recently We came to the conclusion that the best way to try to overcome Inflation Is to put any dollars you can Into something that will in crease In value as prices go up You can do this by buying stocks on the market If you water and sewer connections were happen to be very wise very available Supporting Mr Irwins request were the reeve deputyreeve Councillors Choppin and Councillors Kent
