Councillors decided that the thew' could afford to water the flowers' in the flowerpots—if soniebody else planted them. The dontroversey about flower- pots arose last week at the regular session of council, while estimates were being discussed for 1956. With a 9-mill jump in taxes in prospect, Councillors decided that 'flowerpots were a luxury the town couhlat afford, .,-An 'ttem of $500,, eevering• cost of planting. and !Watering the'lloWeriobis,'Was'Struck frOm 'the estimates, as council de- bided that stern economy measures were 'necessary • to cope with the \ rising -Min rate. Since that time a number of citi- zens haVe complained to the mayor about the prospects of Josephine Street Without flowerpots. Harry Merkley, president of the Wing- ham Btishiese Association, even offered the services of his organi- Ketc' in' getting the pots planted, and metlabere of the Women's In- stitute have volunteered their ser- vices in the same cause. The dif- ficulty heel been in watering the flowers, since it must be done regularly and few of the people on the math street have the equip- ment. The cburicil's decision to pay for the watering of the 'flowers was welcomed by Mr. Merkley. 'The main expense of the flowerpots— buying the pots, having the brac- kets made and put up—is over." he said. "It seems silly to not use them now." Mr. Merkley said that business-, men would help get the pots plant- d this year, but that they expect the town to bear the expense in future, as they have in the past, H. P.
