A new and interesting chapter in the hl
story of Old Bayfield was written Monday
evening when the first municipal council
since 1927 was sworn into office and made
a start on the business of local village
government again.
Keen civic interest was shown by the
many village residents who arrived well
in advance ofbthe scheduled hour of 8.00
p.m. to be sure of witnessing the rites
attendant on the reeve and council tak-

well were on hand, and these will have
some vitlage lore for their grandchild-
ren in the dim and distant future.
