mittee of last year's council, Charles

streets committee, said that Wing-
ham's streets now compare favourably
with those of other towns. He said

helping to relieve congestion on the
main street, and that the two-hour

solved by putting a by-pass through
A Scott and Minnie Streets and turtling g it over to the county council as a
county road.
Earl Hamilton said that he had to
be away from town quite a lot because
of business and suggestde that others
were better qualified than himself.

p would run or not.
Howard Meehan said that he would
like to see the old council back again,
and that he had not yet made up his
mind about running for office. Barry

stead and Miles Overend,
