* J. A. McKay from
■ Archibald’s office interviewed J the council in regard to drainage
work under theii* direction. He
advised that the work on the
Brock and Earl drains was com
plete but that no certificate
would be given until the con
tractor had made more progress
on the McDougall drain. He ad
vised that further compacting
should be done on the fill be
hind the head wall on the Brock
drain. He advised the council
that he had been instructed by
Col. Archibald to tell them that
the tile work designated in the
report as Branch Two to Branch
B (Brock Creek Drain) found to
be unnecessary and therefore not
constructed, was shown in the
report by error and that the
assessments of the ratepayers in
the area concerned should not
be altered as they did not in
clude the cost of the work not
constructed. He also advised
council that they were preparing
bridge plans for the Brock drain

price on the Brock Creek drain
that no deduction be made in

reason of the Branch Two to
Branch B portion not being con
structed.
It was moved by Jeffery and

BOWER—In loving memory of
a darling son, Wayne, who
passed away three years ago,
October 16.
Two little hands are resting,
A loving heart is still;
A little son we loved is waiting
For us just over the hill.
—Sadly missed by Mother and
Dad and family.
GILBERT-—In loving memory of
our mother, Margaret Ann Gil
bert, who passed away three
years ago, October 19, 1948.
You can only have one mother,
Patient, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world
Will be so true to you.
For all their loving kindness
They ask nothing in return;
If all the world deserted us
To our mother we could turn.
To those who have a mother,
Treasure them with -care—-
For you never know their value
Till you see their vacant chair.
—'Ever remembered by Jean,
Cassie and Gertie.
/MAIER-—In loving memory of a
dear friend, L.Cpl. Harold L.
Maier, Hastings - Priiice Ed

Death cannot sever;
Love and remembrance
Remain forever.
