Nomination Meeting.—The nomina-
tion meeting was held in the Town
Hall on Monday evening from 7 to 8
o'clock, •with the Village Clerk, James
k'attereon, as returning officer,
Those 'nominated for Reeve were
Robert Higgins, the present Reeve;
Owen Geiger, and Alex. Smith:
For Council, George C. Petty, Jas.
Priest, Robert Cameron, James Sang-
ster. J. W. Ortwein, William Con -
sits and William Sangster. •
For school trustees: Thomas Welsh,
Henry Soldan and William A. Mc-
Laren. These were returned by ac-
clamation,
For Hydro Commissioner, Charles
Moore was returned again by ac-
clamation.
At the close of the nomination
Clerk Patterson was asked to take the
chair for the after meeting, and after
a few words called art Mr. Robert
Higgins, the present Reeve, to address
the meeting, Reeve Higgins, who was
in splendid form, gave a review of the
rk of the County Coencil, our local
Council and the Hydro and other de-
partments and claimed a surplus in
nearly all departments, His review
cf County affairs and town finances
was a subject of pleased comment
from his audience. The Reeve also
reviewed the work of the school and
althougfi this year the school only
received 7 mills from the Council,
they have a surplus of $728. Before
the Continuation School was built it
took 12 mills to run the schocil and
the Reeve claimed it was certainly
good business for the town to have
built the Continuation school and give
the children a chance for a better
education at a reduction in taxation
cf 5 mills. and the Secretary,Treasu
jr-
er of the School Board is just asking
for a 6 mill rate for 1929. The Reeve
was followed by Councillor Petty
who gave a short. practical address,
followed by Councillors Sangster and
Cameron. 1Tr. Geiger was then call-
ed on and Stated that he would be a
candidate for the Reeveship. He
claimed first that there w,as a sum of
$3.052 that should be'to the credit of
the County road but when brought to
task by the Reeve, admitted that the
Exeter grant was just $1,500 which he
claims is missing. He really doesn't
know, apparently, Whether town ever
received it or not. He condemned the
action of the County Council in in-
creasing the salary of Mr. Young,
county treasurer, to the sanie amount
as received by Mr. Lane, minus the
bonus, although admitting that Mr.
Young was doing far superior work.
He spoke on the appeal on his own
assessment and condemned the action
of the council in taking over the Street
light in front of Miss Jessie Bell's,
Mr, Smith was then called on and
roundly condemned Mr. Geiger for
some of his actions and statements
that he made in the press some time
ago. Mr. Smith was much dissatis-
fied with the Geiger assessment, Mr.
Ortwein was then called o,n and gave
a short address after which Mr. Gei-
ger asked to give a reply to Mr.
Smith. After Mr. Geiger got through
Mr. Smith replied, The Reeve then
wound up the debate. The Reeve
took Mr, Geiger severely to task for
trying to create a false impression
throughout the village, that there
should be more money in the treasury
that wasn't accounted for, He stated
that every dollar that was sent down
to Hensall in grants in 1927 was used
in 1927 to pay general expenditure
and that according to the auditors' re-
port and the treasorer's statements
and that all the council of 1928 had to
stall with was $59 in cash and a small
amount of outstanding taxes and that
every dollar of the amount was used
in paying unpaid 1927 'accounts. The
Reeve (answered the arguments of the
other speakers. He gave a short re-
view of the Old Age fle116i0115 Bill
• which *ill be passed at the January
session of the Ontario Legislature and
slated that he was working on the
rase and that he had sent in to the
Government a liat of natnes that he
thonght woalti be eligible for Pensions
in Hensall, 4.n closing, the Reeve
stated he would again be h candidate
for the Reeveabip and asked to be re -
'kneed to the Reeve's chair, if only
throngh a spirit of fair play. The
• nucil of this year nave a Ve
orable record. They have re need
the tax - rate, unproved the lighting
end Hydro tel of tIte
built tip the roads to possibly the best
in the 1Province,'paid,off 86,000 of alie
town debt and broke practically even
and AS the school can do with a mill
less next year and the roads will only
need very little expenditure, 3 mille
should again be knocked off the tax
rate for 1929.
