There are some fine instruments in this 10- cality but very few know much about music and it would be a good chance for those having atal- ent for music, now that we have a teacher who is qualified to teach them.

Hickson and Deyell to just give $5 towards this purpose. Clerk was instructed to advise Board of Railway Commissioners that Op's township did not wish for an overhead crossing on G.T.R., at O’Halloran’s cut, but would rather have smile of the banks removed that obstructed the View, and have a light placed there for the safety of after night traffic.

Council were unanimous in the he- lief that if the small graders were as good as represented by Mr. Brodie, of the Sawyer Massey 00., it would‘be wise to secure one so that more of the pathmasters might find it convenient to get grading done, thereby than was now possible with only one grader.
