contribution to the town's prog-
ress, He would feel like a "free"
man now.

ed working with the Council and
he wished all the best in 1951.
Several'projeats should be car-
ried out in town, he thought, in-
cluding some permanent paving
each year, as well as sidewalks.
The polis should be open until
6 p.m., he felt, and some organi-
zation, such as the Chamber of
Commerce, might arrange to sup-
ply ears to get out the vote on
election day. `
He was rather sorry that the
rumour was spread around thet
he was CCF or a "Red"; per-
haps it was because of his red
hair, he said.
Reeve Elliott said he was sorry
that such a rumour had been
around. Ire regretted to see Aid.
Bartley leave as he had been
one of the best mem.bens Council
had had. He hoped he would
be back another year.
Ald, Garan thanked the mem••
bens for their cooperation during
his two years in. Council, He
wished the best to the 1951
Council. Ire warned that the
drainage at the perk should be
