natural ones are The only point on which the entire Council agreed was that no-one on the Council, nor the Secretary-Treasurer, has any knowledge of what information has been placed on the court files in support of our Municipality's action against Claude Ryan, nor of the information placed on the file in defense of the position of the Minister.They should prepare for lots surprises.I 4M an scenery such as that found in any Pontiac has a real market value that mm 4M more our families, our greatest possession is what's left of our natural home.We Those who oppose these projects should not depend on someone from stand to gain nothing personally outside to come in and tell us what from any success they may have, it's worth.The community at large gains enormously from their efforts, even Mary Tudor Quyon I don ft remember!
