It was noted that these storms had cost the Village in the neighborhood of $500.00 The contractor's account of $559.20 for the Colborne St. sidewalk was also passed. The Chairman. Mr. A. R. Sum- ner, reported that estimates on the repairing of John Street had not- yet been received but were expected shortly, as were the esti- mates for the paving of the rest of the village streets. This work is expected to be completed this summer. Baseball Diamond The trustees agreed to proceed with the re-grading of the base- ball diamond in the park as the Area Recreation Committee had reported that it dropped a con- siderable amount from one end to the other “You mean the pitcher stands on an inverse mound." quipped Trustee McT 0'- gart-Cowan “That’s a hollow, 0 you,” he explained to Trustee Timmins - Some discussion took place about the culverts on Dudley and Elgin Streets both of which should be enlarged and possibly re-allocated before the streets are paved. Chairman Sumner pointed out that although these culverts lay within the village, under the minutes of settlement.

Parking Chairman Sumner reported that because of the continuing wet weather, work had been done on the parking lot, but that this would proceed as soon as weather permitted. The trustees agreed to purchase one of municipal park- ing signs bearing a largeletter “P” and also to replace the pres- ent no parking signs along the road at the top of the park with “No stopping" signs, as cars which stopped there caused just as much trouble as those which parked. It was estimated that about twelve signs would be needed, at about $2.50 each. It was felt that the signs taken down could be used at other points in the village. In a discussion of the opening up of Eliza Street, it was noted that it is not an obligation of the village to open~up roads, but that the township must open the roads and the village would then main- tain them. It was suggested that this road might have to be done on a local improvement basis. A letter was read. from Rich- mond Hill Baptist Church re- questing the use of the park for a church picnic. “It’s nice to be asked," commented Trustee Tim- mins, as the trustees unanimously agreed to grant the request. New Employee It was reported that the Area Recreation Committee had agreed to pay 50% of the yearly salary, up to $1,500.00, for the man em- ployed for park maintenance. The new employee, which brings the staff of the village works depart- ment up to two, is Mr. Harry Simpkins. His duties will be dis- cussed with the A.R.C. and the pool manager. Mr. Togood. A report was read from the General Accident Insurance Com- pany regarding the inspection of the equipment in the swimming pool in which all units were found to be in good order. The bill for this inspection was re- ferred to the A.R.C. The trustees then passed a for- mal resolution authorizing the purchase of a used, 21 inch ro- tary power mower from Ketola Power Equipment. The equip- ment owned by the village now includes a truck, tractor, power mower, Gravelly Tractor with snow plow and sickle. and a plow for the truck, as well as numer- ous small gardening tools, shov- els. etc. Chairman Sumner gave a brief report of his attendance last week at the Ontario Library Associa- tion convention in Toronto. He attended sessions for one day and one evening. The trustees meeting of June 2nd was the first one held in the new library, the atmosphere of which is most pleasant. The library is now not only at- tractive but inviting and as a result of this (it was felt) the cir- culation has gone up considerably. especially in the Children’s De- partment. An attractive wall clock has been hung inside the front door, the gift to the library of the Morgan Boyle Family. It is hoped that by the time of their next meeting. the board room will be finished upstairs and the trus- tees will then meet there. They also plan to bring their files, catalogues, etc. to be stored in the library building. as these are now in the various trustees’ homes and convenient access to them is not possible. The library also has a very neat kitchen. en- abling the trustees to refresh themselves with coffee after their deliberations. Ever mindful of their responsibilities to the tax- payers, it was noted that they drank their coffee sans cream and from plastic glasses, stirring it with straws. Now here is a cir- cumspect council â€" they Won‘t even spend your money to buy themselves either cups or cream. let alone teaspoons!
