WATER CHARGES
CONVENT SEEKS EXEMPTION The question of whether the convent should have a water meter or not gave rise. to considerable discussion at the usual monthly meeting of the borough council on Tuesday evening. Various councillors asked whether some of the ■ boarding-houses and motor garages had water meters. The town clerk said that it was just a question of how far the council proposed to enforce its by-law on this matter as under the existing bylaw everyone who had even a trough should have a meter. , Cr. Hitehens pointed out that it cost the borough nothing to produce tho water and he thought that ratepayers should be allowed to use the water without meters and that those meters now in existence should he cut out. Cr. Hitehens proposed that the conduit meters should be cut out. Cr. Budd asked why the matter
should be dealt with so preeipitately. ■. Cr. Tabb moVed that the whole question should be discussed in the New Year at a special meeting. After some further discussion this proposal was agreed to. 1
