J. Leokie addreoeed the Connell relative
to the building of a small dam in the
river below the irou bridge with a view of
improving the appearance of the river
and affording boating laoilihieo and op.
portuuitiea for bathing and possibly
make a place for skating and outing to
the Winter. A grant by the town would
be a proper thing, he thought. The work
if undertaken, would have to be done in
low water and would poet from $120 to
$150.
Oouuoillor James asked what the
properties immediately benefitted would
pay toward it ?
Mt, Leokie Bald he had not ooneidered
that side of the gaeation. From 2 to 4
feet of water would be neoesoary. The
dam should be 3 feet high.
Reeve Henderson thought it would be
a luxury. The work of cleaning out the
river might be done by a bee. Dam
might be placed at boundary of Mre,
Coaeley'e property.
Jas. Fox approved of the plan and
thought the pebuo generally would share
iu benefit. Some people had already
agreed to aid by private eubecription.

Jones that the Finance Committee make
an examination of the site, martian the
coat and report at a later date,
Oounoillor Jones said it was 0new
move and bee people not reeidente by the
river Should bo asked for their opinion.
If there was money to spare the foot.
bridge asked for should be baht,

money on a dam when a footbridge wee
pressed for. It is wasting time to seek
