Though there had been’some delays and dlffl- culties in. obtaining“ the necess- ary equipment, it had: been put in last July, and was operating _ very favorably.

Coun- cil is of the opinion it.may not! be possible to engage another' clerk on-a part-time basis, and the position will likely be made 8 full. time job. ‘to handle these matters, the regulations are a joke. He -t hoped this: could be done with a rise in‘ taxes for educational pur- poses, ‘“as you know the school board has gone to arbitration on teacher’s. salaries. He felt the in- crease might be up to 2 mills. ‘The future must ‘be consid- ered also in the case of Commis- sioner’s indemnities, which might be raised at some time. thanked the maintenance ae who had been 80 co-operative at all times, For the Finance committee, reported .the.
