1935 Council Winds Up Year And Re-
/ tiringj Reeve And Councillor JBid
> Farewell To Old Board And Wei-,
come New Members. ‘ .
At an -hour , session <Sn Monday
morning, the 1935 Council wound
: up a few last minute details, ipast
accounts, and with their house well
in order,. Reeve Hamilton and Coun
cillor 'Murdie, concluded their muni
cipal career, by biding farewell to
their colleagues and by welcoming
the pew members, Alex McDiarmid
arid Garfield McDonald.
Council. decided to pay half of the
account of Nurse Chesnut and Mrs.
Ida (Sills, for professional and prac
tical nursing, in connection with a
local relief case. The total .payment
approved by Council was $9.50,.
A lettter of thanks was- received
by the Beard from Mr. Bert Ward
for a Christmas, gift. V",
Council decided.-to equalize the bus
iness tax of Mr. A. E. Buswell, ac
cording to the assessment on the two
places ■iof business he,, occupied dur-,
ipg the past year.
Council moved that owing to the
dilapidated condition of the Douglas
barn, “the Board” “proceed with the
matter as directed by the corres
pondence from the Fire Marshall’s
Department.
Councillor Anderson, in a recorded
jno|iph,^VQiried__the2.appreGiation-“t»of“
the services of. the two retiring mem
bers of the Board, Reeve A. W. Ham
ilton and Councillor1 Murdie, and
Lucknow’s 1935 governing body sev
ered their municipal associations by
adjourning.
Retiring Members Speak
In responding to the. vote ,-of ap
preciation, Mr. Hamilton said, mem
ory, took him back over several years
of municipal life, with general good
co-operation, especially during his
term as, reeve. Neither was he un
mindful of those whom he had. sat
with as councillor, among them, those
who have passed pn..
In welcoming the new members to
the Board, Mr. Hamilton said, he be
lieved they would be disappointed if
they took the office for the honor of
it, but if it was assumed- with a
view to "working- for and serving-the
anriinibcipality th ey..avould ^find-mtich
wo rk -awai tin g—them:—
Mr. Hamilton invited: the: incoming
Reeve to take the chair, and called
on Councillor Murdie.
“When a moment like this arrijteSj
it carries regrret,” said Mr. Murdie,
as he recalled the associations and
work accomplished durjng his muni-'
cipal career.
“You’ll like it,” he told the two
new members, Whom he advised if
they were criticised, on the' street, to
tell ^their critic that the place for
that was at .the Council meetings.
“If more would attend council meet
ings, ' they would have a better idea
of the work done,” said Mr. Murdie.
The new council. would have the
Sympathetic support of he and Mr.
Hamilton, who would be glad’ to be
of assistance at any time. This,'how
ever;, he did not think xyould be . nec
essary, because the 1936 ship of. state
would have ati efficient captain at
its head. ■ . , ■
The new council took their .-places
and* the declaration of office. Reeve
Anderson welcomed the new mem-
and
ev-
bets, who spoke briefly in reply
Council adjourned to meet that
ening at 7.30 o’clock. \

slop that is increased, as hujjri banks
of snow/are dragged from, in front
