The present Council., is . com­ prised of Reeve S. E. Robertson and Councillors Virden Mowbray, Alex .MacLeod, Archie Smith and S. B. Stothers. . We are not aware, of. th$rr.. in­ tentions for 1955, and what may, or may not, develop at nomina­ tion meeting is pure conjecture. It is understood" that' Mr. Alex Hamilton, an ex-reeve and ex­ councillor, might be interested in contesting the reeveship if there was a general election. It is no secret that Mr. Hamilton, is not in agreement with the new ass­ essment system, and likewise there, are many who aren’t hap­ pyabout their tax bills under the new. assessment, particularly along Main Street;——— However, come nomination meeting and it is not uncommon to hear almost “nary a word” about matters which had prev­ iously been regarded as very con­ tentious. • The three retiring members' of the Lucknow Public School Board are Dr. James E. Little, K. C. Murdie (chairman) and Gerald Rath well. All are eligible for re­ election. Other members of the School Board who have ^another year to run are, Charles .Web­ ster, H. M, MacLennan and Jack Fisher.’ .■ - Attendance Important With nomination falling on Boxing Day evening, . this may not favor a good attendance on Monday night, but it is important that ratepayers attend this meet-/ ing and bear, a first hand report of those who have had charge of the administration of Village, Public Utilities and School aL .fairs,' which have grown to the,' category, of “big business” and should be’the interest and con­ cern Of every ratepayer' in the Village.. . /' Don’t be absent from the nonL ination meeting’and then “sound’ off on the street corner”.
