Aug on progress of the work FIRE ISSUE New truck or tanker Controversy arose Monday between Wards and Fire Chief Kcn and members of the volunteer firefighters association over the proposed purchase of a four wheel drive vehicle maintained the truck is badly needed for calls in rural areas covering mile radius and to decrease the strain placed on the van presently used to transport manpower and firafightlng equipment Bud Hyde spoke for the volunteer firefighters association opposing the purchase on the grounds that money could be better spent on a tanker we re going to put this on priority basis the tanker mist he told the general administration committee We ve driven the van sine and had good service from from ire chiefs Ken and Mick Holmes after con sulfation with he firefighter regarding the proposed pur chase of either or both wheel drive vehicle and tanker it He suggested the old van could be used soley for urban Buikema contradicted saying in the past that the van required numerous brake repairs recently needed new spings experienced other me problems and was overloaded with equipment regard of how it redistributed The first concern of firemen Is to maintain their own lives said Coun George so if they feel strongly In favor of the tanker okay He voiced support for more feedback between fire chiefs and volunteer firefighters budgets and As a volunteer

FOR HOLIDAYS ROM Monday in SALES SERVICE PARTS RENTALS proudly supplied by LIKE NOBODY ELSE The improvement of Remembrance Park Branch 120 s project for the 50th an of the Royal Canadian Legion has met with another delay which will postpone the project until next Thursday members of the Legion viewed the partially drained lower pond along with Mike Armstrong chairman of the works committee and Ted deputy engineer The meeting at the park was called by Hyde who had suggested that removing the boards from beneath the bridge over the lower pond would Improve the water flow and thus eliminate weeds which ore clicking the bottom Hyde did not attend that melting He told the works committee Monday he went by the park earlier in the day and noticed that it had not yet been drained then I forgot about it What Coun Hyde mlssca seeing was the ugly exposed bottom of the pond with water moving through Agreement among president Denny Wright chairman of the Improvement project Norm Ward and Legionnaires Harold and Ted Harrison was unanimous that draining the lower pond was not what the legion wanted As the water table has steadily dropped over the years and the swamp from which the pond gets its water the street lias only a four loot wide creek coming into the park the legion committee felt narrowing the channel with gabion baskets to about 15 feet from its present feet width would increasi the water flow and keep weed growth down But Ward said after the scene hod been examined that instead of a root wide stagnant pool 11 have a 15 loot wide stagnant pool trying to make Wright said the Legion may reconsider the Idea of piping water underground and having fountains But whatever is decided the legion Is hesitant about putting out money for that Is not per man cut he added suggested at that meeting that filling in the slopes of the pond then adding a three foot wall of gabion baskets to make the pond 15 feet wide along with cleaning the bottom would be enough to tide the project over until next year r- ill for the project would bo available from storms sewers which arc going In on Draper Street the park on meeting of the works com mi tee said he had second thoughts about the project He said the filling operation shaping the slopes and laying As there has been a wet summer and trucks carrying the fill would drive over gross part of park will need resodding yet nothing concrete would be achieved he said The park would not be presentable for the Service In November he said It s getting late in the Perhaps Ihe best idea Is to let go until next year thing about it more and get some new Ideas Bollinger said No real engineering has taken place at the park he Town engineer Robert Austin said that part of the pond could be filled with fill from Draper Street and the trucks carrying the fill could enter the park from James Street so as not to cause damage He recommended the use of turf stone something like concrete blocks which are set in banks to stabilize the earth yet allow grass to grow through the stone The i side of the pond with fill from Draper Street and meeting once again with the Legions Improvement committee Ballinafad
