Questions Board’s; Action A. W. Hamilton contended that the question should have been submitted to the ratepayers. “Is Judgement of four men Councillor Stbthers was absent at the time) superior to that of •the ratepayers?” he queried. Reeve Robertson replied that it . was within their power to act as they did and that the rate payers had a chance tonight to express themselves. “It’s tod late now”, replied Mr. Hamilton. The controversary ended, as the chair man ruled that Mr. Hamilton would have a chance to speak later. _ Approve More Roads 'Councillor V. A. Mowbray, cteirman^of theHEtoatk Commit^- tee, referred to the road building west of the new school from Bob to Willoughby streets which would be ready for hard surfac ing next. year.

Mr. Smith stated he was in terested in hydro arid has been investigating a peak load control ler that would automatically cut cost, and with uncertain results. Would Abolish New Assessment Mr. Hamilton was critical of the, new assessment, the manual and those carrying out, the ass essment. He said there were as great a . number of inequalities as there -ever was, and. more com plaints and appeals than ever be* fore, We iwant a council that will!- oppose the* assessment and seek County resolutions to support them. “Why this so called .man ual and $600 for assessing the Village?”, he asked. He charged that in* his opinion the , County Assessor had not-the ability for the jqb “Throw out the men Wihq have ibeen responsible for ,o.ur new assessment, and ; the man- nual which has been loaded on us by . the Department”, . he con cluded. Mr. Hamilton referred to. ever increasing ■ taxation and warned against a municipal tax ation levy which already , exists in Bruce, whereby it costs men $1.00 a day in taxation to live in their own homes. ■ . Did Very Good Job . • ■ W?B. Anderson drew attention the sparse attendance in the suirnrier at the public meeting to discuss the . grant to Wingham Hospital, of which he is a mem ber of the Board. He supported the need for an addition but did not claim that it must be a 50- ibed addition. Mr. Anderson felt the plan of financing the wirigoff water heaters .at peak ‘ as fair and had be6n 12i^uea-eiS /v upon anticipating -a future gov- the Village. Cost of the install-41 K n - i. . ation would be between $7000 and $8000, with an annual saving by curtailing the peak of over $3000, so that the capital outlay would be recovered in little^more than two years. “There is not- much you can buy- arid-get—such re turns”, commented Mr. Smith. “Great Mistake Made” Mr. A. W. Hamilton said he was not going to discuss the merits! or demerits of the Wingham Hos pital grant, but that the rate payers were entitled .to some con sideration, and their ability to decide on such matters: should, be respected. He felt a great mis- cillor Innes MacSween to rec- ’ commend that a special invitation be extended in the future. —He reviewed the finances' of the municipality and in conclus ion said he doubted if he would carry on as his work took him out of town a good deal. ered by a village of less than 1000 Dopulation.
