he had succeeded in getting the position N

speaker Bald he did not want a job; Isis X

109 a.
Mr. bluunings was claiming credit in
connection with the.,O. W. 8. But Mr.
Mnunings was one of the open ill the
council when the O. W. 8. deal was put IN
through. and afterwards he had employ -
ed V. M. Roberts, the engineer on the
O. W. S. who was charged with issuing
false certificates. as engineer on tl�e
Bayfield road sewer, when he hail
dumped the water on Nattel's farm.
The attempt to construct a sewer on N
Victoria street iu winter -time also was
referpd to.
In conclusion Mr. Wigle said he was 1.
u candidate for mayor, and it elected lie

N
Mr... Alex. Saunders said he could not La
spare the time for the duties of the j.
mayoralty, although. he would appreciate ! to
the honor. He favored the re-election of
the old council, thus saving expense and X
avoiding the acrimony of a contest. He tw
thought the man who had given his ser-
vices to the town for a year should be X
praised, not reproved. To Mr. !stun -
the town for securing the National Ship- X
building Co., which he hoped would soon
be using both its plants.
Mr. Saunders was going on. although I N
'his time was up, when a large number of
those in the audience interrupted by shuf-• X
fling their feet. and after making one or
two attempts to continue he found he
could make no headway against the raise
and took his seat.
'Reeve Nairn, the next speaker. said he
had already stated that it was nut his in=
tention to be a candidate. as he had-
made
admade arrangements for the coming year ag
N
which would interfere with his giving his
services to the town. He had taken great N
interest in the murk of the cuunt'il and
was sorry he could not be a member
again next year. At some futurg time he X
might again be in a position to serve the X
town.
At this juncture Mayor Nlunnings took 11�
his five minutes forreply. With regard to
Mr. Wigle's criticism of the voting of the
$1.(J(10 to Mr. Baechler, His Worship said 1i
he had not voted on the matter at all: a 1
Was passed by the council. He denied
having used his influence in behalf of Mr. ; 1111
Macre; on the other hand, he had incur- N
red the instill of Air. Moore by his course _
in the matter of tete Doty .plant. With X
regard to the Victoria street' sewer. the X
engineer had estimated the excavating to
cost &'2 a foot. but so far it had cost only .1i
as
51.8(0 a foot. The work had been delayed N
by red tape and by the hesitation of the
council owing to lack of funds; but the MI
first part of the sewer had cost more IN
than the last part, in spite of the bad
weather. owing to
the fact that the frost 101
did away with the need for curbing to
prevent breaking; in. Mr. Wigle had us
criticized the - hnancing of the town; it XI
was all right to be a financier. "when you
can make &:lout of fifteen cents' worth ix
of peanuts."
Mr. Munnings declared that Engineer 1
Roberts did not get ahead of the toon
n wX
when Ise as engaged as inspector u(
sewer construction; but the contractor N
had got 3e.000'out of the Bank of Com•
rtlerce. • I IIA
"1 have protected the town in every N
way I could," declared the speaker, "and
the foundation of Mr. Wigle's remarks- ](
• is very poor " •
Mr. J. C. Laithwaite discussed the
financial situation in characteristic fash-
ion. Every account had been scrutinized
and there a'as no "shinanagin'." The in-
crease of one mill in.the tax rate this year
was due to the increased county rate. and
this was due to the large grants made by
the county to the several patriotic funds.
totalling $1139,(X)0 last year. The Baech-
ler bylaw was the best bylaw the town
had ever put through. Mr. 13aechler,had
to show the valuation or he would not
have got the money. •
Tax Collector Campell had remarked a
pew days before that he had never sold a
man out for taxes -but he should have
done so.
Mr. Laithwaite said he would like to be
Reeve for nett year. Ile thanked the
electors for their kindness in returning
him for thirteen years. He had lots of
time and liked ''the fun all right. He
wished them a good year, so they would
be able to pay their taxes. and, shaking
his forefinger at the crowd, he -said,
"Mind, some of you fellows will have to
toe -the mark or the screws will be put
on."
Mr. J. J. Moser said he did not like
Mr. Wigle's criticisms. The coemcil had
been economical. As chairman of the
public works committee he had done his
utmost to carry forward the work en-
trusted to him. He spoke of the Victoria
street sewer and the difficulties that had
to be met in constructing It. They had,
however. saved several hundred dollars
on excavation in comparison with the
estimate. Men could not be got earlier
in the year to build the sewer. Another
achievement of Mr. Moser's department
was the introduction of tarsia, which had
h ought about a reduction in the cost of
water supply and wag making a good
road. Mr. Moser said he would stand
for election as Deputy Reeve. He be-
lieved he had not misted a meeting of the
council and if elected he would work for
the town as he had been doing.
Commissioner Murney spoke briefls,
and the chairman made a few remarks on
the financial statement and then called on
Mr. F. A. Elliott, nominee for water
and light commissioner. Mr. ELiott said
nobody Netter than Mr. Chrystal could
be found for the positicm, but if Mr.
Chrystal did not stand he would. He
claimed the commissioner should be a
mechanical man.
Messrs. Story and Wilson, members of
the 1917 council, spoke briefly. The lat-
ter. who is chairman of the fire commit-
tee. mid he thought 141(0 was almost too
small a sum for the yearly pay of the fire
brigade.
The other nominees were all called, but
were not, present, and the meeting con•
eluded at about 10.30 o'clock.
