seconddeputy reeve padget was anxious to determine the standing of the finances at the present time and after several questions and some fig- luring he deducel that the 1928 coun cil was starting out with a debt to the bank of about twelve thousand dollars this he felt was a handicap of over two mills right at the start and urged that irigid economy he practiced throughout the year c j brodie wrote the council say ing that he was aware of a consider able dissatisfaction throughout the township regarding the valuation of the local valuator on sheep killed during the past year he stated that he was willing to waive all payments made in 1927 and appeal the lot to the minister of agriculture no ac tion was taken on the letter by the council speaking to this proposition mr brodie said he would be better satis fied and perhaps the ratepayers would be also if the council would agree to this proposition the reeve thought it would be impossible to consider mr brodies proposition as the sheep killed were buried and i could not be seen to be valued that the council and mr brodie had ac cepted the valuation of mr franc stiver deputykeeve padget wanted to know who the road supt was re sponsible to for his orlcrs reeve gohn stated that previously he had received his orders from the council as a whole and not from iriy particu lar member of the council he said that personally he had not inter- ferred with the work of the super intendent councillor smith who is re sponsible for the road overseers reeve gohn last year they were appointed by the road superintend ent and they were responsible to him councillor smith wanted to know if the ratepayers had any say in the matter he thought that this was one matter in which there would be a change this year all the ratepay ers pay taxes and all are entitled to a square deal he said a bylaw was passed appointing j a thompson thornhill and acam- plin as assessors for the coming year all the members voiced appreciation of the work
