TOWN CLERK'S REPORT.

The Town Clerk reported as follows at Monday night’s meeting of the Borough Council :

“I have the honour to report that the road staff has been engaged as under during the past month, viz : —Grading footpaths Liddell Street and Ravensworth Place, kerbing footpath Ravensworth Place, cleaning water channels in Main Street, spreading metal on Avenue Road, Main and Union Streets, screening metal in yard, grubbing lupins and gorse at Victoria Park, clearing off grass from sides of Main, Union, Whyte and Cook Streets and mowing triangle. The last Council authorised the asphalting of the kerbed footpaths in Park and Cook Streets, I would like to know if these works are to be proceeded with this season. A work that will have to be taken in hand at no great date is the replacing of the wooden kerbing on the south side of the Avenue Road, as the present kerb is getting very delapidated in some places. In connection with the selling of coke, I would be glad if the Council will fix some limit as to what amount of credit is to be given, personally I would like to see the coke transactions strictly cash. I would like to draw the attention of the Council to the fences round section 4SB Avenue Road, and ask if we are going to do anything in connection with repairing these belore leasing the the paddock.” The report was adopted. It was decided that no coke- account run over one month and that tar be spread on Cook and Park Street footpaths before the gravel is placed on same.
