Currie THE WINQIIAN TIMES '-and myse1f, minutes of a committee a.a. ELLIOTT, PuntasuEa AND Paortmaa ineetinK held in FehruarY elearlY show- ed in black and white, that Coure Bell had seconded a resolution leaving the inspection work on the sewers in the - hands of Clerk Groves and Chief Allen, I Confronted with this evidenee, Bell stated that he had "forgotten eb To the Ratepayers of Wingliarn: out the meeting." When a member Ladies and Gentlenaen: - 1 was highly of a committee, of which I was chair_ pleased with the vote you gave me lastIrzian` was with me in February and ap January in placing me at the head of the poll as a member of the Town Cowls efl, and I feel it my duty to now give you the facts which led up to my resignation. In the first place let it be understood that the difference of opinion in refer- erenee to cementing the joints of the cellar drain tile had no bearing in the matter, Mr. Fraliels, foreman on the work. eosin. Currie and myself agreed on this matter II endeavored to locate Cows. Bell, but could not do so) and in doing so did not consider we were doing wrong tor did we break any by-law or specifications. It was agreed, at a roeeting of the Committee, called by Mayor Irwin, and with Coun. Bell absent, to submit the matter to the council. The council decided that the joints be cemented, I most cheerfully agreed to carry out the wishes of the omancil in the matter. The criticism froth a few of the rate- payers had no bearing on my resigna- tion. The real cause of the resignation was the matter of the appointment of an Inspector on the sewer work. The committee, of. which I had the honor of being chairman, after much difficulty had been experienced early in the year to secure a chairman, unanimously fol- lowed the precedent set by committees in previous years and a few days prior to the last meeting of Council were taken to task by Mayor Irwin because committee had not asked for the ap- proval of Council. I wish to state that Mayor Irwin was a member of the Sewer Committee in 1910, when tha first sewers were con- structed in Wingham and his committee named Wm. Nicholson as inspector and the appointment was never approved by council. The committee of 1911 fol- lowed the precedent set by Mayor Irwin's committee and their action was never approved by Council. The same condition followed in 1912 and 1913 when Clerk Groves and Chief Allen were appointed as Inspectors. To make my case the stronger I may say that last year the Street and Sewer Committee appointed Charles Barber as Inspector on pavement work and there -is no rocord of the appointment on the minute hook of the committee nor was the Council asked to approve of the appointment. Surely the committee of this year was justified in following the precedent set by Mayor Irwin in 1910 and followed by the different commit- tees since that time. This year's work was being done by day labor, under a competent foreman, and the committee felt that a permanent inspector was not needed and that ClerkGroves could con- veniently do the work at a saving to the town. Mayor Irwin was aware as early as the May meeting (if he did not know before that date) that Clerk Groves was acting as Inspector as a cheque was passed at the May meeting cover- ing work done by the Inspector. In justice to the committee and coun- cil, if Mayor Irwin desired a charge of procedure, he should have outlined his poliey early in the year and the eom- mittee would have been in a position ta work along the lines desired by the council. Failing this, why did not our Mayor call the committee to account at the May meeting and not wait until mid -summer when the work required of an inspector was practically com- pleted. There was a disposition on the part of some members of the council not to support Coun. Young's motion approv- ing of the committee's action in ap- pointing Clerk Groves as Inspector and Mr. Groves resigning, left no other course open to lite but to resign. It is very funny to me that this year's committee should be brought to book for following a precedent set by Mayor Irwin's committee in 1910. If the prin- ciple was right in 1910 it is right in 1914 and our Mayor, if he found he had made a mistake in 1910, he should have so irVorreed this year's committee early ha the year end his mikake of four years ago could have boon eorrected. Further, the action of (loud. Bell, one of my colleagues, was also largeiy responsiblalfor rny resignation. (Was timed by the Mayor as to whether •h had been consulted IP the appointment of an Inspector, Coun. Bell informed THURSDAY, JULY16, 1914 AN EXPLANATION.

Itefuee the eleoholic sultatitutte. parently with me until the council meet- ing night and then not be willing to sanction the work of his committee, I again felt that I could not Ringer serve as a member of council. In view of the above facts and after giving the matter due consideration, I felt that I could not perform my duty as a Councillor and that it was proper on rny part to resign and make room for the election of another ratepayer who could work more in harmony with the Mayor and Coun, Mayor Irwin made quite a cry of my not consulting with Coun. Bell in the matter of cementing tile joints, It was impossible for me to locate Coun. Bell when this change was made, Mayor Irwin is guilty with me in this regard. Some time ago Mayor Irwin, Conn. Bell and myself were named as a com- mittee to define the duties of the Chief of Police and have the necessary by-law prepared. I was never consulted in this matter nor did I know the commit- tee had performed the duties entrusted to them until the bylaw was presented to the council for consideration. It is surely a case of "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones," I have been a resident of Wingham for twenty-six and a half years and have attended council meetings regu- larly for a quarter of a century and never in that time did I see or hear a chairman and a committee re- ceive the treatment which was handed out by Mayor Irwin. What I have done to cause it I do not at present know nor am I very anxious to get to the bottom of the presiding officer's hostilities toward me. I have tried to be a good citizen and have at all times worked and used my influence for everything I con- sidered was in the best interests of Wingham and her people. I love Wing - ham. My all is invested here and more being invested this year and 1 hope to long continue as a resident of the town and retain the personal friendship and eonfidence of the people. My aim in the future will be to always say a good word for the town and do my duty in boosting the town, both through the press and personally. I again thank you most heartily for past favors and can assnre you that while not a mem- ber of the council you will always find me in the ranks of the privates doing my duty. There are other matters in connection with municipal work which can with profit be given attention, but I defer further comment until a later date. . Yours faithfully, II. B. ELLIOTT.
