He congratulated the 1935 council on the way they carried on the town's affairs. He stated that there were -a few differences among the rnenibers, but that they had been straightened out satisfactorily. Concerning the matter of the shor- tage in the acceunts of the former tax -collector, Mr. MacEwan stated that he knewsnothing of the matter until he took office at the beginning of the year. After a ood deal of "dickering with the bonclingseempany involved, the matter was settled and --the-Town _received $7,000- 'from -the tompany to cover the shortage- a over $8,000. Ex -councillor, Fred Seabrook. ask- ed if the amount was not $8600 rath- er than $8,494, as the Mayor stated. His worship replied that it might be. His. Worship pointed out the bright futurethat was in store for the town .in respect to its industries which he named over and 'outlined with pride.

He spoke of the work that had been done on the roads around town this year, and gave an Outline of his -service to the town as reeve.. ,Mr. Knox replying to Mr. Huckins riiiinafl5s,' declared that this is the first time that he has ever been eall- ed on, to get up and say anything at a nomination meeting, but that he felt he was Justified in doing so. The unfortunate circumstances that have come to pass in town have eat a shadow over all our oublic officials, ;he said. He then read a letter, ad- dressed to himself, from the auditors in which their reasons for delaying any proceedings at the time of the first audit last year were pointed out. -This letter, is reproduced in this edi- tion. _ • E. D. Brown, chairman of the p Finance Committee, expressed • the opinion that there were grounds for considerable satisfaction in the town financial statement. . "The town of Goderielr has paid -every obligations in full," said the speaker. He coni- rnented on the fact that people quite often complain that the tax -rate is too high. "The only way to bring the tax -rate down is to keep it up for a few years- and pay, as you go," Mr. Brown declared. He stated that in a few years, we will have done with the 0. W. S.
