Supt. Niblock, of the C.P.R., and secured his permission to allow the different
towns throughout the province to use any available part of the right-of-way for
horticultural purposes. Mr. Niblock even went further than that, and said the
C.P.R. would assist any town that wished to beautify the grounds along the
railway.
Didsbury and Olds have already accepted the offer and will get busy at once.
