Jackson in the chair. c The Public school' estimates amounting to $10;500, -were presented. These were cut down by balance on hand,fees and grants to $7,123. A letter was received from the sec- retary of the Collegiate bard ex- plaining that the $3;000 item: in their estimates was for necessary equip- ment fors the new school. Mayor Jackson said he. had. been talking to the chairman of the board and found that the item was for permanent equipment and should s t come out of current revenues, that debentures would -have to be issued for. it. The Miller Hardware Co. wrote aslang_permission to place a gasoline tank a the rear of their store, on private property. Mayor Jackson said. that as the tank would be on private property the couleil had, nothing to say about it, but he thought the fire niarshall would have to be consulted. The secretary of the town band sent in. an itemized statement of re- ceipts and' expenditures for last year, asking for suitable grant this year, and the secretary of the Horticultural Society asked a grant of $100. As both these item's were taken care of in the estimates no further action was taken. A Letter was. read from W. Bry- done,' town solicitor, regarding the natter of Public., Utility' surpluses, which have been under discussion for some weeks. At the conclusion of the reading Reeve Trewartha. and Councillor Peisiey -made' 91:Motion' that a copy of the letter be given to the Public Utilities Commission, ac- companied by a request that the sur- plus be handed over to the town treasurer, which was carried. Mr?.' D. Kay sent notice that he would app@ai against his assessment but gave no reason for doing so. This was laid over until reasons were given. Messrs. Boss and' Brazier, who have the contract for paving the highway from Clinton to where the contract left off last fall, were pre- sent and Mr. Brazier addressed the council on -the paving of Huron street from the Royal Bank corner to the town limits, to meet the highway. Mayor Jackson said.. if the council' thought well of the scheme it . would have tc be taken up at once, as the nvork 'would start at this end. The members of the council without ex ception, favored the work being done at once. `Councillor Paisley, as ehair- eian of the finance committee, thought the outlay to put this road into proper shape this .year -would pay the interest on the cost and that a similar outlay night be necessary next year. Chairfnan Langford said he had not been in favor of paving until a few days ago but lie believed it would be money saved in the end. There would be considerable saving in tarvia each year; Councillors Liv- ermore, Cureell, Holmes and Thomp- sonall spoke . in favor of paving. Councillor I.-Iolmes said he had been converted to the idea while driving over the street on Sunday with some friends. The understanding • is that the work will cost approximately, $12,000, half of which will be Haid by. the Provincial Highway Department. Councillors Livermore and 'Currell moved a resolution that arrange- ments be made with the highways, Department for -the paving and a special meeting of the council twill be called,to arrange necessary 'de- tails. 0u motion of : Councillor Paisley and Reeve Trewartha the tax rate for 1927 was fixed at forty-five mills, and on motion of Councillors' Thompson and Holmes bylaw No. 5, to levy and collect the sum ,of $37,- 575,000 for current expenses was read three tines and passed. On motion, of Councillors Ilolmes' and Curren,,. .the property committee; wasauthorized to acquire the vacant property between the Commercial garage and Mary street, to be used as a.parking ground and as a place i'or `a band stand, and to put it into proper condition. Chairman,1?angford ` of the street committee recomniended that sharp corners be trimmed off streets and that shale and tarvia-patch be pro- cured for unending . streets. On dis- cussion it was decided to use shale over the tarvia this year, instead of sand, which Councillor- Paisley said was "put On one day and swept off the :next;' • Op motion of Councillors Langford' and Livermorethe cemetery coaunit- c y tee 'was authorized to order er 1 a pow mower for the cemetery at a cost of $375.00 but not to he paid for until it was tried and, found satisfactory. Councillors Paisley and Langford made is Motion that the nightwatch- man be asked to cone and assist Chief Stong, on Horse 'Show Day. • The mas,o• said ha thought some consideration should be given to the matter of providing . compensation for workmen employed ,by the con potation, " Councillors' Thompson, and ,Paisley,. moved that the•,tiuie tor handing in tax -roll be extended to May 1st and, that the ccilbector ,be instructed to vise legal .means if. necessary, Le col- leer ill ar•retirs of.ta'xes Ifollewiiig ie• the financial: report for. the month: Street ':Account Pay Sheet .. $26,`'7 S.
