These time sheets should include name, date, time started at the Village Hall, time ended at the Village Hall, road or area worked on, truck number if he was a driver.

Also, slips should be picked up by the Tuedday before each Council Meeting and given to the Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Building Inspector The Council decided to accept the recommendation that as the inspector receives 2/3 of the cost of the building permits and is eligible for mileage, giving him an hourly wage for posting notices is out of the question. However, at the budget meetings they will look into the matter of raising mileage from 7 1/2/ per mi. to 10/ per mi. Clerk and Deputy Clerk Mr. L'Allier made a motion to accept the recommendation to raise the wage of the Deputy Clerk from $1.65 per hr. to $2.35 per hr. effective Jan. 1, 1968, also to grant mileage to both Clerk - Treasurer and Deputy Clerk effective August 1, 1967, at the rate of 7 1/2/ per mi. for extra travel only, not for meetings or special meetings. Seconded by W. Ross. Carried unanimously. Police Insurance Mr. Bohjanen made a motion to accept the committee's recommendation that as the police are covered under Workmen's Compensation, which has an adequate death benefit, there is no reason for adding extra financial burden to the Village. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Ross took the Chair for the meeting with the Park Board, thanking the Personnel Commission for their fine work. Mr. L'Allier stated that Herb Miller was asking $500 per acre for his 32 acre plot on Reshanau Lake and had other interested buyers. He apparently was willing to carry the mortgage for 10 yrs. at 4% interest. Discussion followed. Mr. Bohjanen made a motion to give Mr. L'Allier and the Park Board immediate authority to negotiate and discuss long -range plans on the proposed park land with Mr. Miller. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. It was mentioned that there was a stucco house on Suicide Corner, now being used by the State Highway Dept., which might be moved into Sunrise Park for use by the caretaker.
