L. Hayter, at the corner of North and Rattenbury Streets. That same night three other re- quests were refused. S. Melville Irving, required service to his home on Ontario Street, but since he is. outside the corporation the commission was unable to grant the request. Two other owners, Charles Lee and Fred Tideswell, Queen Spreet, who • required sew- erage' service, were refused since the main does not pass their resi- dences, and the ?LTC under exist- ing arrangements has no money available for insulting mains. These latter 'requests will be sent to the Token Council, since it IS up to that body to raise the money for extensions to the sewer service. Estimated cost of the main to serve the. Tideswell and Lee homes would be $1,200. One outstanding debt in, the amount of $45• for non-payment of sewerage rate,, was also turned over to the town for collection with taxes, • A delegation from the Clinton 100F, John Sutter and John Sang- ster, approached the PUC, and ac- eepted the taiseen rent. They ire dicatedethet.m; _Lodge, ;heel ,been expecting the,einceease, and that $25 a month was quite-satisfactory to them, They suggested some re- decoration work. e•-• The PUC gave the job of fixing the upper story windows of the building to Mitcheal McAdam on a time and material basis. Estim- ated cost of putting in the new sills will be $250. The commission accepted an of- fer from K. W. Colquhoun to have an analysis made of the various insurance policies heIttlay the MC with view to improVing beverage If possible. Mr. •Colquhoun is already acting as insurance broker for the Town of Clinton, and during a sim- ilar insurance analysis there last year, his action is credited with a yearly saving to the token of half a mill. The Commission also entered in- to a sickness and accident plan with the Canada Life Assurance Company, in which nine eniployees will be covered. -Welcome news from the REPC' office was a refund of $3,834,37 on the 1956 payments for power. Each year the commission is billed on an estimated amount of power. Immediately following the end of the year, when, the HEPC is aware of its own costs, and the actual amount of power used by Clinton, then an adjustment is made. In this case Clinton had overpaid for used power. Last year the PUC had underpaid, and when the ad- justment was made the Commis- sion had forwarded an additional $1,200. However, when, a similar adjustment was made on street lights and hydrant rental, the PUC earned a credit of $2,300 which was turned over to the Town. iianong the skaters in the official tests held tart Cliritee Ice last Saturday were ba,tk row, left to right, Diane Cempbell, Aim Trott, MarY Aerie NewOriabe, Shaklee Cook, Caren Gee. tinger and Mary Macaulay.

Were Better Teem ' Clinton clearly demonstrated that they were the better team against Wiarton when they swept the series in three straight games. It was just a case of too much youth and the never-say-die spirit that pulled the games out of the fire for the Colts. There were no individual stars, each player gave his best in an all-out team effort. Wiarton made a desperate bid to rake the third game of the series last night in the Dion Arena. They had a one goal lead in the first and second periods but couldn't cope with the persistent attack of the Colts. 1-lartley Scores Three John Hartley provided the spark for the third win by scoring three goals. Murray Colquhoun fired two and Bill Hanly was the other marksman. Davidson was the in- dividual star for Wiarton with two goals and two assists. Boswell; Kruetzwieser and Wilford also flashed the red light for the Red- men. Murray Colquhoun put the Colts in front on his first tutu on the ice. He rapped Ray Anstett's re- bound past Shear who was spraw- led on the ice. It was a short- lived lead as Davidson- took ad- vantage of a defensive lapse, grabbed the loose puck and drilled a low shot over Denomme's Grip stretched leg, Both teams checked very closely and there were very few good shots on. either net. Boswell fin- ally found an Opening ,at the ten minute mark and scored with a low •shot from the left boards. Clinton finally tied the score after many desperate attempts with Har- tley, the triggerman. Bob Garon earned an assist on the play. The only 'penalty of the period went to Ray Anstett for high-sticking. Davidson gave the tribe the lead (Continued pn Page Eight) Over 80 Birthday Club Congratulations and best wish- es go to Mrs. Donald MacKenzie, Sr., who today, Thursday, March 28, is marking her 91st birthday.
