Mr. Wbyraan moved, " That Mr. Brown be informed that the Council had accepted McDonald's tender."

The Town Clerk said that the Savings Bank trustees had made personal application to him to have the footpath in front of the bank asphalted, offering to pay half-cost; and Mr. Angus moved to have the work done, pointing out that they were adjoining properties, and the footpath had better be made as a whole. The motion was agreed to.
