At the motion of <n. - ave- Preston, the report was ý*ae the table for one month, after which time Council will decide whether ta go ahead with set- ting Up such a system, ta tura it down entirely, or ta put the question ta a vote af the 'peo- ple. The discussion and opin- ions expressed ta members af Council during this month will decide the answer. The report of the special c mmittee follows.

A Penny *Fair~ Local Option Vote Called for Oct. 26th jThe Bowmanville Progress IClub submitted the question ai the Local Option vote which will be presented ta the people of Bowmanville this Fail, ta Town Council Monday.. The tentative date set for the Vote, is Wednesday, October 26. The three questions which will appear on the tickets are: 1. Are you in favor ai the establishment ai government stores for the sale of liquor? 2. Are you in favor ai the establishment of government stores for the sale of beer only? 3. Are yau in favor of the sale ai beer and liquor under a dining lounge license, for consumption with meais on hi- censed premises? The third ai these questions didi fot appéar when the vote came before the people in July af 1952, and was introduced by Jack Weise, proprietor of the Balmoral Hotel. The results ai the 1952 vote,i which had a record turnaut of vaters, gave the "wets" a mar- gin in the number of votes, but stili flot the 3/5 total re- quired. The 1945 vote, whicn was the last timne before 1952 the vote was taken, had thL, "drys" with a more solid ad- vantage. The increase in votes for each in the 1952 election was 120 for "dry" and 700 for "wet" interests. Mayor Osborne informed Cauncil that if they did nat wish ta accept the question ta put it ta a public vote, the Progress Club could force the issue with a petition including names af 25 per cent of the eli- gible voters. The amount af work involved far town off j- cials in the second alternative system did flot make this pro- pasal seem advisabie, and the submission was accepted. Bowmanville has had Local Option since .1909. Befare that, at anc time, there were four liquor stores, eight hotels and nine churches in town. Today, there are no liquor stores, there is anc hotel, and eight chur- High School Issues Lower & Middle School Commercial- Results iplanned~ as a special activity The filowing are Bowman- Schaaisma, E.

At Mon- day's meeting in the Council Chamber, sports shirts were definitely the order of dress, and a fan was installed by Coun. Dave Higgon ta keep the warmn air and cîgar smoke circulating. Ail the windows in the room were opened wide, and a cool breeze entered fromn the northwest. To add the final touch, Caun. John Regan had refreshments delivered for the mayor, clerk, assistant clerk, councillors, roads and streets forem *an, and reporters. Even in such a relaxed at- mosphere, much business was covered. Provincial Library Endorsation of a request for the establishment of a Provin- cial Librar is ta be sent on ta the Minister of Education, at the request of the Bowman- ville Public Library Board. Glenholme Hughes informed the councillors that such a Imove would not cost the local library anything, and would benefit them greatly. IlA cheque for 1161*11 was received from. the Department ai Highways as subsidy on in over-expenditure on roads hast year af $2,534.62. An accom- panying note stated that future over-expenditures would be borne by the municinality.
