A request frons Samuel Lobb 1ski ig that pool room license be transferred to him was passed.

Agnew remarked it is nota question of being clisatisfied with the nnen at present' holding the positions, but oth- er ratepayers' are entitled to apply and under the present system they haven''t much chance of doing so: If the present office holders have given satisfaction, their applications would be considered along with the rest and there is no reason why they would bo turned down, Then Reeve Trewartha introduced a motion that the council invite Oen- stable McCoy to address the next I meeting•.
