At the recent meeting of the
Kinnaird local Association to the
Girl Guides, Mrs, R. Heagy be-

Mrs. C, McKenzie was returned
as secretary and Mrs. J. Hen-
dricks continued as treasurer.

It was decided that in future
LA meetings: would be held on
the first Tuesday of every mon-

D. & Martin, regional en.
gineer at Nelson, wrote Mr. Gag-
lardi that “from on engineering
viewpoint, construction of the
new highway had very little, it
any, effect on the water flow
which affects the Village of Kin-
naird,

“Tf therefore would recom-
mend that this department should
accept no further obligations to-

On Dec, 1, 1958, members of
the highways department met
with the Kinnaird council and
the agreement reached was that
the department would suppiy the
necessary culvert pipe to carry
the water from the present high-
way to the Columbia river bank.
Kinnaird “was to be respon.
sible for the installation and all
future maintenanca” The de-
partment’s contribution was val
