process of near publication.
Mr. Fred Garlic said the Directory was a fine idea but he ididn't
like the man that was in charge. He was very mean to the public.

people by phone and become very nasty about payment, he wouldn't
go personally to see the people. Mr. Garlic said he didn't approve
of his methods or that he was the one in charge. '
Mayor Cairnie said that was his problem to collect and not that
of the City Council.
