J. Jones; W. 0. Goodwin by G. E. Brock and Fred Manns; John Shepherd by 0. Geiger and Geo. Brock. Public Utilities—Thos. Welsh by Owen Geiger and Wm. Shepherd. As there were just three nomin ated for 'School Trustees and one for the Public Utilities the Returning Officer declared Alfred Clark, Wil fred 0. Goodwin and John Shepherd elected school trustees for 1937 and Thos. Welsh elected to- the Public Utilities Commission. A public meeting was held after t'he nomination- with James Pater son presiding. The candidates were called to the platform and the first called on ,w!as Mr. A. ,L. Case, secre tary of the School Board. Mr. Case reviewed the school work for the year, the grants made by the Legislature and County and said the board would have a nice surplus at the end of the year. He gave the cost of installing the new boiler at the school and that it would save its cost in fuel in a few years. Trustee Goodwin also made a short address on the work of the school and particularly stressed that in the case of contagious diseases in the family to> 'keep those affected away from other children so it will not effect the school attendance more ' than necessary. As .the school grants are effected by the school attend ance it was advisable to have the children at school as much as pos sible. Reeve Geiger was then called on and gave a review of the work done by the council during the year. He expressed his sorrow at the death of Councillor Wm. Sangster during the year. He gave a report on county finances and gave the reason for some of the increased expenditure incurred by the county. Councillors Jones, Hamilton and Brock and Shaddick gave short ad dresses. During the address of Reeve Geig er he spoke on Hydro matters and read a number of letters from the Auditors of the Ontario Hydro' Com mission .referring to- the complaints of Mr. Filshie on local hydro affairs Filshie complains that the financial reports of the Ontario' Hydro. Com mission and the local Commission do not agree and has been trying for several months to get a satisfactory explanation. The auditor of the On tario Hydro Commission states that their report is for their own use and purely for statistical purposes and that the audit .of our own municipal auditors on the receipts and expen ditures of our own local commission is the proper one for the use of t'he Hensall ratepayers. We have gone carefully over the local hydro ac counts and with the exception of the amount due on one hydro debenture we believe the accounts are correct and our hydro affairs are in a flou rishing condition. We believe that some of the receipts and expendi tures of both the County and the village should be more satisfactorily explained by1 our own local auditors as to the mode of payment of these accounts especially between the Co. Treasurer and County Engineer and our local Treasurer. Ilf this was done our people would understand these payments better and would do away with most of the dissatisfac tion. We have a very low tax rate this year 28 mills, every department of our municipal Government well man aged and in a very prosperous con dition and we 'have a good list of town officials. Our debenture debt is being rapidly paid off. There is plenty of money on hand to pay the remaining hydro debentures. The Fire Engine Debentures were paid off in 1936 and the balance of the Fire Equipment will be paid in 1937. The other debentures are The Black Creek Drain due in 1939; balance of Town Hall Debentures due in 1939 and the last payment on the school debenture is due. in 19 41. and these amounts are comparatively small. On Saturday evening at 9 o’clock the following had qualified: iFor ReeVe.—'Owen Geiger and Ernest Shaddick. For Council—William J. Jones, A. Hamilton, George Brock, William Shepherd anid Orville Twitchell. All of these gentlemen have had municipal experience except Mr. Twitchell who is one of ou.r younger business men. The big fight will be for the Reeve ship. Mr. Geiger has had a long municipal career was reeve a number of times before the Great War, and was County Warden, we believe, in 1911. He was also reeve in 1923, 24, 2'5, 26, 27, 31, 32 and 36. Mr. Shaddick is one of our young er men cominig to tllie front in muni cipal life. He was village auditor for several years, entered the coun cil for the first time in 1936 and was a very able councilman. At the time of the war he enlisted in t'he 161st Battalion and Served in France and on his return went iiito busi ness for himself as a painter and deorator which he is still engaged in.. An election will he held here on Monday, December 7th to fill the of fices of reeve and councillors, Foil No. 1 will be held in the Council Chamber with Gordon Parkier as D.R.O. and Scott Welsh P.O. Poll No. 2, in the waiting room of the hall with Nelson Blatchford D.R.O. and Robert Higgins P.O.
