Russell Town Council sat as a court of revision to the general assessment roll last Thursday. The Russell Curling Rink was approved for exemption from the roll. Lillian Sebaski’s appeal was not allowed. The council then met to consider building new sidewalks and repairing existing ones. H Pounder of Winnipeg said he cannot build new walks this year but hopes to complete repairs this fall. All council members were present. The chamber of commerce ratepayers meeting request was turned down, though any group could call such a meeting and the council would attend.
