oar
council and those in the past, He
had decided to let his name stand,
if the electors wanted him to.
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.
