Things are very quiet this year in municipal affairs and the 1928 coun­ cil 'will very likely return by allclam- ation. Everything in the village is in good 'shape this year and as the Reeve and council have proved very capable their is no demand for an election. As the Reeve has already fought two elections and has only held the seat 10 months it would only be a spirit of fair play to re­ turn him this year by acclamation.
