OUR TOWN COUNCIL. a.
The town council talked at much
length,' wi 6
and with considerable heat at
i tern is
n a on Monday evening and the
cemetery superintendency was the
cause thereof pretty much.
In February the council offered to.
re-engage the superiILttlnelent of 1913
at his old salary, but stipulated
that if his services were required
about the town hall in the winter
months, to shovel snow, look after
the scales, etc.,t
that he should b
o e
vi
a lable without a lout extra charge. But
the. superintendent
a ill.
b i ed at'shovel-
ing snow afloat the town hall
without being paid for it and
turned down the offer, The counpil
then decided to advertise for tenders,
stating salary and duties, There was
one application but the council dead-
locked on accepting it and the up-
shot of it all was that the old care-
taker was re-engaged but on the con-
ditions which he neat rejected.
A petition was received from the
jewelers and booksellers, with one
exception, asking that an early closing
bylaw be passed to include their lin-
es .01 trade. After talking; the mat-
ter over it was decided to rescind
the present bylaws governing certain
lines of business and make one bylaw
applicable to all.
