NOMINATION MEETING
Large Attendance a,nd Good Discussion ,of Town
Affairs. -Four Women Named for
School Board
e .
'At the time of writing this we can-
not tell whether Or' net there. ysill be
am election - -fit Lueknow. -Thit "the
nfeitiiii-Molidailivii.ilitg 'was one of,
the 'beat noniination meetings we have
had for a number - -of years. About
half of the electors of the village
were present and there. was excellent
...see...order, and -attention - .tferoughout.,
, .
Throughout"theeyeareaskeen interest
has been_taken in_town.,affairs_ owing
ee. - to the trouble over the-eleetric fight
plant, and- the general -Increase in
running expenses. It was felt that a
thorough explanation was due 'from
• the j.. ,,, ,.(nd councillors, and there
too, that thcrs would ,
be some hot shet from the ratepay• s
ers or front prospective candidittes.
'This accounted for the large 'attend-
ance at the meeting.
Nominations for the reeveship
were: R. Johnston, Wm. Murdie, G.
It Smith, H. McQuitlin.
For cbuncillors the following nomi-
nations were made: W. Murdie, G. H.
• Smith, R. Thomlison, W. E. Hender-
eon. These -were councillors for 1919,
and we may say here. that all feur
. seeess Announced tbemselvehTin: the field- ter
--lee- re-eleetione- Besides the old- council
there were nominated: John Ackert,
• ,s. .
W. R. MacDonald, ft Macintosh, H.
• McQuillin, R. Mullin and D. Sherriff.
Fellowing the nominations Reeve
Johnston in a speech which lasted a-
• ' bout an:hour, 'gave a very complete
review of the work of the council
throughout the past year, covering.
. the ground so .well that there was
little for theseouncillorS who followed'
•to say. ..fle referred 4rst to the work
of the county council.
Mr. Johnston explained that the
road east and west of Lucknow
(which is part of the county good
readslisystem) was not kept in repair
owing to the actioneof•Huron County
ncil which had failed to decide as
to 'ch section it would take charge.
This 8 i cutty had been overcome,
and the oad to Wingham would in all
"likelihood be put in good. condition
--",--- *next' summer. The county had ex-
pended $120,006 on the roads during
ea
". the year, gut of this the province
would pay one-half.. The section of
e read built • between Kincardine -and
Tiverton had cost $37,000, and it was
4P1 *estimated that putting in this 'class of
• road would cost about $6,003 pet'
"mile. •
. The controversy •over the electric
light plant between the village and
, Mr. Stewart came in for a very thort
. ough explanation, but much of this
Inform-ation given 1ik already ap-
peared in.The Sentinel, and is pretty
sbibes,-e-s--.7:-essee"tvn. The whole trouble is
now passed and settled. • Mr. John-
ston explained how the settlement
had been effected through the volun-
tary. intervention of a committee, of
three citizens. •
.
It had been asked 'what the corpora-
.
• tion had for the $1,050 paid to Mr.
Stewart. The principal thing is that
we are rid of the plant for all time.
wilati Mr. Stewart seen fit to keep on
Trunnipg the plant until 'Hydro power
wastaken the town would have had to
take it off, his hands, and this could
not be done without loss. Besides,
he yanking this settlement, the coats
ol• a law suit were avoided, and' these
would not have been much below $600.
He had heard- ' it said that ' the
councillors had, been instrumental, in
leeping certain names off the, voters'
list used in voting on the purchase by-

this $18,000 it Was pointed out that
this' would be paid, not by the rate-
payers, but by the. users ofcurrent
only. The charge for current will be
such that it will meet the annual
rnents. The town .will pay for the
street lights, oztly, , and there w T1 be
60 lights on .the streets at an annual,
cost little sibeet:e what we paid for.12
formerly.
Mr. Johnston esuggested that if
there were any Who Osought of mov-
ing away from Lucknow•because of
high taxes,. they- ought to call-til
some of the neighboring towns and.
find out what • their rates are. • lc
.would be difficult to find one in better
financial condition than Lucknow.

there 'are. assets antotiesting to $5,000.

speaker. , He agreed substantially
with aH the reeve had said, and the
year's business had been so thorough.-

that with regard to .the purchase (If
the light' plant, the council was up
against a hard proposit•on, And they
eertainly had 'an intei•esting time: But
he stood just where his-tittiii yern• ago,

done. • He'waervery strongly in favor
.4 the municipal shed, , and thqught,
tit nething better could he "dime for
the town. Farmers, he said, colild- do
without the village nierchhnt rnuh
better than the merchantean dotwith-
out the farmer. Doubtless the towfr
is losing business becanse of the,leek
of shed accommodation, and 1•esidents

The -editor shOuld 'certainly brush. up
a little on the political history Of the
province. ' Local option in taxation
has been part of the policy of the Lib-
eral party, for a long, time. It ,,was
advocated by the party under lioneA.

writer had the honor of- a seat in"the
legislature we divided the house, • as
the rederds will show on different oc-
