After the reaciin ;• of the minutes of

houses; as. a new sourceof revenuer
On motion. of Councillors Bozell and
Paisley`tlis was filed.
The secretary of the L.O.B.A. wrote

On motlion of, Reeve Middleton and
Councillor Paisley the clerk was in-
structed to ' aefund 'the amount of
$1.95 for chair rental.
Mr. IVIeMixrray, Col Combe, Mr., J.
A. ,ford and Dr. Shaw 'all addressed
the council briefly regarding improve
-rents to the park, ,improvements'
which ;they considered. necessary 'be -
tote the coming'Old Boys' celebration:
Mr. McMurray said plans were, in
hand for building A new grandstand
at a cost of $700.or$800. ` He pointed
out that the committee was not ask-
ing the council ler a grant nor a
guarantee but eithey did wig the
council to stake the responsibility of
fitting up the park. >
Col, Combe pointed out. that the.
old grandstand was. unsafe and that
it was in the wrong place, 'anyway.
Something would have to be done to,
it and nothing would make it anything
but a disgrace. to, the, town: "When
the :old'' boys and' girls come ;back,
next summer," he : said,"there are
n
some old landmarks they will want
to -see :but the ,old grandstand at the
:Sark isnot one of thent" He said Dr,.
Shaw "had played baseball for a goon
many years in front of that: old stand'
and that he thought it was not in the
right position..
MT. Ford said lie thought the court-.
cul should, take theinitiative in prim-
ruing for the ooriiing celebration, that
at the meeting of the citizens it was
decided that the celebration should
be held and that was the council's
authority for •acting. The people.
would back 'vl7•'any action they took.
Dun Shaw said the old grandstand
had seen its. day, that it was unsafe
and was not in the proper position to
see the games, Quite frequently, "even
'wizen there was a good game on and
a laxge gate nobody used time gened-
stand: 'He'called the attention of the
couneil to the fact that: that body had
net had any eel -mese in malting the
change in the diamond, that had been
done at the expense of the Sports
Committee, the change being made'
because time players 'could not in the
old position see second base clearly
Chairman Jenkins of the, park coni
mittee thought the :old graridstantl
might be torn down and rebuilt at.a
less cost .than a new 'One 'but after,
some discussion it 'wee decided that
