Clirnton clerk -treasurer
Cameron Proctor asked
Clinton Town council last
Monday night, as a dispUte
between the clerk and the
chief •crf.,4 police Lloyd
Westlake, flared to the sur-
face again.
Clerk Proctor had asked
council to pay him S150 legal
fees he and his wife Marie
incurred while defending a
careless driving charge that
Mr. Proctor claimed was laid
out of vindictiveness.
Mrs. Proctor was found not
guilty of the charge in court
two weeks ago. The incident
took place on Raglan Street.

- The -charge, Mr. Proc
told council, was laid in
vindictive manner and ha
caused great embarrassme
to hisla mily.
"What is the next trtAi
up charge that I'm going
have to hire a lawyer for?
Mr. Proctor asked.
A problem that the Clinto
Recreation Committee ha
thought it had postponed unt
next year - bubbled' to 'th
surface when a plastic pip
under the cracked ,aren
broke on shine 6, spilling i
brine solution onto the aren
surface.
The pipe is one of'thre
milesof piping embedded i
• cement under the floor to
form ‘ice in the arena during
the winter. With the break. a
decision must be made as to
whether the pipe and floor
can be patched until spring or
the whole floor would have to
be resurfaced before the
winter at an estimated cost of
S125.000.
Last Saturday, Clinton got
a taste of what it was like to
be a big town when her
streets were invaded by 000
for the Orangemen's Parade.
Wat Webster, 72. of Clinton
led the 400 marchers through
the town to the Community
Park where a smaller crowd
of people gathered to hear
guest speaker Rev. Harold
Patten of Plattsville and a fife
and drum competition.
Clinton's 70 -year-old
library will have to be
repaired by the tow'n, as the
county won't help. Clinton
council learned last night.
The building, in bad neea of
repair, is rented by the
county for use in the county
library system and the county
pays some cleaning and
repair bills.
