costs of the dispatching service for the balance of ihe year Death of Mrs John Oliver who handled this chore from the flreholl iparlment has caused a change in system He said it is impossible to do all planned capital projects this year and a hose drying tower will not proceed before the year end JOBS The finance review was called to ascertain that the could proceed with three major roads projects which have gone well over their ex pensc budgets These will now be completed the Charles and Park Duncan Drive and Weber Drive sewer and road work unds will be made available by reallocating money planned to be spent on other projects which be deferred will come from dropping some sidcwilks from a sewer on the in the vicinity of Motors which a senior will not approve and sanitary sewers

far over the original budgeted cost URGENT He said the Weber Drive project could wait until next year without causing hardship but the highway Is in urgent need of attention And he urged lhal sewer reconstruction there be done at the same time rather than splitting the fob as some councillors would do Total cost is estimated it He was reminded by Morrow the three projects decided are a falte accompli decided by a council majority at a meeting a week ago We still have left to do Street but wc cannot proceed until hydro can do their job he said Cr insisted that other councillors have the wrong priorities and that Weber Drive could be dropped If so wed end up with a done said Morrow re only hoping for a surplus we haven t got the lenders yet said Cr Hyde Mayor Smith said there is no dispute among councillors about doing the highway job but a decision has to made on the available You can allocate for this and it won be spent he said The mayor said certain projects have been budgeted for the vear and it is council s job to sec that all which ire possible are completed NO III- There is no reason we can hold money over for next vear said Cr Hyde Weber and Duncan are already
