While the subject of municipal garbage collection was broached, it was decided such a venture in- volved an expense too great for inauguration at the present time. Norman Burns and other resi- dents in the vicinity of the town dump wrote Council complain. ing of flies and -requested that action be taken ta control the~ nuisance. The letter was referred to Public Property Committee to be dealt with along with a let- ter of complaint from the North- umberland and Durham Health Unit. Count. Wilfrid Carruthers said municipal garbage collection ini- volves an expense of $7,000 :n 'Cobourg; $5,700 is paid to the garbage collector and approxinii- ately $1,200 to the caretaker of the dump. Napanee, a smaller municipalitv than Bowmanvil le, pays $100 per week for municipal ,;garbage collection. * No Municipal Collection *Mr. Carruthers bcliex'ed that the inauguration of a municipal _arbage, cllect ion would be out the qesion at the present 4tme, and lie reconiended othiL'r Smethods be used ta 'control the Lrats and flics at the town dump. According ta Coun. Carruthers it wilIl take "another couple of 1milîs" to handie it. With muni- cipal garbage collection only the contractor would be allowed to dump refuse in the town dump, and he would be obliged ta keep the dump in a san'itary condition. L Council unanimously agreed that mu nicipal garbage collec- tion is not financially possible at the present time and they gave the Public Property Committee an open hand in getting rid of rats and flies at the dump. It is understood D.D.T. or spme like poison will be used to quell the fly* nuisance, and that another type of poison. harmnless ta hu. mans, will be used ta rid the dump of rats. Requests Increased Rates Town dog catcher, H. W. Knapp, directed a request for in- creased rates ta Council. After some discussion it was decided ta hold the request over until Mon- da > , dune 1l, when a report on the dog-catching situation can be made at a special Council rneet ing. e The present rates in force en- title the dog catcher to $5 for each dog he pîcks up and keeps ANNOUNCEMENT 1 ain pleased to alnice that 1 an now established in rny o-wn business specializing in the installation and repair of:- ROT AIR FURNACES )ý!11CONDJTION11NG PIL DURNERS' ALL TYPES 0F IROOFI14G Work estimiated without obligation will conform to low 'oierhead at my new location.

Fromn the southern haif of the highway a road will lead to the C.N.R. Station and to Liberty Street. Local residents wishing to go to the East or West Beaches or the C.N.R. Station will travel south along Liberty Street, past the sewage disposai plant and under the new highway. Here a new road wvil1 be constructed wvith one part leading to the station. The other major portion, north of the tracks, will turn east over a bridge to join the present Wharf Road. Then across the C.N.R. tracks and straight on for 48 hours: 75 cents a day board for every day over twa. and $3 for disposai of the dog. The rates now requested are $7 for pick- ing up and keeping a dog 48 hours; $1 per day board for every day avec 48 bours and $3.50 fon dog disposaI, Coun. M. S. Dale believed that "in some- departments" the dog catcher is "not being paid too mnuch," However, Council decid- ed ta cari-y on at the present rates of payment until the mal- ter can Lie investigated mor'e f ully. Request Hydrant Check As a result of the recent gar- age fine an Cburch St.. Council asked Clerk Alex Lyle ta ce- quest Publie Utilities to '"make a systemnatic check of hydrants in town." Such a check being "made ta the satisfaction of Fire Chief Hooper," When attempt- ing ta fight a fire at thie home of Gardon Cowle, 3 Churcb St.. on May 28. the hydrant in front of the Cowle home was found f0 be in faulty condition. Council was unanimous in fen- dering a request to the Town Sol- icitor ta investigate and suggest action necessar>' ta prohibit -per- manent trailer homes" from be- ing established in Bowmanville. Immediate action will be takeni on a request made by Forrest Dilling ta have a "Watch For Childcen" sign erected on the West Beach at the southecn end o! Liberty Street.

From nine o'clock In the hîiorn- ing until il pirn. the visiting st- dents had a complete agenda ta follow, Bowmanville's represen- tative thought the Ottawa meet- ing particularly wonderful be- cause it afforded an opportunity for young people from both east- ern and western prqvinces ta meet on common ground.

On the first day of their Otta- wa stay, Colleen and Betty Me- Holm attended Lisgar Cqllegiatle Institute where B. K. Sandwell, editor of Saturday Night, address- cd the 135 students. "He is one of the best speakers I've ever heard," Miss Clarke Said. She seemed particularlv impressed by Mr. Sandwell's ability ta inspire laughter by using what Miss Clarke termed. "dry humor."

Drivers going to the West Beach will turn west at the Wharf Road, once they have crossed the t.racks and travel along the new road and bridge which will lead to the Honey Bridge and West Beach Road. Originally it was thought that this plan would cost the Town of Bowmanville wvell over $100,000, but due to ef- forts of the Hon. Major John Foote, V.C., provincial member for Durham County. the actual construction of these new roads and bridges will be borne by the province. It wiIl be seen by a study of this sketch that the Department has gone inove industry and railroads ta the outskirbs and make the Can- adian Capital tbe nation's most beaubiful city. Hon. L. B.
