Housing Corporation said that
some of its personnel will be in
contact with the town in regard
to council's request for another
survey for low-rental housing,
Lloyd-Truax Limited wrote
council stating that the firm
will vacate the old CPR freight
sheds by the end of the month.
The park board is anxious to
have the old buildings removed.
The door company has been us-
ing the buildings for storage.
COMMITTEES
Councillor Harold Wild said,
"Every council member should
be compelled to be chairman
of the public works committee
for one year -- it's a real edu-
cation." He was remarking on
the complaints and telephone
calls received from ratepayers
in regard to problems or imag-
ined problems with streets. He
concluded by saying that side-
walk repair on Josephine and
Victoria Streets will get under-
way before too long.
BELGRAVE
Week-end visitors with Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Bacon were Mr.
and Mrs. Maurice St. Marie and
Pamela, of Brantford.
Mr. and Mrs. Del Nixon and
Cindy of Stratford were holiday
visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Ted

Swatridge.
Lion "Casey" Casemore con-
ducted the draw for the color
TV set which was won by Eld-
red Thompson of R. R. 1 Dor-
chester.
Councillor Williams said he
felt the pollution problem at
the river is no longer serious,
as the pollution source has been
discovered. He said that un-
fortunately it takes about 10
days to get a report on the
quality of samples sent to the
County Health Unit, which is
too long at this time of year.
Mrs. Bennett said that new
drapes for the council chamber
have been purchased but have
not been installed. They will
cost $110.00 plus track and in-
stallation charges. She said
that several organizations that
use the room have offered to
help defray the cost. She sug-
gested these groups be notified.
Mrs. Bennett also said that
there has been no welfare pay-
ments during the past month.
She complimented the town
men on their efforts in watering
the main street flower pots,
stating the flowers have stood
up well during the hot, dry
weather.
Deputy Reeve Jack Alexan-
der complimented the fire de-
partment for the way it operat-
ed during the fire at Beaver
Lumber. The Mayor said the
men were well directed and de-
serve to be commended for
their efforts. Mr. Alexander
told council that 25 lines of
hose were in use and that wa-
ter pressure was good at all
times. As a result of the fire
the department will require
some new hose as several reels
failed and will have to be re-
placed. All other equipment
at the fire operated exception-
ally well, he said. The dep-
uty reeve pointed out that a
fire of this size is costly and
can hit the budget pretty hard.
He said the bill from surround-
ing departments may reach $1,-
500.
Councillor Bateson told
council that the Recreation
Committee held an afternoon
meeting which he could not at-
tend, and he understood that
the children will be taken by
bus to Teeswater for swimming
instruction.
OTHER BUSINESS
Council decided to give M.
Brown a vacancy rebate on his
1965 taxes on his Alfred Street
factory building. He will also
be notified that this cannot be
done in 1966 as the Act has
been changed.
The Mayor reported that all
tax arrears have been paid by
those who were three years be-
hind, except two business tax
assessments.
Council proclaimed August
1st as a Civic Holiday and will
hold the next council meeting
on August 2nd.
Three building permits for
a house and two garages were
approved. They totalled $20, -
000.
Deputy Reeve Alexander
wanted to know how many dog
tags have been sold. Clerk
Renwick stated 68 have been
sold. Mr. Alexander said there
are 250 dogs in town. He then
said one ratepayer has a stray
dog locked up .in his garage and
wanted to know what to do with
it. He was informed that the
town foreman could pick the
animal up and turn it over to
the local veterinarian, who
would keep it for three days be-
fore it is destroyed.
