The Property Co!Dllli ttee,~r.ilia lloy -chairman,reported as follows ;.we have sec-
j:"
ured 60(} trees from the government consisting of Iiaple,hard and soft,:S:lm,Scotch
White and Norway pines 0 white cedar and have planted them on the grounds at the
plant.These trees with care will soon be large enough to plant out on new· streets
and also replace old trees cut down,thereby keeping Aurora beautiful with shade
trees for which our town is already proud.We have also secured 250 young grow;.
ing trees 0 Cedar and Maple,and have planted them around the plant.·•ie find that
the disposal plant is still very unsatisfactory and would reco!Dlllend that the
Council take definite st.eps at this meeting to have something done.· e feel that
seven months is quite long enough for our engineers to have the plant in a per-
fect. working condition according to the agreement.
In reference to the w.w.Property we have had the veranda roof reshingled•
and the kitchen roof repaired.This was done by men on relief.Mr.Langman informs
us that the roof over the engine room which was reported leaking has tightened up
and therefore requires no i!Dlllediate attention.We have had the grass mowed in the
town park and the rubbish .cleared away from around the outside of same.
The report was verbally adopted.
BLAX MALLOY that the contractors to whom the tender was let covering the
painting of the watertank be approached regarding the cost of a proposed third
coat of paint for the tank,with an endeavor to obtain the lowest price for this
work .we suggest that the price of ~63.99 is too high inasmuch as this third
coat being required is partly due to the manner in which the first two coats
were put on and that the Committee be authorised to make a decision in this
matter,and the seal of the Corp.be attached hereto. Carried.
BLAY MALLOY that a cheque be issued in t.he amount of $50.00 covering the
