Even standing room was at a premium at the Ashfield nomin- ■ ation meeting on Friday after­ noon, . presided over by Murdo Matheson, who was- appointed chairman for the ratepayers’ meeting and who remarked that it.was one, if not the best> meet­ ings he had seen in his day, _ _The meeting „wasii’t yery old before an election was indicated . and developed into an all-round . election for reeve,' council. and school .trustees. It is the, first trustee election since the inaug­ ural election of the Area Board some eight years ago. Cecil Blake, was the first speak­ er and pointed out that the Town­ ship rate, which is the only levy over which; the feoard has con­ trol, was only up a half mill. He referred to Ashfield leading the way in township hard-surfacing with a stretch of one and one- eights ^niles on the 4th Conces­ sion built at a cost of approxi­ mately $9000 of . which the. De­ partment pays 50; percent. How this road stands up , will be watched with interest and will be a forerunner to more hard- surfacing, the speaker felt. Mr. Blake stated he had “fully, made up his mind to take , the stand for I the reeveship”, and thanked the electors for their fine support a- year ago.—- Wise To Delay Revising the procedure of call-; . ing thd^candidates, Mr-.Matheson* then called on Reeve Elmet Gra­ ham who gave a detailed account of Huron County business, attrib­ uting the 1 mill increase, largely to road expenditures, the House of Refuge building program and the Court Hduse.: He reviewed the Wingham Hos­ pital building fund request for $8000 from Ashfield and read a letter that disclosed that the 4 percent allotment was not act­ ually based on the past five year average Of patients from Ash­ field hospitalized in Wingham. He stated that the. 1952 figure was slightly over. 4 percent and had been set, at an even 4 per­ cent as the basis of Ashfield’s share. He did not take kindly to the surtax impost, “held as a whip over their heads”. Mr. Gra­ ham said he had looked into the -matter—closely—and—thought-Ht~ wise to delay. He |elt they started, supporting hospitals, God­ erich and Kincardine would no doubt expect aid sooner or later/ Wingham was stepping out. on sion, he thought and it was reas­ onable to. expect that the time might be coming when the muni­ cipalities involved might find them coming back for mainten­ ance assistance. Mr. Graham stated definitely that he was running again for the reeveship. More Gravel Councillor John Bradley stated that while the road subsidy had been cut. this year to some; $41,000 more gravel .than ever 12,826 yards —: had been put on Town­ ship roads. He urged those pres­ ent to get up. and “say what.yoU think” about the . hospital grant. Mr. Bradley said he had intend­ ed to Stand for reeve, but in v.iew of *. develppments, J^arid J. the.; fact, that there were three of them had been therefor five years, he would~like to talk it. over with the boys before giving his decis­ ion. ’ . •; Mr. Bradley, said that the Warble fly spray costs, Which this y6ar were collected, oh the taxes had figured out at about 15c pef. head. . ; • Councillor Andy Ritchie was also of a mind to. withhold his decision. Being , one of the five- year Then he could see rid sense of everyone' coming up for the hazardous, unsafe ^bridges'' ofhazardous, unsafe abridges * of the horse and'buggy days. Mr. Mac­ Kenzie . said their township rate was one of the lowest, that the municipality was in good finan­ cial position and he favored keep? ing the balance on the-right side mf the ledger and giving service. We had better be careful, he cautioned in regard to the hospi­ tal grant. He didn’t favor a vote * of the ratepayers because the West Wawanosh . vote-'had not been enthusiastic and had not decided the issue satisfactorily. Mr. MacKenzie couldn’t see vot­ ing on three hospitals to give them something they haven’t ask­ ed for. ■ . He stated He intended “to def­ initely stand for reeve”., New Nominees Speak Donald MacKenzie said he would allow his name to stand. Tom Howard was not present.
