Crawford was first to address the meeting, He stated that he had announced some weeks ago that he would not be a candidate. He expressed the opinion that the past year had been a successful one al- though nothing outstanding, Wingham has,, done well on every Victory Loan oversubscribing on each ocemion. He spoke of the great suc- cess of the Horse Shaw and said credit was due the energetic 'committee who looked after it. He announced that the road into town frpm the south would be paved in the spring completing this strip of pavement in that direction, He also said that the other highways out, of Wingham were definitely on 'the slate for post-war work. I have completed 10 years on the council, five of which I was mayor, he said ,and and have been pleased to have served the town over these years. He said the tax rate was the same as when he started. Speaking of de- benture debts he said in 1933 they amounted to $148,184.86; in 1938 they were $87,679,77 and this year only $10,854.55, a reduction, of $138,000 since 1938. There is an overdraft at the bank that will have to be taken care of, When this is done he said there will be a substantial reduction in rates. I appreciated working with the =Miters of the council and in five years as mayor have had no friction and all co-operated in the best inter- ests of the town. He expressed his' appreciation to the citizens for their generous support and for the acclamations afforded him, He extended the wish that. the new coun- cil might have- every success. R. H, Lloyd The Cemetery Permanent Care Fund has now 'grown to about $18,000 Councillor Lloyd said, and it is hoped that in the near future the interest from this fund will keep the cemetery going without the aid of taxes, He was chairman of the cemetery com- mittee. $2200 has been expended at the cemetery during the year. Level- ling has been carried on the section away frOna the road. 350 yards of gravel have been used on this section and a similar amount will be required to complete it. .He recommended that a new road be opened. I will not be a candidate for mayor but I will seek a place an the council for another year. Fred L. Davidson This past year we have had a splendid working council, stated Mr. Davidson, The regular work was car- ried on but no new work as labor and material was not available. I had hoped Mayor Crawford would act again but he could not be. persuaded. The council will miss his services Mr. Davidson said. During the past year I have been chairman of the street committee. This committee spent $4300, The snow plowing last season cast -.$00$ due to heavy winter weather, Some years this expenditure was about $300, The roads were spread with calcium chloride, side walks repaired, also some work done on drains and sewers. The roads got rough but the gravel was 'contracted for in June only today, he said, did they start to put it on the roads. I will endeavour as mayor to do the very best for the town, Mr. Davidson said some world- • work in the• county. The town be reported, has a credit on roads of about $4,000 in Goderich which can be used when council decides the ' thuHee l'eslo4spe7bor yp ei4:ePr:essing .apPrea- ation• of receiving an acclamation. A. J, Walker I have been A. commissioner for 12 years, Mr. Walker stated. The Com, mission is composed of two members who are elected and the mayor by virtue of his office, I have sat under three mayors, Crawford and Hann& five years ..each and two with the late- Mayor Willis. He gave a history of Hydro since its inception here in 1920. The rate then was 12c per kwh and it is now 3,2c per kwh. for the first 100 and 1.1g for the balance, and a. discount of 10%. All lines have been. rebuilt also the power house. Street lights were installed at a cost of $11,- 500 which will be paid back to the hydro through the rate charge. The- rate was formerly $30 per light for 45 lights and the new system is $46, per light for 37 lights. 'The Canada. Packers were supplied with 75 ,horse power at a cost of $1100 for which they pay $1.00 per 4iorsepower sur- charge. So that this will also come back. IIe said the assets of the Hydro (Continued on page seven) nurses. Oxford county had this .sys, tens an d it was reported to work It was left over to the January ses, sion. A. new bridge was under, construc- tion in Grey (the Cunningham bridge), It will cast $17.000, The roads will. be kept open this winter it at all pos- sible, A new tractor plow and truck have been purchased.. He said that over $1,000,000 was needed for bridge (911=9) 114 cents a word per insertion, with a minimum charge of 25c, pred why there was no reduction in, taxes this year when $1509 debenture debt came off, He explained that the schools required more funds which took this up. Speaking of ddbenture debt he said the town would be free of debt in 1952 if no new debts were created, J. J. Evans I feel I am getting off pretty easy receiving an acclamation for reeve,. Mr. Evans said, He confined his re- marks mostly to the county council matters. As chairman of the local Welfare committee he said this was the 'Ink year for a long time as $308.- 52 was spent on relief and the town received in refund $243.01 so that the actual cost to the ratepayers was $65.- 51, He told of the difficulty getting to the county council meeting last January when he left Tuesday noon arriving in Goderich Thursday noon. Reeve Tuckey of Exeter was elected warden as chosen. y the liberal caucus and • next year the Progressive Con- servatives will have their turn. He said the people of this county had invested $16,500,000 in the vari- ous Victory Loans and had given to various war efforts $2,000,000. He told of a delegation that requested that School Nurses be appointed by the county. This would require four
