Clarke Two Council Inaugural Meeting Summary
Clarke Township held its inaugural meeting on Tuesday with Rev. B Long assisting and Reeve John Stone hosting a luncheon at the Coach and Four north of Orono. The business session appointed committees including Road and Bridge led by Robert Chater, Property and Finance led by Lorne Perrault, and Planning led by O H Falls. Additional appointments covered fire protection, police liaison, agriculture representation, and various boards. A welfare committee was authorized to spend up to 200 dollars monthly and a welfare administrator is to be appointed later. Authority to the Orono Park Board to borrow 1000 dollars was granted, with further provisions for road subsidies and attendance at a Good Roads Convention. The meeting also noted reappointments to local authorities and committees, and discussed prior filings regarding livestock evaluation, land use by Mr. A Pos, and school additions funded from current funds. The narrative then shifts to national industry notes about Canadian manufacturing and exports for context.
