Mayor Chili presided. ,Mernb'- ers of council present were Reeve .Scott and Councillors Reid, Keating, Holmes and Smith, 'Minutes of ,the last itteeting we're. read 4iy 'Clerk D. H. Wilson and ap- proved. The finance report was read and adopted. Bylaw 41114 re tax rebate on farm, lands in the municipality, a bylaw required each year, was given its several readings and passed. A letter .from the Canadian Red Cross contained details about distri-' ''bution of surplus butter :purchased by the Dominion Government, In response to 'the letter a motion appointed the Mayor and Reeve as a committee to arrange with the Red Cross for the distribution of (butter. The Salvation Army will he asked to 'assist in the .distribution .locally. A. comnmmnieation from the (Ontario Department of ,Municipal Welfare stated that the suibsidy this year Hrh be 11% mills instead of one mill. In answer to an inquiry regarding use of the new town dump, it was ex- plai'ne:d that steel tired vehicles .can go right into the dump without 'dain'age and that rubber tired vehicles are for- bidden because they are in the habit of 'scattering rubbish, being unable to approach close enough. When asked if council knew the reason Why a 'recent music contest was not held in the new collegiate auditorium, it was learned that the council had no 'connection with such- -matters concerning the collegiate. Un- officially, the reason was understood to the 'that the sponsors of the festival were unwilling to pay the estimated cost of $1i0for heat and .light. As' the collegiate is partly supported 'by the ratepayers of the surrounding ,coun- try, the Board could not assuage the expense of granting use of the audi- torium,eexcept for collegiate .purposes. There was some discussion about the use of 115 or 30 vacant lots owned by the town either to reforest or grow vegetables 'by unemployed, The sale b • the town. was re Y pnrted. of the Howe's property on , Market street to Mr. P. E. Smith, of Milver- ton, who is now occupying it. The question of suing for tax ar- rears and tax sale were discussed. Report of the :finance committee: D. H. Wilson, $59.08; A. M.

At the request of the Dominion 'Government, the Red Cross has agreed to administer the distribution of surplus supplies of 'bu'tter, through a voucher system, to needy families throughout Canada. The details of the plan of distribution are now com- pleted, The distribution will ,be car- ried out, as already noted, by means of vouchers. The total numher of vouchers available for 'the Dominion has been divided among' the Provinces on a pro rata 'basis according to the number of families on relief. These vouchers are in denomina- tions of 1 pound (615%u), 2 ,pounds (310%a'), and 0 pounds (51%). After having been exchanged for butter, the vouchers, when presented by any retailer or Wholesaler, will be redeemed in cash by any 'branch of any lbank in Canada. Thereafter the banks will deal directly with the Do- minion Government .. No returnof stubs will be required. but spoiled and :unused vouchers should be returned to this office for forwarding to the Dominion Govern- ment, It has been agreed that 80%r of the vouchers are to be •distributed to families on relief and 20% to needy families not on relief. Two distinct types of vouchers covering these two purposes will, therefore, be used. With regard to vouchers for per- sons an relief, arrangements are be- ing made for distribution to be car- ried out by the Municipal Welfare Departments. The Dominion Govern- ment Inas agreed that any person who is on nelief and entitled to relief 'but- ter, may receive through these vouch- ers an additional supply of butter which will equal the amount, :pound far pound, at .present being received. With regard to vouchers for needy families who are not on relief, distri- bution will be made by Branches of the Red •Cross or other voi'untary health or welfare organizations, In Ontario the vouchers wi•il 'be chstri'b- uted to urban 'centres, an .5 pro rata basis according to "population, very raugh'ly 11 pound to 1115 of population. Dt should be 'borne in mind that this type of voucher is not to he distrib- uted to ,people on relief. The amount of butter dictri:buted at lone time to any ane family is a matter for local decision. In many instances it will prolbalbly he decided that distribution will he made in one lot to each fam- ily, rather than several •distri'b'utions. As' there is no Branch of Red ,Cross in your 'community, may we request that you confer with your Mayor or Reeve .and arrange with a suitable ongOnization to undertake this service and advise cis to whom the vouchers should be sent. These are now avail- able and will go 'forward as soon as we hear from you. As distribution of vouch'ers to .persons on relief will commence almost, immediately, and as it is •desirable'that all the vouchers be dis'tri'buted at one time, we would be pleased to hear :from you at your earliest convenience.
