Cooper was ap- pointed and expressed his appreeia- tion for the honour conferred upon hhn. He then called upon Mayor Ken, G. Waters. Mayor K. G. Waters Mayor Waters thanked the council and citizens for their co-operation during the past year and stated his intention of letting his name appear on the ballot as candidate for a sec- ond term. Mr. Waters hoped that this would be a clean campaign and without personalities. Then he spoke of the work done on the streets and local improvements. When May"dr Waters first took office last year he l! made a vow that "no child in Clinton! would go hungry" and we, might add that he has kept his word. He also spoke of the courteousness with which he has always been treated by the staff and of how splendidly the new clerk is doing. Mr. Waters then gave a complete account of the expendi- tures for the year totalling $49,000 as received by the tow auditors on Feb. 15th, 1940, leaving a surplus of $23,000, with all the books in good shape and all bonds .giving good re- venue. In' conclusion he again thank- ed the council for their cop -operation and fair manner in the past year. A. J. McMurray After brief opening remarks Mr. McMurray gave an account of the work done by the fire and water com- mittee over' which he acted as chair- man. He stated that not one dollar had been spent on firs or water ex- cept the salaries. He thanked the council- for their co-operation this summer in getting other bands to give concerts here, also the Firs Com- pany on their appearance when on parade and their eo-operation with the committee. If elected he will 1•.•-crganize the citizens hand as they already have uniforms and Clinton has the material and talent. He re- viewed the tax rate over the last five I ars, it being from 40 to 44 mills, nd declared himself opposed to us - ng sinking fund surplus for current xpenditure, The council was critieiz- d for striking a 48 mill rate for 940, but he pointed out that at the 989 rate of 40 mills the year's busi- ess finished with an overdraft, and rates that this is not good business. 2r. McMurray is opposed to early ]ections, as you can get a fairly ac - urate statement if elections are held n January instead of December. He nvited the ratepayers to attend the ouncil meetings and that any sugges- tions would be welcome. His closing words were, care, courtesy and eom- non sense. N. W. Trewartha Mr. Trewartha, reeve for the past hree years would like one mare year on the council before retiring. His next remarks were levelled at the press in reference to the poorly con- ducted meetings. He declared that it was a good council this year, but he hought it neeEed younger men.
