John Connell, vrho has heel] complaining of the pollution of his • :land from the said drain, threaten- ing a st,it unless something was done to abate the nuisance, :}iter • some discussion a motion was passed in -whom structing the clerk to notify' real- dents oe Mary street who are usingAfter Mary street drain as an outlet to :sever connections with sante at once. it was felt that this was a some- what summary decision but as the matter had been hanging fire so long the majority thought it Netter to bring it to the point, A request was read from the lift- tie Band asking a grant of $13 for paant of their the cleaningand repairing, Instruments, which was granted.

Mr, Miller -thought it would be a good move, His idea,, was that the town should buy out the present dealer ,end so not put the town in competition with a citizen. A motion at this juncture re the subutitting of a by- law ,authorizing a municipal coalyard was presented but was . later uiitfi- drawn, Councillor Sheppard thought if they went into the business at all a coo- mittee should, be appointed who would have full authority to. handle the matter under the 'Present unusual conditions. Reeve Ford agreed and thought a committee should be appointed, Councillor Wiltse thought the coon- all was treading dangerous ground in b g undertaking a scheme of this kind, He cited the case of London, which he said Nati not made much of a success of a like venture, ]fa said he, would vote against such a motion but the did not wibh to be mist,nder- stead as being utterly opposed to municipal., ownership of coalyards if such could be managed successfully.
