RETURNS COUNCIL BY ACCLAMATION (Continued from Page One) estimated at $18,500, an increase of $4,000. This increase was due to ex­ tending the allowance to mothers of one child under 16 years of age. There were 105 receiving this. The Old Age pensions were estimated at $17,000 an increase of $1,150. There are 813 now on pensions. The County Home had cost the county nothing this year. The reduction in the county rate, meant a saving to the township of 6|10 of a mill. The county has now 400 miles of roads, an increase of 80 miles lit the last two years. Mr. Wright asked regarding the Debenture Debt as he was of the op­ inion the annual payment should be about $13000. Isaac J. Wright He asked that he be allowed to re­ years. It is reported that the cabinet is considering methods of relieving the worst of the distressed areas, fol­ lowing tour of the young monarch. ply at the close should a few items not be cleared up and he would not like to criticize at the present. He wanted to know of the Reeve how much extra it would cost to keep the county roads open during the winter. Could it be done on 1 2(10 -mills? This is something the ratepayers should know, he said. He dealt with the matters of a change in school assessment in re­ gards to Wroxeter Continuation and Wingham High Schools. He stated the township would now pay accord­ ing to the number of scholars attend­ ing these schools. He stated lie would not oppose Mr. Wilton should be choose to step up to Reeve as he had been a faithful Councillor when he was Reeve. Richard Wilton tic stated he would not stand for Reeve although lie appreciated the honor of having the nomination and thanked Mr. Grain and Mr. Wright for their kind gestures. James Breckenridge He took pleasure in serving the township and always tried to do the fair thing although he had been sev­ erely criticized at times. He said this was the first year of using crushed gravel and trucks and it was a sav­ ing over previous method. A bet­ ter grade of gravel was also secured. He would be in the field for coun­ cil and there would be hard feelings should he no tbe elected in case of election. *’ He was asked the difference in cost between pit run gravel and crusher. He said that crushed gravel was ap­ proximately 7c. cheaper. Richard Wilton He said you (.an do a lot of work and try to save money but you re­ ceive criticism, but he believed that money had not been thrown away. Gravelling had to be done this year and it was done the cheapest way, and as a whole he thought the rate­ payers appreciated it. He had thought of retiring this year but had decided to be in the field for the Council again this year. Harold Moffatt He had served the township for the past three years and he appreciated the honor, This year a new policy in regards to the roads had been in­ augurated and lie was satisfied with the results. He gave an itemized statement of the cost of gravel on the different beats. The Show roads last year cost more owing to the ex­ treme winter, but that relief was con­ siderably less. It was his intention to again stand for the Council. Roy Porter He was in favor of early elections and he noted that more were present at this year’s nominations. He also was in favor of the system used on the roads this year as he washout to give the ratepayers value for their money. If elected again this year he would move for the securing of a scarifier for some of the township roads. The increase in school rates was necessary on account of the dif­ ference in grants. He would again stand for re-elec­ tion. James Ed. Baird He was going to give his opinion, not criticize. He said men elected should follow the laws of the Domin­ ion, A few years ago a vote -was tak­ en to keep road work on with statute labor. This year they have gone against this decision. They say it was cheaper putting on gravel this year the way they were doing it. He was of the opinion that even if the old way cost more, it was giving the farmer more to pay the increase with, where as if trucks were used a por­ tion of the money leaves the town­ ship. The ratepayers on the county roads were opposed to this as they never received their share of the work. A humorous discussion ensued re­ garding the gravel question. He said that should there be an el­ ection he would be in the field. G. N. Underwood He appreciated the nomination for Council but as tbe old council were standing and they were serving the people well he would not stand. In his opinion the trucks were taking the place of teams in an efficient manner. Wm. Austin He said that with some of the hills in the township he knew of two teams that could cnly draw 16 loads of grav­ el a day between them, and the rate­ payers could figure it out what this cost, If there was an -election he might as well share in the fun, but he thought the council were doing their best and it should be an accla­ mation. Roland Grain In regards o the question of Mr. Wright about snow roads, he said that other expenditures had been curtailed to look after this. He was in favor of scarifying some of the roads and he thought suitable machinery could be'rented from near­ by townships, As Mr. Wilton was not in the field he would remain as Reeve should it be the decision of the ratepayers. • Isaac Wright Not a word about the financial con­ dition of the township had been giv­ en, he said, and this should have been dealt with. He had been criticized in regards to law costs, but in the past 3 years it had cost more for insurance than for law costs and damages in the 7 years he had been Reeve. We have heard a great deal about gravelling by truck and teams, he said, but all jobs should be advertised and if con­ tracts had been asked for he felt sure that the price would have been about 40c, Tn discussing the Greenway Drain and gravelling ,many interruptions were made so that, it was practically impossible for Mr. Wright to continue and the chairman had to ask for a fair hearing. He was in favor of renting a grad­ er if possible and if not then to pur­ chase a light one. He felt the town­ ship should look ahead and plan for years to come, a certain amount of permanent improvements should be made each year. .Tn regards to Mr. Baird’s statement he said that at former election a Maitland Creamery ■■ B■ H Buyers Of Cream, Eggs and Poultry THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED.

Phone 271 HIS BACKACHE was unbearable: Kruschen Brought Him Relief from A Pain This man of 31 was prematurely ag­ ed by backache, when he Should have been enjoying the best years of his life. Here he tells how Kruschen helped to restore him to health, after months of pain:— ”1 was in hospital for two weeks, owing to kidney trouble. When J was discharged 1 felt like an old man, al­ though I am only 31. If I stooped to do anything it was agony to straighten up again. Several people advised me to try Kruschen Salts. I tried them and found they gave me relief from pain and I ‘felt better in every way, I cycle 28 miles a day to and from work and shall keep up the daily dose of Kruschen because 1 can now do the journey to and from work and not feel any the worse for it.”—— s.v.c. When the internal organs cease to do their work properly, impurities be­ gin to accumulate in the system, and cause troublesome symptoms. Kru­ schen Salts help to stimulate the liver and excretory organs to healthy, reg­ ular activity, and thus asisst them to rid the system of harmful impurities.

Wright’s assertion regarding the en­ gineer on the Greenway Drain and said the present engineer is a fully qualified engineer and after a discus­ sion by council it was decided to bring in an engineer who had never prev­ iously been employed by the town­ ship. r Financial Report £ The Treasurer, Benson Cruikshank, was called to give the financial stand­ ing of the township, and took the blame for a misunderstanding at last nomination regarding the balance that should have materialized at the end of last year, stating that this had. been wiped out owing, to unforeseen expenditures. He stated the township was in good financial standing and that a small surplus is expected this- year. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Cruikshank for his report and clear­ ing up the misunderstanding of last year. Mr. Wright said that on account ' of Mr. Grain absence from the town­ ship attending county council he would not canvas the ratepayers should he decide to run. Mr. Grain thanked him for this courtesy. A few remarks were offered by ex­ Reeve W. J. Henderson of Morris Twp., Coun. D. I.. Weir of Howick and Coun. R. Elliott of Huron Twp. A vote of thanks was tendered the chairman and the meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem.
