6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowma Agendas Costly Printing up agendas for Newcastle council meetings costs about $350 every two weeks. Town Clerk Joe Mcllrov said Monday, Abiril 17 that preparing 49 agendas for the bi-monthly meetings means the printing of about 5,000 pages. To cut clown on costs, the finance and administration committee recommended that agendas usually provided for the public be replaced by smaller documents summar- izing council's business. Meters Making Money Parking meters in the municipality collected a total of $3,147 last month, according to a report considered by Newcastle's finance and administration committee Monday, April 17. "It appears our revenues are increasing", commented committee chairman Jasper Holliday. The report from the town's parking enforcement officer noted that receipts from parking meters in March of 1977 totalled $2,588.73. Councillor Bruce Taylor said that he sees a decrease in parking offences while revenues fram meters are going up. Counillors in- dicated that higher fines for parking offences may be responsible for the increase in meter revenues. "It's becoming aparent that more people are using the meters as they are expected to," Councillor Taylor said.
