G. Morris. "Now is a good ýtime to decide what the town can do to ensure ourselves that this emunicipality will flot be caught *unprepared next winter. Muni- cipalities such as Bowmanville :1 should set up an emergency fuel rsupply," he said. "I would like -to see the Civic Committee given Power to go into it and see what can be clone. I do flot mean we *should go into the coal business sbut to purchase whatever coal or *hardwood is available and set up a reserve supply over and above what the dealers will bc buying. I think that right nom, is a good rne to get started." 1 Counillor Glen Martyn: ' Where do you propose that the ftown purchase it? From local dealers?" "Yes," replied the reeve. "The coal dealers tell me that 1you are going to get the saine amount of coal that you got last year. But you are flot going to get it in bulk like you did before. It will be doled out," supplied Deputy-Reeve Little. "I think the coal dealers in town are discriminating. Just after I was refused an order, a woman next door ordered coal over rny 1telephone fromn the same dealer. They put it in and broke my cellar window doing it. But I couldn't get it," commented Councillor Glen Martyn. Said Deputy-Reeve Little: "At one dealers where I went there were four carloads sitting there one day and I couldn't get a ker-i nel of if."1 "I think if there is any way we can assure we will have ani impie supply, we should do it," said the mayor. -With the properties we have1 in town we should be able tu provide storage space," comment- ed the reeve. Asked the deputy-reeve: 'Sup- pose we go to coal dealers here and they turn us down? Can weÀ get a couple cars shipped in?" "I move that the matter of the, reserve supply of fuel be left in the hands of the Civic Committee1 and have it report back at a spec-1 ial meeting," said Reeve Morris. The motion carried.
