Anderson, who by ac­ clamation received the reeveship . of the Village of Lucknow on Monday evening,1 will become one of the vil­ lage’s youngest men to occupy this position. Mr. Anderson -is 40 years of age. He 'succeeds A. W. Hamil­ ton, wjio -retired after 2 cyears in the reeve’s chair. Born in Lucknow, Mr. Anderson received his Public and Continuation school' education here, and attained his. Senior matriculation in Wing­ ham High School, later graduating from Toronto University with his B. A|] degree. In 1917 “Wif.” went overseas with the. 1st Tank Battalion, consisting chiefly of university graduates. On his return in 1919 he went to Winnipeg to assist in' conducting a wholesale fruit business, in which his father, Mr. J. G. Anderson was" interested. In 1920 he returned to Lucknow and became engaged in the flax, business. Four years later he became a full fledged partner in the firm of J. G. Anderson and Son, who oper­ ate, what is recognized as by far the greatest flax .industry in Canada to­ day, specializing in pedigree fibre flax seed. All seed is disposed of in Great Britain where they. have Well established connections; J. G. Anderson & Son, mills, five of which are in one at Lucknow, two at one at Mitchell, one at and the' Wingham Mill ’ whi^h ,is not iri operation. . , . ■ Mr. ■ Anderson is a married, man with a,.family of three little child­ ren, Maty, Ruth and George; sMr. Anderson assumes- the Reeve- .ship^ afters six consecutive years of council service.

This was the summary of an intelligent ex­ planation of the matter, given' the meeting by Rev. S. T. Tucker, a member of the Bokrd, which is faced with, this ultimatum as a re­ mit df stipulations by the Inspector., of. Public Libraries, requiring the local Board to renovate its system of loaning books.' Rev. Tucker ad­ dressed the .meeting upon the request of Reeve Hamilton, who wished the public enlightment oh' th'e subject. Although ; the Carnegie Library is in its 26th year of existence, it 'was not until a. year ago last June that an Inspector of Libraries made a first inspection of .this institution.. He was startled 'at the conditidh of.. “th'e'dibraryYarid''“gave“Tour •'’criticisms’ which in effect Were:. •.1 There had been little impro.ve-o ment in the facilities of the library siqce it was a Mechanics’ Institute. ~2/;A~fffeat"number of books were mot-fit—to-be—handed-^ouK— r/ - . 3 There~were no facilities for in­ dexing and keening track, of books. 4 That the Board was hot getting a sufficient Municipal grant. . Municipal Grant $325, The municipal grant to the' Lib­ rary .is, and . for several. years - has been .$325 ne^r year. The Inspector maintains that tbis grant should’ be iucreasgd . $150, or $475 a year, to represent a' statutory grant •’based on a rate, of 50c per capita of popula; tion? -,. ' .J Upon receipt of. these recommen­ dations, the Library- Board took the matter ,ujs_but deciding ..that it~was not the proper tihie to proceed with' such an expenditure, took no action. : In May of this year the Inspector returned, Mr'. Tucker continued, and criticised the. Board for not proceed­ ing, as he .had recommended.

Councillor Murdie at nomination meeting on Monday everting., f The village held The Surety Co.’s bond for ,$5000 guaranteeing the. water supply' from the original well. The flow from this well, dropped from about 145 gallons a minute to about 100 gallons a minute and under the bond the Surety Co. was obligated .to make good this deficit, with water of a* quality approved by the Department of Public Health: Dealing with the matter became' a job for an expert, Mr. Murdie' ex­ plained and Mr. David Fleming, Toronto engineer was . engaged. He told the Council what the Surety Co. had to do, ap^ took full charge. The . secondary well was the result. It was drilled, equipped, and hitched to'the present . system, without', cost­ ing the, municipality one dollar. The brick’ -pump house may Cost .the vil­ lage $25.- dr $30.

Indigent patients are *a County problem, and a committee of three is at present studying . this matter j in recom­ mendations at the next session, Mr. ‘ Hamilton said. Treatment of indin- gent patients at Kincardine and Walkerton has necessitated inoreas- ■ ing,. grant $1000 to each of these In­ stitutions which now receive $3500.
