this committee, which has been ,give.p.

still, because it is felt•that priced sub-

of liridges and said he feared what,
woul_d happen if there should be an-
other flood next spring. There is much
work to be done on bridges and it
• seems almost impossible- to get men
to. work on them, as well as cement.
Ile, suggested that the incoming_Council
consider the purchase of a power •
mower to cut weeds along the roads.
Gordon Ort hoped that whiter roads
would be in better condition this
winter, since the job • of snowplowing
had been let out to three different men
in.different - -districts-rather than to

of .lowering taxes too much, since
