of the Police Force with exception of the Police Chief and the
Probationary Constable had been present along ~ith members of Council
The Police force thought arbitration was the an~ere to their
problem, but found out the cost would be very high and it would
be better to try and :i::txw.crN'l::lixlinR settle this without an arbitrator.
In regards to the 40 hours a week asked for by the Police force
this was left to the discretion of the Police Chief and Council
to settle, Councillor Corbett inquired why rest of Council was

matters. Reeve Davis stated he had talk it over with the Police
Chief and hE would call a mmeting some time this week. Mayor
Murray pointed out that the 40 hour week was no cencern of the Police
Force but up to Council and Police Chief as to whether or not
this is feasible.

the by-law for the salary of the Pvobationary Constable would be
necessary~ Councillor Bell felt a by-law setting up propesed
