There never was any mention of not having enough money when council .tendered for a new machine, he said, so why bring it up now? "But it's different once you see the tender," replied Mr. McBurney. "I don't like a deficit and I don't want to make it any bigger than we have to." "We slapuld have looked at this a lot more before we walked into it so damned blindly," said Mr. Morrison. "We didn't walk into anything," countered Mr. Scott. Finally after some further discussion, the attempt was made to rescind the original motion to buy the new grader, but it failed. However council did pass a motion to accept bids for the old grader, with tenders closing Oct. 2 for the meeting that night.
