ces as seen by the government
grader. .
Charles 'Cnttetee, Belgrave,
who assisted with the Feeder Calf
Club which was co-sponsored by
the Co-op at Belgreve, said that
the reason there was no club last
fall, was that feeder steers would
have cost 28 .to 30 cents per lb.,
and there was little chance of
members making money on them,
He suggested that now steers
could be bought at 24-25 cent4 a•
pound, and by keeping them four
months, there was hope of making
a profit. He intended to approach
the Co-op once more and -if en-
ough boys and ypung men could
be interested in the project, it
would probably be carried out,

Clean Up Time Spurs Residents To
Complain About Cluttered Corner,
The Mayor of Clinton, Burton ton, Spender St., concerning the
state of affairs at the corner of
Princess and North Streets (quite
close to the Leppington home),
the council made this location one
of their points of call last Wed-
nesday night, on ,their tour of the
streets.
Residents in that area are corn-.
plaining about the break-up of
sidewalks and drains,' which they
feel is due to the heavy equipment
of George F. Elliott Consteuction.
They complain also of noise in the
mornings as the gravel trucks are
loaded, and of piles of gravel en-
croaching upon the sidewalks from
the Elliott lot, Mr. Leppington's
letter-• outlined much of the diffi-
euities.
Councillors discussed the matter
with Mr, Elliott, and he has since
then pushed the gravel back from
the sidewalks, and' has moved his
heavy motorized equipment back
from the sidewalk line on Princess
Street.
Council discovered that a drain
installed' along the North Street
block between John Street and
Rattenbury was not put dam deep
enough, and traffic, including the
Elliott vehicles, has broken it in
some placed. A drain going along
Princess Street in front of reel-
dences across the; street from the
Elliott property, also has been
broken in.
Mr. Elliott uses the lot for, a
stockpile of gravel as well as for
parking his construction equip.>
Merit. Sand is brought in from a
'pits dumped there, and later re-
loaded as it is' needed. Residents
in the area complain about the
noise caused by the loading opera-
tion.
Mr. Elliott has taken some
steps to remedy the situation, It
is not known whether his neigh,
hours will be satisfied with this.
Stanley, Queen Street, is, prepar-
ing to proclaim the first week of
May as Clean-up week in Clinton,
„Already a good tleal'of work along
-this line has been dolte by Clinton
citizens.
