W. A. Parish, an Ajax resident, questioned the fact that such an important agreement should be signed without the people of Ajax knowing its contents, and Mr. Parish said that he thought .the agreement should be published so that everyone could read it and . express opinions and possibly stir up some discussion on the subject. Chairman Robert Hunt replied by saying. that, news stories of the negotiations had appeared in the local newspapers and this was : the first tithe anyone had expres- sed any concern about it. Mr. - Hunt went on to say it was dif- ficult to. publish something which was in the negotiation stage, but was sure that if public opinion had been adverse to this munmici- pality entering into an agreement the board would have listened with interest and if the criticism was sufficiently strong might have changed its views. In the absence of any criticism the board had gone on with the negotiations and the agreement was now in the hands of Pickering Village Coun- cil and would be signed as soon as approved. Other members of the board al- | so explained that every act of the | Board of Trustees was scrutinized very thoroughly by the Depart: | ment of Municipal Affairs and its | approval was required before any | | decisions were finalized. Mr. Parish was also advised that a copy of the agreement was avail- able for him to read and also the minutes of every board meeting | could be read by any interested taxpayer upon request to the Sec- retary Treasurer. Trustee George Finley said that the board members would at any time be glad to meet groups of interested citizens to discuss town matters, but it would be difficult to discuss items of business in de- | tail at each and every meeting | with all the attendant questions. It was tough enough to get through a heavy agenda in an evening as it was. It was disclosed during the dis- cussion that attempts to form a ratepayers association had failed in the past. Trustee Mills said he would be glad to see a strong ratepayer's association in the town. | The board were rather pleased | that Mr. Parish had shown enough | interest in attending the board meetings regularly and that he had voiced his opinions and wish- ed that more people would attend. The meetings are held the second Thursday evening in each month and start at 7.30 p.m. and close anytime up to midnight.

Doreen has been spending some holidays with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reader and visited friends in the Sudbury Area Now Producing Big "Speckles" TORONTO -- Three fishermen have set all-time records this year for speckled trout taken in the Sudbury district with catches rang- ing from 6% to 8% pounds. Prev- ious record for this district was 5 lbs. 9 ozs. set by F. G. Morley at Thor Lake, May 7, 1946, accord- 4 [ing to the Fish and Wildlife Divi- sion of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The Ontario and world record for speckled trout was set in July, 1916 by Dr. J. W. Cook, of Fort William when he caught one weighing 14 lbs. 8 ozs. in the Nipigeon River. It was 31% inches long. The new record catches in the Sudbury area were: 8% lbs., taken by Fred Oldfield, of Bolton, It was 23 inches 'long with 19-inch girth. Jack Oldfield, of Lloydtown, Ont. ot one weighing 6% pounds, 22 inches long with 15%-inch girth. Both were checked by Conserva- tion Officer D. D'Agostini on patrol north of Sudbury June 14, and both were caught with a wobbler. Jim Espaniel, a Deputy Chief Ranger at Biscotasing, also caught a whopper, a speckled weighing six [pounds 14 oz. in the district. Size of speckled trout has been increasing slowly but steadily in the Sudbury district ever since the openuing, in 1938, of the De- artment's trout ponds at Sand- ield, near Little Current. Continu- : ed yearly plantings in the district waters, officials say, are now pay- ing big dividends. EDITOR CHANGES JOBS PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.
