I COUNCIi. HELD
SPECIAL SESSION --
The Village Council held a
special Meeting early last week, '
When the condition of Village
roads and the question- of a. night
watchman were, diScUssed..
ROOsm the; Village, which
have received hard surface treat•-.
rnent in recent...years, .have failed
to Sand' Up and for the raoSt Part
are, in bad shape.
The concensus of opinion seems
to be that -much of this break -Up- '
is due to the road•facking a pro-
per gravel foundation, or inade-
quate drainage, - •
The road south to the flax mill ..
is in' the worst condition and will,
be torn up and given a liberal
coat of gravel. In •other cases
gravel and, calcium will be used
for patching, and drainage work
will be done where deemed nee:
-Sary. •
Council discussed- the matter ,
of a4.13ight watclu-nan, but took • •
no• action at this meeting. The '^
stumbling block was the cost. of
such an officer, with a straight
appclintment representing at least
a two-millp.expenditure.
