The mayor said that a new truck would cost in the neighborhood of $4,000, Mr, Angus suggested that the $2,500 from the anniversary celebra­ tion might be used to defray expenses. Council discussed the matted of buy­ ing a new truck to some length, but decided to postpone the purchase, since it had not been budgeted for this year. “Perhaps next year”, said the mayor. A request from Robert Deyell, ceme­ tery superintendent* for a new power lawn mower, was brought up by Councillor William Burgman, of the cemetery committee.. Council decided1 to leave the matter up to the discre­ tion of the committee. Complaints from residents in the northern part of town regarding the pavement on the approaches to the McKenzie bridge were aired in coun­ cil; Because of the possibility that a new bridge might be erected there in the' future, council decided not to put down a concrete pavement, However they agreed to look into the possibility of laying temporary pavement of black top. Arena Needs Money Mayor Miller announced that .there was an outstanding account for $483 from the Stainton Hardware against the arena commission, covering the cost of hockey equipment for the Junior ‘B” team, sponsored by the arena commission last winter. He said that there was not sufficient funds in the arena account to cover this charge. The mayor said the arena manager Alf Lockridge had suggested a meth­ od of handling the situation. Mr. Lockridge said that during the anni­ versary celebrations the committee had had the use of the arena rent free for the three days of the celebra­ tion. If that rent were paid to the arena commissioh it would have enough money to cover the Stainton account, Mr. Lockridgq. pointed out. He thought that the arrangement would be a fair one, particularly in view of the fact that the anniversary committee had shown a profit. Mayor Miller pointed out that it was unfair to expect any one merchant in town to shoulder the burden of the town’s entertainment. He sug­ gested that Mr. Lockridge be referred to the anniversary committee, which is still in possession of the $1,800 profit from the celebration.
