Mayor B. H. Yeo Gives Best Wishes To Montague Citizens
MONTAGUE — The following is a New Year's message from
Mayor Bruce H. Yeo, to the citi- '
zens of Montague. “Once again it is my privilege to extend best wishes to you on
behalf of myself and the Monta- i gue Town Council and to thank
one and all for the cooperation and assistance given the council during 1958.
During 1957 our "pay as you go” policy has been continued and once again our town is debt free. Assessed valuation of pro- perty has increased slightly dur- ing the year. due to new proper- ties being built and others im- proved. The main increase in re- venue comes from the per capita grant paid incorporated towns being increased from $3 per per-
son to $9.
‘ The street department com- pleted a program of paving the area between the main street and sidewalk in the business area as well as paving Fraser Street. Queen Street. Rink Street and School Street, all with heavy asphalt.
EQUIPMENT ADDED
Late this year a valuable piece of emripment was added to the fire department. it being a pumper truck. equipped with a water tank. a large quantity of hose. ladders. extinguishers and other smaller items. There were. fortunately. no serious fires in the town during the past year. although the department answered several calls that might have proved serious had it not been for prompt action.
The council chambers were improved with the addition of new the town. Alterations are now underway in the fire hall to per- mit entry of a third fire truck and will be completed in the spring. Also. the property to the rear of the town building has been acquired. which can be used in the future for expansion of the building. parking or a small park overlooking the river.
Last spring we were honored to have a visit from the Gover- nor—General of Canada, the Hon- orable Vincent Massey. His Hon-

The town's fire fighting equip- ment, which was purchased from war asseth at the end of the last war. has now reached an age when difficulties in it‘s operation reduces it's effectiveness and this in mind the mayor and coun- cil have been giving much thought to the purchase of a more modern type of fire engine and tank truck. Negotiations have been underway for some time and it is expected that a citizens meeting, called by the town will be held within weeks. on this matter.
During the past year the coun- cil passed a by-law prohibiting
