Councillor .Sharp agreed with this reply. Councillor Close said a knit- ting factory would be a sensible industry. "On the other hand," Councillor Sharp said, "property value might just as well be raised as lowered in the area," With Council now registering ma- jority approval to take over the old school building, Fred E. Willis, chairman of the Public School Board, appeared. Mr. Willis, first mentioning that Dr. P. L. Brady had also intended to appear as a representative of the Board but was away from town, ,briefly reviewed the Board's proposal and reasons behind it. However, Mr. Willis revealed at the conclusion of his outline, the Board regretted that it was unable at the present time to make this proposal definite, since investiga- tion of another proposal by the school property committee is still in process, he said.

"I doubt if we are 'obligated'," Mr. Willis replied. "Perhaps morally obligated at least," ,Councillor ,Tohn C. Crich amended. ".Perhaps," Mr. Willis countered, and added that the Board was work- ing out decisions regarding its obli- gations. "Are you gentlemen al- ways all of the same opinion?" he wondered. "We often end up that•way," Mayor McMaster asserted. "So do we," stated Mr. Willis. At this point controversy about the interpretation of 'obligation' in regard to the old school's disposal stook place. Following this, 'Mr. Willis said the property committee of the Board has, In its present in- vestigations, the wishes of other local ratepayers in mind and, in working on the other proposal, is seeking to take care of an obliga- tion there? • around the new school propert Several members of the 'Council b lieved there was not an learned ate need for- such a fence.

Councillors Sharp an Harvey Leslie agreed it was th P.U.C.'s responsibility. Following discussion of another matter, Clerk Wilson was asked to have the town solicitor write a let- ter to W. T. Teall, pointing out that fill from a used ear lot on Goderich St. East was washing in- to a ditch tile, obstructing drainage and causing complaints from near- by property owners.
