After this discussion it was decided to keep several employees on staff that had been given notice as of June 30th as they were no longer needed. This decision was based on two things: more work crews working, resulting in more repairs most likely having to be made and with better supervision and job expansion these employees can be more productive. I am sure these employees are capable of doing their job and our new supervisor is quite confident that performances will be satisfactory. So two employees will continue in their expanded job position. The gravel trucks are busy mostly down in the south part of the County. They won't be at the Brown pit until later on in the summer. Some arrangement might be possible if County residents' need gravel soon. The Provincial GoVt has approved our application to pave about 4 miles of 845 going north from the boundary with Taber. This project will be done in conjunction with theM.D. of Taber. In spite of the wet weather, construction has been going fairly well on the road east of Carmangay, nearly 3 miles completed to date. We have contracted 2 more dirt buggies to help speed things up. These 5 machines can move a lot of dirt in a day The new Western Star truck pulling the new B train gravel trailer seems to be working okay. It is a fairly impressive unit so you can watch for it when they start gravelling in this area. The other new truck should be ready by now. The Calgary firm that is installing the box and hoist are very behind due to the lack of welders. It is virtually impossible to hire any new people right now. Construction in Calgary is booming and anyone wanting to work there has a job. The County is asking for Tenders for the Marshall road so by next month we should have some news about this. County mowers are working around Lomond now and should be done there in a day or so. / Grant Lahd FOR SALE: ON LOT AND A HALF, 3 BEDROOM HOUSE INCLUDING STOVE, FRIDGE, WASHER AND DRYER, FULL BASEMENT, NEAR DOWNTOWN MILO. $49,000.

Mayor Bath advised that Mr. Agnew needs to submit a development permit to the Village of Milo’s Municipal Planning Commission. In By-law 299 he may be allowed to have an office and apply for discretionary use of a dwelling within the office building. It is up to the Municipal Planning Commission to decide on the restrictions that can be applied to this development or to reject this permit. The last Municipal Planning Commission in the Village was established in 1993, the two Village Councillors that were on this Commission are no longer in office, and the Village resident that was on this Commission is now on the Sub Division Appeal Board, once that position was accepted, they no longer are on the Municipal Planning Commission.

I see, now why so many people won t get involved. I take my hat off to of those who were previous councillors. A few people of this community have got councillors doing things and saying things that have never, been said nor thought. You have people disliking you for things that aren't even within your, means to do anything about or for some rumour that is going around town or Dust because they won't have done "it" that way. You have people saying you are doing things because of who you are friends with. It doesn't matter who you are friends with, someone always has something to say. And it isn't any different, no matter what community you live in. . I always believed that I was friends with pretty well everyone in this community. I have friends that I curl with, play baseball with, go to kids hockey games with, go to Bingo with, socialize with and I have friends that I just talk to on a daily or weekly basis. When I was first approached to run for council, I wasn't sure it was a good idea because I wasn't originally from this community and I hadn t lived here very long. But I was told by several people that the community needed an outsider and they all said "You'll be good for the job and this community." I believed what these people said and so ran for council. Since that time I have been talked about, lied about, lied to, had people stop talking to me, had people stick their noses up in the air and walk by and I have also been the gossip at the coffee shop on more than one occasion. I was always told by my mother that you should believe none of what you hear and only 1/2 of what you see. She also told me that if I really wanted to know the truth, to just go and ask that person. This very same Politics person told me that I had broad shoulders and big feet for good understanding. She also told me tha I was very bullheaded, but I had a kind heart. I think that the community of Milo is one of the best communities that I have ever lived in and I feel privileged to be a part of it. I know that this letter won't stop the rumours, it just might start a more. But if you want to know the truth on how "I feel" or "what I am thinking", just ask. I'm only a phone call away and the tea and coffee is always on.
