on „ December 30th. The present
council, Reeve Wm. J, Kay, Coun
cillors Joseph Atkinson, John W.
Hackney, Frank Allen and Lloyd
Colquhoun was again returned to
office by acclamation for a two-
year term. When the nomination
was closed Jas. Scott was chosen
to he chairman and in a very able
manner addressed the audience on
current events pertaining to muni
cipal matters and invited the Coun
cil to the platform. The Reeve
and Councillors very ably explain
ed to the ratepayers that were pre
sent the past year’s business and
expressed their appreciation of be
ing returned to. office. Mr, Kay
gave a clear and interesting ad
dress as to the County work dur
ing the past year and also dealt
very thoroughly with Township
affairs explaining to the ratepayers
that at tbe end of 1938 when the
present council took office the total
debt of the Township of Hibbert was
$9,250.00 with a surplus of §4,755
and at the end of 1940 Hibbert is
clear of debt with a surplus of $5,-
668,57 plus the Provincial Govern
ment Road subsidy of approximate
ly $3,400, making a total surplus
considering the road subsidy of $9,-
068.57. Mr. Kay also explained
that to accomplish this the taxes
had not been raised but to the con
trary had been lowered some. It
was also pointed out that due to
world conditions our taxation would
certainly increase and that Hibbert,
with no debt and a surplus such as
we have would certainly put the tax
payer in much better standing than
if the Municipality was in debt.
The meeting closed with the sing
ing of the National Anthem.
