I3agey and Gray of Hagey, Gray and Plunkett, consulting engineers, were present and were introduced to the council by Cod. H. 13. Combe who deplored the state of the si streets in Clinton and suggeste that the council take into considera tion the advisability of making so permanent improvements, in th same way the cement walks wer M laid years ago. r. J. A. Ford als spoke briefly along the same line Col. Combe stated that for a tem this spring the trucks bringing ma- terial to the Knitting Factory, Mary street, or removing shipments of products could not came down th street, but had to stop at the corne and tote the stuff up and down son other way, a most inconvenient meth ad. the taking over'of the management of the recreation park for the sports seagon. Councillors Oook and Liver- more thought the council should keep dented of the park. It was for the, use of all citizens, and all should have equal access to it. The mayor said' he thought "a deputation from'- the sports committee would be present. to prefer their request. Chairman Crich reported some street grading and other repairs, such, as clearing of ditches, ete. On motion of Reeve Elliott and Councillor Paisley the tender of A. Eagleson for the painting of the, names of streets on street signs at a. cost of 60e each was accepted. Councillor Cook, chairman of the charity committee, suggested that there .night be work which ought to be clone in town and that there were de men in need of the work. He said d that anyone in need of a man should _ apply to Chief Stong and that men in me need of employment should leave e their names with hire. e It was decided that the council as a whole should tweet at 6.30 Wednes- day evening and make a general e survey of the streets, in order to be informed of their condition and needs.

Hagey and Gray each act dressed the council, explaining th their firm gave .estimates of vaviou sorts of roadbuilding, ranging i price from 75e to $3.00 per scalaryard, and also advertised for tenders which would bo opened by the coun til, and had a general oversight the building of the roads until fin ished. Their charge is 5' : of the total cost. Mr, Hagey said that this was the time to undertake such im provements as contractors and manu- facturers were reducing prices some- what and a good job could be done for considerably Iess than a few years ago. When the council came to discuss this matter the general idea was that something permanent should be done Councillor Paisley said that for twenty years or more the town had spent annually $800 or $900 build, ing up streets with gravel, which had now entirely disappeared; the money had been thrown away. He thought a start should be made to- wards getting them built up to stay. Even a short street a year would be something. He was in favor of lay- ing aside enough of the street allow- ance to handle the snow shovelling and incidental street work and using the balance to do something worth while, He thought, however, that the county engineer could do the engineering work necessary and at less cost. Reeve Elliott agreed, but thought that it would be wise not to go too deeply into it. Roadbuitding runs in- to a lot of money. Councillor. Langford said he had talked to a contractor a few weeks ago who offered to build such roads far 85e per yard, •Councillor Livermore thought the majority of the citizens would favor the building of permanent streets, and that after all the gravel which had been put an them he thought the streets should have a good foun- dation. Cotimcillor Crich said he would like to see the streets improved, but cal- led attention to the fact that the annual sum set aside for improve, meat would not go far in building permanent streets. The ratepayers would have, to be consulted and they would decide. Councillor Cook was in favor of improvement but said the council could not decide at this meeting. But the discussion was brought to a close by the carrying of a motion, moved by Councillor P'aieiey and se- conded by Reeve Elliott that the council call for tenders for a three- inch treated surface en a half mile of clay roadway, then it couldd be decid- ed what could be done. There are two ways of proceeding. A petition can be circulated amongst the property owners on a certain street, or the council could designate a certain street, advertising it, for twenty-one days. In the first case the signature .ef a majority of rate- payers, •carrying a •certain percentage of the value ef the property involv- ed, would authorize the council to go on. In • the second anise the council d as u could proceed in ease a majority dvd not enter protest against the . im- provement, Mayor Trewartha reported that a member of theCentral Sports Com- mittee had spoken bo hien regarding TUCKERSMITH Turner"e Church Community The worship period at the meeting of the Y.P,S. o Turner'sohurchon f Tuesday evening opened with the o hymn, "Take Time to be Holy," the scripture reading, the first psalm, and the repeating of the Lord's pray- er. The president, Mr. F. Johns, oc- cupied the chair, The debate, "Resolved: f< R s veil'Mat the Government Should Have Control of the Telegraph, 'Telephone and Radio Systems," created a good deal of - interest and the debaters brought out a great many points' on both sides...
