adjusted accordingly.
However, " the motion was
supported by only
MacGregor, Hall and
Humphreys.
A subsequent motion to
approve only the tender for
the Waterloo and
Marlborough St. projects
was passed with MacGregor
and •Humphreys voting in
opposition.
Then a motion was
presented to approved the
tender for the paving and
this resulted in a tie with
MacGregor, Hall and
Humphreys in support and
Mickle, Chapman and Fuller
in opposition. Josephson
abstained.
Shaw, noting that the
procedural policy dictated
that he vote in the negative
to defeat the motion, in the
tie situation said he was
doing so "with regret."
That left the paving
contract virtually in limbo
and as council concluded the
works committee report
without arty further action,
Shaw told his cohorts that in
effect they had deleted
paving for this year and he '
termed R "one of the
stupidest things" they had
done.
He said the proposed
budget increase of two
percent was reasonable, but
so was five percent, which
would have been the in-
crease with the paving in-
cluded.
He opined it was cutting
out a "paltry sum of money"
and told members it was
"reactionary thinking" and
not demonstrating the policy
of progress that the town had
demonstrated in the past.
His final comment was
that it was a "retrograde
step."
When the discussion got
back to the budget after
further committee reports,
Mickle said he had heard the
