Flabkirk by Armitage and H. Diamond. Ward 4. Dr. A. W, Irwin by Smith and D. Kennedy. All trustees elected by acclamation. Geo. Williams was nominated in Ward 4 but withdrew. ‘ Mr. J. W. McKibbon, ex-Mayor and ex-'Reeve, was elected chairman of- the meeting. Mayor J. W. Hanna The chairman first called on Mayor Hanna, who said he considered it an honor and a privilege to be Mayor in 1937 and asked support lot re-el­ ection as Mayor for 1938. He and the Council have tried to do their duty and have been fair and honest to the ratepayers. He felt much had been accomplished in 1937 but in 1938 there was also a great deal to be done. Assessment of the town is $1,- 800,000 and the population 2,100 and the taxes for this year amount to $58,- 690. Relief is lower this year $744 as compared with $1518 in 1936. The town’s share of financing the High School is $5700 and for the Public School $7200. The. new heat­ ing plant for the Town Hall cost $3,- 267 and the Mayor informed his aud­ ience that $1,000 of this was paid this year and the .interest on teh balance is at 4%%. Fuel will now cost about $400 per year, before it was $600 a year. The purchase of the fire truck was a good thing for the town Taxes paid by the new Elydro shop to the town are $262 a year, he said. He mentioned that due to the new course of study an addition may have to be built, to the High School at a cost of $20,000, The Government will pay one-half and the County and the town the balance. The town’s share between $5000 and $6000. The resurfacing of Main Street did not cost the town anything, he said. 1938, he Said, is not to be a spend­ ing year. "The lid will be tight next year?* Irwin C. B. T. Y. expressed his pleasure at, so new people coming to town, weeks ago, he said, he intend­ ed to stand for the Mayor had retire but the him that for would like another term, so he would not be in the field for Mayor but he would stand for .the Council. If el­ ected I will work in the interests of the ratepayers, he said. . Dr. R, C. Redmond It was a surprise to be nominnated, the Doctor said, but he was profound­ ly interested in the affairs of the town. The Council, he thought, should not take too much credit for the resurfacing- of the main street as the government would do this quite willingly with an election at hand. The population is now 2100, a few years back he said it was 3000. Boys and girls go to the city for employ­ ment. We have been overlooked un­ til this last few years, he said, with no pavement into town until this year. He advocated the paving of the Lis- towel road to link us with the Tor­ onto markets, Council, he • said, should try and keep the taxes down. The move to take the tax burden off real estate is growing and would be a good thing. He said he would like to see the for­ mation of a building society to build houses so they could be sold, on easy payments. He said he was not in the field for Mayor. Reeve F. L. Davidson This year is the Reeve’s fourth term. He said he was pleased to get pavement into Wingham and this summer 50 Wingham men had had work on this road. A deputation from five counties had been successful in having the Government take over the road from Amberley to Elmira. This road will Be kept open during the winter from Luqjcnow to Elmira and already snow fences are being erect­ ed. This road will .be gravelled and oiled next year and when ready in 3 or 4 years probably paved. The county has gone in for perma­ nent roads, he said. 11 miles of bi­ tuminous surface, 26 feet wide, had been laid this year at a cost of $3200 per mile. This is much better, he said, Taxes in 1936 were 50 mills, this year 49 mills. $1900 paying debent­ ure off this year but it did not affect the rate so much as the general rate did not carry much of it. Last year the High School got $7,- 600 from the county but this year on­ ly $6400 so the 1 mill Government subsidy just about balanced this. Work on roads helped relief ac­ counts, he said. 1936 relief was $4,- 550, this year $2,235. He said he sponsored the motion Mayor, as he thought expressed his wish to Mayor had informed personal reasons he CARD OF THANKS To the Electors: I take this opportunity of expressing my sincere ap­ preciation for my acclama­ tion as Mayor for 1938.

Crawford This year I have been & member of the Executive Committee, Proper­ ty Committee and Chairman of the Rinauce Committee, Mr; Crawford said. The past year has been an ev­ entful one, a great number of things done. There is little change in the financial condition of the town. The towii holds Some defaulting securit­ ies.. $5000 of these were Leaside Bonds: and. in 1982 they Stopped in- forest at 5^"%. But abodt two months ago they paid all affoats of interest to date, about $700, and the To the Electors: 1 respectfully solicit your vote and influence for re-el­ ection as Councillor for 1938. As a member of your counn cil for the. past two years I have endeavoured to work in the Best interests of our town and if re-elected will continue to do so. Sincerely^ WALTER VANWYCK. for the purchase of the fire truck, has’ been tested and found very ficient, Three years ago a section at Cemetery had been levelled and same done last year and this year.’ As a member of the County Home' Committee, he said there were 95 in­ mates, 55 of these men and 25 over the age of 70. 172 applications have been received for Old Age pensions and there are 108 mothers receiving allowances from $15 to $40 a month, depending on the number of children. He will again stand for Reeve, he said. I have tried to look after the interests of the town and will con­ tinue to do so if re-elected. ■* T. R. Bennett Mr. Bennett said he had nothing to find fault with and no axe to grind and he did not know what«he could do that his good friend, Mr. -David­ son, could not do. A good way to encourage building, lie said, would be to give free lots and no taxes to be paid on new build­ ings for two years. This had been tried in some places he knew of with success. More houses are needed, he said. He would like to see the town have a Scotch Mayor and Council for a few years so that the debt of $250,000 would be cut down and taxes lower­ ed. Council had done their best for the past few years, but he would like to see a smaller rate and lower debt. A. J. Walker Mr. Walker thanked the ratepayers for the honor of an acclamation. He hoped he had carried on his duties to their satisfaction for the past two years. Local commissions had little leeway as rules and regulations were set out by the Ontario Hydro Com­ mission at Toronto. Hydro was go­ ing on well here he said. The new Hydro building was erected as the local commission had a surplus which 'had to be invested and it gave a bet­ ter equTpped place to carry on the business. W. H.. Gurney Although not a candidate this year Mr. Gurney was called on by chair­ man. Work is going on satisfactory he said. Had ample supply of water for the people, but had some anxious times in hot weather and when frost was bad. If population doubled it would be necessary to dig a new well. If they got money ahead would like to do it. Hydro here uses 500 horsepower with rural 600. Rates have been re­ duced steadily since Hydro installed. His November bill he said was $11.00 but if figured at old rates before Hy­ dro, would have been $44.50. The’ rate now is 3% and 1.03 as against 10 and 5 of that time. We do not pay too much for Hydro, he said. There is no reserve in the Georgian Bay system to-day but this is being elim­ inated by the new damn in Muskoka which will produce 10,000 horsepow­ er, 2000 of which will be next July. H. T. Thomson As chairman of the Street tee, Mr. Thomson said the ture in this department was $5000 but that with the asset of the tile making equipment, tile on hand, relief, refund, and December credit, all of which amounts to $1784, the actual expenditure vyas $3234.84, just a little over the $3000 estimate. The tile equipment has turned out 1020 tile that had been used on drains in town and some was also sold and on hand there is tile to the value o/ $886.25. Eight or nine streets had been chlorided and scarified, main street resurfaced at no expense.. The sidewalks still on them. He tion. available Commit- expendi- over need some work done will stand for re-elec- . Hetherington As chairman of the Property Com­ mittee Mr. Hetherington explained this this committee looked after the Arena, Town Hall, Fire Hall and the Parks. The schools were looked af­ ter by their own boards. Each year, he said, some work was done in the Town Hall, so that it would not all have to be done at once. He said the new heating equipment was very ef­ ficient. The Arena broke even last year as it did the year before. He explained the tennis courts not being built by town funds from private subscriptions and proceeds from two midways. They will be finished in a few days when good weather in spring comes.- He said he would seek re-election. Walter VanWyck Mr. VanWyck was Chairman of the Fire Committee and he said he sec­ onded the motion for the purchase of the fire truck. This was a good move he said as it was badly heeded for years. He felt those living on the outskirts of the town should have as godd fire protection as others and the mobility of the truck supplied this, The debentures for the fife truck are for 5 years at 3^% a yearly payment of $775. ,Two liundted. feet of hose were purchased, He Is in the field.

Our town should be congratulated on its appearance and the business-like manner it car­ ries on. He will stand for re-election. R. H. Lloyd Mr. Lloyd said he was on the cem­ etery, finance and fire committees and had supported the motion to buy the fire truck and new heating sys­ tem. Prices were going up . so that was the time to be in the market for these things. Piping has since gone up 18% and brass fittings 25%. He considered Council got value for ev­ ery dollar spent.

Burgman Mr. Burgman, Chairman of the- Public School Board, gave a state­ ment of the receipts and expenditure- of this-board to the end of October.. The receipts were $8,965.21 of which $7200 was town levy and $1263.82 Government grant. There was a deb­ it balance of $166.85 but since Oct. 30 grants of $198 have been received for manual training and $182 for household science and the school con­ cert receipts of $208.40.
