A number of citizens were out to watch the :proceedings in the hands of the nett council. And, by the way, Mayor Holmes might have been an old timer, so gracefully and efficiently did' he pre- side. He' congratulated the -council- lors, old and' new on their election and then called upon Rev. F. G. Far - rill. to open the meeting with prayer, which he did, the mayor and council standing, Rev Mr. Panel].Panel].also in- vited the mayor and council, togeth. er wti:h their: families, and all the other public bodies in the town to attend the evening service in Ontar- io street church on Sunday evening next, On motion of C'ouneillors Cook and Inkley this invitation was accepted with thanks. relapse.

He said he realized that at the present time Society is like a person who .has had a serious illness and 'is pow -convalescing. It is an anxious: time, as in convales- cence there is always a danger of about to step into something better. He had :a feeling, something like that which prevailed before the great war, that :something was going to happen. He said that at the iast ineeting of the old council a propos- ial had been put up to it in regard to new industries and that the old coun- cil had been solidly behind any pro- ject -which : would be for the good of the town. He felt 'that 'he could say as much for the new counciI,. He had been talking to Mr. Mackie last week, he said; and had urged him to come along and make some definite proposal. After the reading. 'of the urinates of the last meeting and the •state- tory meeting a couple of communica- tions were read, one from the Ontar- fe Good Roads Association; asking for a.m.embeeehip fee and extending an invitation to a banquet to .be given in the Royal York, Toronto, on Feb. 21st.. On motion of Reeve El- liott and Councillor Inkley this was filed, Mr•. James Cook of Joseph Street wrote, sending greetings to the new eounleil, saying that as "the old council had left him stranded :he hop- ed the new one Would send a tug to pull him out." Reeve Elliott asked just what this rneant and Councillor. Walker explained that the snow plow never went near 1\lo Cook's residence,. which is the only one in the block, and he thought he had a grievance, As Mi..

Stong, presented to the statutory meeting of the old council and 'left over for consideration of the new, was brought up and, on motion of Reeve Elliott and Councillor Mur- docli it was accepted, applications to be, advertised for. In speaking to the motion Reeve Elliott said that it was not the wish of the old council nor, he believed, of thee n w ahe that Chief Stong should resign. Ile had filled the position with great satisfaction and it was with regret that his resignation was be•• Mg accepted. Councillor Cools also expressed his regret at losing Chief Stong and Mayor Hohnes added his word of appreciation and regret. "Chief Stong•" he said, 'was a man of outstanding ability in his line and his resignation was a loss to the. community," Three years ago he had turned down an offer ;from the town of Elmira of a similar position at an incroase in salary, preferring 'to remain in Clinton. He had always found him a gentleman and was per- sonally very sorry to see him go. Although most of the heads of ceniinittees shook their• heads when reports were called for the Bylaws committee hada couple of bylaws to Pass, No, 1, to elect certain officers: J. 'Wiseman and W. B. Armstrong as auditors; Col. Rance to the Colle- giate board for a three year term; F. Fingland to the Public Library. Board for a three year term; and R. E.

Mayor Holmes explained that this sum would not all be bor- rowed at once, might not all be bor- rowed, "but only such sums as were necessary. He also said that he felt sure the interest rate would be a Iittle lower thiel year.

Councillors Walker and Inkley made a motion that all town officials be advertised for When the chief constable is advertised for, But the motion did notmeet the approval of the other members of the emend'. Both mover and seconder said that they had no fault to find with any dile/al, but that he had heard some talk on the street that all offices should be thrown open. Mayor. Holmes, Reeve Elliott and Council-. lois Gook and Murdoch each expres- sed disapproval of this idea. "If of- flclials are, :giveng satisfaction why do so?" asked Me, Cook. "It puts the council in an awkward position and shatters the confidence . of the officials," declared Reeve Elliott; "Personally I ani not in favor of ops ening all offices," said Mayor I•iol rhes. "If anyone wants to apply for any position, let frim do sae"said Councillor Murdoch, On putting the motion only themover and seconded voted for it On motion of Councillors Murdoch and Lawson the •council decided to ask Mr, O.

The clerk al,§o was asked to send a !letter con- veying this to the councillor: Andso the first' council meeting. of 1935 was adjourned. If. AND S.
