Coun. C. H. Epps felt that the de- tails of extra expenditures should be brought out. Reeve G. W. Nott said two mills had heen addc'I on account of the 1'ospitel. The County Council grant should be backed up by the torero. The furnace should have been started last spring and the bill hadn't been received yet. There was a loan to the park of two mills.

Corps was made last year when the girls formed platoons and also took an. active part in the 'Bugle Band. The same procedure will be followed this year. G. W. McGee is in charge of the Boys' division while Miss Helen Brown is looking after the girls' part in the day's events.
