RlTIPORT OF RE-R.I\.BILITATIOl'f CO:WITUT'i'l~]!. Town Maps.
·carried.
With .a view to. conscillidat.ing existing maps of the :.!'own, your Committee has
during the :past month had one map drawn showing the streets and boundaries
of the Town. ~Chis map was dre.wn to be used primarily as a supplement to the
existing maps for the benefit of persons interested in the purchase of
building lots. In doing the above mentioned work, your Committee found the
existing maps very much out of date. George Street is shown as not being
connected to \'!ellington Street, and 1'emperance Street is shovm as taking a t!Ee'!le
detour East of the building formerly used by the ]'leury Co.as their office.
There are many other disc:ee:pancies, in fact they are too numerous to ment.ion.
As a result,your Committee feels that a thorough investigation of the method
and cost of bringing a.ll •rown maps completely up to date should be instit-
uted. Signed w·.A.West, C.EoSparks.
