Hanna, M.P.P., was chairman And oiled on the following speakers: Fred L. Davidson The year has been a very successful ...ene for the town, with the new hospital being completed, the hail painted. The kousing situation has been difficult and with this in view the Council had tried to secure buildings at Port Albert, to be moved and erected in town, but these were not available. We investi- gated the plans for Wartime Houses, and asked for applications. Up to the present only 15 have filled in the form. This falls far short of the necessary number requited. One of the problems this year was the nature of recognition to our re- turned men, of which there are nearly 300. The council decided on giving a grant. of $4,000 to the Legion to com- plete their hall, $2,000 this year and balance next year, Good roads have been built this year out of Wingham, the road to Teeswater and the road to Bluevale, which will be completed to Harriston, and are en- . deavouring to have the Listowel road done, Our Street Committee had the Diagonal Road and VietOria St. resin-- faced, and the Dept. of Highways had taken over the streets that were eon-- neeting links of highways, With a school grant of 50% it was still necessary to leave the tax rate at 50 mills, owing to other higher costs. The overdraft at the bank had been re- dgeed by $2,000. • It was not his intention to seek re- election as Mayor, Joseph J. Evans He gave a resume of the January, June and November meetings of the. County Council, He had served as Chairman of the Executive Committee and was a member of the Warden's and Equalization Committee. This year 15 miles of roads had been built at a cost of $6688, The County rate had been set at 5 mills. The cost of rations in the gaol were 19'/ac per day. A by-law had been approved prohibit- ing cutting of trees less'than 5 inches for cedar and 12 inches for other trees. He intended to seek election for Mayor. Duncan Kennedy Lip until a couple of weeks ago, he said, he had no intention of standing for Mayor, but since friends had been after him he was now undecided, He had been chairman of the Cemetery Committee, and the Cemetery is well kept up, a large number of lots had been sold, and at present there is a total of $22,000 in the permanent care fund, • If he stood for either ,Mayor or the council he was in favor of doing some- thing about the large factory on Alfred St. which employed only about 11 men. He believed the assessment should be raised unless they would employ from 50 to 75, The housing shortage was acute and building material in short supply. He had built two houses this year and planned on building four or five next year. Murray Johnson He had been chairman of the Prop- erty Committee and it had been a busy year, the town hall had been painted and two rooms on the main floor had been renovated, His name would be before the electors for Reeve. R. H. Lloyd He had been chairman of the Fire Committee, the salaries of the men had been raised from $32. to $40. Thirteen runs out of town had been made, and mentioned the good work done by the firemen at Brussels. The income from these calls was $525. The room down stairs had been -va- cated by the firemen and they now had no place to meet. It was proposed to build a new building adjacent to the fire hall and have it heated. Ow- ing to shortage of materials it had been left over. As far as he knew he would be dropping out of the council. Jack Reavie For the past year he had been Street Committee chairman, and said that the removal of snow was cheaper and fast- er by truck, and the work of-this com- mittee was supervised by Chief Consta- ble Platt. East Wawanosh grader had been used on the streets, street signs had been erected, and a new mower had been purchased to cut weeds and grass. Sidewalks had been repaired but owing to the difficulty of securing cement the last job had to left unfinished. The contract for snowplowing had been let at $3.00 per hour. He. -enjoyed the work on the council but owing to pres- sure of his own business he felt he was unable to give sufficient time to this work. Ronald Rae The first year on the council is not a heavy one, the older members guide you, and he was standing 'for melee- tion. He believed young men should stand for office. His main job had been chairman of the Band Committee and with the assistance of the new Recreational Director that this would show improvement. John P. Mckibbon His main work had been on the Wel- fare committee. We have a smart town, be said, and complimented May- or Davidson on his work, and said the council had worked in harmony. Af- ter study of the Wartime Housing he was glad it.went under, steady growth is better. The town will benefit great- ly by having a Recreational Director who will coordinate the different org- anizations of the town. Our objective should be to boost ,Wingham, this can be done only cooperation. His name would be on the ballott. Tory Gregg Being a newcomer he felt he was too new a man to seek office. Fred Spry He said he lied no intention of run- ning, As relates to their industry they have been giving considerable consid- eration to housing. In their plant there were openings for 25 to 30 men if they could be secured and housing arrang- ed. If there was anything he could do for the town he would be happy to do ' W, Tiffin Technically he didn't believe he could qualify and anyway he would not be a candidate. Robin, dampbell De was ht. favour of a clean and law abiding town, and would like to see more industries, If his name was on the ;ballot asked support. ' Northart Rinteul The present council he thought had done a good lob, but possibly theta Would be an tlectiion, if so he might - possibly stand for council. Jack 't ateson lack ilateSOti said his time itir the he'd would be taken up and At tagtht be WOW not qttaTifY4 intention of qualifying. U. gurney • His hobby, -he said, had been hydro, and -this was his twenty-fifth appear- ance -as a commissioner. When hydro came we were operating our own plant with nothing to offer industry. In x919 when -he was Mayor the first move. was made, at that time 460 horse pow- er was being -used, the kilowatt hour rate was Pc, today the rate had been reduced to.3.2c and 900 It. p was Used. In addition the hydro office had been fitted out and the street lighting had been. changed. at a cost $23,500 All of which had been paid out of revenue. He 'considers hydro has been very suc- cessful iit Wingham, it is being carried on as economically as possible. The charge per horse power had been re- duced from $52.00 to $37.50, • Wingham .13'ydro • with a total *qr. pins $97,782 was in good 'shape, He had worked for its best interest but 'be- lieved it was time lie should drop -out, and he was now leaving the Commis- sion. Frank Sturdy He could not say much on hydro work, but he believed that the com- plete report given by Mr. Gurney was the first one he had ever heard at any meeting. Our kilowatt hour rate is higher than many surrounding towns, and he thought it should be lower as we have our auxiliary plant, He in- tended to run for Commissoner. Fred L. Davidson As Mayor for the past three years he had sat on the Commission, and since Mr. Gurney was not seeking re- election -he was definitely in the field. In 1918-19 ,he had worked in the plant when it was producing about 350 h. p, In 1920 at time of hydro the town was wired to handle about 700 h. p. and at one time this year the peak load reach- ed 1200, so that heavy wire must be installed to be ready to secure new in- dustry. Water vrates were only suffi- cient to carry its own. All. Lockridge Alf, Lockridge said that after twelve years on the 'School Board he had nominating W. W. Gurney to replace him. ST.
