Yours truly
,
I return herewith the two copies of the above mentioned
by-law which you have submitted to this office. This by-law
appears to be in order except in that there should be a limit
to the number of miles allowed at the rate of $ cents per mile.
I would suggest that this portion of paragraph 4 should read as
follows: "AND AN ALLOWANCE OF$ CENTS PER ~ŒLE FOR THE USE OF
HIS CAR TO A LIlVIITOF 20 000 MILES AND TRAVELLING EXPENSES."
,
If the road committee and Mr. Moore do not agree with the
20,000 mile figure this could be changed. Will you please let
us have this by-law with the suggested change as soon as possible.
