THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 15th, 1928 $2 a year in advance: $2.50 to U.S.A. COLBORNE COUNCIL 1928 Assessment Slightly Lower Owing to Income Exemptions. Court of Revision Fixed for April 9th. The regular meeting of Colborne Council was held Monday evening, March 12th, 1928. Present: C. M. Finkle, Reeve; B. H. Coyle. W. A. Seed and W. J. Cowie. A communication from Department of Public Highways requested settlement of account for extra street paving done in Colborne in 1926--about $7000. The original estimates quoted $5200, and explanations of some of the extra charges in the account were previously asked of the resident engineer, who promised to meet the Council but has so far failed to do so. Last June the Department was notified that the Corporation would settle promptly when adjustments made and were also asked to send the engineer Miss Beatrice Purdy Wins District Oratory Contest I DEATH OF MR.
