It is felt if some of the high land is bun- dozed into the low lyine; areas and levelled off this then could become a very lovely park area, The committee feel that for grading, leveling, stump removing, landscaping, tile draining, reseeding, and a general cleaning up of this area, a sum of $2, 500. 00 1;rould be required. Since there is not this amount of money avail- able in the Parks budget, we recommend that this money could be acquired from the Capital Levy fund, because tne need of this improvement is brought about by the overall increase in popul- ation, which has been caused by the Subdivisions. Deputy-Reeve; Stoddart;-You require the ~~2, 500. out of capital levy? Councillor Murray;-Yes, the Parks budget is almost depleted and the Board desires to h.:lve the northern area of the Vanek Property in a presentable appearance for the Centennial. It is possible to obtain the fill required frc:n the nearby hills. HURRAY: CORBETT: l1lJRRAY: JOJ\lES: "That the report of Parks Committee Re; the improvement of Vanek proper-- ty be accepted.

PAINT DOG CONTROL UNFINISHED·. BUSINESS STATEMENT BY COUNCILLOR SINCLAIR Mr. Mayor; -13-August 20, 1962 Councillor Corbett;-1;Jhen paint for the sewerage treatment plant was ordered it 1•as $275.00 5 we are now billed for $500. I understand the engin- eer ordered more paint by phone and did not ask me. vie are now stuck with $250. of paint. Some can be returned and I vlill contact the C.I.L. and will also take up this matter with the engineer. Mayor Nisbet;-You should find out, you are in charge. Councillor Moffat;-The engineer is not here and I think he should be to answer as I do not like this sniping. Mayor Nisbet;-\!/"alter Lm,re requests $5.00 a pick up instead of $4.oo, due to increase in calls without results. STODDART: 11 That this request be referred to the CHILD: Service Committee for investigation and report. Carried. Councillor Sinclair;-This is not a pleasant matter but I ca,n not work. harmoniously with 1'111 of the Council and the matter should be dealt 1•i th . by Council. On the evening of July 17 ultimo you gave me permission to make a personal statement to council prior to members resolving themselves into a committee of the whole. Subsequently I learned that my statement at that time had no official status since it was mad.e prior to council being, called to order. In order to repair that omission I w~h now to recapitulate material portion of my statement, to confirm their official status and enable them to be written into council records. Until such time as an ade"Ciuate apology has <teen made in connection with the unprovoked and undeserved humiliation to which I vas subject by Councillor James Murray in circumstE~.nces of which you, .Mr. Mayor, and members of Council were fully informed, I shall not be, as I would vrish to be, at peace with this council. . · After relating what took place on the morning of July 17 ultimo, of which outsiders and town employees 13.like vrere witnessess, and of which .··"""", ·~· 16TH REGULAR UNFINISHED BUSINESS -14-August 20, 1962 you, Mr. Mayor,had learned in the afternoon of that day, as you informed cor.J;J.cil , you asked Councillor Murray if he had anything to say. His answer was, "that it was too ridi.culous to answer." What Councillor Murray casually dismissed as "too ridiculous to answer" 1,.rere a series of threats made to me, followed by his telling me "to get the hell out of the town office," that I was cluttering it up," and that "another man"namely, Mr. Stew Patrick, "was more entitled to the Council seat." My eligibility for the then vacant seat was confirmed by current legis- lation and .I vras s>vorn into office on the morning of July 13 ultimo by the toWn clerk, in the presence of the Mayor. Also present was Council- lor Murray, who stood in the doorway of the clerk's office minutely observint; the proceedings, but offering noprotest as I took the oath of office. Y€lt only four days later he subjected me to the affronts I have describ- ed for the reason, as he declared,.that I had "raised a dead and forgo- tten .issue," namely his involvement in affidavits concerned with · election procedure at polling station No.1 on December 2, 1961, which, as I noted in my Statement to council on July 16 ultimo, affected the composition of this council of which I had become a legally-gqualified member. As I suggested, if Councillor Murray feels so strongly concerning the affidavits in question it is possible, I presume, for him to proceed to obtain their release for public inspection as proof of the innocence of his involvement therewith. In the alternative the question of the innocence of· his involvement therewith vrill continue to remain in speculative abeyanc.e. Is it not signifieant that when the opportunity of public enquiry was placed full,y before him he diligently. sought the sanctuary of hush- hush. rather than ~he form .of such appropriate examination? In. all the circumstances it would. appear that my right to . a seat on council is more firmlY establfshed than ts the. ca.se with Councillor N't.J.rray. . In conclusion, Mr •. • i·1ayor, I .did not anticipate that l'lY acceptance of the vaeant coiJJicil seat wo-qld incur my being publicly threat€ln€ld and abused by Councillor Murray, who,;fqr. some years was mayor of this town, a pqs:j,tion that carries with it the honorable responsibility cif fulfil- ling a code, of behavior that should be a model for 1,rel1-meanipg citizens anq a: pattern of :Pei'S}mal c.onduct abOVE! reproach, · How far it is possiblE) to fall from such standard.s of public decorum is most ;I.amentab:l.Y evidenced in the statement of faqt that, with deep · regret, it .has been my duty t 0 place before you and members of this council, ·. · · · · ·· ·· · · ·· In the ¢ircumsi;13,nces I have dE)scriped., I require from .Councillor Murray a ful;I.retraction and apology.
