Mr. Young maintained that the road was of value ; the people of the township could get sand down there, and it was a good place for • picnic. There followed • livelydiscuasioo of the read question, Mr. oung warmly disputing Mr. Fleming's claims. He advised the people to elect moo who would make sure the road was not given away. if elected he would work hard in toe interests of the township and would try to save the ratepayers money. Mr. Hethei ingtnn made an explana- tion that the township rate bad not been changed for several years; the county and school rates bad been changed. Mr. Hugh Hill said be had no an- cient history to review.

The council would need to get its Aoances on a firmer basis before much could be done in the way of impr.,vemmts. However, he would like to see • contribution made by the f000wing council to the Belgian relief fund. 'Even 1f we have to scrimp and scrape it U nothing 10 what t be Belgians and the Set visas have had to do." J. C. Laithwaltx, wbo has been chairman of the finance committee Hewing the pert year, said some big mistakes bald been made in the past when some of the very best men of the town had baro in office. He coo- siderrd himself but r common snsu,7et be bad been able to handle his own finances with *fair measure of me- ccas. tacues. Mr. Proudfoot and Mr. Wigle were college -ht ed men, but when they had been unable to .tet lows from the bank he bad got them. Six mills of the yearly rate were r quired each year to meat the liabilities in connec- tion with the electric nod and the Wheel Rigs factory. The debenture debt wee steadily increasing but there was no cause for alarm, as obs debt was only $9U per capits, while other towns were known to carry debts an high as $3X) per capita. It was Du wonder the town con not Anne. itself properly when there were so many taxes and loans overdue. Some thea could live in luxury and smoke IOC. cigars but would not p+y the town. Factories that bad re !rived rado money from the town invited them to go to tbehot place when they asked for the interest. Mr. Proudfoot and Mr. Wigle were talking of introducing a scientific system of bookkeeping. but bookkeeping would not pay the debts. He bad served the town for • number of years and in seeking the deputy rtewesbip be was looking to step up, not to blip up as suggested by Mr EUtoIL C. A. Nairn was next oo the list but did not appear. W. T. Murnev, who was a nominee for water and light commissioner, gave a somewhat detailed statement of the finances of that department. He showed that • fair surplus was on band and when certain debentures were paid in 1917 the department would be to • prosperous position. Frank Elliott, wbo ie again in the field for councillor, seemed to take exceptioo to the remarks of some former speakers that trained finan ciets were needed in the council ; be thought that men who) had work only t hree da} s w week and yet paid their taxes were the real fin.anci'rs. The solution of the finance difficulty was a proper aweesment, ; the present system was rotten. He had no per- sonal ensonal feelings against the present as- sessor, hut, he was • man over ,egbty and should be "Osler sed. He thought there was something wrong with Cha lighting syetew which charged tbe town $140 per house- power omepower for street light• when its cost was but $37. At the time of the viblt of the Appollo Comtnandary he had not been asked to take any part, probably because be did not own a silk hat and swallow-tailed coat. He hal objet ted t so much money being spent on deputations but hued been in- formed that it was not & matter of money. He asked for one more year In the council, not for the honor, but because he wanted to see some work completed. J. H. McClinton spoke briefly of the relief work which had been placed in his charge and +tot d that twenty-six families were being heft). d. Up to the Present the town had not had to meet the bills, as funds had been forth- coming from other sources. Me thought the town was by no means '•broke"et and when the money market became easier everything would he all right. Of the other nominees on the list Mews. Frank Saunders, Alex. It lung and J. D. Wilson were the onlyones who made an appear- ance. ach spoke briefly. Mr. Seam - dere, wbo made • neat sprach. was not sure of his position (bat has since de- cided to stand for election). Mr. Young said be had no intention of tie- ing a candidate this year. Mr. Wil- son accepted the nomination end wormier(' to look after the town's Interests If elected. it was 11.:10 o'clock when the last speaker got through mad the esesuag was brought to • close Not • wad was said by an. of the ere about the proposed extension M t►e esonidpal vote to mmrrisd wa�ww- .s► CMtinued from page 1.) to thane the Municipal Aet, no that towns of 1.1140 population might elect their coancillo.e by wards. He bed very little criticise to offer about the retiring council, although be thought the railway expenses and lawyers' fees were rather high. Councillor E. Ii. Wigle said be was not a candidate for the mayoralty. The council of the prat year had done the best it could with what. it had to do with. A depu•etion that had gone to Ot•awa had been successful in hav- ing $120,000 placed in the estimates for improvement. to Goderich harbor. Another deputation with regard to hydro-Radi ale had not heeo .o suc- •:essful The commit had had , onsid- erable trouble with the C. P. R. au- .horities and had granted them a con- ceesioo at. the waterfront for which the C. P. R. bad promtaed adequate return in the form of a weekly freight host. bit so far the railway company bad tooled to cart v out its part of the :.greewenL He bad endeavored, as chairman of the fire committee, to have an atom' system installed which would facilitate the movements of the firemen in getting to a Are. He recognized that the finances were not in a healthy condition, and it would need careful financiers to carry the town through. Any man could move a grant, but it needed good wen to provide the money. A 30 -mill rate would not pay what it oreds 32 mills tat provide. The town was carrying • floating deet of $18.000 which was increasing at tbe rate of 13,000 per year. He advocated the issue of de - honour es to clear this up. This closed the speaking of the nominees for the Mayor'a chair. The first speaker among the nom- inees for the reevesbip was Robt. Elliott, who gave one of his character- istic addresses. He bad • word of .'riticism for moat of the members and for many of the actions of the council. He claimed It bad not taken much to finance his doper intent during the year, as only $$I$U bad bran spent by the cemetery and parks committee during theear. If the public works rommittee had not been to slow they might have got $7,(01 from the bank. instead of $1,000. for sewer extension, but they failed to move before the war cut off the money supply. He had opposed the ezt•ssion of tine• for the Baia of the • mer loan Road Marbies Co.'s bond*, as he thought the people wbo voted the loan had a right to vote os the question of ex- .
