Mr. Cousins reported that the executive and building com- mittees had met with the archi- tects and contractors on Thurs- day when delays in the progress of the structure were discussed.

Wingharri Advance-Ti Town Lot Sold For Car Wash Following the last session of council on April 4th, J. C. McIntyre has investigated an often by the town council to sell him a piece of property be- hind the Joe Kerr building on Josephine St. Mr. McIntyre had requested permission to build a coin-operated car wash on Al- fred Street at the last meeting, but council suggested the land at the south end of town. An estimated price of $3, 000 was offered by council for the land. This was turned down by Mr. McIntyre who, at a special ses- sion of council on Tuesday night offered, by letter, $2,000 for the property. After discussing the offer, council decided to accept the $2, 000. They also agreed to bring a water line to the prop- erty and to open up and grade a necessary road. Mr. McIntyre will be required to look after the cost of drainage. The property is an area which has been created by sani- tary land fill, and is now be- coming available for use. The water line will be of such a size that it can service other lots in the immediate vicinity. At the same session of coun- cil the town fathers agreed to supply top soil to George Guest, Harry Bridges and Merril Cante- lon to be spread by the three property owners on town land behind their Diagonal St.homes, The land in question is at the top of an embankment which is town property and is most un- sightly. A by-law was passed, cov- ering the purchase of the De- partment of Highways patrol de- pot on Albert Street, and stipu- lated the property would be used for municipal affairs only. SEWAGE PETITION Council was in receipt of a petition from ratepayers on the north side of the river for the installation of sanitary sewers. Council discussed the matter at some length and decided to take no action until a meeting of the ratepayers could beheld, at which time it was hoped to review the costs with the en- gineer, Councillor Callan suggested that in the light of the prob- lems being faced by the town in regard to school financing the matter should be held in abey- ance until the town can see where it is going. Councillor Bennett suggested that council should give con- sideration to a tree-planting program as a Centennial pro- ject. Deputy Reeve Alexander ask- ed if dogs could be kept tied up for 12 months of the year. He stated that several mothers are • having to take their small child- ren to school because dogs have become such a nuisance in the school area. The subject was debated briefly and left over un- til the next regular meeting of council, at which time Coun- cillor Callan suggested that council should invite Police Chief Miller to outline the prob- lems regarding dog control.
