The Nomina,tions
IN APPRECIATION
Mayor MatEwan, in announcing
WS retirement from the Mayoralty
after many, years of civic service,
had a grand story to tell of the
• improvement in the finances of the
town in the last Ave or six years.
° Instead of carrying Imp loans at
• the bank, the Town now not only
owes the 'beink'nething, buthas a
substantial surplus on hand, the
tax rate has been reduced, and A
further reduction of taxes is in
prosPeet,
leato Oleo With a good taste
in my mouth," said His Worship.
IVIacEwait may well take,
pride in his , civic record, and the
-42,41itavishes,-for-hini-loiw-years,of.
conifort and honor inthe imollicial
tcapacity of "elder statesman."
The Town is losing the serviceS
of two other members of the Conii.
cil who have given valued service—
Mr. J. W. Craigie and Mr. Frank
Bingham. Mr. Ciraige has behind
• di
hilM a long record in civic life, as
' member of the Public School Board
and later as member of the Town
Council, with some years also in .
the County Council. Mr. Bingham
has not so long a record; but as
chairman of the. Council's public
works committee he has devoted
his time, his thought and hit;
energies ably and unselfishly to the;
service of the Town -and his retire-
. ment is a distinet loss to the
municipality. '
