uncontrollable expenditures such as
Mothers’ Allowances, Old Age Pen
sions, Hospitals, Criminal Justice,
The Mothers’ Allowances cost the
county this year $18,500 against $14,-
54? last year. This increase was due
to mothers with one child being giv-
! en pensions. 105 mothers receive
pensions. Old Age Pensions cost
$*17,000. In 1934 $15,615. There are
827 receiving pensions. Hospitals
cost $20,430, last year $19,220. Crim-
| inal Justice post $19,000, last year
$15,316, This increase was duejto the
Huggard, Macl.
' cases.
j The rate was 5V2 mills. $29,000 of
' debentures has
snow plow purchased and the over
draft on the year was abdut $4000. A

Finlay McCallum
Mr. McCallum stated he had been a
Councillor for five years, had given
the best possible service that he
could. Later when he was called on
nomination for Council he stated he
I would stand for the Reeveship. Most
■ brushing had been done in his part
of the township. The 3rd was levell
ed and the 4th was given a good coat
of gravel. He considered a 4-yard
| truck too heavy for the roads. He felt

1 dogs pretty well cleaned up now as
the dogs that were doing it were pret
ty well killed off.
Edward Bryans
Mr. Bryans spoke in 'high terms
of the late Coun. Brown and also Mr.
Miller who, due to illness, had to re
linquish the office of road superin
tendent. Same amount of uncollect
ed taxes this year as last. Council
must collect the taxes. 1 he taxes
must be secured but he had tried to
keep the mill rate down. More spent
on road 7 each year because crusher
had not been there to be used. The
work was done by teams. Crushed
gravel, he thought, should be finer
and the centre sideroad should be
made a good road from one end to
the other. Council being in 5 years
ection. Every year since thaf time
Reeve Cardiff and the. Council, Ed
ward Bryans, Francis Duncan, Finlay
McCallum, John Brown, received ac
clamations. It is said that far a Reeve
and Council to be elected by acclama
tion for so many terms constitutes a
record. Coun. Brown died during this
year and his place was taken by Jas. 1
Phelan who was also elected by ac- ’
clamation. [
This year is a different story, how-)
ever, Reeve Cardiff will be opposed 1
by Councillor Finlay McCallum and
seven have qualified for the four seats
on the council board.

will do what’s fair and honest and
handle expenditures to best possible
advantage.
Robert Wallace
Mr. Wallace said he had decided
to let bis name go before the people.
Whether elected or defeated will work
in interests of the township.
W. Joseph Henderson
In 34 .years, Mr. Henderson said, he
had missed but one nomination meet
ing. Was defeated 5 years ago but
took defeat gracefully, Had been
nominated 'for the last four years.
He spoke of the different happenings
during the year, the Throne crisis and
the possibility of a world war which
all hoped would be avoided. He pro
mised if elected will give the very
best that is in him in the interest of
the township and will treat all alike.
' He considered County Council ap-
ance had been very little. Ratepayers
have done the work and this cost no
thing. 'The council had had a good
start with much heavy work done be
fore they took office, he said. ,
Cecil Wheeler
Mr. Wheeler stated he would stand
for the council and would do his very
best if elected. He complimented the
old council and the ratepayers for
their co-operation one with the other
during the past few years.
Elston Cardiff
In his reply, Mr. Cardiff thanked
all the speakers for their kindness. He
said no one should say Mr. McCallum
caused the election. If his opponent
is elected he will be the first to con
gratulate him. He spoke Of the death
of the late Coun. Brown during the
year and in glowing terms praised
him for his work on the council.
He was asked if it was right to
hold back ?,■ of the school grant. Mr.
Cardiff explained any school could
get their grant by asking for it, butj
it was held back as taxes do not come
in on December 15th the way they
did years ago.
He explained the penalty on taxes
and said a few drain-troubles have
been settled satisfactory during the
last year. He agreed that chartered
accountants for auditors would be a
fine thing.
Ex-Reeve Wm. Elston (1920-21)
gave a short talk and said he was
pleased to see council had cut the
mill rate.
Ex-Reeve R. Shortreed, (1924-25-
26) stated he was pleased so many
out. He spokt?*in high terms of Mr.
T. Miller, the former road superin
tendent.
Mr. Richard Johnston, a former
councillor suggested that council could
save money by pulling brushes along
side roads out in the spring. The large
number attending the meeting showed
that'much interest was being taken
in municipal affairs.
Mr. Abram Procter as ex-councillor
stated he was glad to see so .many
young faces. These young men -fill
the gaps of those who pass on. If
they do this they will do well.
Mr, W. J. Johnston ajso ex-coun
cillor noted many changes in the last
25 years. He had lived in the West
20 years and out there councilors are
elected for two years, but the Reeve
for one, only, He was sure with such
a fine lot of candidates it would be
a good council next year.'
Clerk Alex McEwen was called on
for a few words, and he gave a hum
orous talk and also vowed his con
fidence in the youth of to-day. He
told of the old days in a most i'rfter-
esting manner.
A motion that was carried with the.
approval of all, was moved by R
Shortreed and 'E. Cardiff as follows:
That this meeting instruct the cleric
to write Mr. Thos. Miller thanking
him for preparing the charts of the
Reeves of Township and a descrip
tion of the Township which he had
presented and which now hang in the
Township hall. Ais'o to express ap
preciation of his faithful sc'rvices as
road superintendent.

Reeve Cardiff
Reeve Cardiff thanked the Council
far their assistance during the five
years he has been Reeve. He also
thanked the electors far the acclama
tions given himself and' the Council
far the past five years,
When he first became Reeve fa
1932 there was a surplus of $7000 and
the mill rate was 6 mills. Birst year
he was- Reeve it was reduced to 5
mills, second year 4 milts; next
3 mills and thejlast year 2 mills,
surplus this year is only $200
than last yeat
surplus and said there was no use in
! having a large balance in the bank
{ when no interest was paid oh it. “He
. also felt that a yearly depreciation
should be put on the equipment such
as the crusher which had stood as
an asset of $3700 for some years. Pie
said the money that was in the sur
plus could be better used in cutting
the bushes off the side of the roadsjS
as this would cost much more if left $
to the future. Prices will go up and
now is the time to get work done.
He said the County Engineer has sug
gested this idea to the county coutt-
cil.
