PUBLIC CONVENIENCE. “That plans and estimates for men’s convenience to be situated in Whyte St., midway between Main and Hall Sts., be obtained and submitted to the next monthly meeting.” REST ROOM FOR WOMEN. “That the front room on the right hand side downstairs at the Town Hall be set aside as a ladies’ restroom between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. except on Sundays. REMOVAL OF RUBBISH. “That in view of the heavy rates at present levied on property in the borough and the satisfactory manner in which the present rubbish contractor is carrying out his work, the committee is not prepared to recommend the institution of a compulsory rubbish removal service, but recommends to householders that they arrange with the present contractor for a weekly removal.”
