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. WILLIS CI-IUROH.
