councillor and one town ship official should go and bring back a written report on what they had learned these conventions have been painted up to me as rather gay af fairs she added her argument wore down as the other councillors continu ed to critcize her statements councillor ross gordon said no councillor would be spend ing three days at the conven tion he personally chose one day when he thought he could learn the most and made an effort to get there councillor bill mahon added not only do you find out a lot from the meetings but you find out a lot from others who go there deputyreeve
