A bridge was also built on the ii th

Varna and also . to straighten the
road,
The county road machinery and

Mr. Johnston said that the nomin-
ation day this year was about as
early as possible. The taxes are a
a little higher, he. said, due to some
grants being made and to have
enough to meet all accounts the
rate was raised Y/ mill. There are
x$2;000 in Victory Bonds, paid for in
the treasury anld we may be able to
purchase some more with the
surplus. It was a :good thing he felt
to invest the surplus in bondsfor
after the war. The school tax had
been reduced one mill by subsidy
this year and Drew has promised to
reduce the school burden by 50 pet
cent next year. He told of the build:
ing of the new Phelan bridge on the
8th line. The township will receive
76 per cent subsidy ou this work.
Other bridges will require work he
said. He mentioned the extra en
penditure for damage done to
stock by dogs. Last year it was but
$20.00, this year over $250.00
He suggested that some of the
war factories be used after the wet
to make chemical for killing weeds
and brush. This to be sold to the

clean up this. situation.
He congratulated the 'Reeve on his

day- evening a splendid Christmas
programme was prseated by the
pupils under the direction• of their
teacher• Geo. McNichol and, the
music supervisor Miss Mills of
Blyth. The programme consisted of
choruses, recitations, die -'•res,
solos, a drill and a monologue. The
children all did their parts well
which was a great credit to tbeir
training. A pleasing part of the
programme was the presentation, of
a travelling case to. Clifton Walsh, a
former Pupil of that school, who was
home on leave from the Navy with
his parents, The presentation was
made by Gordon Wilkinson and the
following: address was read by Sack

To the Electors of Grey Township:
sJ
Having been nominated for the Reeveship of Grey
Township I hereby solicit your vote and influence. If elected
I will buy a dredge for Municipal drains. The Highway Y Dept.,
pays one half of the roads portion and the Township pays A
the other half. That will pay for the dredge. The farms will
, pay the cost of operating, which would not exceed ten cent e
° per cubic yard. The present council . is paying thirty cents
per yard. d will also rent or buy a cement mixer for the
culverts. This year the council built a culvert between lots
10 and 11 Con- 12, containing 48 and a half cubic yards at
a cost of $1145.00 or $23.50 per yard. The Township sup-
plied steel and cement also 2 on the 6th Con. at about the
same cost. Tee illustrate, take a cement wall 9 feet high from
bottom of footing and one ft. thick built for a barn 40x60
feet. This wall would contain 66 cubic yards at a cost of
$23.50 per yard would cost $1549.00 add $150.00 for
° cement would cost $1699.00. I will guaranthe to have these
culverts built at $10.00' per yard by day labor as was done
on Ethel Bridge I have built culverts on Provincial Highways g
with washed gravel that was shipped by rail at a cost of g
$18.11 per yard. To prove I am sincere I will sign an agree-
ment with the township, if 1 fail I will forfeit my. salary.
Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
