The C.P.R. INAUGURAL MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL The oath of office was taken by Reeve F.V.Harness, Council- lors J.P.Guina, H.J.MceParland and Clerk R.C.Skinner at the inaugural meeting of Municipal council. New member , Mr. McParland, was welcomed by the Reeve and Councillors. Listing considerations and improvements to be made during the year the Reeve said that projects such as seal coating roads in the community should be done by contract and prices investigated---- consideration should be given to repaving Alberta St. after th e pipeline is completed, this, he said, could possibly be done when the subway is paved. Arrangements should be started on the offi- cial opening of the new subway and he suggested that former Reeve W.E.Darcy, Hon.Geo.Wardrope and Douglas Fisher, M.P. be in- vited to attend. The waterworks dept.is in fair shape and present rates should keep the department healthy financially but he advised that the Dam should b e inspectéd in the Spring. He felt no change should be made in arrangements with the Health Unit. | Reeve Harness mentioned setting up the proposed District Asses- sor and requested authority for himself or/and Clerk to attend meetings pertaining to this. He also spoke on such matters as a spraying machine for the municipality--trading in No.2 truck on a new vehicle and police costs. He had received information that school grants were up and possibly the schools would be requesting less money this year. In closing he hoped the Township would progress and at the same time keep taxes down. Councillor Guina spoke on the Area and Subdivision contro} which he has advocated the past four years. He is pleased with the Health Unit but concerned about the District Assessor matter and felt more information on costs should be secured. The Town Hall heating system should be looked into and steps taken to cor- rect the existing situation. A discussion on summons issued regarding cars parked on streets while the plow operates took place. This will be discussed further at the police commission meeting. Appointments are as follows:- - R.C.Skinner, Clerk-Treasurer, Tax Collector for 1965; Ed.Borutski, utility man; Arnold Burns, caretaker; R.C.Skinner, interim assessor; F.H.Black & Co., audi- tors; Mrs.Inez McCuaig, ratepayers' representative to the public library board; §N.Jolicoeur, ratepayers' rep. to the citizens' rink committee. The Treasurer's bond was found to be in order and By- Law 457 for borrowing $60,000 to carry on town business pending tax collection, was passed. The Reeve and Clerk were authorized to make all fixed payments. The Township will continue to be a participating member of the Dis- trict Health Unit.
