MacEwan again advocated the formation of conetnie-: sion to take charge of • the cemetery. By this means, he said, continuity_ in improvement plans could be carried out. He spoke of what had been done daring the year. by the cemetery and parks committee, of which he is chair- man. He denied a rumor to the effect that the increase in this year's tax - rate was on account of the rebuilding of the Park House. He said if anyone cared to inspect 'the. Park House and gee -how it had been improvet he would realize that it was an asset to the - town. With regard to County- affairs • he said he believed the present Collet House .could be renovated and refurn- ished to serve the purposes of the law • courts and a new Wilding ,ceuld be erected for Ceunty purposes. .If 'the . present Court House were -torn down. the stone work-sliOuld- be secured for - the building of a meusolehm ,at the Cemetery...

R. G. Sanderson, chairman of the • finance committee, dealt in detail with the Counters 'financial affair's, thanked those wile had voted for him for three yeeee, and said he would not be a candidate this year.
