McKeough, announced changes
in the Municipal Elections Act,
the main features of which
change the election date for all
municipalities from the first
Monday in December to the third
Monday in ' November. The
mandatory advance polls will
facilitate voting as early as the
middle of November.
There has been considerable
discussion about changing the
municipal . term of office.
However, the bill leaves the term
at the present two-year limit.
A new provision in the bill is
the prohibition of any form of
campaign literature within the
polling place.
Candidates will no longer be
requifed to have their occupations
listed on nomination papers or on
the ..ballot.
Provision has been made, to
require municipal polls to be open
,,from 9 :a.m. to 8. p.m., which is t
consistent with 'the polling hours
Tor provincial elections.
Finally, any eligible elector will
now be entitled to vote on a
money by-law question.
The Minister of Agriculture
this week introduced a bill, which
subsequently received third
reading, to protect farmers
against the bankruptcy of those
who purchase their Produce:-
The bill, called "An Act to.
Amend The Farm Products
Payments Act", is in effect a
prompt payment bill to enable
any commodity group to
participate and each such group
would be responsible for the
.operation of its own fund to
ensure payment to farmers in
e
case of bankruptcy on the part of
a purchaser.
The Government would start
any commodity group fund, by
providing seed money of $25,000,
and thereafter the fund would
operate by deductions from
farmers and dealers or
purchasers,
Each commodity group fund
will operate under its own
regulations so that each
commodity can tailor the
operation of the fund to its
particular circumstances and
conditiOns.
The Ontario Cattlemen's
Association has, proposed a
prompt payment requirement of
48 hours after delivery of the
livestock. This is provided for
under present enabling
legislation, and could ,be done by
regulation of the Cattlemen's
Assocaition fund, should one be
set up.
The legislation is good and is
something that 1 have been
promoting for some time. It is
protection the farmers deserve
and should have.
