Case, Sec-iTreas. of the school board was first called, on, and gave a report of the school work for the year. He stated that as the j nomination meeting was held earlier this year 'that he could! not give a very full report as their financial year did not close" till the end of. December. He compared the gov-; eminent grants received by the | board in <1928 and 1934, the grants being $500; less in 19 34, but every thing at the school was going on satisfactorily. Reeve Jones was then called on and gave a good account of the work of the council in 193 4. He touched on county affairs and his vote on the Bluewater Highway, the repairing of the Town Hall and the community shed and other worn or the 1934 council. The council was able to re duce the tax rate from 33 to 30 mills this year and, hoped that a further reduction could be made next year. He said! that he would be a. candi date again and asked for good sup port. Councillors Sangster and. Sheppard both thanked their mover and sec onder for the honor of another nom ination but they would not cause an election if enough qualified! they were willing to step ou't. Mr. Geiger was then called on and gave a good address. He did not have much criticism to offer this year, He touched on relief, some county matters and Mr. Jones’ vote on the Bluewater Highway. Mr. Geigei' said that he would! be a cand- didate for the reeveship and, asked for support, particularly as 'the Old Boys’ and Gidls’ were coming home in 1935 and he was able to handle the situation, Mr, J. W. Ortwein, the third! can didate for the reeve’s chair, stated that he wo'uld not cause an election, but would he willing to occupy the chair if given an acclamation. He thought there was no need for an election this year. He took up the matter of the Transient Traders’ by-law and explained how it recent ly affected', his store. He had, no other criticism 'to offer. Mr. .Tones made a good reply and is still satisfied that his vote on the Bluewater Highway was correct. The Ontario government having ag reed to, in future, pay the full cost of highway construction instead of 80 per cent, as now and as this is a hard road, to maintain, >it being taken over by the government would be a great relief to the county.. Mr. I Geiger stated that he would like to I be Reeve on account of the Old Boys 'coming in 193F, but IMr. Jones, thought, that if one, more than an other was entitled to the honor it should be Mr. Geo. C, Petty, who was the first Reeve of Hensall and is ,stljl an honored member of the council. This is a record that is hard to ibeat.
