In moderate way to start on the same
lines In this matter Mr.. Libby said that
1t would be great thing for the derar
ment ~ pig gerry could be maint9 In d
and the farm be made as self. sustaining
as possible. But there were as many
things against this icing inAugurated az
there were In favor of 1t. The cost TO
municipality of o0ileotinR the of1s'
would he greater than that Of an individ-
ual. IL the depai tnsnt adopts the meth

There should be- somebody t. whom
complaints could be made. Mr.. Coles-

Mr.. Libby would very much favcr tlst
Mr.. ColssWoItby to tse official head, ana
tsrt a small snIary be given him for his
troubls. The que: ton should he very
carefully considered. A greet deal OF
bslp would probably be needed In look

siderable discussion. AIR. Cloudy insisted
that such q course be taken and mir.
