MARTLAND J.

MARTLAND J.—We are all of the opinion that the Appellate Division rightly decided that s. 106(1) of The Planning Act, R.S.A. 1970, c. 276, did not empower the Council of the City of Edmonton to pass the resolution which is in issue in this appeal. The appeal is dismissed with costs.

Judgment accordingly.
