Reeve Hamilton Plans To Retire This Year —22a__ And The Resulting Developments Of This Action Are Problematic As Nomination Night Approaches. Alfter seven years of 'municipa1 service, culminating in a two-year term in the reeve’s chair, Mr. A. W. Hamilton, has definitely planned, to rietire at the end of the . year. Unless lifr/ Hamilton is prevailed upon to serve another year, it is problematic what may be the result of this vacaricj£ when nomination night rolls around a week- frdrn Monday. , Councillor Alderson with six years on the board, from point' of service, is in line for the reeveship. Mr^ Anderson has stood two elec­ tions. The first time he was low man to be elected, but two years ago was re-elected at the head of the poll. Councillor Murdie 'is the other member of the Board, who from point of-service, is also in line for the reeveship, but who has hot. expres­ sed any aspirations' tel head the local government. Reeve Hamilton who has efficient­ ly and fearlessly presided during the past two years, states he is well sat­ isfied to-step out, feeling that he has been well used bv the .ratepayers, in general during his'tenor of office. Nomination night developments give promise of being watched with blue coat with matching accessories. On their return they took up resi­ dence on the bridegroom’s farm at St. Helen’s.

The .Village ". Council,- had their house pretty well in order and, the final regular session. of the yiear on Monday night, was a brief pne that consisted chiefly, of routine business.

Conley for damages done his car when it crash- . ed into the Chpistmas, tree on main street last week..

With the local school recently . raised to the status of a High School a different system of selecting a . Board of Trustees, is set out by De- • ■partmental tegnilations. A High * School-Board consists of seven mem- Ibers, one more than the ^pres^nt •Board of six members. These sevqh receive their position by appointment rather than election. Three members are appointed by tibe County Coun • cil, three by the Village Council and one member by the Public School . Board. The Public School Board is $till entirely a iolial matter and the six trustees of this body are elected by the ratepayers, three ,each yehr for a two-year teriri. The retiring mem­ bers this year are Rev. C. H. Donald, Dr. W. V. Johnston Hugh McIntosh. All three, are ible for re-election; . Thus it can been seen .that two sep­ arate bodies would comprise a total of 13 members. But as . both the public and the high school are iri- c<yrpdrated in the- ofte building And- ■with the interests of the two schools as one, no difficulty is anticipated in this respect, and it is expected that a Board of 7 members will handle the affairs of both schools. ThiS; can be Accomplished- by the County I and the Village each appointing three of the elected ’Public with an additional l-to be appointed.
