After much discussion it was felt that the old Woollen Mill property could be subdivided to fulfill the needs of each. 1988 Budget: As a result of the annual rate­payers meeting on November 10th, considerat­ions to'Be included into the budget as ex­pressed by those in attendance were ambulance service, street lighting, fire hydrants and fire equipment. East Magrath Rural. Water Users Co-Op: A motion was made by Councillor Groenhof to grant permission to the East Magrath Rural. Water Users Co-Op to tie into the Town's water supply system with the same consideration as required by Magrath Northern and Northwest Magrath Water Co-Ops. Handicapped Parking: A motion ves made by Councillor Dahl stating that a sign designating handicapped park­ing be installed on the south side of the crosswalk, in front of the arena. 4th St. East: A culvert1 extension will be added to the culvert in place where Harker Ave. joins 4th St. East. Water Billings: Magrath Northern Water Co-Op has re­quested that they not be billed for water when away iron home for extended periods of time but concensus ._ of Council, was that the original, terms of the agree­ment be adhered to, those terms being to pay the month­ly water rate of $2.50 per 1000 gallons with a minimum payment of $20 per month. Because there has been con­siderable difficulty collecting payment on water acc­ounts of rental properties, letters will be sent to landlors of rental properties requesting that the water charges be included in the rental payments and that the landlord forward the water payments to the Town. Minor Hockey: A request was received from Minor Hockey to install shower stalls into the extra vacant roan in the arena and to use the room as a dressing room but Council, agreed that the room be left1 as is until funds are available to complete it for use as a multi pur­pose room. Arena Revenue: Ticket sales at the arena are comparable to last year. Discussion re charges for season passes resulted in agreement that the prices are at an aff­ordable level and that they should remain as they are. Grants: Moved by Mayor Balderson that the public be informed that the monies given to various organizations over the past several years were largely Provincial grants allocated to these organizations by the Town. CHRISTMAS PRAYER It's Christmas, Father And as we remoiiber the gift of Thy Son Our hearts gratefully overflow. We cannot follow the star to Bethlehem For Bethlehem was long ago. But as vre tune our hearts We radiate Thy light And feel again the wonder of the Heavenly birth. We bring snail tokens, Lumps of love, Brightly wrapped Or service sanctified, And give Thy gift instead to Thy children About us. Accept our offerings. Teach us to keep Thy light before us, Consecrate our gifts. Fresh bathed in pure giving As we follow the star And kneel again before the manger To worship the King. - Elizabeth Davies Olsen.
