public works depart ment will this year lift snow from the metered area down town the Allandnhi business section and from streets within 100 feet of the metered area This will include difficult in tersections such as Boyfield Ross and DunlapHigh Streets We had to move it anyway last winter slated Alderman Hambly making his last appearance as alderman in cit council Monday night There was some argument about the ording of the motion which originally referred to snow removal from boulevards Mayor Willard Kinzio pointed out an existing bylaw covered the sit uation for private boulevards allowing parking where the own er paid business tax and paid expense of snow removal Does this lnean ii chap is 50 feet from an iron bandit he gets his boulevard plowed for demanded Alderman Frank Hersey So council amended the offend ing word to read streets Alderman Hersey added that the public works department could surely plow any street in the city without having motion in council INNISFH NOTES The not meeting of the 59 Council of lnnixfii was held at the township offices Monday The membership will change only one man for the coming your when Councillor Torrens will be replaced by allows Al in Todd We asked Councillor Torrens what prompted him to contest the seat of deputymove this year when had he stayed or council there was litde doubt that he would have helm reel ected He said that he feared the deputyreeves policy of road improvements would make higher tax rate and felt that the ratepayers would support him in tb his policy of keeping the mill rate down rather than the Coch rnne policy of defbiito road policy across the township Wu pointed our that his chance of becoming deputyreeve was almost certain at the next elec tion two years hence had he stayed in council and suggested that he must have been poorly advised just made up my own mind he stated Councillor Torrens has been good councillor He has not fear cd to take his stand on any mat ter and has been worthy of the trust the ratepayers have placed in him RAN OUT OF GAS Reeve Sprunle told of the four lly car being out oi gas on Sun day Just as they were about to leave for church And Councillor Mrs Law walked the lost lap of hertripto the council meeting in Stroud when her car ran out of gas Councillor Mrs Law was host to the council and officials for dinner taking them to the Stroud Restaurant where the choice of food was limited only by the menu Next time it is my turn will have you at our home she told the members when theypassed onthelr thanks through the recve it was agreed that she should be given halfday leave of absence to remain home to play host when her turn came around next fall DELAY IN DEBENIIIRES Reeve Spraulc took strong ex ception to the delay that has been allowed through not having the debentures which it was ex pectcd to sell locally printed and randy so that funds could be ob tained to begin payment for the work thatls under way on the Community Hall Thc contractor has verious subcontractors on the jpb doing the excavating supplying the basement bio cks and laying them He has asked thatailffic iont funds be made available so that this outerpocket expense could be covered Hehas agreed to wait for funds duo him until the debenture returns can be available in October the bylaw was giv en two readings and awaited the definite setting of the interest rate Two months later Reels sproule stated we find there has been nothing done However Clerk ireton retaliated with the claim that although the council had discussed the interest rate and had agreed that it should be seven per cent he had no motion of council to authorizehim to change it and to get the deben lures printed so they would be available for purchasers Following this stormy

agreed to purchase these Hall debentures might hays already invested their funds elsewhere However he felt sure Ihat if the whole matter was finalized now there would be chance of having the funds very soon motion was passed changing the interest rate to seven per cent and authorizing the clerk to have them printed immediately One debenture of $500 for one year from Dec 1959 to 60 was purchased but this was the only amount placed in the hands of treasurer so far There are six tsoo debentures for tw years from Dec which if the cash waaon hand Immediately would about cover the outstand ing indebtedness Reeve Sproule said he did not see why the township could not borrow from the bank sufficient funds to keep the work going un til the sale of the debentures was completed The debentures should have been completed and sold before the work was commenced Councillor Torrens stated We have put the cart before the horse Deputymove Cod ranc said but the best thing we can do now is to advertise for buyer for the debentures and borrow funds if not sold at once The bylaw was given third reading and passed The redem ption clause which would allow the township to buy up the out standing debentures if it so de sired by giving the purchasers aJtHiny notice was eliminated from the bylaw it was agreed that if the investors put their funds out at seven per cent they should be allowed to leave them intact SIGN CROSSING PLANS The last three roll on for protection bod the plan for the installation before Council for signature of the rceve and clerk On molion authorizing this
