later date to have each farm house
numbered.
The Ontario Kiwanls club, headed

from E. D. Frost, who bid $1124 for

sion and the health board will be
asked to notify the school directors
of the situation.
A “clean-up” week was discussed,
the aMyor notifying the council that
the city health board would soon
make a tour of the city taking no­
