Of The Goderich Star.
Dear Mr. Editor:—
Goderkh, Aug. 14, 1935.
When you asked me .to Five you at copy of 'iny remarks to the town coun-
cil our iltai meeting, 1 did net expect that 1...tvas going to getinto a. news-
paper 'Controversy. In your issue today, there I a., long, rambling letter from
touneiller Huck** and With Your nermlasiOn, I Om taking the liberty of res

rich) and 0,O popp!o breve trusted

of the Tax Collector* Shortages'

in the good, coinnitussense, and good judgment or ,our own people. •
Councillor -Hopkins sayo that the people are now doing their own think-
ing- ,
May I pahat out to him that the people of Goderich, have always used
their heads, long before he 'honored the town with his distinguished 'citizen-
ship, and they will no doubt continue to do ,so long after he and I are for-
gotten. c,
Titer; is peeking to be gained by our "rethreshing a lot of old straw." The
question of the tat collector's shortages is now in 'the Courts and the matter
is' therefore Siabludtot and it is not ethical to Maass the matter poblicly.
But the sooner Coueollior Huckins gets away ,from the idea, that he Is a
superman and not a• common, ordhiary, everyday' Canadian; like the rest of
us, the better it will be for the peace, order, and good government of 'our town.
What is the record of Councilor Iluckins in the council of 1934—presum-
ably its leading asol most active member.
1 Atsthe end <i934, the town was $10,000 further in debt than it was at
the beginning of the year.
Then dining the year he COttaplained that the Hydro Electric Power Com-
mission had given too favorable a contract to the Goderieh Elevator and Tran-
sit Co. and insisted on an audit or the Hydro books With negative resulte.
What happened?
• This year's council had to pay- the bill and the'. Elevator Company con-
tended that it was already paying too much and threatened to put in Diesel
▪ entities.
Thellydro Conunission of OntariaJearing to lose•acustomer, rushed, in and i
' gave the Elevator Company a better contract than it ever had, at, approxi-
mately $2,000 per. year less than, the old contract.
That is, the town is losirk ‘stehut $2,000 per year because Councillor Huckins
