The public school board will 'r'equire
a levy of 9 mills which is a half mill
higiter than last year, while the High
School will need 5 mills which is one
mill less than last year. The rate
'struck last year was 48 mills. With
the increased amount of pavement on
next year the rate will -need to be .a
couple of mills higher, but in 1925,
certain debentures will be paid up and
rate should be,down considertbly
from that on. The miscellaneous ex-
penditure estimate. includes $r000.00 in-
terest i•n bank and fireman and official
phone charges at $35o. The council
might have got away with 43 mills but
would in all probability have meant
an, overdraft at the endof the year
and therefore a still higher rate next
year to pay interest and ind.ebtedness.
A. communication was read from A.
M. Crawford 'bf the Lions Club ask-
ing for the use of the park for Wed-
nesday, July r8th, It is the intention
of the Lions to hold a monster garden
.party for the benefit of the bowlers
and tennis club. Their request was
granted on motion of Coun. Smith
and Reeve Tipling.
A bylaw was passed authorizing the
construction of a concrete sidewalk on
Albert St. from Alice St. to Shuter
St,
The clerk was instructed to callefor
applications for a tax collector.
The matter of putting soldiers' nam-
es and names of battles in which the
Canadian boys took part, on the mem-
orial was discus,sed and referred back
to the WarlVlemorial Committeensug-
gesting that they publish the names
of the fallen beroes and any name
omitted may then be brought to ,the
attention of the committee before too
late to pet on the monument.
Messrs. John. Hanna, C. R. Wilkin-
son and A. M. Crawford appeared be-
fore the council asking that the town
have sewer connection' put in to the
bowling club. These gentlemen ex -
pleb -led that the bowlers intended to
spend a large amount of money on the
bowling' green and tenniscourts, mov-
ing- the club house to the east side of
ground next the park land placing a
couple of lavatories in 'same. On mo-
tion of Councillors Smith and Greer
their request was granted providing
they allow the public to use these lay -
atones on days of sports on the park.
Public lavatories at the park on "big
days" -has been a long felt want in
Witigham for years.
A drinking trough for horses is be-
ing placed. at the south side of the
ttiwtt hall. The trough will be an iron
basin in a cement casing and the wat-
er can be shut off in the basement of
the town hall for the winter. This
will be an improvement on the old ce-
ment bowls, and the reason it has been
,put.oir the street is so that teams will
'not" block traffic when stopping to get
water
Atender was read from Nr, A.
Hunt for the wiring of the town
and the inatter was shelved again, but
we. hope,it will be taken up and com-
pleted before the end of the year. It
seems to be a hard job to have this
much needed work pushed, however,
the estimates allowed for this to be
done this year. The mayor suggested
if the wiring be left over till autumn
that the superintendent and his staff
could do the work and the Utilities
Comtnission would give the town the
material at cost plus To per cent. '
A clause was added to the bylaw
With respect to the collectioii of taxes
whereby ratepayers •may pay any por-
tion of their taxes either by August
t5th, Sept, Isth, Nov. tsth, or Dec.
15t1i, and receive the proper 'discount

Fire Chief John Crandell is away on
a two month's holiday and Mr. John
Currie' has been appointed to act in
Ins stead.
The chief of, police asked for to be
allowed to secure metallic signs "No
Parking" so as to assist in keeping
autos on one side of John St. and
Diagonal Road, as it is there is only
room left for another auto -to pass be-
tween them. Several fanners have be-
come anxious owing to a rumor that
they would not be allowed to park
their autos on the main street on Sat-
urday nights. It is not the intention
of the council to be the means.of keep-
ing anyone away from Wingham, and
no hard and fast rules will be made.
Anything done to stop parking will
be' to clear one side of the narrow
streets so as to prevent possible acci-
dents.
The property committee will call for
tenders for the painting of the ex-
terior of the town hall. They will
also have the machine gun resurrected,
out of the ashes in the town hall and
it will probably receive a coat of paint
before making its bow once again to
the people of this vicinity in front of
the town hall.
It is probable that $175 will be sav-
ed from the assessor's salary as it has
been decided to have the court of re-
vision act on the second assessment
instead of having the assessor make a
new assessment.
