By-law No. 8 forbids and party or parties climbing or defacing in any way the poles of the hydro system of the village, or tacking on cards or post ers as .the driving of tacks or nails are a danger to the linemen. The reeve also asked that a motion be passed instructing the clerk to write to McEwan Bros., at Goderich, re questing them to take immediate steps to clean up the old salt well property as this was a dangerous fire menace to the village. It was moved by Petty and seconded by Priest that this be done and immed iate steps be taken to have this eye sore of the village cleaned up, as a spark from a railway engine at a dry time would set this mass on fire and in case of a strong wind would damage the village.
