Hair’s application for a renewal of his slaughter license was also granted. It was decided to procure several yards of chips for tar blinding purposes. Mr D. Henderson waited on the board anil asked that a culvert be put in at the junction of Mountain Hoad and Von Tempsky Street.—The matter was left- '.in the hands of the W orks Committee, with power to act.
