+ @ The people are fed up with the warfare that

@ The work of the Town Council in the com-
ing year will be blacktopping, water improvements,
revising the zoning bylaw, ae the Arena roof,
and with -T'stand for
a blacktopping program that will: use adequate pre-
paration, first-class _ material, drainage where ne-
cessary, and such funds as. are voted, to surface
every street of consequence in the town, Such a pro-

‘gramme will be the first item of businesg in. the

new year and will require hard study to be ready
for a voting. bylaw in’ the early spring.

@ The completion of the bylaw on water sys-
tem: improvement, including a new tank, is of high-
est priority. An overhaul of our present No. 1 well
to increase its capacity, or alternatively, a new well,
is absolutely necessary early next year if we are
to avoid a dangerous summer shortage of water.

e a recent zoning bylaw, while a good ‘be-

i of the. town, has un-
fair stipulations within‘ the text, inadequate pro-
visions for apartment building, and a vagueness ‘in
some of the wording. These. inadequacies should be
thoroughly. studied,“ discussed. in public assembly,
and the wisest judgment used in the amending ‘of
the law.

@ The Arena has problems which will. have to
be progressively’ dealt with over the next few years.
It is certain that the roof. must be ‘renewed next
summer. ‘The min ‘arch footings are in a few cases
rotting out ‘and’ will need resetting ‘in concrete. I
