Two pick-up trucks were taken from the building. A wheelbarrow and cement mixer were pushed into the canal. Council correspondence Colborne council received correspondence Monday night from Ida Hobbs, requesting that action be taken to improve the swampy condition of her land. Council agreed that the situation might be improved by clearing bush from the adjacent Cedar Street road allowance . between Percy Street and Highway 2. The letter was referred to the roads foreman for action, with a request that he report back to council on the situation. Because of the natural springs in the area the council would not guarantee that the condition could be completely cleared up. Compensation increased Workmen's Compensation coverage of village firemen will be increased to $12,000 from the present $10,000, Colborne village council decided Monday night. The increased coverage would cost the village an extra $50.00 per year for the twenty one men involved. Workmen's Compensation coverage presently costs the village $252.00, and the new rate would be $302.40.
