Reeve Taylor took and subscribed his name to the necessary oath. of office. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Reeve Taylor eengratulated the council on their el- ttetIon and hoped that the same sere vice would be rendered as in the last year and that harmony and goodwill woeld. prevail throughout the year. There will be more work and ,nore expentlituee this year. We are in a better position this year and have re - :lived our debt considerable. We were handicapped last year on account 'of nue heavy debt. There will be more cement ;walks to be put down, also an extension of the water -mins an Huron Street; and nnother :natter will be the Hydro -electric proposi- thee which will of necessity engage your attention. The rate last year was'the highest in the history of the village I would suggest to the eoun- ail net to' wipe out all of the debt bat pay part of it this year. 1 would strongly recommend that this council hand .over to the school board every cent due them. I claim that the school money is a hindrance rather thar a gain. There would be only a difference of 2 per cent, The School Board by putting themoney in the bank can dra.w 3 per cent, and the council can borrow at 5 per cent. To this Councillor Hind took exception, stating that there would be nogairi, nothing .but a lost of 2 per cent, and inose that the School Board would require to appoint a treasurer af their own, which would entail more .expense as now the one treasurer acts foe both. The Reeve stated that he would bring this matter up again in December . The Reeve also said, -"You will re.member that I recommended that the accounts of the, Treasurer should be auditeri monthly and the report woull be presented every month. It would be much less work for the Treasurer. Having been audited and fotad Icorrect it would expedite mat- ite matters when he, came to make out his financial report. A .communication. was read from the Bell Telephone co. asking to have poles placed on Victoria, Gidley and Andrew Streets, and asking the noun- cil to appoint someone to ,upervise the work.
