Meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction. ’’ Mrs. Fairies, Sr., has returned home after receiving treatment in Victoria Hospital, CIVIC AFFAIRS AIRED 1 C. vntmuvd from page one) and he would secure what informa­ tion he could. The council had heard nothing about that Report. Not a word had been mentioned about relief until the last meeting night. Mr. Sanders had gone to Toronto without saying a word to the council He was not opposed to government relief neither had he heard one mem­ ber of the council state that he was opposed to government relief. He was a firm believer is looking after the ne^dy. The council did not take action because the matter was sprung on them and they asked1 that the matter be considered. Following the remarks of Mr. Rowcliffe charges and counter­ charges were being made and Rev, Mr. Down rose 'in the capacity or peacemaker, and stated that the meeting was pot called to hear What the reeve and councillors had said of each other and moved a resolu­ tion, seconded by J. Elston, “That we the ratepayers in session assemb­ led request the council to1 take the necessary steps to obtain the gov­ ernment relief.” Mr. T. Pryde requested to know if the Relief Commitee was regm- larly constituted and if the mattex- was in their hands or that of the council. He was informed that the Relief 'Committee was properly con­ stituted but there was doubt ex­ pressed a® to which body had the matter under control. Clerk Jos. Senior ■Clerk Jos. Senior was called to the platform to explain why lie dia not sign the statement. Mr. Senior stated that he made close study of the statutes and had tried to carry out his- duty. He stated that he was a servant of the municipality to try and carry out the bidding Of the council and keep an accurate record of all proceedings. There had been no instruction from the council' to secure government aid for relief. The council had never been asked to consider the Order-in-Council pre­ sented by Mr. Sanders at the meet- ting tonight. Until he had receiv­ ed some authority he felt he had no right to sign the statement. The discussion then turned to who had the authority to instruct Mr. Senior to sign whether the council or the relief committee. It was then that the motion was put to the gathering and was carried with only one dissenting vote. The chairman then stated that it was up to the council to take the advice of the meeting if they so desired and as one of the councillors had stated that they were not opposed to gov­ ernment relief he expected that the matter would be settled harmonious­ ly, The meeting closed with the National Anthem.
