Mr. Close asked for instructions regarding the sump pump in the Mc- Cabe house on Goderich street west. The owner had refused to give up the pump without a payment of $35. Council decided to make the pay- ment, as there appeared to be a dif- ference of opinion as to whether the town had not actually given the pump to the previous owner in lieu of a drain.
