spring; some snow plowing and
removal had been done. Two clog, ly put at their disposal and as
taxes still unpaid will be placed a result our stock at the Gen -
for collection. The new grader I eva and Marseilles warehouses
is doing good work, town em-• is depleted. 'Shipments have al-
ready gone from the Ontario
Division and another is 'packed
ready for shipment the end of
the week. We are writing to
ask you to please send your
finished 'articles to the Division
warehouse as soon as possible
so that more may be packed for
overseas. 'In order to "'et furth-
er supplies into Hungary we
must get them into aur 'ware-
houses in Europe. The need is
for infants' and children's warm
clothing, underwear, nightwear,
quilts and with special emphasis
on all knitted articles. One
tiring to bear in .mind is the ne-
cessity to get this done with ex-
pediency 'because of the great
and dire need",
ployees report, The grader is on
a rental basis of $100 a month,
to be applied on purchase price
of $3500 if 1957 •council decide
to buy it.
Property committee reported
the wing had been put on the
new grader and one round can
clear streets. Work has started
on the front of the town hall,
!Mr. Hugill having begun closing
in the front stairs on ,Saturday.
Repairs had [been made at the
Bushie house, Councillor Kellar
thought the garage roof should
have been made high enough to
store the grader. Councillors
thought the roof could still be
raised.
Councillor 'Leslie reported
the sewerage disposal plant
functioning smoothly, a trap
had been installed to prevent a
repetition of water backing up
into the big tank, also a retain-
ing wall 14 inches high had
been built.
Councillor Scott was informed
that the Wright & Leybnrn
piece of land east of the dispo-
sal plant will be paid for by the
town, about $150. This is ac-
cording to the original agree-
ment,
Peeve Scoins reported one
new application for relief.
Mayor McMaster read a letter
from W. C. Oke, James Mc-
Donald and E. Munro asking
for a share of town insurance
business or a share of commis-
sions as in some towns where
insurance is all 'b r o k e r ed
through one office. A motion
sponsored by +Reeve Scoins that
all insurance come due Nov. 1st
to save borrowing for premi-
ums, was left over to next year
iI3oxing day will be proclaimed
for Wed., 'Dec. 20th.
The usual grant of $125 was
made to the Lions Club for
park maintenance.
C. 51. Smith was re -appointed
to S e a f or th District I'Iigh
School board for 1957-58.
Reeve Scoins suggested a by-
law for licensing trailers in
town, which caused discussion.
If a trailer is on wheels it can
be licensed and if wheels are
removed it can be assessed. The
trouble seemed to be in the past
that the wheels were removed
or put back on according to the
whims of the owner. One trailer
is at present assessed, another
trailer sends children to school.
It was claimed that some pupils
are charged '$50 annually to at-
tend the local school and others
pay $100.00 if non resident.
At the close of the meeting
Councillor Jack !Kellar moved
a vote of thanks from the coun-
cil to retiring councillor E. H.
Close who has served for ten
years. Mr. Close said he had got
lots of abuse but had always
done what he believed fair and
square and played no favorites,
He thanked council for their
kindness.
