Petitions received by the council •and turned down included a 'paving peti- tion for certain streets; it was not good business at the present time, 'fo'r not only .were those on the street 'af- fected, but a share had to be borne by the general tax rate, The petition of the business men for b'ebter street lighting on Maitt street had .not been granted because of the expenditure in- volved. To put light's on the west side of Main street, poles wound have to be erected and the cost would run •over $4,000. (The lighting system 'had 'been thoroughly overh'au'led a 'few years ago; the 'Mayor aadvis'ed the (merchants to forget a'bou't it for now. The flour mull had missed itlwo payments of prin- cipal amounting to '$6,000, also two years' taxes. Mr. Daly and the Clerk had interviewed Mr. Wolverton at St. Marys and he had ,pronti'sed to pay last year's taxes, hut had not done so. The Canada Furniture 'factory could he 'bought cheap from the Bank of. Commerce; in 'fact t'h'ere was now a movement on foot to get some people interested in - it. 'There was a recent threat to pull the factory down, but that can not be done till the tdwn is Paid, the Mayor said. Mr. Daly said he was in the 'field for Mayor again and would give the dame 'honest ser- vice to the"town he 'haid in the past.

'Councillor Crosier announced he was in the field again for 'council. ]Councillor Isaaac I atdson, 'chairman of the streets committee, gave figures showing that the expenditure for roads 'had been reduced from, $2,6215 in 119311 to $1,312 in '10312, thus saving the sum of $1,'31113, the saving on team- ing land trucks being $5214. A change had been effected so that all expendi- tures had been itemized in detail for street work; Councillor Jno. H. Scott regarded the large audience present as a taken of ap'prec'iation of the 'council's work. This council will always be knolwn as the '"Mand-Itiimes council," he said. In the m'o.ves for'economy :'here had been ' no dissenting voices, and he believed rigid econrolmy must he our Watch- word, He was opposed to mayor pub- lic works rat this time'. He would not be the 'cause df an election but might throw his 'hat into the ring with true rest in the event of an election. Mir.

(Sutherland, nominated for Mayor, ,said the represented 'the common people 'ant ratepayers: 'He appreciated 'Mayor 'Daly's report to this meeting, but the fact that he (Mir. Sutherland) had been put up, showed there was need for a change. He was not in favor of large public expendi- tures; rather, a relief committee was needed to 'handle all appeals' for aid. It would be cheaper for the 'to'wn to maintain. their unemp'loye'd and get the government rebate than attempt big undertakings. He thoughtcriminal j'us'tice costs were a crime in this county—potty 'cases should be tried before Magistrate Greig. He favored flat rates for hydro and thought this should be pressed for with the Ontario Hydro 'Comlmdssion. Dr. John Grieve said he Was stand- ingev d solicited support. for Re a an iMr. R. 'G. Parke was as yet undecide td whether he would run for Public URilitfes. tDra'wi'ng attention to the fact that his two opponents for the mayoralty in '1930, were again facing each other, Mr. Parke criticized M'r. Suitherland's attitude in the council that year. Mr. Sutherland and others replied. Mir. E. L. 'Box, n'o'm'inated for coun- cil and also for 'Public Utilities, was as yet •und'e'cided. He had 'municipal experience and was a heavy taxpayer amid would want to see the town's (money spent judiciously. In regard to tax p:aymenits, hie 'suggested a system like that of Toronto, whereby a rate- payer could pay part or all of his taxes any ,month Of the year, equalized to December 'without penalty. In regard to flat rate for Hydro, he had -written fast month, on 'behalf Of the industrial committee, to try to start such a movement by the Western (Ontario Cha!mlbers of Co'mmer'ce. Mr. Louis Eberhart announced he was in the field for council and asked for support. His pla'tiarm was econ- omy. Mr. Thos, H. Johnstone said he had .no intention df standing. Mr. James Rivers ''said he would not stand. 5. M'clMi4'1'an said much had been heard of economy at this meeting and he was glad to hear ill. He had no i'nten'tion of running; no serious fault had been found with the old council, they were the 'first to start a reduction of expenses and be was not in 'favor of turning oat those Who had made a good beginning. • IMr, J. W. 'Beattie said he was glad Mr. Crosier admitted he was the means, of bringing in the meat bylaw; he ,had never seen 'ohs bylaw, but was sorry it was. not enforced. He ,had sh no htn o d ' er t gt do t slit the bylaw or the charge ]'aid under it. At the same tint's, he pointed out, it was only right that those who came in front outstide to peddle in town shouldh con'tri'bute their share to the town ex- pense, just as he and all other mer- chants are d'o'ing.
