A by-law providing sick benefits for employees on town permanent staff was given three readings. it was decided to put a rental fee of $1.00 per hour, or any part of an hour, for the use of the cesspool pump.owned by the town. Mr. Harness stated he had been advised that steps should be taken at once regarding securing of land for subway site, a formality, but necessary. Mr. Harness also said he had several tanks of- fered which would serve to replace the present cesspool tank and the decision was left in his hands. A repair estimate of $203.58 for #2 truck was accepted. The new tarpaulin for the garbage truck has proved most satisfactory. lt was agreed that, unless the illegal parking at the Roman Catholic Church is immediately dis- continued, the police will begin ticketing for fines. The police were also instructed to deal with owners who have disregarded council's warning re- garding unsightly premises, and the disposal of an outhouse.

The board was happ: to pass on to council the commerts of the many iourists who make a practice, apparently, of estimating a town by its library, and who exclaimed over the decor and ex- tent of the books carried. Books for the standing library will be ordered and replacements of popular children and juvenile sets as required. A filing cabinet and footstool and other library supplies will be purchased. The plastic book covers will be used at the discretion of Mrs. LeBlanc, librarian. A new hanging sign was ordered for the window indicating the library, since many strangers otherwise seek the HEPC office, misled by their sign.

Sudar, chief co-op librarian, will be asked to make an adjustment on the books mysteriously missing from Schreiber units. This is done so that the units rented will be brought up to full comp= lement. The bookmobile will be in Schreiber on September 25th. Patrons are advised to have co-op books re- turned by that date.
