The Triangle has been mown aud weeded, the Main street water channels cleaned, and the cemetery fence repaired. While in Wellington iu connection with the Town Flail loan, I inspected aud purchased the road grader under offer to the Council, for the sum of ; the original cost two or three years ago was £73. This machine is iu good condition, and very little the worse for wear, and should do good service in the Borough. I believe it will pay lor itself iu the first twelve months.

The tender of Mr Claude Speirs for the purchase of the old library at £ls was accepted.
