The Commission has been informed by the Inspector of Municipalities that, at the pre- sent time, they will..be unable to proceed with a money by-law for the purchase of a new fire truck. Mr, Rust reported that the Health Board had been contact- ed on the question of septic tanks and that the Inspector had agreed to attend a meeting at which he would give a talk on sewage problems, He warned that sub-division in too: small lots could prove deterimental to good sanitation, Mr, D, Rowe has been Sanitary Dear Editor, ae Begging your indulgence to pen a few questions on the “sup- tise moves” emanating from our Council? Chambers on January 28. Surely Mr. Editor your ness paper covered that meeting, al though your columns: did not disclose a very full report. What prompted Commission- er Cook and Clerk Horswill to resign so suddenly? Can a- Commissioner dis- charge his civic duties with 4 to 12 visits to the vilage office outside his regular meetings as cited by Commissioner Cook? Was the Village Inspector dis- charged and if so was he so not- ified? The absence in your columns of a full report of Council bus- iness at a time like this gives rise to rumours and you know how harmful they can be. Signed A RATEPAYER Discussion was held on the matter of indemnities for the council; this was posponed until a further meeting because of the absence of Commissioner Hen- dricks, One building permit was granted for addition in the amount of $1,100.

E. Norris Letters To The, ‘Editor... oie Castlegar News, Castlegar, B.C., Dear Sir; Td‘ me, Reflect- ions” has been, up until now, a very witty and amusing column. Now I no longer have confidence in anything written in sald col- umn. I was under the impression that the writer knew who, and what she was writing about. Af- ter reading last week's effort, I discovered, the poor old ‘thing, who’ is too old to wear a jazzy red hat, “knows not of what she writes,” The target of last week's column is a friend of mine. To my .personal knowledge I know that she has had Bylines in the Trail Daily Times, Nelson News, Vancouver Province, and a By- lined column in a Vancouver Weekly, Totalling the number of printed words of both writers, it might be interesting to see who has written the most. Of-course it is tough that the writer of "Afternoon Reflections” is stuck in a small town, and doesn’t have a chance to see what is going on in the world around her. If she could just travel a bit, she would realize what a vast amount of worthwhile mat- erlal there is to write about. If she would care to contact me, I could possibly give her some in- teresting material to make her column both honest and news- N. worthy.
