This was carried out quite satisfactorily. : The only other business trans- acted at the inaugural session was the fixing of the date for the regular meetings, which will be held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.30 p.m., the day and hour that has been set for several years past. The list of committees follows, the first-named in each case be- ing the chairman, and'the mayor an ex-officio member : FINANCE--A, P. Knechtel, P. M. Fleming, M. C. H. Little. FIRE and LIGHT--A. N.

Ice on the skating rink held good up to Tuesday night, al- though it was tough going in the junior hockey match between the local team and New Liskeard, but the curling rink was unfit for use that night. No one here can recall a winter such as this one. The district engineer of the Department of Public Works at Ottawa wrote the council asking for a clearance in the event of any damage being done to the town's intake pipe, which lies close to where the new break- water for the airport will be lo- cated. This was given, as it was understood that all precautions were being taken to avoid dam- age. It was a formal matter re- quired by the government, Mayor Hamilton stated. The firm of A. W. Connor & Campany, Toronto architects with whom the town successfully fought a suit in re- gard to the plans for the arena building, wrote asking that they be not held responsible for the costs levied, although judgment had been entered allowing costs to the town, both in the original suit and the company's appeal. They acknowleged the judgment but claimed that the town should equitably bear the costs. This : was referred to the town solicit- week's GEO. L. T. BULL, K.C.

In regard to a circular from the Provincial Department of Health, addressed to the coun- cil and the local Board of Health and dealing with precautions nec- ply of ice, Councillor McKinnon told the board that he had been in touch with Dr. Arnold, the Medical Health Officer and had arranged to submit samples of both ice and water, from the place where he intended cutting the year ending December 15th, 1932. unless arrange-' ments have been made regarding payments before that his supply, for analysis.

This committee will deal with an account presented iby C. R, Plaunt, for time lost lwhen he moved a well drill into Kowa last summer. It was pro- posed at that time to drill a well near the lake, but the other plan for a water supply was later ad- opted. The council thought the account, which was $130, was too high in the circumstances, as Mr. Plaunt "had secured two other contracts in the vicinity. A. Fernholm asked permission from the council to remove rock from the lake shore between Al- bert and Elliott Streets, by blast- ing it into the ice, to furnish ma- terial for the new airport. The council took no action officfally, but it was said that there woula be no objection if proper precau- tions were taken in the handling of explosives. also It was decided to leave the ap- pointment of the town officials with the exception of two mem- bers of the High School Board, whose terms had expired. The men appointed were H. E. Caw- ley, who had served only part of one term, as he had been ap- pointed to fill a vacancy, and Jos. A. Legris. The other member of the Board whose term had_ ex- pired was N. J. McAulay. Councillor Fleming introduced the question of fencing the play- grounds at the public and separ- ate schools, stating that in the majority of towns this precaution was taken and that a particularly dangerous situation exists on Rorke Avenue. It was impossible to prevent children playing on ithe street he said. and he did.not believe | auld be a very-expen- sive prgest. After some discus- sion-it "4s decided to have the town clerk write to the school boards in regard to the matter. It was pointed out that the whole of the ground need not be fenced, but just the front and possibly a portion of the sides. The council passed the accounts of the month, approved payment of the sum of $8,600 to the Mc- Namara Construction Company on an estimate from the engin- eers as to the progress of the work and adjourned before 9.30.

Andrews is an Englishman living in that section, Plans for the airport show a wall, composed of rock and tim- ber, extending from the shore at the pumping station straight out into the lake to a point in line with the outside of the wharf. From there it will turn south and extend a short distance in that direction, leaving an opening be- tween it and the wharf of about 150 feet. "The width along the shore is about 350 feet. The breakwater will consist of a wall 32 feet wide at the bottom and 16 feet at the top, which will extend above high water level. It is unlikely that it will be finished ORE SHIPMENTS Only one car appears in the statement of ore shipments for the period ending January 11th, issued by the T. & N. O. Railway. This was a car shipped from Elk Lake by the Miller Lake-O'Brien to Marmora, with 84,055 pounds of ore.
