Scott as chairman, Reeve Sims was the first speaker and in a masterly and able manner reviewed the municipal business of the peat year. He dealt extensively with the flour mill and showed the electors what a good bargain had been made. Mr, Sims said that the village would have to pay $189 interest each year on the loan for 16 years, amounting in all to 32086. For 10 years of that time the mill would pay $829 school taxes and during the re- maining five years 3128 general taxes, making $752, which, when deducted from $2083, leaved a balance of 31888, which is all the mill cont the village. In another 15 years the mill will have paid for itself and will not owe the vil- lage one dollar, saying nothing about the amount of business it brings to the village. Mr. Sims Raid that Mr, Besse told him only a few days ago the', he wan glad Olathe had come to Blyth and was well satisfied with the milling business be was doing, The reeve also referred to the change made in con- ducting street and constable work and that the change was a money -saver for the village. Last year the village re- ceived $94 from the weigh Reales and this year the amount was 3224. The amount of work done on the streets his year by Chief Barr would have coat the village $150 under the old plan, but ,under the new it cost the village nothing as street work was part of the constable's duties. The salaries for. merle paid the sanitary Inspector, dog tax collector, poll tax collector, etc., were all saved this year by the con- stable performing tie se duties. The reeve covered the ground se fully , in his speech that there wasn't much' left for the other candidates to doss with. All the other candidates who were present at the meeting made short speeches, in which they either stated their desire to stand or retire, Muses.
