"They jump into these thingsand then come to eoune]l," Councillor Kellar said. "The town is indebted to pub- lic spirited 'citizens who have helped with their time and en- ergy," Mayor MciVlaster said. It was stated that 'the town would lose considerable if it tried to help relieve the back- ers of (the arena notes by sell- ing government bonds owned by rSOafortih, because bonds had dropped ten points when inter- est rates were increased by the Bank of Canada. !Reeve Scorns said he had heard that the floor in the Go -a- erial arena has heaved !badly and will have to be rebuilt be- fore another season. A committee consisting of Councillors Ball, (Christie, Kellar and Reeve Scorns was named to inquire into the operation of mnnieipal cemeteries in other towns. A suggestion of 'Councillor Turnbull :that a: meeting of members of local cemetery boards and others interested be arranged to determine the ap- proximate interest in Maitland - hank cemetery of Seaforth, Tuckersmith and +McKillop, may carried out. Mayor McMaster said.Mc- Killop township would be :com- pelled to take over operation of the cemetery if it is abandoned by !Northside United Church. However he thought the three councils and churches should make it a eommunity affair. Town Clerk Wilson said the Act provides that a municipality ran operate a cemetery 'by .ap- pointing a board. Reeve ,Scorns thought the pre- sent board is not charging enough to cover expenses. If thetown operates it they will have to raise prices, or the •result would be the same. While giving a report on a municipal meeting at ,Goderich last .week, Town Cleekt -: Wilson predicted a rate this year 4 or 5 trills Iower on residential pro- perty compared to business ;pro- perty, as a result of the new Ontario grants to municipalities. The June meeting of council was set for Thursday, June 13.
