when it found no one interested in
renting a farm the village and
Hullett township own near the
Blyth-Hullett waste disposal site.
Council had advertised the
land to rent but found no takers. An
earlier interested party who had
considered taking the land for
several years and putting it in
pasture had reconsidered. Council
decided to discuss the problem with
Hullett council and, if necessary,
try to find someone who would use
the land for free just to keep the
weeds down.*****
A by-law was passed by vil
lage council approving the hiring of
John Rinn as assistant to the village
foreman. Mr. Rinn was chosen
from 24 applicants and has been on
the job for several weeks.
