Matsqui Council Meeting Discusses Grants and Road Works
The Matsqui council held a Saturday meeting with many outsiders in attendance to lobby for funding for the Abbotsford Sum as Agricultural Association. A petition from sixty two residents urged a grant from public funds for the fair, noting southern residents face less convenient proximity to the grounds. Officers debated grants, pedlar taxes, and power line routes with Western Canada Power Company, granting pole rights and inviting a company representative to next session. Several road and subdivision matters were approved or laid over, including a 800 grant request on the Page Road and a 66 foot wide public road corridor between Harrop and Ware property plus other highway decisions.
