He reported that he had changed the location of staff in the Municipal Building to advantage, and co-ordinated the staff. He felt that fewer Committee Meetings would be necessary if more information available to Council. The following p~$()Nß on MOTION I were heard: 1. AGREED Pawlo Vakula be heard: Mr. Vakula built a small barn on his ~.36 acres in Concession 1, Lot 20. without a building permit. He was told if he took out a building permit his application for Hydro would be approved. Mr. Vakula stated he rented six adjoining acres and operated a fruit and vegetable growing business. He had made living quarters in the barn so that he could operate and act as a night watchman for perhaps eight months each year.

Graham and Co., Wood Gundy & Company, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which form a syndicate to purchase bond issues. that Over the period 1950 to 1956 they did by tender and agreement purchase most of this Township's bonds; that normally the Town- ship would be well advised to tender on sale of debentures, but with the Township needing $1,500,000.00 in 196~ they felt a fiscal agency would be better.
