Committee Reports
Chairman Agnew of the Parks
Committee presented his report sug.

levelled, that power roller be hired
to roll the park and a new screen
be placed at the baseball diamond.
Councillor Cook suggested that, top-
soil from the excavation for the

elling the southern park.
Street work was fully covered by
N. W. Trewartha in the absence of
chairman J. T. McKnight. A con-
versation with Mr. Irwin, road en-
gineer revealed that Clinton's streets
had come through the winter in the
best condition far many years. Mr.
Irwin had praised the work done last
year which was a credit to the chair-
man, F. Livermore. Mr. Trewartha
made the suggestion that the De-
