The rural council asked the municipal commissioner to release 35000 from the reserve fund to repair flood damage. They expect provincial grants to match part of the sum, while taxes for the year are already spent on repairs and road-building grants. Delegations pressed for drainage over roads as floods recur, with Gartmore farmers pledging about 1200 toward ditch clearing and rebuilding.
