Mr. James suggested that signs should be posted, that recycling materials must be cleaned and only newsprint will be accepted in the paper bin. They also requested that No Trespassing signs be posted as people are dumping at unauthoriz­ ed times. Council advised Mr. Goll to unlock the gate at 9 a.m. when Mr. James arrives at the site. He should then go to pick up the tractor as at the end of the day. He should leave with the tractor at 4:45 and close the gate at 5:00 p.m. Mr. James requested a key for the dump. Council mentioned that Mr. James had been hired for the recycling bin, while Mr. Goll was hired to look after the remainder of the garbage and help people back up to the face of the site. The attendants were asked how the proceeds from scrap steel that are kept in a separate bin and sold to a company in London are divided. The gentlemen advised that the proceeds are split 50-50 between Mr. James and Mr. Goll. Reeve Fraser informed the at­ tendants that council was pleased with their work and told them to keep it up. The progress at Brown’s Bridge was discussed, as was the construc­ tion on the 7th Concession.
