Holmes, Livermore; Nediger, Paisley, Johnston, Walker and' Cook. • Following the reading of the min- utes communica- tions of revious meeting, mmunica o tions were read. The Richmond Hos- iery in their- communication stated they had brought in new machinery, thereby creating employment, and requested an extension of time -on the low tax rate. This matter was referred to the town solicitor, Mr. Fingland. The•Hospital Aid requested exemp- tion from rent for the town hall on Coronation Day. On motion of Wal- ker and Cook the exemptionwas granted. A delegation from the Collegiate Institute Board consisting of Messrs. F. Fingland, A. E. Paterson and A. T. Cooper, then addressed council re- garding sidewalk P , from William to a Raglan streets, bringing out the nec- cessity for such an improvement. Considerable discussion took place regarding this work. Before a side- walk could be laid a retaining wall would have to be built, involving con- siderable work and expense. The street committee together with the High School property committee will survey the property in question and present a report as to the feasibility of putting in a retaining wall. The chairman of the parks commit- tee reported on the work that had been done, and suggested that Mary street park be fixed up fora park- ing lot for the Saturday night trade. It was brought out in the discussion which followed that people living in town were bringing !their cars up town early in order to get a good parking space, leaving the cars in the same location all evening. This causes out-of-town patrons sone in- convenience in getting near the stores with their cars to deliver produce. Reeve Livermore in presenting his report of the fire and water coin- mittee stated that cars were park- ing opposite hydrants and in front of the theatre, contrary to law. In case of fire this would prove a ser- ious handicap, and presents a prob- lem on Saturday nights when park- ing space is limited.

This is a junior organization to the Scouts and is made up of boys from 8 to 12 years of. age. Thirty-one boys were on hand and there are more to come. While the leaders would rather have a smaller number to start with, too many is better than none at all and every effort will be made to handle all to advantage. On Friday evening the members of the Lions club `were guests of the Scouts at their meeting. -Games were played and the . boys demonstrated parts of their work such as signal- ling, ' first aid and knotting.
