He enjoyed the work in council and thought each member tried to do his best for the town. Deputy Rusk.» who had not fully recovered from his sickness, asked to be exeused from making any remarks. ' A few matters in connection with the Fire & Police Dept. were touched upon by Ald. Payne. He thought that the best keeping the fire alarm shape is to place it ugger con- tract with the Bell TeleBone Co to .maintain it.

Grafton, who is in the in- surance business, did not agree with Ald. Payne's criticism of the C.P.U.

MacLaren, for a few min- ules, dealt with insurance rates, permanent roadways and the se- curing of industries. Town Clerk Smith, who is alse Fuel Comm oner, devoted mos! of his remarks to this "burning question" of wood supply. After describing the conditions at the time when it was decided to se- eure the Town wood he showed how conditions had changed ow- ing to the exceptionally mild winter and also to the glose of the war setting free much labor that had been employed in war industries, Last year the Town paid as high 5 per cord ata time when it did not cost as much to produce as it does now when people can buy it for less than $12. Some who have not been able to see far enough grumble at the price because they can perhaps buy it on the market for a shade less, "You ha the Town to thank for tha! said Mr. Smith, adding that the Coun- cil had nothing to fear from such criticism for it had done the wise thing to protect the interests of the citizens. Some think that criticism consists of fault find- ing. That is a kind of criticism, but none should criticise for the sake of finding fault. True criticism is pointing out a fault and at the same time suggesting a better way. Criticism in this spirit will be productive of much good. ie Ald. Poucher, Ald. Gray and J, B.
