of the muni- cipality lying betlveen 20th an&1 29th Streets as far north as Palmerston. The sun ey showed a new layout of the roads, none of them ivith grades exceeding 10/o instea&l of the 22/i grades which now occur in some cases. The advantages of such a layout to the property owners affected is obvious. Building bylaws came up for discussion, and it is the intention of the commission to make rcc- onmmendations to the council for a suitable garbage dump.

THE WEST VAN NEWS Fall is with us, winter will soon come and go and then Spring with all her glories will be upon us. By planting bulbs now we may enjoy some of the beauties of Spring much earlier. There are so many varieties of bulbs, that surely all of us may find among them some var- ieties suitable to our own partic- ular needs. And how much we will enjoy their vivid colors in the early Spring after several creeks of dreary days. The tulips with their lustrous flowers atop their long stems will look enchanting amongst the evergreen shrubbery. The cro- cuses and snowdrops look their best ivhen planted in the lawn. They will come into flower early in March, or even late in Febru- ary, and will die down in time for starting the Summer's mow- ing activities. The sweet scent- ed Narcissus, the glowing Daf- fodil will also be appreciated in the early Spring in the corner allotted them. The Crocuses, Snowdrops and Blue Scillas may also be planted in the rockery to advantage. Practically all bulbs should be planted now before the heavy fall rains start, if they would prosper. The earth at this time is warm and the bulbs will root quite readily, and with the first sign of Spring's approach we will be well rewarded for our efforts now, in the realization of our fondest hopes. IVcst Vancouver with its early Spring, offers unlimited oppor- tunity for a profusion of early flowering bulbs, and a wonderful chance to show your city friends how much better garden oppor- tunities they would find in living on the North Shore. Let us make use of the wond- erful location and climatic ad- vantage nature has blessed us with and take more pride in our homes and gardens. Flowers are so easily grown in West Vancou- ver and certainly repay our ef- forts a thousandfold. NOTE--Taa wvlcvv wnl cowclchr Ic c slvciuvc lo cccwcv quvclloac ccccvvclws the Ccvevs la cele column.
