Public Works Plans Await Approval From Government
The town mayor and council discuss proposed Main street improvements including east side sidewalks from the CNK tracks to Third Avenue and a new street lighting system. The project awaits provincial and federal approval, with sidewalks prioritized before lighting. Last year two blocks of west side sidewalk were rebuilt under relief funds. If approved, lighting and sidewalks will share half the material cost and 20 percent of labor. Local businessmen praise the plan as boosting circulation and community spirit.

Part of Distribution System to Be Rebuilt
A plan to rebuild part of the town’s electrical system moves all power lines to back lanes except a duplicate primary feeder on Gladys Street to Fifth Avenue. The new setup allows isolation of any south area while keeping adjacent areas powered. Mr. Cock cites a past Prentice barn fire when lines were cut, causing south towns to lose service.
