georgetown 60144 muton 33512 oakville 02103 council agreed with the wardens sug gestion that mr smith county engin eer be asked to take this matter u with the department of highways toend out what vise this money may be put to the burlington debenture guarantee was again a bone of contention the argument being mostly between reeve thetford and deputy reeve breckon other members of the council for the most part maintaining a discreet silence the letter of protest from the acton council was read and mr thetfords first question was was it legal for this resolution to be passed warden in the opinion of the county solicitor it was entirely legal mr thetford also asked the county council if other- municipalities wanted debentures guaranteed if they also would be treated the same as burlington mr breckon you must remember mr thetford that burlington waterworks is a selfsustaining public utility which is a very different proposition from any improvement which is not a revenue producing concern mr hall i think the 20000 which burlington has saved should be pooled mr thetford certainly and divided among the municipalities mr thetford also claimed that the county had everything to lose and noth ing to gain by the risk taken in this guarantee mr ramshaw i cant see any reason why the acton council should blame you mr thetford mr thetford no they are not blam ing me but they are blaming you that is the county council mr breckon put the onus on mr thetford saying he should have sent a written objection to the clerk failing his inability to be present at the council meeting mr thetford maintained that as he had not been notified that this deben ture question was being brought up he could not therefore register his objec tion he also asserted that the deben turc proposition was like paying a license for a dog and another person keeping it but if th dog bit anyone then the owner would be responsible in this debenture guarantee everything is in favor of burlington and only the liabil ity for the others in answer to mr thetfords question as to how the debenture guarantee would affect the county credit loan at the bank the warden admitted he could not give a satisfactory answer in that case retorted mr thetford it must be unsatisfactory the education committee recommend ed payment of the following accounts ket cut flowers a m titt j e kelllng
