An­ other told us that we were “all wet” whatever that means. Reeve Fran­ cis has intimated that he will not- run another election and we have since learned that 'Councillor D. Rowcliffe, is being urged by a number of ratepayers to stand for the Reeveship. We have interview­ ed Mt. Rowcliffe and he tells us that while pressure is being brought to bear he has not as yet definitely de­ cided to throw his hat in the ring. There is, however, art agitation from some quarters to return the present council by acclamation and we un­ derstand that in such an event the old members are willing to serve for another term. * Nominations will be held Monday, December 26th and an election, if necessary, on Monday, January 2nd.
