as fresh as daisies and scarcely talked out it was deputation night and no less than three bodies waited on the nembers w e morden newly ap pointed fire chief urged the necess ity of certain additions to the equip ment which were enumerated in a letter drafted by the secretary of the brigade everton smith a re presentative of one of the whole sale houses was also present and advanced the merits of an electric fire alarm it was proposed to in stall three alarm boxes at either end and centre of the village council thought well of the proposition but took no action to purchase at pre sent they did verbally agree to in stall a better heating system in the fire hall by putting in a furnace that would heat 1ue entire municipal building this undertaking will he worked out during the summer an other improvement asked for was the addition of a chemical fire ex tinguisher the reeve and council lor borinsky were delegated to make further investigation lespecting this at once and report at a special meeting the remaining two deputations consisted of dr dales moh urg ing the council to employ an en gineer to ascertain what can be done to improve the town water supply while nathan forsyth and others of church street enteredo strong pro test against the muddy condition of their roadway councillor borinsky urged the em ployment of an engineer to report on the best method of improving the water system and he along with the reeve will interview an engineering concern in respect to the matter at once nothing could be done for the church street deputation as every road all over the county is in just the same condition at present but when the frost is out council pro mises to ascertain what they could do to improve this section of the towns thoroughfare reeve sanders departed from the usual custom when he introduced a motion himself in order to kill the town dumping grounds south of market street the matter caused a heated discussion reeve sandors and councillor dowswell wanted to close the dump at once without se curing other grounds wjiile coun cillors ward and borinsky favored securing other grounds first on the reeves motion to close the dump at once councillor mckinnon supported the reeve and carried tho day three votes to two to close sanders dowswell mc kinnon to secure new grounds first bor insky ward councillor ward said that coun cillor dowswell rode into office on a promise to get a new dumping ground and now he was shifting out of it by merely killing the present place councillor dowswell retored i did not and councillor ward con tinued to urge the members to get a new ground at once councillor borinsky thought by closing the dump before securing a new one meant that an alterna- tiv would not be secured but the vote carried despite tho objection councillor ward introduced the matter of removing tho toilet at the cemetery grounds ho held that it created ill will far in excess of its usefulness and wished the council to direct or r the commission ers to remove it the reeve suggest ed that it be placed against tho tool house but no motion was mode to forward their view on to the com missioners the library was granted 560 the usual
