Mayor Edmund Daly paid tri- bute, to the memory of the late Mayor Christie. He announced that Councillor P. L. Brady had decided to retire from council and spoke highly of the service he had rendered. Mayor Daly told how so much of the council's ac- tivities are regulated by mu/dra- ped law, giving tax arrears as an example. According to law the maximum penalty on tax arrears is 6 per cent. It council could set up a private financing arrange- ment and charge say 30 per cent the arrears would quickly be paid. He told of many ways in which the ratepayers can aid a council. The average citizen can make an effort to pay taxes and other municipal accounts prompt- ly, Our credit rating is based on tax arrears, because the ilrst thing a brokerage house looks up is the state of the tax arrears, This affects the interest rate on town borrowings. Civic pride was another point, citizens could help Improve the general appearance of the town by improving their own property. There had been five major building projects this year, On the liquor questions, he said he bad no hesitation in telling he had been "yes" on all of them, prefering to see it legal and ab- ove board. The sewer addition is about ready to commence. The P.U.C. is planning on beautifying Main street with a change in the street lighting. On the debit side the town has not been able to sell the old shoe factory. The tightened up building bylaw is working well, he said. Also the town scales under private opera- tion is satisfactory to all. Some headway has been made on the tax arrears problem. The hospital board has purchased land for a new hospital and the council as well as the public will be asked to help, As chairman of the pol- ice committee his attitude of non interference with the police op- eration had proved correct. The crime incidence is low and there is no friction. He believed ev- eryone should plan to make them- selves available for public office; he did not intend to stay too long believing a change brings fresh ideas to council. The town had bought a used tractor. Last spring the town truck had to drive 3,000 miles on trips to I-Iolmesville for gravel, this year a gravel stock pile for spring needs has been started at the disposal plant grounds. Trac- tor rental was $600 this year. In closing the mayor said that half of our tax money goes to education, yet our biggest export is our school graduates, Reeve William Ball said the town had spent only $1,000 of a $2,700 relief budget this year. He told of his work at county coun- cil, referring to Children's Aid, library and executive committee Continued on Page 4 Acclamation In Tuckersmith For Reeve and Council TUCKERSMITH NOMINATIONS The following aro Tuckersmith nominations: For Reeve: Ivan Forsyth by Chas, Eyro and Russell Dallas.

The meeting hold in the auditorium of town hall here was not largely attend- ed, Nominations were received by the township clerk, Mrs. Cora Chesney. When time was up she announced that all offices ap- peared to be filled by acclama- tion, if all nominated qualified. Next year's Tuckersmith coun- cil will be Reeve Ivan Forsyth; Councillors Frank Falconer, Vic- tor Lee, Elgin Thompson, Arthur Varley, The meeting named W, P. Ro- berts, sec-treas., of the area school board, as chairman of the ratepayers meeting which fol- lowed. Mr, Roberts remarked that the attendance was quality rather than quantity. He said there hacl been increasing taxes. There was enormous potential production capacity both indust- rial and agricultural in Canada too large for the comparatively small population to absorb it all. 911 the past Mr. Roberts said war had been the solution for problems, but today war was too dangerous. I3e was hopeful the future would gradually bring about a balance. Farmers were in a better position. As prices went down the farmers purchasing power would rise, Reeve Ivan Forsyth, entering on his fifth year as reeve, said it was a pleasure to give a report of the year's municipal work. Hehanked electors for their support during his years of office. Before he close of his address he said he was seeking the honor of Hur- n County Warden for 1961. The r aesults were unpredictable but if uccessful in his quest he would o everything he could to serve he whole county. Reeve Forsyth said the nomin- tion was being held in Novena- er instead of December. It had of brought out larger attend - nee. There was only one muuici- ality in the county that had ominations in December. The artier nomination interfered with giving as complete a finan- ial report as usual. Reeve Forsyth reported that ssessment had increased $80,- 00 this year, and taxation about 3000. The Union Gas pipe line ad been added to the roll. He aid the school area rate had in- reased. He said that the elimination of ie former general school rate ad affected the union school ection in the north east corner of township which was partly upported by farms in McKillop nd Ribbert. These small sections issed the general school grant hich used to be paid to all sec- t 0 d b n a P n e c a 0 h e t h s a to w tions, Reeve Forsyth said it was known that the mill rates for both Seaforth and Clinton high schools were up. Both had built additions this year. The reeve said the 1059 tax arrears had stood at $19,800 and at the last report on Sept. 30 were $15,300. The bank loan at the end of September was $56,- 000. 56;000. the lowest in years. Reeve Forsyth said he had served of three committees at county council. The clerk -treasur- er had given a word of caution at county council. Five hospitals were in the process of building in the county, He considered it wise for careful consideration of the wishes and feelings of the peo- ple who were ratepayers, Reeve Forsyth said Huron county has one of the largest road mileages for size and population. He was thankful to the county engineer for the work on the county road south of Demond- ville. The cost had been $20,000. It still had to be black topped at a cost of $15,000, bringing the cost tip to $36,000 for the mile. This was about average for coun- ty road work, and showed the large suns needed for county road work. He said if 82 utiles of present county road were turned back to the municipalities it would moan somewhat increased costs for than, Reeve Forsyth said work at the Huron county hone south of Clinton was progressdug and would be opened some tune next gear, Continued on Page 4 Harvey Mason Passes Suddenly The death occurred suddenly on Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock of Hervey Mason, Wheat street, at his home, Ifo lmd been ai'olntl a8 usual, apparently In good health.
