which to transact all the business that the council is carry ing on these days councillor reesor was protesting the recent move made to hold two regular meetings each month two regular meetings he

vert to one meeting a month with any specials required to fee called by the reeve in the usual way acting reeve charles hooper de fended two regular meetings on the ground that councilmen could arrange their business in advance knowing the meeting dates in ad vance more prompt answer to cor respondence could be carried on with two meetings and complaints could be dealt with more promptly
