DATED at Wingham, Ontario, this
21st day of November, A.D. 193G.
J. W. BUSHFIELD,
Wingham, Ontario,
Solicitor for the Committee.
Town Hall, new steps had been built
at the rear entrance. A new fence
had been placed at the Town Park,
half the cost of which was paid by the
U.F.O. The big task for the year had
been organizing and operating the
Arena. The funds for the Arena are
kept in a separate account and at pre
sent there is $200 in this account
which is profit over operating ex
penses, He considered the Arena will
be a. fine asset for the town.
Elmer Wilkinson
Mr, Wilkinson, a new member of
the Council this year, was a member
of the Fire and Cemetery Commit
tees, He thanked the electors for
their confidence in his re-election for
another year by acclamation.
J. H. Crawford
Coun. Crawford stated that he had
been chairman of the Finance Com
mittee for the past two years. The
members of the Council had been very
careful to see that expenditures did
not exceed the estimates. Next year,
he said, there will likely be a reduc-
tion^in the tax rate of 1% or 2 mills.
Tax collections are exceedingly good.
$3000 more, of current taxes have been
collected than last year and also $3000
more back taxes paid up than at this
time last year.
Some have been concerned over the
sinking fund which owns considerable
Border City Bonds, also bonds of
municipalities close to Toronto. These
bonds are now selling at a much bet
ter price. The committee has decided
to hold these bonds and expect things
to work out very satisfactorily.
Thanking the electors for the ac
clamation, he said, he will give the
best service of which he is capable
during the coming year.

The May<
al receiving
fourth ter
to carry
efficiently
He said 1
been worthy members. He spoke of
the passing since the last nomination
of George Spotton, who was chair
man last year; John Helm, who had
for many years been a faithful em
ployee of the town, and Mr. Posliff,
our late l^ublic School Principal, He
reported Mr. A. Sanderson, who has
been very ill, progressing favorably, j
The Mayor stated that $60,000 in
taxes had been collected this year. '
Back taxes amount to $8,000, $3,000
less than were in arrears last year. All
1933 taxes are now paid. He compli
mented the Clerk on the efficient
manner in which he conducts the town
business. So far this year relief has
cost $400 less than the same period
last year. At present only five heads
of families are on relief. $29,000 of
1936 taxes have been collected and the
bank debt is lower. Population of the
town is 2115 an increase of about 100.
The Women’s Institute and the
Council have co-operated in fixing up
the kitchen in the Town Hall, which
is now up-to-date. The auditors, W.
H. French and H. L. Sherbondy, had
given a fine report, he said. He com
plimented the Wingham Citizens'
Band on their fine service to the town.
Optimistic
The Mayor said the depression is
wearing itself out. The factories are
busier and he feels the small towns
arc going to improve.
Unless some unforeseen things hap- ! have been lowered from time to time,
pen he predicts a 2 mill reduction in '
the tax rate for 1937.
The town last year purchased the
Horticultural Park for the Horticul
tural Society for $339. This property
did not pay taxes.
The Bell Telephone had done con
siderable work placing their wires un
derground at the entrance to the
town and he hoped that very soon
the Wires on the main street would
be taken off poles and placed under
ground also.
Reeve Davidson was commended by ,
the Mayor for his efforts in having ; ]oca| commission have $7000 Invested
paving done on Highway No. 4 this ; j.n bonc[Sj ^QOO cash in bank, $2500
year and he hopes for another 5 or | stock inventory and‘accounts
6 miles to be laid next year.
s Wingham, the Mayor said, was
more up-to-date, financially better off
than the majority of neighboring
towns. If the councils of the future
go as carefully as possible for a few
years taxes will be materially reduc- [
ed.
He urged all to boost for Wingham
and make the town a better place in
which to live.
Reeve
1937 will be
fourth term. He
for the acclamation given him. This
year the Reeve was a member of the
Executive, Streets and Cemetery
Committees. As chairman of the lat
ter committee he gave a report of
the work 'accomplished during the
year. Tile balance of Section A had
been levelled and section B also which
has improved the appearance of the
cemetery very, much, Next year the
work of levelling section X will be
undertaken. The windmill has been
replaced with a gasoline pump which
insures a steady supply of water. 50
feet of new fence was installed and
the fence painted an aluminum color.
The money expended at the cemetery
was $2357 and about $2000 of revenue
received, so the amount spent, includ
ing the improvement, was not much
greater than the receipts.
Speaking of County Council mat
ters the Reeve considered 1936 a very
successful year. Expenditures in
some departments were up particular
ly Mothers’ Allowances and Criminal
Justice. The former due to the fact
that mothers with one child do now
receive an allowance. The latter due
to the Huggard ,MacLaren-Fletcher,
Ernest and Robinson cases. The ex
penditures in some departments were
;,as follows: Mothers’ Allowance 1936
)0, last year $14,000; Old Age
Ion, 1936 $17,000, last year $15,-
:^lic number receiving Old Age
is 813 as compared with 715

W. H. Gurney
Since the inception of the Commis
sion here in. 192T; Mr. Gurney has
been a member and during his term
as Mayor, Jhe move was made to get
. Hydro. The use of the local auxiliary
* plant saves Hydro users a great deal
of money. This is the reason rates
i
' The rate was 13 cents before Hydro
then a reduction to 9 cents and has
been gradually reduced until now it
is 3¥s cents' and 1 1|3 cents.
For a few years there has been a
rebate of 10 per cent, which is equal
to $3000 a year. The removal of the
service charge meant a saving of. $3,-
800 also. He predicted within the
next few years we would have the
J lowest rate in- the Georgian Bay dis
trict. The debenture debt when Hy
dro took over was $96,000, it is now
a little over $30,000, he said. The

| At present the Georgian Bay sys-

and from Orillia but it is expected a

] other systems and create surplus pow-
• er,
Rate in the waterworks department
just takes care of the indebtedness.
The manager and those in charge have
anxious moment during the dry spells
as there is only one well to draw
from. The time is coming, he said,
when another, well will have to be
drilled. Mr .Gurney mentioned the
passing .of Mr. I. Walker, who had
been a faithful employee of the Com
mission for a number of years. The
new hydro property on the corner of
John and Josephine Streets when
completed, he said, will make a fine
addition to the town.
Councillor VanWyck
After thanking the electors for the
acclamation for his second term,
Coun. VanWyck said he would do all
in his power to carry on the affairs
of the town efficiently. The Fire
Committee, of which he was chair
man, has purchased 250 feet of new
i hose. New braces had been installed
in the hose tower. He was of the op-,
inion that the fire equipment was very
poor and something should be done
about it. The signal system is not
as satisfactory as it should be, he
said, but improvement will likely be
made next year.
