Accounts for the current month a- mounting to $9,656.37 were passed Jor payment on the motion of Councillors Wilson and McKay. Mr M. F. Cook gave a report of the delegations trip to the Convenntion of the Canadian Good Roads Association, which was very in- teresting and following the account. of the expenses of the delegation which amounted to $277.75 was ac- cepled and paid. The Clerk then read a letter from the Chief .of Police, T. Colliss, tendering his resignation and this was accepted on the motion of Councillors McKay and Proudfoot. The Clerk was then instructed to advertise in Dryden, Winnipeg and Fort William newspapers for a police- man for the Town of Dryden, at a salary of $125 per month, applications jto be in by October 17th. It was decided that some sort of a siren for the purpose of sounding a fire alarm was badly needed, the present system being very unsatisfactory, and so the Clerk was instructed tg order a Model "M" Siren from the Sterling Siren Fire Alarm Company at a cost of about four hundred dollars. In the winter months the present system of residents and ieamsters from the country getting water from hydrants in the winter is very trouble- some, owing to the hydrants freezing from the neglect to properly shut them off, and as 2 result it was decided to have Hydrant houses with locks and key and have the same rented to eon. sumers for the sum of fifty cents per month. A very important motion that was unanimously passed and one that should meet with the approval of ai ratepayers, was the following: Klose-Proudfoot--That strong rep- resentations be made to the Board of Railway Commissioners, the Canadicn Pacific Railway, the Northern Develop- ment Branch and to our Representat- ive in the Dominion Parliament, for the purpose of obtaining advice and assistance in developing a plan for proper protection of the crossings over the CPR. tracks in Dryden and vicinity.
