Mr. ]McMurray said he had been
contacted to run for Mayor in
this, Old Home Week year. He
was acquainted; with many ler-
mer citizens and ,`had some time
at his disposal. He had spent a,
good deal of time and energy -in
the past.
Last year, it was all arranged
with the Department to start
early iii • the spring. Council
should have kept up the mill
rale' and 'assumed some of the
cost this year. ` He didn't see any
reason to cut thhe mill rate last
spring when there was so much
ahead. It was not necessary and
was not a good thing to'do.

Raegarding the County Home,
he complimented 'the 'Jacob' fam-

well and everything was 'in good
shape, with clean, ;pleasant sur-
rotmdings" for old' people.' The
County' Health Unit was quite 'an
expense; • but he thought when it
had been in operation 12 months,
you: Would see quite good results.
The County Council was accused
of spending too much money but
that • was okeh when value was
received.'
Mr. Nott told of the work
done on the' streets during the
year in some detail.. The contract
with Levis for Rattenbury; Or-
ange and Marys Sts., was $3,700,
with a rebate of $1,850 coming.
The blacktop would be laid' in
1950 and paid for then. The
Reeve paid tribute to the smooth-
ness of negotiations with the De-
partment of Highways for the
new blacktop on the connecting
links. The balance of the pav-
ing, from 22 feet width to the
curb, would he paid for in 1950,
and that would be subsidized 50
per cent' in 1950.
In conclusion. Reeve Nott an-
nounced his retirement after four
years in Council, three as Reeve,
stating that he had been very
happy working with Council. He
wished the incoming Council
every success.
Harold • E. Hartley
Harold E. Hartley said he had
enjoyed the;yea'rito• the «full az d'
had "acted 'as chairman of . the
Cemetery Committee. •Chargefor
grave openings had been increas-
ed of necessity;: The ,Corp.cil,

Council had started rt, `r The total
assessment ;had been raised 49.9
per cent to"$1,584,069,;:,and if the
1950 Council was as ,careful as the
1949 one, the tax rate should be
is 42 mills.
n_ Mr. Tree artha .denied 'some of.
d the statements of Mr. •lyfcMurray
11 regarding finances. The 1948
e_ 'surplus was $2,000 cash, but the
auditor said it was $5;038; the
o' balance being uncollected taxes.
n Regarding the 1949 tax rate,
Dr. G. S. Elliott
Dr. G. S. Elliott reported for
Fire and Water Committee o
which he was chairman. He out
lined the deal for the new fir
truck. Total cost equipped we
$9,100, less $2,500 for the of
crash truck plus 10 per cent from
the Department plus 25 per cen
additional from the governmen
next year. Council had issued
debentures for $6,500. The fire
truck was something the town
couldn't afford to be without. The
Firemen had bought new uni-
forms themselves, and the hall
had been redecorated.
The speaker said• he had en-
joyed his year on Council. Reeve
Nett had had only one year as
Councillor. He thought he could
handle the town's affairs in
County Council. The Mayor and
Council had been fine to work
with.
Melvin Crich
Melvin Crich said he had serv-
ed five years on Council. Ile paid
tribute to the work done by the
late V. D. Falconer. Drains should
be fixed, and something should
be done in Community Park. A3
a member of. the Property Com-
mittee: he had helped in the lib-
rary job; it would never need
any more expense, The Town
Hall needs redecorating, and side-
walks are needed. •
Mr. Crich said he had served
five years and he felt he was
qualified to serve the town in
the County Council. He would
try to keep the tax rate as low
as possible.
J. W. Nediger, Jr.
John W. Nediger, Jr., chairman
of Property, outlined the large
programme of Work handled by
the Property Committee this
year. The. Town Hall and lib-
rary jobs had seen some trouble,
going away above the estimates
when completed, but the con-
tractor had made a good job of
both of them: It was a situation
that had been bad for years and
should have been rectified before.
Mr, Nediger stated that the
town dump •has cost $300 or $400,
and there should be one person
to take care of this: It had been
decided 'to build new stock scales
as the old ones were absolutely
done. Council had to go to the
CNR for new scales, which would
be in operation in a day or 'two.
The new scales had cost around
$1,200.
He had served for seven years
as Councillor and felt he could
carry on the Reeveship.
M. T. Agnew
Morgan J. Agnew said he would
not run for Reeve. The new as-
sessment, in some respects, was
very unfair. "I have heard that
this was the wisest and smartest
Council since A. T. Cooper's
time," he declared. "I am going
to pause now and congratulate
them; I don't think that 'smart'
is the word; it should be `sharp.'
When they can put their commit
rents over to next year's Coun-
cil]. they're good:"
Mr. Agnew said that wisdom
was not all; there should be
understanding. He would like to
see a littie'more understanding
of the taxpayer's point of view. •
He thought the taxpayer should
be considered just a little more
"I think something should be
done about it, can be done about
it, and will be done about it if
I em elected."
Antoine Garon
Antoine "Red" Garen said the
Relief Comntittee had spent $728
this year. He advocated cleaning
up the entrance. to the park. He
Mr. Trewartha said his 'advice
from the Municipal Board was
not to go over, 60 mills so Coun-
ci'l' had' struck the rate at 62
mills, but it could. have been 60.
There' was going to be a $2,000
surplus alk the end of the year,
and also $3,500 taxes to come in.
This figures out at about $5,000.
a real' healthy surplus.
y siirp us.
The, speaker said that Mr. Mc-
Murray was shedding "crocodile
teams" when he talked about
$6,000 to be paid' for 'by 1950
Council for work done in 1949,
when Mr. McMurray's "sewerage
baby" was costing $17,000 a year.
The road bylaw was for $11,800,
which would mean a subsidy of
$5,900.
The Library Board carryover
was the Library Board's "baby,"
he said. They get a grant each
year and they figure paying for
the work in two years or a little
more.
Mr. Trewartha said he had sat
in 24 Councils and had never sat
in a better one than in 1949.
Dudley Pegg
Dudley M. Pegg said he was
definitely interested in the future
of Clinton. He was convinced
that Clinton was growing and that
this should be done along plan-
ned lines. If the people elepted
him, he would do his best to
serve the town.
Reg. McGee McGee Purchases
Site at Port Albert
The site of the former RAF
e station at Port Albert, where
hundreds of airmen ,of the Brit -
a ish dom3nonwealth were trained
during the war, has been sold
t to Reg. McGee, Goderich. It also
was the scene of the 1946 inter-
national plowing match.
