Mayor Reid explained in some de- tail about the advantages to the town by having a surplus. Councillor W. T. Teall said it had been a pleasure to be a member of council the past two years. He had helped with the dumping situation and with housing. He believed it wise to purchase the eight acres of land at the west side of town, a very fine sight. When council found they had struck a dead end this year re hous- ing, he had sponsored a motion that veterans could purchase these lots at a nominal fee, and he hoped some will take advantage. "I don't think many realize how easy financially it is for them to build hoaxes," he said. • Dr, Brady, Medical Officer, of Health, commended the county coun- cil for adopting the new health unit. It would be more efficient.
