Monday evening a public meeting was held in the Town Hall to heat thespeecha- fyiug of the various candidates nomin• atecl for the Council awl School Board in Brussels for 1897. B. Gerry was voted to the chair and the apoakere were called upon in the order of their nomination. W. H. Kerr, Reove elect, expressed his thanks for the New Year's gift presented to hila by the electors in an acclamation Reeveshilp election for the fourth time. The piddle affairs of Brussels for 1890 had been carefully and economically ad- ministered and he hoped the new Conti - oil would adopt similar modes. A brief commentary of the receipts and expendi- ture, as outlined by the Financial state- ment, waseg g iven and passing reference made to the efficiency of the town Band ; market scales ; street improvements, &o, Our assessment was about $5;000 below 1895, the shrinkage being in personal property. The total amount of Sinking Fund was stated as $4,300. Debora. tore debt included :-Ronald bonus, $20,000, Bearing interest at 7% and matur- ing in 1898 ; front street, $2,200, at 7%, falling due in 1898 ; now public school, $7;600, at q% to run 29 years yet ; the Consolidated debt is Fire Engine, $5,000, at 6%, and Howe Loan, 85,000, at 6%. $2,400 of the sinking fund is out on mort- gages on farm lands. The population of Brussels is about the same as last year ; WO still bail all our indnetries and with a spirit of unity the future should brighten up. There is room and a necessity for eovoral small industries that would give employment to young people and the speaker thought a vigorous effort should be made to establish them during 1897. He would use his best endeavors to aid Brussels, tho prettiest village in Huron County. Geo. Thomson had no fttalt to find with old Council and as only about 1/6 of the total tax was controllable by them he thought they slid well iu handling the share they were responsible for. Was a candidate for Councillor and if elected would use his bestoudeavors bo advance the welfare of Brussels. Doc. Warwick was satisfied with the old Council tend oousegoenlly wonld thank his mover and seconder stud retire. Lcatherdale p R a Bat Od for the o thnrcl time and returned thanks for the honor done him in the past. Be asked for re. (ideation as Councilman a for 1897 , . Would not make a apeeah as the Reeve lead covered the ground ftil•ly. 3Ie was the candidate of no oliquo or party and if re• turned would do, as he had iu the past, the bust he could for the town. Had no regrets foe municipal work done in 1826, as he believed the Council did well. George Baehr thanked the doctors for placing him at the Board a year ago. Believed the work had been done with °eonemy and after an experience of 7 years never knew a year in which more careful management was manifested than in 1890. Would not make a lengthy speech as the Reeve had given the correct statement. Would like to see an aeola- mation election and if returned would, ae bo hall always done, work in the interests of Brussels. Was not running nnclor the wing of any party and thought if all worked unitedly Brussels might boom. Wiahod all the compliments, of the 8OaBon. J. 3. Gilpin said he was in the field for Councillor and if elected would do hie beet to enhance the interests of Brussels. Had no fault to 11111 with old Council but be hoped, if there was a contest, to be at the head of tho poll next Monday, II, L. Jecicsnu was nob a candidate as he wits satlalled with the olcl Board and thought he could do bettor work repair- ing w0.101100 and Oloolvo than repairing oidewalko. Heard there was likely to be an acclamation election for both Council. and School Board so, with the consent of his mover and seconder, he would retire. The names of 11, G. Wilson, W. F. Stewart, Jas. Fox and R. Graham were also called, but the gentlemen were not prom) 1. For School Board vaaanoies G. F. Blair was the first speelter. He said if he were eloo1ed he would do his beat for the edit. cational interests of 13rassola. No insti- tution gives bettor value or should have a bettorplacein the mind of tho ratepayers than a well managed school. Both our school and teachers were a credit to the place and the record ebowe that we hold en enviable position in the Co. for good work done. Was williug to drop out if a compromise could be tarranged to save an election, if not he asked the cordial support of the electors. Wm. Blaehill was a candidate for a seat at the School Board and if elected would do what ho considered to be right for Brussels. Returned thanks to his nominator mud seconder. W. P Vanetone, J. G. Skala, A. Coos. ley and Jas. Turnbull were on the pro.' gram for speeches but am not appear. BRUSSELS PUBLIC SCHOOL.
