sorry Mr..Paisley was • dropping
out. He was the kind of 'man
we need. If Mr. Paisley hadbeen
chairman of the sewerage pro-
ject, the town would have saved
thousands of dollar,, Mr. Tre-
%vertha declared. He regretted
that the sinking fund surplus
had been robhed of $21,000 to.
help pay for the sewerage pro=
jest; it wouldn't have been so
bad if $10,000 had been taken.
It was just like taking all one's
savingo out of the bank,
,'Wesley Vanderburgh said he
had not decided what to do. Ile

•Mayor McMurray
Mayor' A. J. MacMurray
marked that 1948 had been
good year
for
Yall
citizens
eluding the business people
mentioned a good .hotel a
pital of which citizens con
proud, a^ school area, and 50
time houses which had been c
plated and occupied.
The Mayor outlined the se
age ' project in' . detail, .,
through the three years of
etruction. It included layin
11 miles of mains, .8-9-10-12

trat lines: of 1,662 feet .and six

ing .the price up to $167;923.35.
Reeve Nott
Reeve' G. WI' •Nett remarked, on
the' cooperation this year. There
was a'good spirit in the County,.
with a broadening' influence. He
compliinented the county 'offie-
iais, and especially thv county
engineer, with regard to th
pavement on King . Street, ` Clin
ton, and thanked the Good Roe
Commission, the County Engi
eer, and the Department of Hig
ways. It was not an easy. matt
to eecure this; he had started o
it the first eek iii January. •
In County Council, he, had
worked on three committees —
executive, library and health arid
hospitals.He described the county
health unit plan which he had
ha'd• much to do with sponsoring.
rt would be a : wonderful thing
for the people, especially' the
children.
(The Town Hall really needed
expenditures upstairs, he said. He
re -thought the revenue derived front
a 'the,':+hall should be turned over
m to its maintenance: .
He Iv W , Trewartha, nominated
hos for. reeve, expalined that 1933

war-• got permission to take.the, $3,000

wo years in Council, he had

that Mr. McMurray bad stood

said he' was not interested

this work at least a' year or

for reeve, said the `town's fin-
ances were in good shape under
his; chairmanship. Nothing' was
owing on the general account
and indebtedness had been clear-
ed. Surplus would be $1,200 to
$2,000. He didn't think this way of
collecting sewerage rentals, was
the best one, and he thought the
Public Utilities Commission
should be taken into- the, fullest
confidence. He `would b' very
much in favour. of -a full • con-
ference.
The County had collected .a lot
If money as a'surp'lus, and some
lame brain had got the d aeiofa
lain brain had got the idea of a
new court house. That had gone
by,;, so they • were looking around
now for more: ways to spend the
people's money. One of these
things was the county health unit
which, he had `been told by a
county "councillor, 'might -cost
$7.5,000 a year. "Times are good•
and while they are good, I think
we should do a little retrench-
ing," ,he said.
He. would give.ReeveNott full,
credit for what he had done on
the .King.'S'treet' pavement""But
why should a person have to beg
for what is his?" he asked, The
work was done through holding
back ,subsidies that `belonged to
the town of Clinton. He' felt he
must go out if not up.
Reeve Nott, regarding health
plan, said that Oxford's cost act -

ually was $46,000 the first year,
and he pointed- out that the Pro-
vince reimburses 50 per cent. The
cost to Clinton would be only
slightly higher than medical costs
at present.
Hugh R. Hawkins, nominated
for Public Utilities Commission '
er, said the quota" had been rats -
ed today sufficiently not to worry
about cut-offs until next July::
