the township. Wished the electors the

would do the work intimated to him with
ea:money and disputub. It at the Board
this year when Local Option petition
came up he would have felt disposed to
allow the ratepayers to entrees their
opinion in view et the largely signed
petition. He eolioited the votes of the
ratepayers on eleolioo day.
John. K. Baker, by the argent request
of ratepayers had ooneeuted to be a eau.
didate. It Ole e:eatiou is felt by the
ratepayers to be a ueoessity he will
be glad to serve them. Thought Grey
was a well managed township, It will
be well railroaded, well ditched, well
taxed and be hoped it would ba well man-
aged. Thought often complaints were
brought to the Commit belere work wits
completed. Hoped for cordial support.
The ratepayers know where he Mood on

Ex Reeve Straohan was the next
ap-akar. He took a deep interest In the
affairs of the township He thought lest
year's Council did not du right in their
actino in the Looai Option question when
a Targe petition of 808 was presented to
them. Found no fault ter 1ereons hold
fug opinions of their own lint thought
public opinion bad a right to indica.
The petitioners certainly ehcuid have had
a thence of voting on the question. It
was a high handed prom Klieg to throw it
oat. He had been 25 yenta in Oonneit
but was no ant.-orat. The people shoo d
have tbeir Bey on all public'eeoes and he
believed it the metier were t0 be done
over again the acme course would not be
taken. Petition was turned dawn to
favor the liquor party.
Jas. Turnbull thought the Council wee
afraid to let the people speak, on Laos'
Option. Majorities should role on all
questions. Mr. Cott was a worthy young
man and an equal dietribntion at the
Board for the township should prevail.
W. H. Kerr congratulated the speech
makers and the poet year's Coupon.
Hoped 1906 would be a year of praotioal
