concerned the difference in pay between what our local boys get and that paid to provincial police officers is 700 and compared to metropolitan police 1000 a year despite their request for only ab out half the difference between their rate and that of the provm cial very little effort if any had been made to close the gap chairman of the police commit tee mrs anne curne adm ts there is a big

substantia increase the third member of the commit tee councillor ernest hvde said meetings of the committee were held at times when he was not free to attend hence he knew no thing about the request

to follow another clause which allows him to construct 25 per cent of a subdivision before providing the balancing 40 per cent industrial assessment asking if the 40 per cent is on the whole subdivision or on the 25 per cent of the houses built reeve sargent told mr fobert that he interpreted this as on the 25 per cent mayor armstrong said that it is councils feeling that if a subdiv ider is trying to follow the by law provisions future councils would be cooperative and not go out of their way to penabze him for instance if an industry were on ttie verge and the 2m year term ran out he
