     PROPBRT! COMMITTEE— Mr. w. P. Macleod, chairman, reported that the 
     
     architect, HF. iii-Star, Fad made a thorough inspection of the church property 
     
     and reported that the building had "spread". at :keome. .previousrdatet' Careful 
     
     measurements and blue prints have been made and he recommended a check up at a 
     
     later date to see if this condition was becoming worse. The under- structure 
     
     of the church and the property throughout is all in pretty good condition. 
     
    

    
     The Comittee felt that the expenses should be light for the coming year. 
     
     Considerable damage had been done to the window in the front of the church 
     
    
   
   
    
     by the recent storm. Temporary repairs have been made by Mr. Gomoran 
     
     and on motion it was agreed that his bill should be paid when presented and 
     
     certified correct. Kr. Hunter had assured the committee that he could 
     
    
   
   
    
     get sufficient lead from Halifax to make a permanent repair Job on the 
     
    

    
     window at a reasonable cost. A bill from Currie & liarnaghans for $27.00 
     
    

    
     was presented and ordered paid when certified correct. Mr. Mutch stressed 
     
    

    
     the need of keeping Hr. Hunter's blue print in safe keeping for future references. 
     
    
   
   
    
     FUEL connm- The chairman, Mr. llacKee, "said that fuel for 1942 would 
     
     cost approxmtely 3500. more than on other years, as it would be necessary to 
     
     purchase a different grade of coal, Springhill screened now being unavailable. 
     
    
   
   
    
     LIGHT COIOJITI'EB- llr. Ainsworth presented the monthly bill for light and 
     
     power and assumed that the cost for the coming year would be about as usual 
     
     unless it was found necessary to make some changes in the lights in front of 
     
     the church. At the present time there is a leakage when these lights are 
     
     on. The Committee recommended that they be removed and lights placed on 
     
     front of the church with suitable fixtures at a cost of approximately $100.00 
     
     if the church funds would permit; otherwise they might contirme as at present 
     
     keeping cloae'watch on the light bill as at any time there might be a heavy 
     
     expenditure thrown up because of the aforementioned leakage. 
     
    

    
     The Secretary read. a letter from Miss Marion Saunders thanking the Board 
     
     for the use of the hall and enclosing $10.00 to cover light charges, etc. 
     
    
   
   
    
     'AIS All) MEANS CGMTTEB- The chairman, Mr. Gordon Avard, gave a splendid 
     
     report stating that His comttee had made a list of some four hundred people 
     
     who were supposed to be adherents of our church but who, for the most part, were 
     
     not contributing or attending. These names had been divided up and most of 
     
     them had been contacted; many had asked for envelopes and signified their will- 
     
     ingness to contribute. He felt that this canvass had been well worth while 
     
    
   
   
    
     and that the people had appreciated being called upon. They would make the 
     
     following recomendationsz-
