James Michie Tatles are up said councillor Michie, but this is no fault of the council as they had little to do with expenditure. School rates are up in every section, My taxes, he said, are $195 of which $85 are for school purposes. There. is little chance of taxes being lowered,. he said, and if the mill subsidy is cut off they will have to be increased, it is difficult for those, who ever they are, in council to carry on, as labor is scarce and thus work is hard to get done, He said the condition of 'weeds and brush along the roads was a disgrace but what are we going to do he asked. Would cost a lot to clean them up. The only way is for the farniers to co-operate. Get sides of roads ready for cultivation and he was sure council would assist with`the grader where necessary. He advised farmers to cut the thorn trees. During my three years in council the mean. bets have co.operated one with' the other and tried to do the business wisely and justly.

Expense except road work is very much out of the council's hands, he declared, The council considered do- ing ditch work but two contracts let were not finished. Hard to get men to do the work and the rains also were a retarding factor, He mentioned 'that there wash new clerk, new asses- sor and Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Crawford. There is also a vac.. ancy in the Board of Health, • He said he was ,,responsible for the motion to have farmers cut weeds in front of their own properties. He thanked those that did but others did not do this, There is not enough snow fence, he said we could stand three times as much but cost would be very great. Would this expenditure be justified, he asked. During my terms in council I have carried on as best possible and will stand again for the council but as to the Reeveship he was undecided as yet. Charles Coultes Councillor Coultes expressed his pleasure at Seeing such a fine attend- ance. 'good thing he said if we could .got the women to the meeting, Coon. cil asked all to cut weeds 'but on places where it was not done there was' a great showing of iweeds. He suggested that council purchase a Mower and cut a swath,, themselves, Weed killer could 'be used but this would be very expensive. Farmers also. should cut the thorns and bushes. My present intention is, to stand for councillor, Harvey Johnston It looks like an .election again this year. One item on tax bill if remov- ed would have to raise taxes, he re-, ferred to the subsidy, I would 'rather be critized for carefulness, he said. I have tried to do as well as ,ptissible. The road subsidy had been cut so less was spent, Sure bridges need repair, he said ,one needs reflooring. Steel is very hard to get. Abutments of culverts need repair and must get this done next year. Some ditches are in had repair, need cleaning throughout. The township is in good shape fin- ancially. Only one debenture left on grader. Ho Said he would Stand for council if theft la an election. Robert "Wallace I have read Where hi Softie places they `grow their own Show fences and, there must beiots of plates in this do. He spoke of the weed situation in the township and clasied the thorn as the biggest thing in che' township. Some farms will be' useless in 25 years he said unless something was done. The old council was a pretty good council. All good faithful fel- lows not only in township matters but in the affairs of the community as well. , Stewart Procter It was a surprise to Stewart Procter that he was nominated and he did not know if he would stand or- not., He stressed the fact that labor was hard to get. He said the brush was a great- er problem than weeds, they grow so fast. Every one must co-operate with one another. If we eontintie with solf-. ishness and greed we would be in a bad 'state.
