that cost of maintenance and pro-
viding. staff or the scales was
much' id excess of the revenue de-
rived. The seales are used in, the
main ,•te Weigh deliveries of coal
sold im town. At a meeting, which
the property -committee held with
,
local coal dealers, several sugges-,
tions were entertained, including:
(a) -continuing the Operation as it
is; (b) employ tenant ,in the PUC
residence•to haridk the scales, and
'(e) 'rent the entire operation to
someone. A fourth suggestion,ad-
vanced by Councillor Hablcirk,
chairman ,of the .property commit-
tee, who was handling the matter,
was that the responsibility for the
operation of the scales be, assum-
-ed by the coal dealers` who:were
.the prime users. ' ,
- Suggest Fair Rental
'Council felt :that a fair rental
could.' be arrived at for -the use' of
-the sealee and-whieh would make
without creating a charge against
the 'munitip,ality' as a whole. An
aniouirt Of $100 a year per dealer
was suggested., /I
Distussion revealed that there
*ere few requirements for the
scales other than thoSe of lOcai
coal dealers. Steck was now Weigh-
ed on wales maintained by Wright
& Leyburn, and vvhen special a.r-
rangements were required for
night Weighing of .chickens, extra
remuneration was provided by the
truckers using the scales.
Necessity for the provision of a.
spectator stand at the recreation
grounds; en South Main, Street,
was pointed out to council by the
Seaforthf Minot Baseball, Associa-
tion. The d,ianiond plays an impor-
tant roll in yeuth activities, the
letter' said. Council instructed
Clerk 'Wilson to write the associa-
tion, saying that the request was
being referred to next year's
possible, necessary maintenance (Continhed on' Page 12)
