For road work there are set aside $105,000 in Bonds, and it looks as if this would be spent for bridges, With the Province paying 80%, $1,000,000 worth of bridges can be constructed. The Children's Aid Society are doing a wonderful work, They have $7 chil- dren under their care, Next year a County Assessor will be secured, and then possibly TurnberrY can look for an adjustment on the equalized assessment, as the County was $450,000 over the local assessment.

He brought up the advisability of having a portion of the taxespayable in the summer and thereby do away with bank borrowing, During an ordinary winter he thought the roads could be kept open, but last winter was an exception. When asked why some had not been billed for cattle spraying, the Clerk ex- plained that as no bill had been receiv- ed from East Wawanosh it was im- possible to bill. G. N. Underwood He said that it had been a pleasure to work with the Council and rate- payers the past year. His aim was to give the best service for the least expenditure. He also thanked the Town of Wingham for their courtesy. The machinery recently purchased he believed had saved $1600 on the work at the sink-hole alone, and felt it was paying for itself.

Wilbert Fralick For thirteen years he had been in public life, he said, and if elected would serve to the best- interests of the Municipality.
