Town Council A special meeting of the Town Council was held on 'Monday evening with all members present. A By-Law was passed forbidding children under sixteen from loitering on the street after the hour of nine p.m. Mr. Arthur Thompson was ap- pointed special constable to enforce the provisions of the By-Law, which goes into effect immediately. The big problem with which the Council had to wrestle was--how to build two thousand dollar's worth of sidewalks with only one thousand dol- lars or.less available for the purpose. It has become the settled policy of the Council to quit drawing on next year's funds for this year's improve- ments. Each year for two or thre: years back, there has been a deficit-- not very large, but sufficient to render town financing difficult and discour- aging. The school requirements are permanently larger, and until . this year no provision has been made to meet the increased demand. = Even now with the larger assessment, there will be no surplus, by the time: out- standing debts are paid and the nec-} essary work is done on the streets and | elsewhere about town. If the ratepayers want sidewalks and permanent roadways some means will have to be. devised 'to raise the necessary money. With this idea in view, the Council will clean up the deficit, do such work on idewalks and streets as the funds i gi and then prepare a By-Law to be submit- ted to the ratepayers, to raise money i by debentures for the permanent im- provement of the streets. Then the people will decide the matter - for themselves. We heartily agree. with the'idea of keeping the town' free. of | debt, until thé people decide - hat the extra money shall be spent.
