Council commended Mr. Frith for his <br /> <br />interest and efforts in this cause. <br /> <br />Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council accepted the following <br /> <br />high bids submitted for the purchase from the City of the following tracts or <br /> <br />properties, as presented to Council at its May 11th meeting: <br /> <br />l.
