B: Dymond submitted a Yeport: on -different billing problems, Councillors, - after some considera- tion agreed with the suggestion which also included a rate of $100 per year for the new Community Memorial Hospital, It was explained that this trial 'rate for the first year was ar- rived at after figuring the 40 taps "in the building and the estimated number of users. SE However, most of the time and thought was put on several conten- tious problems as to billing various consumers where owners, tenants and taps varied. The problems were con- firmed at the request of Clerk John Raines and as one councillor pointed out -- "The tenants are comparing bills. Other comment was heard on the matter- of water meters versus flat rate but no action was taken as counell agreed -the SorpoTating was getting. the price for water. Best compliment on the water (lake water, that is) came from the deputa- tion of Yacht Club. members who in- "formed that Scugog was good-water- to race on. "That's the first thing I've heard it was good for", quipped one conncillor, Another quip was. heard when a council member pointed out that. it is against the local by-law to sell water or give it away (as some tenants are reported doing). "Remember the next time I come into your place, you can't give me a glass of water," jested one. "A good drop of. Scotch would be just as good," retorted the other, + Lengthiest discussion came when council heard Harvey Webster who has been aiding farmers in the dis- trict who have been hit by the season- al shortage of well-water. Mr. Web- ster explained that he had been haul- ing tank loads of water at approxi- mately 20 cents a mile to about four customers and paying the village $1 per Jond. Councillor Hugh Santer pointed out that there had been com- plaihts of bad tasting water and said it could be caused from taking water out of hydrants. Council decided that view of this and the fact that by ing water out of hydrants. in win- _ ter might damage them, Mr, Webster " would not be allowed to continue the seryice. Mr. Webster also took the oppor- > tunity tq inform council that he might take action unless the insurance com- pany (which sold the village an acei- dent protection policy) gave him some satisfaction as result of a mishap his mother received, He claimed Mus, Webster fell over an open catch-basin top and broke a leg, and that the in- surance adjuster ignored his claim, (louncil discussed this but took no action-as the clerk advised the adjust- er had stated.

Increase Lot Prices $10. The question of how to increase the income was very thoroughly discussed by those present. The Board has only three sources of income--sale of lots, opening graves, and the care of lots which is either from interest on tlie investments or paid annually when pot on perpetual care. "It has heen hoped that things would right themselves but they have not." It was finally decided that prices would have to be increased, It was then agreed to add $10 to the price of all lots for sale and $5 to the charge for opening graves, "This was done with a great amount of regret for she as low as, nls which have inp to bé too low." Mr .Grant Christie, starting his 17th: vear as president, reported that very little extra work had been done during the year except the removal of some trees that were getting dangerous.

All this work will be completed this year -with the exception of "three phase" work, he pointed out, "It is planned to make a loop around the' town with three phase power. This will give balanced phases and equal loading of the transformers." The three phase power line extends from the substation down the old C.N.R. right-of-way along Water to Scugog and up Ella Street. "It has yet to extended along Rosa to Bay and dewn Bay to Bigelow to the sub-station." . Work in winter was discussed and' Mr. Richardson explained that winter, work seemed to be left for the towns and although the men are entitled to a warm menl he has tried to balance off the slight disadvantage of having the ;work done during the winter, ~ Mr. Richardson also explained the wire control and frequency control of during the peak load.
