Joules Tuylor, who was lteeve for 1555)7. was the first speaker to take the platform. He mentioned several mat- ters which had come before the county council --the estualizstion of taxation, the question of the construc- tion of permetneut county bridge.. tied the effort of the council to secure a portion of lbs Provincial good made fund fnr the building of such per- manent bridges in this county. The proposal to change the location of the llulniebville bridge wag the subject Of some remarks from John Sehwanz. a ratepayer residing in that section, who stated that the people in that localitywanted the bridge to remade at the present site. John J. Robertson had some g*1ee- tious to ask --one as 10 why the dates of transactions were not printed iu the statutory a relent . Mr. Robertson claimel t)utt other townships issued their repgrts with the dates. H. .1. A. McEwan explained the year's financial record. 'the council had started the year with a balance to the good (including taxes unpaid) of =•],4311.4)+. The county rate for 1900, $2,739.(1), lied been paid this year and also the county '.Me for 155507, 111,470.515, and there had been some extraordin- ary expenditures during the year, in- cluding the damages and costs in the I vors case, about *Lien ; the expenses of the smallpox score, about $1511. and %35, for a gravel pt. At present the township owed $2,01551 which had been borrowed at 5 per cent., and cash on hand and taxer to collect tunounted to $K10.:311, leaving a net debt of $1,1511.150. Mr. McEwau said that if there wa,f not to be an election by acclamation he in• tended to be a candidate for the reeve - ship. He had served his apprentice - "hip in the ,a)uucil and drought it natural that he should now Peek ele- vation to the reeveship. The people of Cadlorne had need him royally every time he had run. and he had tried to merit their confidence. Ite- letting to the work of the county C01113ei1, he said he had noticed ever since he had been in the townshipcoin- eil that the county levy every year had been greater than the whole amount expended by the township, on roads sutllbridges be thought this war a high rate to be called upou to pay to the county. Alex. Young referred to his past services fur some years as a member of the council. and said be would like to serve again for one or perhaps two years. It might be said that he had alresdy received his share of the hono,s. and be Acknowledged that the township had treated hint well; but he had not got to the tip yet and he hoped he would be given the oppor- tunity of reaching the wardenehi ,. He admitted he had sometimes made mistakes, and he would make no pro- mises for the future, except that if elected he would do his lest in the interests of thr township. However, he would not put the t(woship to the expense of ati election if the council were to he elected by acclamation. .lames McMaots spoke briefly and said he would not Mand for the reeve - ship in a four -cornered fight ; neither would he stand for the council unless elected by acclamation. The nominees fur councillor then hittl their inning., Norman Kernighan ie•ing the first epeeker. He tend he was plrssed tt find a feeling fita the named should be re-ele:tcd by aeda- uuttion, and he thought tan ,a rate- payer, not as s member of the councils Dint it would be in the interests of the township to return the old council. A mitt needed a year to become •a good councillor, and he believed the members of the old council hal done their (,est, not to make voles, but in the interests of the township. He in- tended to be a candidate for the coin- ing year. 11) reference to the pub- lishing in more detailed form of the annual statement, he believed a greater improvement would be the printing of the minutes of the council meetings more fully, to explain the work that was done e,nd the orders that were issued. By employing bet- ter methods the council during the Istat year had saved a considerable sunt to interest. No law costs had been incurred except those that were forced upon them from lest year. They had been threatened with two law suits but had managed to settle them Moth. John Dustnw said that it had (leen his fleet year in the council and he had felt that he should he cautious and not push himself unduly. There had been peace and harmony aalongthe coun- cillors they did not always agree, but they agreed to disagree --and this had /mule the work pleasant. He had found, however, that it was not pre, - elide to please everybody while doing the hest thing for the township : atul another difficulty watt to keep down the taxes spd maintain the roads in good repair. lie had learned it goal rang things during the yearend be- loved he should stay for another year and let the township have the benefit of the experience he had gained. John Wilson acknowledged the honor of nomination, but he thought that the old council bail done well in many respects and should be re-elected by acclamation. He gave credit to the township board of health for its prompt aetibn in guarding against smallpox, end recalled the fact that *few years ago the township of East \\'aw*nosh had a smallpox scare which had coat the township between and $4155). Andrew Johnston male a bidet speech. stating that he would with- drew if the other new n.tgdttees did. Win. F.

It had been said that 14 • men needed a year's ex- perience in the council. but sonic amen would never learn no matter how long they were in the council, while others could start right In with the township work. Mr. Young Warned the electors against believing all the election stories that were going around. Rote rt Straughan said he had leen urged to tun. and if he were elected he would do his Leet for the township, Jacob Moser said he had hada few yeers' experience, and if he htlppened to be elected &gain he might do Metter than * green hand. He mentioned the Hurg& d case, and considered It unfair that he should have been held respon- sible in that matter. He believed that bridges and culverts should he protected. They might go unpro- tected for forty years, and then per - baps one dark night there might be another accident and another life lost. Mr. Moser was asked by an elector if it was true that he iced been prom - lead seventyflve votes in 8altford if he would support the electric railway bylaw. Mr. Moser denied the report.
