Glared that the other members of I
council are in favor of it although itl BRUCEFIELD
will mean higher assessments for •
taxpayers. The town surplus he de-
clared, should be used to reduce the
tax rate. He believed the oil con-
tract should have been cancelled and
said ratepayers will find next year
they have to nay it all over again.
The reason why the clog issue has
been handled so gently by council is
that five councillors are dog owners,
he charged.
I stand for re-election," Council-
lor Ross said, "and for the best in-
terests of the working man."
Mayor Reid replied to Councillor
Ross' charges.
Mayor Reid explained in some de-
tail about the advantages to the
town by having a surplus.
Councillor W. T. Teall said it had
been a pleasure to be a member of
council the past two years. He had
helped with the dumping situation
and with housing. He believed it wise
to purchase the eight acres of land
at the west side of town, a very fine
sight. When council found they had
struck a dead end this year re hous-
ing, he had sponsored a motion that
veterans could purchase these lots at
a nominal fee, and he hoped some
will take advantage.
"I don't think many realize how
easy financially it is for them to
build hoaxes," he said. •
Dr, Brady, Medical Officer, of
Health, commended the county coun-
cil for adopting the new health unit.
It would be more efficient. The only
drawback would be the handling of.
local health problems through God-
erich instead of locally: Certain pent
pie will: find the new county
will be more strict in enforcement
of the regulations, Dr. Brady said.
Ross Savauge, chairman :of the
Public School Board, reviewed the
