TOWN COUNCIL PLANS.
IL is quite possible that the newly
ed Warwick town council will not make

Monday, for the simple reason that some
or the councilmen have friends that they
want TO give office TO and his brother
councilman also has friends that he
would like To place on the towns pay
IL Is the plans OF the council at present
10 assign the road commit ssioners' job TO
one man, instead Of having four, this
would be a money-saving plan. for the
town. and, as the party could not raise
the tax from - cents to 30 cents on the
500 valuation at the town meeting. Tues
day. is quite possible that this will be
done. o
OFT FOR HEALTH OFFICER.
DR. +. a. Tirnghast OF Arctic Centre
Is in the field for health officer and IT is
expected that he will receive the appoint
fnent by the council on Monday.
Dr. Tillinghast served the party in

$50 for his services last year and this
amount should not be an inducement for
