P I'RSOXAI S iVESTERLY END OF ~IARINE DRIVE TO RECEIW E FI.USH COAT The council received on ~iIon day night a report from the en- gineer on the cost of flush coat- ing miles 8, 9. 10 and part of 11 of Marine Drive, which he estimated would cost $450.

TO GIVE ACCESS TO CYPRESS PARK BEACH The municipal engineer re- ported to the council on ~Ionday night on the question of access for pedestrians to the beach at Cypress Park, for which a large- ly signed petition was recently presented to the council. He stated that. on account of those who had signed the petition liv- ing in so many different parts of Cypress Park, access at two places would be necessary. One of these would be by iIr. Doug-las'ome in the old subdivision west of Cypress Creek, which would cost, he estimated, $60. The other access would be con- siderably east of the creek. This was very badly needed and would be a costly and difficult piece of work. It would neces- sitate making a drainage outlet to let storm water pass in the winter, a fill being put in, and a gravel sidewalk being made down to English Bay. The esti- mated cost of this access was $ 110, and of the drainage $ 190. An expenditure not to exceed $60 was authorized THE EARWIG PEST Sanitary Inspector Gracey made the following report on the earwig pest to the council: AV&th regard to the earwig pest in AVest Vancouver, I find the pest has got a hold in vari- ous parts of the municipali~t.
