There are some sidewalks in much worse condition than the ones which were fixed this year," Taylor referred to previous criticisms from Deputy-Reeve Farrow, who had said that drains are repaired according to those who make the loud- est complaints. "If Farrow was in charge of drains, no one would get them fixed, re- gardless of how much they complained," and also that the spreading of gravel on township- roads had been: .completed, C.otincil Issoed four building permits and one permit for moving a building at the meet- ing.

Simmons: "Yes, and many of the things we are doing now are being planned two or three year ahead." Reeve Fisher: "I Mir* the two-year term is a good idea." So did Councillor .Delbridge, although he felt the staggered Deputy-Reeve Farrow said better gov't should result from the two-year term "but I'd like to add that I think there should be a ratepayers' meeting at the end of each year, at which council should make a report." Some doubted if more than a few ratepayers would attend, but most agreed it could be tried to determine what the reaction would he. Councillor Bailey: "I think we'd get better members and it would be better for the town if council could make plans over a two-year period." Wooden: "Already we've run into the problems of trying to make plans for another year, which we are not permitted to do under the present regula- tions," Councillor Musser said he was in favor of the idea. Reeve Fisher wondered what would happen if a member wished to resign at the end of one year, The clerk pointed out there were provisions in the regulations for appointment of a successor.

He suggested Councillor Taylor recommend ones he felt should be done next year. Councillor Farrow also re- plied, stating he felt the side- walk construction was being handled in an "efficient way", The committee, he said, met , early in the year to prepare its budget. Before proceeding with construction, it reviewed the requests which had been submitted to the clerk and toured the town to view the general conditions. "It's been the custom that if anyone has a sidewalk in bad repair, he should notify the clerk," said Farrow. "As far as walking along all the town sidewalks is concerned, the committee might decide to re- pair some walks which proper- ty owners did not want fixed for one reason or another." Chairman Bailey reported that almost all of the sidewalk budget of $3,000 had been spent by Monday night.

Council already has con- sidered the draft twice, once at a public meeting called by the planning board but at• tended by only a few rate- payers. Some minor changes have been made in the regu- lations as a result of these meetings.
