the animal. •

C. G. Middleton was asked to add
to the discussion and said he favored
the suggestion of Reeve Trewartha.
He suggested that a delegation should
see the Municipal Department and
then report back at a later meeting.
In his opinion the -rural and urban
men will eventually get together as
each depends upon the other for help
and support.
The delegation appointed consists
of Messrs Hetherington, Mawhinney,
Sanders, Trewartha, Brown a n d
