under discussion Mr.. Foster of Bur
lington, their manager, explained that

was installed. b. A. Sumner, an insur-
ance agent, explained that there might
be an increase j. G. Frattini argued
against permitting the company to in
stall the new tank on the grounds that

aged. The council did not take any ac-
tion, but after adjournment the mem
bers went to the site, where the COM
pany plans to set the tank and looked
over the conditions, b. A. Sumner Will

ance exchange and Mr.. Foster relative
to his company paying the increased
rates if such should be decided best, and
both will report to the meeting Wednes-
day evening.
