H. Epps Menu- faeturing Ltd, Herbert Bridle stated he had hot wanted to see council go in hY acclamation, but now that there Was a good slate of names, he had decided to stand. He felt it Would be good to have an election, Speaking of two retiring officials he said, Mr. Trewartha has been a steadying influence on the rest of us younger councillors. "If I thought I could stay in municipal work for that many years and face the public as well as Nelson has done, ra be proud of it," said Mr. Bridle. He complimented Geo- rge Beattie on his service during the past year, the toughest of his time on council. "Anyone who has given four years to. the town can consider he has done a good job." Mr, Bridle has been a councillor for the past three years, George Rumball Confirmed the opinion of those before him, who said Clinton was a good town.

Mr. Rumball served on the PVC in 1954 and 1955. George Beattlo had earlier an- nounced his intention to withdraw from council. However, he qual- ified this statement by saying that if there should not happen to be enough men to fill the six seats on council, then he would stand, Mr. Beattie noted that the pub- lic works committee of which he was chairman had run into a de- ficit of $3,000, which he felt could have been eliminated if they had stopped paving when money ran out, "But who would have wanted us to quit with only one block to finish?" He recommended that in future, work begun in one year should be finished then, not left for the next year's council to com- plete. However, he said his com- mittee had begun the year with a deficit of $4,800, and so they had actually counted a surplus of $1,800 on the 1958 work. Mr. Beattie spoke in praise of oiling, rather than using calcium on the gravelled streets. He sug- gested to the people of town that they get to know who the ward chairman was in their ward, and consult him with regard to streets problems. Concerning the cemetery board, he commended the clerk for his assistance to the board in watch- ing the perpetuity payments; praised the board for their effic- iency and noted the use made of the vault during winter months, He also complimented Herb Bridle on his care of the streets committee work with the gas mains this summer. Mr. Beattie has been a council- lor since 1955. Norman Livermore told the peo- ple not to blame Jim Manning, the local assessor, if they found their taxes too high, but to con- sider the fact that the county assessor also made adjustments in rates. He had been head of the Court of Revision this year; had been ward chairman for the streets committee in St. James' Ward and believed in paving, but not if it meant putting the town "in the red". Commenting on a sports direct- or, he said such a man was all right if the town can afford one, but he didn't think Clinton could, just now. The service clubs had been appointing capable men to take charge of the various sports activities. A director would cost around $4,000, and there would still have to be men appointed in charge of the different teams. He stated that he felt the sug- gestion of a sports director had been made by the press, and com- mented on the fact that one of the minor teams had fallen through last year. He said the reason the juvenile baseball team had not prospered was because some of the boys playing on the team were also playing midget; and it was too much for them to do. He was glad the midgets had done as well as they had, and praised the News-Record for the support given the team. He was interested too in the club operat- ed downstairs in the town hall for the elder men, saying that about 60 members made use of the club room. He said he was glad to work on council, and would stand if the people wanted him. Mr. Liver- more was councillor in 1954; com- pleted part of the year 1955 when Dr. McIntyre had passed - away, and had been on council since then. J. D. Thorndike, M. J. Agnew, Don Symons, were not present. Acclamation None of the school board nom- inees were present to give a report of their work on the board, nor to answer questions of the rate- payers. Named were George Lavis, K. W. Colquhoun and Clay- ton Dixon. These men received an acclamation for two year term to the six man board. The public school board is re- sponsible for the spending of $40,000 annually, budgeted for by the town council, This is nearly 20 percent of the entire year's budget. Mr. Lavis has been a member of the board since 1953; K. W. Colquhoun since 1955 and C. Dix- on, now the chairman, has been on the school board since 1953. PUC Acclamation A. "Red" Garon noted that he was proud of the slate presented for council, but not so of the public school, and the PUC. He said, "This is not fair: you have no choice. You have to elect me." Charles Brown said he had en- joyed his four years on the PUC, and gave a brief report of the year's progress; Consumption of water at Clinton and Station Clin- ton, all pumped by the PUC is now 175 million gallons per day. There are 39 new customers in 1958, compared with 17 new ones in 1957. In the sewerage system, there are 28 new customers hooked up in 1958, compared with 13 during 1957. On hydro there are 36 new electric power customers, compar- ed with 1957. The rebuilding pro- gram of the lines is nearing com- pletion, Transformer capacity has increased by 350 horse power; the KWH load has inereased by 608,- 000. Revenue from hydro is now $106,010, up almost $10,000 while cost of power to date is $61,403 in 1958, about $6,000 more than at this time last year.
