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.
Ariiong the bills that cartie up for
payment, was one for $8.90, being a
claim preSented by Ivan. Conley for
damages done his car when it crash- .
ed into the Chpistmas, tree on main
street last week.. Council failed to j
approve of payments of the. account,
. and a similar _fate , befell a relief.
adcoUrit of $15.00 for practical nurs
ing services during a confinement
case in November, as; relief did not
-start until December 1st." , , ■
Harvey- Ackert appealed against
his -implement business assessment t
of $15.75, which he believed to be
too high compared with the assess- -
ment of another1 such-, business. His
assessment was sustained ’uporf the
explanation that a business tax was
based on the. assessed value of the
' bui^in^iiT^wKich the business was
carried on.

from the H.. E. P.- C. regarding the
possibility of the village moving the
meter-from Holyrood to Lucknow, so
. that. locally the’ load b’eing . drawn
could be conveniently checked , and.,
the peak load controlled. •
That relief this Winter should be -
administered with , an Iron hand, w’as •
in effect, Reeve Hamilton's . opinion, I ,
because for ' the next four ' months •
this will no doubt be a problem fac- l
ing 'whatever Council is in power, J
and there are those who are having I
a-difficult time paying taxes as it |
and yetjiave to .help' pay for relief | I
for those, among whorti are some ;
W’ho are only too eager to shun wqrk’l
and accept the town’s charity. |

■Saturday saw Mr.'W. J., Todd, for
the firist time in six months, able to
Jbe uptown .“on. foot” with the assis
tance of a, couple of. canes. Occas
ionally during, the past, month or so
Mr. Todd hds been put in a wheel
chair. And while on Saturday, he was
neither spry enough, nor young
enough, to get into the grand jam for
candy around the Christmas,, tree,
yet the gradual improvement in his
condition is encouraging to' himself
and his friends.

School matters which have > been
of special interest during the past
couple of years, appear likely to be
in the limelight again this year at
the Nomination meeting.
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.
