oT MAY 30TH ENT ! aste essary arr O nG0 Town Clerkâ€"Treasurer B. H. Willis being still an invalia. he was granted a further leave of absence of one month to recuperate; this month without pay. Acting Clerk, Donald McQueen, is to continue on, and he was granted $75 for his services during the month of May. Wes Morton complained of his property â€" next Perfection Service Station being flooded from that propâ€" erty. Coun. Stoneouse had inspected it, and said the simplest remedy would be to bury two more blocks of sidewalk there. A resolution was passed "that the owner, Mr Brown, Teeswater, be notified that his covâ€" ering. of sidewalk om front of his preperty has created a drainage proâ€" blem on adjoining property, and we would request him to remove the cause of the trouble." Reeve Hunter referred to the rown‘s yearly rebate of $600 from Grey County, to be applied for read improvement. Instead of expending all for dust layer, with "ittle to show for it after, he suggested reâ€" questing the County to amend the present bylaw, and the town forego the grant for 3 or 4 years, the Counâ€" ty to lay a "full spread" or tarvia pavement, for a block or two each year, on County link streets. The first street <o paved would doubtless be Mill street, east from drug stores corner. Hanover and Meaford both. have stretches of this type of paveâ€" ment which is apparently giving saâ€" tisfaction, though not equal to asphalt nor nearly so expensive. A man is to be brought here to give an estiâ€" mate of the cost of the work. Mr Phillips, operating movie show here one night weekly. was not satisâ€" fied with lease drawn. The acting Clerk was instructed to amend it to satisfaction of both parties. The St. John‘s Ambulance Aid wanted the town hall every Monday night for seven weeks for meetings. As the band already have the hall every other Monday for practice. (in cooperation with Mt. Forest band, with practice alternate Mondays _ in each town), it was left to that orâ€" zanization to make arrangements io switch dates so as not to interfere with band nights. Chairman G. McKay of Board of Works, reported the wire fence _reâ€" paired and replaced on west side of Garafraxa â€" street bridge, and alonz wall north of it, making a good job. Mr Duffield broucht up the matter of rental of Town Hall for war charâ€" ities. The I.0.D.E. already have its free use and Red Cross organizations are engaged in similar work. A moâ€" tion was thereupon unanimousâ€" y passed "that any Society in town workin@ for war purposes be granted the hall free of charge, if dates deâ€" sired do not conflict with other rentâ€" als."
