interesting nomination meeting on Fri-
day last. The ratepayers present heard
a story of reduced taxes, a substantial
nimble co hand, sad the prospect of a
edit tower tax rate for 1989. The
township has no debenture debt.
The ratepayers showed their satis-
faction with the state of township af-
fairs by returning the entire council
by acelamatlon.
The following nominations were
made:
For reeve -F. H. Powell, W. Haacke.
For councillors -Oliver J. Jervis, J.
Ernest Johnston, F. H. Powell, Harry
Corey, John Sowerby.
Old Council Re4urned
Mr. Powell withdrew his name from
the ticket for the reeveshlp, and Mr.
John Sowerby, nominee for councillor,
also withdrew, leaving the old council
re-elected, as follows:
Reeve -W. Haacke.
Councillors -F. It.. Powel.._.-LE.

The townahlp treasurer's report for

clared. The care of eight children last
year cost $3400. "There are larger
families getting along on a great deal
leas than that," Mr. Haacke said. He
did not know whether or not it would
be advisable to return to the old aye -
tem whereby the Children's Ald Society
was responsible and the county gave a
grant of 11000 annually.
Reference was made by the Reeve to
the old -age pensions. There are 029
pensioners In the county, requiring the

Outhurets of laughter greeted this
remark.
Mr. Powell resumed, pointing out
the heavy expenditures on sehools and
the matter of collection of taxes. He
favored a degree of ieniency except in
cases where it was obvious that the
parties were trying to avoid payment.
J. E. Johnston. nominee for the coon -
alt, was ealled upon, but was absent,
being In Toronto on business.
O. J. Jervis, also a nominee for the
council, took the floor and mentioned
the fact hist in response to requests
from all over the township for a lower
tax rate a reduction of one mill had
been effected. Credlt was due. not on-
ly to the council, bet to the workers
and asetatents In the road work, for
this unprtdecented year. Tribute was
paid to the townahlp officials, whom
the speaker termed capable and trust-
worthy. Reference was made to the
gravelling done in his ward, and Mr.
Jervis eoneldered the county grader
an Ideal Investment "it coats 11.50
an hour," lie pointed out, "while our
township grader costs the same, plus
the expense of a man to run it and
keeping it In repair."
Regarding statute labor, Mr. Jervis
considered the present method much
better by reason of the fact that road
work was under supervision of a sup-
erintendent to Insure uniformity. He
also eommented on the eomplimentary
remarks of the auditors on the treas-
urer's abilities as a bookkeeper.
Henry Corey, nominee for councillor,
remarking on the eatery cuts, pointed
out that it east no reflection on the of-
