The start off was elow but at the expiration there were nominees to double the required offioee and to spare, and came in the following order Reeve— Nominator. Seconder. W. H. Herr, D. Ewan W. C.

Somers Atter announcement had been made as to election, it one is neeeseary, F. S. Scott wee voted to the ohair and speeoh- afying was the order for about an hoer. The members of 1904 were asked to speak before the other nomiuee0. R. Hondereon said he was not a r'peeoh maker and after a three year term as Councillor naked for promotion to the Reeve's ohair and then would drop out. 1904 was a busy year in connection with the woollen mill bneineee and the propos ed sewer and numerous meetings were held, Mr. Wood was now in poaseseion of the woollen mill and he would employ from 17 hands upward. It looks as if he was going to push the business. Deoieion wee not yet given as to the sewer suit, He woo opposed to the last appeal and voted that way. It eleoted he would endeavor to do hie duty and attend Carefully to the bneineee of the. town. Robt. Thomson was not present.'` 8. T. Plum did the beat he could ea a Councillor last year and if re eleoted would do the saran. Alfred Brother was not in the Hall. W. H. Kerr appreciated the hoo,lr of occupying the Reeve'e chair but es he had already had 7 years in it he would dtcline the privilege this year and open the. way for the promotion of another. Indications ae to increased pro8l'arity are not wanting in Brunets as inettnced by the rebuilding of P, Ament'e mitt end the selling of woolen factory to Mr, Wood. The town will lose nothing by the exemption of Mr. Ament'e factory for a Pew years ae the taxes would only be from the land had it net been rebuilt. Was always opposed to Municipal law - suite and Brussels bad a dear encogh lesson with the Ronald foundry. Would like}lo see a piece of permatleut roadway put ;Iowa North of the bridge ae it would prove its worth in a short time. (toped a good Council would be eleoted anti he would do hie beat to aid them in edvanc. ing the iutereete of Brunets. Clerk Boott made an explanation as to why the Fivanoial Statement wee not ready for dietribation and gave et eynopoie from the written copy. Tilos. Newsome not in attendance. M. H. Moore thanked hie mover and seconder and retired from the field. Geo, Muldoon was not present. W, F. Stewart was a heavy ratepayer and believed strongly in keeping down expenses. Thought it a mistake to go into the lawsuit and if Bleated would endeavor to eettle it. Had been at the Board before and had endeavored to do his duty. Was not likely to make n cttny&09 a9 he was too busy. H. R. Brewer was not intending to be a oandidate but now that he was nominated be would allow hie name to stand and if among the chosen would endeavor to keep down expenses. B. Gerry was not sure ae to what hie decision might be as to the Reeve's' ohair and would take notil tomorrow to decide. Would like to have hoard from the retiring Reeve ae to last year's work, Our rate wag one time only 18 mills on the '$ but now 22. Tho law ooste of the sewer suit will be largo, from 5500 to 51000. He thought the town wag worthy of better rule and expenses Bhonld be kept down, The drainage done this year was on the ratepayer's pocket instead of on the streets. Wag interest• ed in the progress of 0000aele and thought the town deserved the best Municipal mac • agement and candidates for the various offioee now in the gift of the people. Was not opposed to exemption to favor growing indaetriee. F. 5, Boott 00 Oink referred to the einking (node; gave ah explanation of the various etepo in the sewer law suit and in reply to a question noted tbet the town lost $118 in the Lookridge Pascoe on woolen factory, Mr, Wood aaanmee the faotory on the oonditione of the Look - ridge By-law paying $600 annually on loan and oleo pays the taxon. .town holds mortgage ae seonrity for lot a on faotory acid the machinery, Mr. Wood moved into it from Roskwood. The eudionse dieperged at the doge of Mr. Boott'e reworks, There were none of the trustee 00,1. neee present excepting one and as a remit not word was said of the work or ex. penises of the poet year. Tbie ie hardly justice to the ratepayers or the school. NO ELECTION. Tuesday B. Gerry withdrew from the Reeveehip, electing R. Henderson. Geo. Muldoon, G. L. Welker and Geo, Thom. son reeigned ea oandidatoe for Council lore ; A. Bather, H. R. Brewer and Thos. Newsome did not file their property qualifications with the-Olerk, n000rdiug to Statute, and were oonsegnently disquali- fied, eo S. T. Plum, Robt. Thomson, W. F. Stewart and Jae, -Jones, the remaining 4 candidates, were deolared elected to seats at the Board for 1906. P. Ament and Geo. Tbomeon reeigned from the Trustee °outset end J. G. Skene, W. M. Sinolair and P. Farrow were ohoeen. Considerable discussion has been going the rounds einem Tuesday over the result of the eloatioo and lank of aoquaiotanoe of the law ae to tbe neoeeeity of planing the property qualifioationwith the Clerk within the allotted time. THE Pose pub. Iiehed these clarion of the new law several times of late but poseibly than iutereeted overlooked the reference. Hints to Postoffiice Goers, To the Editor of Tan POST : Two weeks ago I asked the patrons of the P. 0 to put the County in which the P. 0. is eitnoted at the lower left hand °other of the envelope. Afew and very few have done so but we thank those who have and hope the number will exon be vastly'noreaeed. One of the most important things in the P. 0. department is distribution. Should a letter get into a wrong paokage it might vanes a serious delay in getting to ire destination. We make up every morning eight separate paokagee of lettere for the mail olerk on the railway. None of these does the clerk open. He opens the way package which oleo eon- taine the registered lettere. Dietribnbion is so important that every mail clerk on the road is examined once a year before au expert, and he is bound to make al- mont a perfeot examination in the die. tribnti,n of some 1500 lettere in about one hour. If he don't come up to a ter. tain standard he may look ons to be pot on a ran that the clerks oall a "cow. path." AT Tau P. 0. WIOEET, A few days 000 the following dialogue took plane :—"Are there any lettere for Mr Wm. Jeneo 2" The P. M. looks and rep"rte nnihina. "Aro there any letters for Mre. Jades 2" "No 1 Sir." "Are there any lettere for Mary Jonoe 2" "150 1" "Are there any letters for Jemima Jolles 7" No I "Are there any lettere " "Yoe had hatter some around and look for yourself " There are iota of people who won't take "No" for an runway. They say "Please look again,' or "Are you acre there is noth- ing 1" "Hon never looked," eto. Yet the P, M in expeoted t0 smile and look pleasant. Yours Truly, T. rename, P. M., Brueeele.
