41 services in this distance and the

which is overburdening the. trans

Lightning arresters will also be
placed on the systepi to reduce the
probabilities of interruptions and
switches will be installed for the pur
pose of zoning the system, so that
when work is being carried on in ohe
quarter of the village the remaining
sections will still have power avail
able. The total cost is estimated at
from $375 to $4§0.
Council was advised that the Med
ical Health Officer recommended the
introduction of a garbage collection
system. It was pointed out that if 25
or 30., parties at least were interested,
with a very small weekly fee, the
collection and disposal of garbage
would be possible. . ?
A School Board delegation waited
on the Council regarding supplying
the school with-water. The water is
being supplied from the artesian well
at Mr. Wm. McKenzie’s, but the sup
ply is pumped into a tank in the
school and becomes warm and un
suitable for drinking purposes- Council
decided" on a flat rate of $30.00 per
annum in this case, if the-Board ap
proves of the cost.
