GEORGE BrErITM.(nominated by Miteheel MeAdeen, Wended by Douglas Freemen) 'mentioned that Perhaps he should have put in an air-:conditioner for the council chamber. Then he went on to re- view the cost of renovating' the town hall. 'i1,is included taking down 15 tons of bricks Which made up the four' extra chimneys on the hall; bricking in of windows and deers, Totel cost was $6,891,90. :Commenting on the finencing of the 'eemetdry, Mr. Beattie saki, that in the past the town had budgeted two mills, or about $4,000 to sup-. port in .This year, all of that was used to help make up the cost of $6,525 which went into the new mortuary ,eault, plus $1.,500 re- turned to the board as recoverable er5rn shortages the year before, leaving a balance of -41„,090.. This was received from the balance left over froin the special fund atter., the' town hall work was' finished. As far'as operating the cemetery went, none of the budgeted money was used, and on cerrietery operte tions alone, there was, a profit of $95. Mr. Beattie predicted that in (attire it would; be self-supporting, Concerning,insurence policies on town Peoperties, Beattie said that it had been 30 years since they bad been "reviewed. 'At that time the hall had been insured for s81,000 Now however, the insurance adjus- ter had said th-ere would- only be $41,000 recoverable if the ban Weree. deployed, Po this reason, Mew- anee coverage was 'reduced to AMMO, With this and other ad- juatments, insurance preminros had been cut from 1478 every' year, to. $450 every' three years. .This is, In effect, saving of nearly $1,000 every. three years. "Clinton," said MmYEeattie, "has. .everything a town .the size of ours could possibly want, but we have no streets.

He mentioned that until now, there had been no map.- showing the location, size, etc., of drains, but that nowretreete; foreman Fred Trevena had been making one. as they cheekednee on drains, through- out the town. - which 'were in .danget of becoming a liability to the town.

On top of that the school beard.spends another $20,000.
