Outside of a by- law authonîzing the borrowing of $15,000 from the bank to cover current expenses until taxes ane 1 fllected, aIl motions wene made to take -care of correspondence. There was a full council present for the meeting, with Mayor L. C. Mason presiding. The authorization to borrow $15,000 was necessary because of the nature of the municipal fin- ancing. At the beginning of each year the Town Corporation ns authorized to borrow, in varying amounts, a set sum to cover cur- rent expenses during the yean. If any money is borrowed, beyonc the amount authorized, it must be done thnough a by-law. Be- cause of a few unfoneseen expen- ces which were not included ini the budget (such as the money loaned to the Arena Committee), it was necessany to go beyond the limit this year. Hence, the by-iaw passed Monday night. The personnel of the Fine Bri- gade was funther changed at this meeting. Resignation of Wait Dix- on was accepted, since Mn. Dixon is moving from town. Applica- tion of William Stephens and Glen Vintue were accepted, sub. ject to the approval of Fire Chief. Notice was received from Pro- vincial Fine Marshall W. J.
