He cited instances of where the company bad worked with other villages in tbia respect of beautifying the parkways at the vijiage entrance, and thought it was a movement whieb the company should be glad to partici¬ pate in.
Mr. Randall alao took the trouble to give his personal viewa on tha aabjeet of inatalling gateways at the atreet crossinga. Ha thinks past accidents warrant auch, aod that it will be a aafeguard to reaidenta of the village.
