that we Will never in od's
world ever attract industry to
Clinton with 'the present her,
riblY-arrangal, mixed-up state
of planning which now exists.
We all know why we must have
proper planning and, zoning. We
all also know why we must
have the Building Code, I have
already mentioned the arena
collapse at LisitoWel, !and I also
think of another collapse—for-
tunately with no loss of lives
— of a four-torey apartment
house because of weak founda-
tions, and also of the collapse
of an entire bottling plant be,
cause of structural defects in
the building erected in 1959.
Those are some reasons why We
need the Building Code, and
good planning and zoning are
necessary before any sensible
industrialist would ever consid-
er 'an operation 'here,
There are many •other tellies
involving the welfare of Clin-
ton which 'interest me but
Which I cannot expand on be-
cause of lack of space.
I can only' promise you that
if it is your will to elect me as
your deputy-reeve in 1965, I
will do my very 'best and all in
my power to obtain the best
for you and for 'the Town of
Clinton.

(Continued from Page Four)
ber of phone calls to various
people that I believed would
know, both legal and otherwise,
here in Clinton and, in Londbn.
I Was informed that while
they, 'too, had much the same
impression of whether I could
stand or not, I was told that
they could find no place in the
Municipal Act that stated that
the Town Clerk could refuse. to
.(1) accept my nomination land
(2) also to refuse. to accept my
qualification for the office.
In consultation with me.
John Livermore I stated my
position as such. I felt that
should I fail 'to qualify within
the prescribed 'time on Satur-
day, and at a later date found
out that I could indeed have
qualified, it would then be too
late. However, if I put my
name down on the qualification
paper on Saturday, we should
phone to the Municipal Board
early Monday morning to see
just What was correct. If they
said that I was ineligible, I
would readily resign all claims
to this office.
Early Monday morning a call
went through to Toronto and
Mr. Livermore was informed,
that legally I could not hold
office in the Town Council and
remain an employee of the
PUC. In addition it was point-
ed out to him :that he had in-
deed acted correctly. He could
not refuse to accept my nomin-
ation or my signing of the qual-
ification paper. In other wordS,
while I could not run for Coun-
cil, no one person had' the pow-
er to stop me.
We were both somewhat sur-
prised, but the most surprising
thing was yet come. Upon
hearing .that I would be inelig-
ible, I offered to resign immedi-
ately and was told that I could
not. Even if I wanted to re-
sign, and thus save the Town
the few dollars that the bal-
lots for Council would cost, I
could not do so. I have to now
run for this office, and cannot
resign until after the election.
I have been told that if I
should be elected, I can sit on
the Towii Council, apparently
legally, until such time as some-
one Wishes' to unseat me and
makes an effort to do so.
It can readily 'be seen that
if the nomination night had
been on a Monday, as so ,often
an the past, correct information
about my _eligibility could have
been obtained the .next day, and
would' have immediately re-
fused to qualify,. The section
of the Municipal Act that ap-
pears to make me ineligible
states that if I am " or
officer,. employee, or servant of
the corporation of a municipal-
ity" It is true that the PVC
cannot issue debentures but
must have tem issued by 'the
Town, (although the PUC pays
for them,) However, the PUC
receive's no money from the
Town as do the School Boards,
Fire Dept., etc. So the inter,
pretation of the -Act becomes
important. Einployees of a
School Board, .such as caretak,
ers, cannot run for, any of these
offices, but; the teachers
are hired, by the same Board
apparently can legally do so.
Members of -Clinton's volunteer
fire department cannot run be-
cause they are retained at a
small' yearly amount. However,
in SeafOrth) the members of
their fire department, just as
voluntary, can 'legally run for
Council and I !am told have
done so. The difference is that
in Seaforth ,the ToWn Connell
makes a ltfinp slim .payment to
the Fire Brigade and then' the
members of that Brigade can
do as they Wish with that mon-
ey-. , They can have a glorions
party, buy insurance, or divide
it arricing, theinselvets.
What started out as an hon-
est effort to serve my Munici,
ptality if at all possible has re-
sulted in the emibaraSsing posi-
tion Where I am calming an
election for the Council seats,
against my own wishes. What
makes it all the more embaras-
sing is that it .appears that
even though I may not be elig-
ible to hold office because of
my employment, apparently I
can legally be nominated, no
one can prevent me from quali-
fying, and then I am automatic-
ally on the ballot, and can be
elected. When elected I can
then sit on Council, unless or
until someone wishes to have
me unseated. And even though
I may find some reason to re-
sign between qualification and
election, I cannot do so.
I am writing this letter be-
cause I feel that I owe an ex-
planation not only to the 'elec-
tors of Clinton, but also to my
fellow candidates. I sincerely
hope that no one will attempt
to accuse me of using a new
and devious way of vote-get-
ting. I wish to repeat 'that it
was nothing but an honest ef-
fort to serve this town, if at
all possible. It is also neces-
sary 'to point out that our
Town Clerk, Mr. John Liver-
more, acted in a most helpful
and correct manner.
It would seem to both of us
that the Municipal Act could
certainly stand some revision
to make it much more explicit
and allow someone at the Mun-
icipal level to give the correct
answer..
Incidentally, I have no plans
of resigning from the PUC in
order to be properly qualified
for office.
