situation on john street but nothing his ben done et gibbons if we do gtt him here is council prepared to get after him maclaren the last time he was here he said thi job would be com pleted in two or three weeks and we would go over the town to sec what was necessary gibbons i made it cleai to mr jackson when he was here that i expected the contract to be carried out goodlet did the contract say roads should bf put in original shape gibbons thats my impression goodlet it s open to argu ment it says as nearly as possi ble to the original condition gibbons our difficult is with the engineer he s the one we hhould be going after the mayor read a letter from scott jackson which explained that difficulties had been expert enccd in securing machinery for the disposal plant but shipment was anticipatco from chicaj o by november 22nd mccumber its time we stop ped people dumping jntothe sew ers if that s the case whitmee there should be a strong notice to that effect in the paper asked the

as put by reeve maclaren and ill voted in favour except mayor gibbons who de clined to vote in presenting his motion cr whitmee said that he was thinking not only of the heavy burden which mayor gibbons had been carrying this year but al o of the future and that while a man in mayor gibbons position could spend so much time without pro per remuneration future mayors might not the seconder cr goodlet said it had been the pol icy in other ontario towns this year to incrcas salaries of all of f ielals and the georgetown mayor s job was of such magnitude us to warrant it cr davidson said the mayor operated at u loss in his position and that the time exp n ded and out of pocket expense far exceeded the 200 salury this is un cmbarraslug mom ent said the muyoi i certainly appreciate the

opted in the dying moments of the 4048 council that ht wis agiinst it without i vote of the people ind that while a decis ion should not be delayed too long that it was not i miitter to be i ushed into dtjiut reeve armstrong who h is been i slrcnf supporter of tho b law s ud rl it it should have hi en pi sod months aj o and that there shouldn t be any talk ou ltavini it over till next year when it had been so fully dlcusscd and was so netessary reeve maclaren ind cr goodlet supported him in this s herbeit viler the tire mar shal s remarks last week when he was inspecting fire protec tion on king street i have never been so alarmed about the water situ ition i didn t feel like com mitting myself to this project until 1 saw the deplorable condition of tht silvercreek reservoir i dont think were lojing as much water b leakage as the engineer saya because i don t think its there to lose gibbons i had hoped by now that an auxiliary source would have been located whitmee you don t have to be an engineer to find more water there is enough behind the park to supply the whole town herbert i think there is plenty of water withir a mile of the res ervoir gibbons i still think explora tory drilling is the first considera tion armstrong we haven t voted mr roberts anv money yet how can he go ahead gibbons we ije voted hint 2000 for fees that we didnt have we have just as much right to spend money to find water as to hire him m the first place mr roberts is an engineer we must remember that- he has set up m plan from which he will derive revenue too maclaren if youre sick you take a doctors idvice im satisfied thijt mr roberts knows his job ind has liven us a thorough pro lt mi gibbons we shouldn t rush into thib maclaren these s imc we ve gone points time and over time if am gibbons i m too much tn- g ifcd with sewers at present lets finish one big job first armstrong water is import- mt and we can t afford to delay whitmee ehe reservoir is obs olete all owns are going to deep well systi m goodlet it wont be a burden on the taxpayers they will pay for what they use it is probable the last water debenture we will evci need in georgetown herbeit paving for it worries me but i 11 vote for it because i believe it is necessary the fire marshal snid our fire equipment was al but our water supply gibbons r am askihff a wwor- ded vote because of the reasons i have
