Fort Frances Council Tonight

Fort Frances councillors will get an update today on Union Gas' plans to upgrade its infrastructure in the town.

The gas company is spending $10-million to replace old lines and meters and began its two-year project in the west end last year.

Also at tonight's regular meeting of council, a decision on whether to proceed with a planned increase in councillors salaries.

Mayor Roy Avis had asked that the increase, approved earlier this year, get a re-think in light of Premier Dalton McGuinty's comments that municipalities consider holding the line on employee wages.

The public portion of tonight's meeting gets underway at about 6:20 p.m.
