Vol. XXIII. No.79 Council Member Charges Filifiani Violation of Building By-Law and Sloppy. Careless Methods in Conducting Town’s Business at Stormy Session of (Iouncil Yester- Councillor Wren claimed that the meeting had been irregularly consti- tuted and declared that he waited two hours only to be advised that suflcient members could not be located to form a quorum on the day in question. With this understanding from the Mayor he left the town hall. "This meeting was apparently held two hours late and then you have the nerve to bring in minutes for approval.’ said Councillor Wren as he charged the Mayor with being continuously late for meetings. The Mayor informed Councillor Wren that he had never been late for a regular meeting and often duri 1g special meetings was busy doing more important work in his own office but readily available at all times. I was ready for a meeting at two o’clock on the afternoon you refer to." he told the irate councillor. The mayor fur- ther explained that the by-laws in question had only been passed 50 as to facilitate the completion of the work before cold weather set in. Asked by the Mayor if he wished to have his objection noted in the min- utes. Mr. Wren declined. “I think I 'have made it loud enough and plain (Continued on Page Six) Wuo.‘ Wuo M The contingency committee of the town council will proceed with an in- vestigation of a request from the trus- tee board of St. Mary's Hospital that no steps be taken for the establishment of a separate x-ray clinic by the Work- men's Compensation Board in conjunc- tion with a proposed new mines res- cue station and silicosis prevention (le- partment.

A court of revision for the hear- ing or appeals against the assessment for the year 1939. will be held in the council chamber on the afternoon of November 3. commencing at 1.30 pm.

Mayor Bartleman felt that the re- moval of the x-ray clinic from the hospital would mean a considerable decrease in the revenue of the institu- tion. resulting in an increase in the 'vitatlon by the town council to ap- 'pear here at an early date to give a lecture on the question of the advan- tages of the appointment of a. tonn manager.
