Council was notified that Edmund Borutski has re- placed Wayne Wilson as secretary-treasurer of the fire brigade. Dogs are again becoming a problem and an advertisement for a dog catcher will be placed. Further information will be sought before a water installation is made on Bayview Street. Word from the CPR regarding a rat problem was that the condi- tion will be investigated and council informed of result. Council replied to Ron Marquis that, since the trailer in question had not been disconnected from town facilities, no rebate could be made. Steve Petrushack's request for water installation received the reply that this could not be dealt with this year. Spadoni Bros. sent quotations on three and a half ton trucks. There were also quotations from Brant- ford Anthony Dump Box Co. for the town No.2 truck. Approval of this last purchase will be sought from the Department of Highways. Water accounts of $1.50 and general accounts of $1,214.50 were passed for payment. The account of D.J.Kelly was held over for payment since Coun- cil are not satisfied with the glasses ordered to com- memorate the subway opening, the picture on them not being clear. Some disatisfaction was expressed with bill for sidewalk and the contractors asked to send in new bill at 60 cents square foot. Water rebates were made to Miss Heather Graham and to Bulna Cabins.
