Reeve’William McKenzie open­ ed the question when he objected to a newspaper report last week that the booster club was going to contribute the difference be­ tween the council grant -and the actual cost of the garments. “If we’re going to buy jackets, we should pay for the entire cost of iheim,” the reeve said. It didn't look -right for the -town to pay only part of the amount, he stated. Mayor R. E. Pooley insisted the original $300- provided by council was the amount -asked for by the booster club. Their re­ quest was for 19 jackets at $15 each. Booster club committee, C. S. MacNauighton -and B. W. Tuckey, wiho came into the chamber® as council was discussing th© question, said further investiga­ tion -revealed the jackets cost $-2-5 each and th©y sa!Id the club •would raise the (difference in cost if council didn’t want to increase its original grant. Reeve McKenzie and Councillor Alvin Pym moved that the amount be increased. Only objecting voice was that of Deputy-Reeve Chester Ma- whinney who said that while he appreicated the success achieved by the team he thought “$500 is a lot of money for the -town of -Exeter to pay out for the hockey boys.” (MacNaughton suggested * th© value in pubHeity and reknow-n of the team’s Success this year is quite substantial. Discuss Town Band Council discussed with former (bandmaster, Ted W-alper, the pos­ sibility of reorganizing the citi­ zens band and of gathering up the instruments owned by th© town and putting them in shape again, (Council learned that it owns $2,000 worth of instruments and -uniforms, -some of which are still in the possession of players. The bandmaster was authorized to collect the horns, repair them and Inquire from older -members if they are still interested in playing in a town band. Reeve William McKenzie paid tribtuo to Mi4, Wai per for his services to the town in connec­ tion with the band, which he led for 20 years before retiring.
