IL Elliott are'the,only ones who have 'signed tip thus an el- ection is avoided, and they, with Councillors Dr. Thompson, W. S. R. Holmes and 0. L. Paisley, Reeve Langford and Mayor H:- B. Combe constitute the council board for Clin- ton for 1028. Two of the new cauneillors, Messrs. Livermore, who has been a member of the•board for the past six years, and Elliott, who, makes his bow this year, this being. second`v venture into g e o the civic field, werenominated at the or- iginal nomination meeting in Decem- ber but, for teasobs best known to themselves, refused to sign up. Mr. Livermore said at the 'meeting on Monday that he had his own personal reasons but had been persuaded to stand again. At the conclusion of the-nomipa- tions }t?;ayor„Combe was called, to the chair and the matinees preeent were given an opportunity to speak. Mess- rs.: Trewartha, Livermore, Smyth, Holloway, Cantelon end Draper took the platform.' Mr. Miller, was pre- sent but refusedto go forward, the others were not present., t., --Mr. Trewartha thought that with the number who were before the peo-• t'le it .would notbe hard to nhoese three good men for the council, He 'went over some of the ground cover- ed at the former nomination and said he had tried to serve the interests of the town. He thought, however, it was a. good plan to break in new men and was not anxious to serve. Be certainly would not cause- an election. Mr. Livery or said res re had e au d .s. p been brought to bear,on hint and he had determined to • re-enter the field. As he had had six• years experience he thought lie might be able to serve the town to advantage. Ile pled for co-operation from the citizens. He thought the council last year had done good work and said constructive sug- gestions were always welcome. "Do not knock," he Bald, . "H you have a good suggestion let us' have it.” M'r.. Smyth said he had had -six years' exeprience on the outsell board of the City of Oshawa and if wanted to sit on board here would do his beat for the town. i Ile thought that:e: town like Clinton should: have irrdudements to offer manufacturers. For instance, Clinton' should have a sewage `system, Had such a system been introduced sante years ago At might have been half paid for by now. Ile thought if Clinton wished to attract manufact- uring firms it would have to provide modern conveniences Mr. Holloway said he woad time cause an election but if he was needed 'to make a full council he would stand. He had bad six year's experience as. a councillor in Clinton, was a member of the council nineteen years: aro when waterworks Was installed,; Ile took some satisfaction in 'feeling that he did his little partan ab about that improvement, which he consid-• eyed the best investment Clinton ever made. He was fond of the old town. couldn't stay away from it, hadtried it two or three times, ,but Was never satisfied until he got back. His wish was that the town should prosper. Mr. Cantelon said the others had not left much to, be said but he pro- ceeded to talk until the chairman' re- minded. him: that time was up. Ile- d Ile - charged. that the street eonnnittee had squandered money, had .paid t vo 'or three prices to have corners rounded off sidewalks and had made a poor• deal: with the highway builders for material to. be ,.used en lstreets,: thought all public warlc should be let by tender. Draper said he was not`lookin g for the job of couaicillor but had boon urged to allow his name to go fer•: ward." He reserved the right to. with draw in favor of another if: heGmisid- ero d him the right man for the place and caused a laugh by adding,- "But he will have to submit to my judg- nent as to that." When the nominees had all spoken thechairman nau•n ai r i card that if the three vacaneies could be filled. without an election it would faWhtate the getting' down to business, as they could be sworn inland commence n2 once anpoint conunittece, etc. ; l3'e thought, that from.' the men nominated three good' councillors could bo chosen, KF VISITED C017NTY II03212 The • members of:Wesley Willis Sunday'school'aventdown.lo the Hui' - . on County Home on Th crsdey even- ing teatand'gave the greater part of thei • Christmas i tm•s concertn• a e a sl,ra�-a'i the benefit of h b n the r stdei t. e i }re al - r,3• Y se had a gift of candies And oranges for each member of the Heine: • TWO DEATHS AT HOMF,, Two deaths, took place this week at the Huron County Home, that of Miss Sarah Jamieson of IIullett township, whose funeral took place, from the- Clinton undertaking rooms yesterday afternoon.
