(Continued from Page One.)
Councillor G. H. Smith stated that
he would not be iq the field as a can-
didate for reeve, but would stand for
re-election to the council. He did not
care for the job, but wished to be in a
position to do something for the town.
He had no apology to offo.. for the
course he had takn, With the infor-
mation he had at the time, he could
not do otherwise.
Robt. Thompson and W. E. Hender-
son each spoke briefly, stating that
they would be in the field as candi-
dates for the council. Henderson, as
chairman of the Roads and Bridge
Committee, stated that practically all
the gravelling Which' had been done
on the streets. would be paid for by
the countyH. R. McQuillin was nominated for
both reeve and councillor- Be said
• that he Would not accept nomination
for reeve, but if there Was an election
he likely would be in the race.
Mr. W. R. MacDonald said that he
had been urged to stand -for councillor
and if there should -be an election he
would allow his name on the ballot.
He had some rather hard criticism for
the council.of 1919, but said that on
the whole they had done very well.
He had no use for the by -la* propos-
ing to buy the electric light plant, and
had opposed it oeenly. As a business
proposition he thought it bad, but the
ratepayers haying approved of it, he
thought that the council should have
put it into effect, Mr. MacDonald
questioned if the council had the
power to pay out $1,050 of 'the peo-
ple's money without cOnsulting the
ratepayers. If they couldpay out.
that much they could pay out any
sum. However, the thing was over,
and thereewas no use in crying over
Med milt.
,. Winston afterwards stated that
'ler for die village had ad -
lit. council had fell auth.

Mr. •Wm. Con'nell, though not a
nominee for any office, here made a
statement explaining how he and
Messrs. R. D. Cameronand D. R. Mac-
intosh, had carried on negotiations.
*A10 resulted in the settlement'
the trouble over the lighting plant.
out of court. He thought that the
settlement was a very fair one to both
parties. The committee had found
both parties very reasonable, and he
did not think that the council should
be adversely critised for the settle-
ment.
Mr. R. Mullin was nominated for
councillor. He said he would not say
just then what he would do.
- Mr. H. McIntosh said that he Would
not be a candidate At the time, but
as a new comer, he intended takrng
an interest in town affairs, and might
be available some other time.
Mr. John Ackert saw plenty of good
mateeial in the field. He was not an-
xious for office,and would not be a
candidate. He thought it would be
well to have Reeve Johnston in office
for a year or two longer, as from
what he had heard i we .might then
have our reeve warden of the county.
The ladies who had been nominated
as school trustees wore called upon
but none of them took advantage of
the offer.
