and was all for a motion to appoint the po- llce chief w g marshall as town foreman at his present salary and ma ke night constable robb acting chief cr mcouvray said he didnt believe it was fair to ask mr marshall to make a snap decision and that should provin cial police be not available he might prefer to take the job of chief cr gibbons said that he was asking count cil to make a snap decision not the chief and cr ritchie said that though he favoured the town foreman idea he thought it wiser to settle one question first mayor cleave was also strongly against an immediate change pointing put that another night man would ha ve to be hired and there could be no assurance that be would have the job for more than few months he an swered criticism of cr gibbons that bylaws were not being enforced by saying that georgetowns crime and accident record were as clean as any town of similar size and that the police department had done a good job at the same time he thought the time was coming when changes would have to be made and favoured the town foreman idea with chief marsnallbs- vtng a choice of tb two peabtons or kstehle said bar to bring ttur matter to a head orv
