Harry VariBergen and Constable George Robertson had been presented In a proper manner. When the letter was received, council decided that it should have come from the Chief and asked that the two men, be so notified. However, Wright said the Police Act stated the officers had acted in a proper manner in presenting the request and he indicated his committee would consider the matter when he returns from a holiday in Flor- ida. Wright gave some indication that he would favor pay boosts for the force. "We must remember this is SPeCial work and we demand More and more from our police," he said. "They're certainly entitled to a discussion on pay increases," he said. When asked if he agreed with the police recommendation that a fourth man be hired, Wright replied that he didn't think this was necessary. He pointed out the Ontario Police Commission had suggest- ed the town had adequate policing and Wright also suggested there were times when two men were on duty when one would suffice. "I don't think we need a man on the street all the time," he said. He agreed with Councillor Wooden's suggestion that per- haps it was more important to have a man on duty during the night than in the day time. Wright reported the police had been informed the pay boost re- quest could not be considered until the new year, but if in- creases were approved they would be retroactive to January 1, all his glory Saturday afternoon with treats for all the children arid free movies.
