Do You Want an Established Library in Russell
A town meeting on Monday drew few attendees while voters prepare for Friday October 18 in the Council Chambers and ward polls. The issue asks if Russell should establish a library with a projected cost not exceeding one mill per assessment, or about $1 per person, plus provincial grants expanding access to reference books and services for students, homeowners, and non readers alike. A volunteer fire brigade is also urged amid concerns over personnel despite good equipment. Local business ownership changes include Bob Thom taking over the grocery from J Gallant and rumors of new management at Queen's Hotel and Russell Dry Cleaners.
