day • morning, which ceremony
'. took: place :onthe stroke of
tWelvre' noon;.
Council• sat for a half:hour ,b-
for adjourning. until .a week
from. Monday, bd'ue to the fact
that Reeve `•J. C. MeNab is in
attendance all week at County
Council: •
In winding up the business of

A. communication .was received
from. the 1 E.P C': noting a credit,
'of $125, due to the Water'; System
and a . credit of ' $419 :due the town.
• from street lighting charge's._.
These rebates represent power at:
cost : for municipal services,:: and
coming on the 'heels of a' grist of

Robertson to 'remark '.'`.That, we

• Indications pointed :to the, mun-
icipality being responsible for the

A request from . the District
High 'Sehool Board :to continue to

Diiseuss Remuneration,
Before' the Board adjourned the
question,_ arose of remuneration

at some. , expense; over the year
well:
Reeve ' McNab • stated that. h
