No ment- ion was made of any adjustment to compensate teachers for the increase in minimum salaries. A board spokesman said no teach- ers are currently at the min- imum level.

Mr. Wiseman noted today that the public school staff would be increased by one teacher when a new grade four is opened in Sep- tember bringing the total to eight teachers. Board of education chairman Hubert Doran commented that the increase should improve Haileybury's position in the competitive market when new teachers are required. He added that he foresees no immediate staff problem. The increases were agreed up- on at a Special meeting held Monday.

At the meeting Monday night, .council heard Leo De- raiche and Joe Marchildon pro- test that council is asking for the impossible, if they have to meet the early morning train every day. Mr. Deraiche said that he has waited 17 times for the train, and only got one passenger. Mr. Marchildon agreed, and _ said that it would mean _ keeping tired drivers on the road. Council eventually that with the taxi owners' co- operation, a card would be put up in the station telephone box, giving the telephone numbers of drivers available for night calls. The drivers will take turns in answering the calls. Two Bucks Please A resident of Broadway ave- nue, T. A. Wilcox, sent the town a bill for two dollars. It was for hauling his car out of a_ hole.

Mr. Cooke said that Mr, Flem- ing is just trying to keep his taxes.down, and Mr Fleming ag- reed, but said that he didn't think making people pay for paving that wouldn't benefit them was fair. He said that as his buisness is concerned, he would probably vote for paving his street. Going Down Councillor Timmins reported thwt the north end of the floor in the shed where the chorine is stored has sunk. He was told to get it repaired, Snow Plowing Councillor Camsall wasn't happy about the snow plowing during the last storm. But May- or Cooke said that the town had only one man trained to drive the snow plow, and it was deci- ded that it was better to let him do a full day's work when the storm was over, rather than work all night while the storm was on. He said that emergency plowing to the hospital had been done, and the town gang been warned to turn out in the event of fire. Councillor Flem- bury's town workers.
