A motion by Councillor Chris- tie and Stott to provide a grant of $300 was lost. - Voting for were Councillors Christie, Scott and Sharp, while opposed were Reeve Scoins, Councillors Les- lie, Close and Crich.

Aid Cubs, Brownies The property committee will consult with the Badminton ,,Club in an effort to have ac- commodation on the third floor of the Town Hall made avail- able to the Cubs and Brownies. For 20 years the - Badminton Club has had the space at $1(t a month, for six months each year, a delegation including Ross Hamilton and Ted South- gate told council. and use was made of it but one night a week. It was desired to use the space for Scouts, Cubs and Brownies from 7 until 8 one or two nights a week, and on occasions that would not conflict with the Bad- minton Club. Council was sympathetic and felt that more than 100 young people should not be denied the accommodation. The Clerk is to write the Badminton Club and the. property committee is to take such action as may be necessary to arrange a com- promise. Signs At Entrances A proposal advanced by the Chamber of Commerce for the erection of signs at the four en- trances to town "would have the town share the cost, Gordon Wright told council. Estimated cost was $75 each, plus erection. The signs, as proposed, would suggest the Scotch background of the town. Reeve Scoins won- dered if local industries would be interested in having their names on the signs and suggest- ed they would likely be willing to pay a reasonable amount for the advertising. Councillor Scott wondered what good the Signs would do. "What do you figure the signs are going to get you?" he ask- ed. And Councillor Crich said, "Advertise the town." The problem of highway reg- ulations,insofar as signs are concerneentered the discus- sion,. and the proposal was re- ferred back to the Chamber of Commerce for further investi- gation and to report back to council in_January. Action on an assessment arc - peal which inadvertently had not come before the court of re- vision two weeks ago, was de- ferred pending a report from the town assessor. The appeal concerned an increase m assess- ment from $1,175 to $1,350 on the property of Matt Armstrong.
