A number of appeals of the Court of Revision were disposed of and the Court de- clared closed. The Clerk read the minutes of the previous meeting which were adopted as read. Due to the fact that Mr. Empey, engineer of the township 01 Hibbert, is confined to his room, the Clerk was author- ized by resolution to prepare a by- law appointing Mr. R. W. Code as Mr. Empey's assistant. The council received tenders for the erection of a shed for the township road grader. There were three tenders and after considering the tenders it was de- cided to let the contract to Angus McKaig, his tender being the lowest of any tender.
