which had originard in various
town offices, which he said he
had picked tip in the dump. He
suggested that papers of a con-
fidential nature should be burn-
ed in the stove in the town hall
basement. Council was some-
what startled by the revelation
and quickly agreed with Mr .
Carter's suggestion.
Reeve Jack Alexander said 1
that renovations to the ladies' '
waiting room in.the town hall
had been completed and were
satisfactory.
Deputy Reeve Harold, Wild,
speaking for the cemetery and
fire committee, reported that a
new door is needed on the fire
hall. • He 'also indicated that

tion this year to the purchase qf
more land for the cemetery. He
recommended a six per cent •
increase for cemetery Workers.

arena -recreation board will\be

ments are progressing with the
Department of Highways for.the

ject will be charged to the town
