Iwas held a
Y
morning when the members took the

Master; Reeve, Norman Se o i n s;

forth District High School Board. A
striking committee was named of
Mayor McMaster, Councillors Close
and Christie.
Council met again at 8 p.m, for
the regular January meeting with
Mayor McMaster presiding. '
Mayor McMaster gave a brief ex-
planation of the minutes of the De-
cember meeting for the benefit of
new members of council. He said the
drainage survey made in the fall had
hardly anything on drains and was
mostly about sewage plans which the
town is not likely to 'be interested in
for some years. He proposed to have
the firm come up again and make
the survey as agreed upon, charting
existing drains.
A toy firm which was inquiring
about the Hesky plant -proposed to
employ only about 15 girls and a
few boys at low wages. Ile thought
it was a waste of such a large build-
ing if a purchaser could ,be found
employing 50 to 100 people, There
was a prospect of getting a textile
firm.
Councillor Crich suggested that
bills for supplies be signed by offi-
cial ordering same.
Councillor Christie inquired if any
ruling had been made in regard to
tree blown down on West William
street. Mayor McMaster said there
is nothing definite yet.
It was decided to find out if a
suitable length of hose could be ob-
tained from the P.U.C. for the use
of the scavenger,
Alvin Hunter appeared before
council to. ask for a street light op-
posite his home on East William St.,
near the community centre, also that
police be given authority to forbid
parking in front of his driveway.
"I have had no admission to my pro-
perty at nights for the past three
years," Mr. Hunter said. Because his
front yard is in shadow the •public
has been using it as a convenience
instead of the rest room in the com-
munity centre. Council promised to
see about a light and No Parking
signs.
A routine request from the
was granted, to supply water to
Clarence Dewar's new house in Har-
purhey.
A building permit was granted to
Frank Kling for erection of new
front on his store, also temporary
wooden front on sidewalk, cost
$1000.
Finance committee was given au-
thority to continue the tax prepay-
ment plan. It was explained this pays
4 per cent interest to the end of
September.
J. E. Keating and 3. A. Stewart
were re -appointed members of the
community centre board for a one-
year term.
Asked if the town will take over
the .community centre this year,
Mayor McMaster said the board is
making a good job of it, and there
is still work to be done such as put-
ting in a floor. Councillor Christie
added that insulating under the
roof is another project to be done.
Reeve Scoins said he would like
to see financial reports published.
The Mayor stated a report had been
published each year.
The annual grant of $40 was made
to the Salvation Army.
Firemen's insurance coverage was
increased to $4000. Councillor Crich
asked which was best, being under
the Workmen's Compensation or an
Insurance Company. Town Clerk
Wilson explained that the awards
are made in all cases by the Board
and the company snakes payment.
Reeve Scoins suggested that a copy
of the 'policy be loaned to Fire Chief

firemen.
It was decided to advertise again
for an assessor at a. salary of $600.
