full time engineer as well is need ed bv the town according to cr alfred svkes who also seeks re election i mr svkes said that duties like tt indsor operate so efficiently that council onl holds one meet ing a month while georgetown has one a week if there was a town manager georgetown could ave 3 000 in council fees alone he point dw out it is no reflection on bill carr when i saj we need a full time engineer he said mr carr has served in a part time capacitj for the past jear he is a fine man but i feel we need a man who will not only do the engineering but will also be available to interview prosper live industries and deal with rate- pavers complaints there seems to be a council faction which is looking for such a man for 6000 in my mind the salary should be more like 10 000 1 don t want a schoolboy running the town mr sykes said he is perturbed by the tender pnees received for the park lots people must think council are a hunch of knucklebeads to offer as little as 300 for lots which are worth many times more he said if we canl get better offers well use the land for paries for we certainly went sell valuable pro perty ft or that kind of money as pobltc works chairman he said planning for the new sewage disposal plant and introduction of a new garbage system where a contractor looks after both collec tion and disposal were the years highlights more attention to
