MANY NOMINATED
FOR MAYOR, REEVE
AND COUNCILORS
(Continued from Page One)
Speaking on the transient question
he said that he. considered 75% of
them 'should. not be on the road.
Transient meals when he took office
cost 40c, this later was reduced to
35c and during last year this was re-
duced to 20c a mea.1 The town ac-
tually out of their own revenue pays
but one-third of this amount,- the
:governinents paying two-thirds.
Re the financial position of the
-Gown, he said they were in good
shape, in fact, few towns were in bet-
ter shape. The Mayor did not state
his intentions, saying he would con-
sider the matter until the foll6wing
evening.
Coon. Fred Davidson, who was
nominated for Reeve, has been four
years in the Council and during the
last two years has been Chairman of
the Street Committee.
He said of the twenty-one men who
had been on relief only some were
fit to work.. The cost of relief was
$1899.51, one-third of which the Do-
minion Govt. paid and one-third was
paid by ' the Provincial Government.
The town's share was $565.67.
Two or three drains had to be re-
paired, this was done on the relief
plan. 825 yards of gravel had been
•
•
usedon the roads this' year at a cost
of $;565. Due to the dry summer 25
tons of calcium chloride had been us-
ed* on the roads which cost $625. Of
this $3.09 had been charged as front,
age tax: The total amount spent by
the Street. Committee '' was $3328,74;
but of this the Government would.
pay $54 and the County :$146.
He explained an item of $426.89,
Haat had been spent on the main sew-
ers. Heavy rains. had washed sand
and gravel into the main sewer and
it was decided to clean these, for if
they ceased to function the cost
would be much greater and it would
cause greater inconvenience. The to-
tal cost, labor, rent of machine, was
$426.89. The debentures for payment
on Josephine Street have jest two
more years to run, i,
Coun, C. R. Wilkinson, who has
been chairman of the Fire Committee
reported that there had been some
criticism about his recommendations
of the purchase of a fire engine. He
explained that the water pressure
varied very considerably in different
areas in the town. It was particularly
bad on the hill near the Hospital and
the High School..A fire engine would
give much better protection than the
ratepayers now had •as the water pres-
sure could be raised so that all parts
of the town would be most thorough-
ly protected. He quoted an editorial
from .the Southampton paper which
said that the engine- paid for itself in
the property it saved on one fire that
threatened to destroy •m ny buildings.
Reeve J. W. McKibbon spoke of
the • outstanding taxes and said they
were not considered when striking
the rate. He said the amount of out-
standing taxes was not excessive and
Council was makitug a determined ef-
fort to collect these without being too
hard on :those in arrears. He estimat-
ed the cost of relief by the end of
the year would be $2000. The Reeve
has been chairman of the Cemetery
Committee for years and they had
tried to improve this property grat
ually so that it would be dose to be
ing self-sustaining. He felt that th
cemetery work would be better ru
by a commission and he felt that th
proper men would be willing to ac
without remuneration.
Commissioner A. J. Walker, wh
was re-elected to the Utilities Corr
mission by acclamation, had serve

thework very congenial. The water-
works department has '700 consirm-
e+rs. There were three users wlio
were large accounts, ' the Town, the,
C.N.R. and the`'water power for the
dam. Of a total revenue of $9000 it
cost but $1400 to administer, which
he considered very reasonable, The
Hydro Department had about $86,000
of revenue and '$35,000 debenture
debt. Allwprlc done by the cammis-
sion had been paid for. Thusit was
necessary to expend $1400 for repairs
and this was paid for and did not af-
fect rates as money, is continually set
aside for this purpose. Hespoke of
the automatic pumps and said they
were necessary, During this last sum-
mer which had been very dry they
operated almost continually.
Coun. Gilmour stated he had en-
deavored in the past two years to be
as economical as possible but Coun-
cil did not shirk necessary work. He
advocated a wood pile, for transients.
In this way they would have to work
for the meals supplied. He thought
this would cut down the number of
transients who carne to town. The
street committee of which he is a
member kept the streets in good con-
dition but he was notin favor of us-
ing calcium chloride as -a dust layer.
He said that all the money spent by
the council was for necessary expen-
ditures.
Mr. Dan Geddes said that several
had requested him to run for. Coun
