Town's position' in connection with the
• housing project and explained that the
Town had. nothing to de with the rent-
ing of theehousta.„. Aceeran_g_ toethe.
contract the Town at the expiration
of fifteen years may buy a house cost-
ing $4,000 at $1:,000e but does not have
- to do so.. A survey had shown that the
town needed houses and he believed
they would be ecOnomical to •live in,
. as it was claimed three to four tens
of coat would put them through a
winter:
• The Mayer spoke of, the new ser-
vices—playgrounds, garbege6collection,
, etc.—which the Town now had to pay
for, -and esea wseilt taxes were higher..
He didn't know of., any other way of
meeting the expenses. He asked that
everybedy get out and vete on election
• day.
Deputy Reeve_Geo. MacEwan again
advocated the formation of conetnie-:
sion to take charge of • the cemetery.
By this means, he said, continuity_ in
improvement plans could be carried
out. He spoke of what had been done
daring the year. by the cemetery and
parks committee, of which he is chair-
man. He denied a rumor to the effect
that the increase in this year's tax
- rate was on account of the rebuilding
of the Park House. He said if anyone
cared to inspect 'the. Park House and
gee -how it had been improvet he would
realize that it was an asset to the
- town. With regard to County- affairs
• he said he believed the present Collet
House .could be renovated and refurn-
ished to serve the purposes of the law
• courts and a new Wilding ,ceuld be
erected for Ceunty purposes. .If 'the
. present Court House were -torn down.
the stone work-sliOuld- be secured for -
the building of a meusolehm ,at the
Cemetery...
Keith. II9pkinson; of the 'Public. Util-
ities Commission, told of plans for
the building of a new sub -station, which
would improve the voltage. -He warned
that not much improvethent could be
expected for the next eight or taeelve
months. The condition of the water
system had received careful consider-
ation, and plans for its overhauling
. were almost ready and it would be
proceedeil with when materials, were
.available.
Candidates for Council
A. L. Brereton spoke very hriefiy,
,promising if re-elected. to do his ,hest
for the,toi•n.
A. T. Kaitting, chairman of the
• special committee, told of his efforts
to abate the smoke nuisance., He also
gave some attention to the band ques-
tion,, and said the boys', 'band was
needed fo fill places in the eenior band.
Thos. Taylor said his year's ex-
perience in the Council had been
educative and ,he told humorously of
-the tribulations of the 'chairman of
the fire committee.
• Joseph Moody said he had learned
a gaud deal in his -firs-year-on the
Ceuncil and if re-elected he hoped to
be of greater use next year.
R. G. Sanderson, chairman of the
• finance committee, dealt in detail with
the Counters 'financial affair's, thanked
those wile had voted for him for three
yeeee, and said he would not be a
candidate this year.
W. J...lialter said he "had a bone
to pick with labor" for ,turning him
-down a year` ago, in spite of the fact
tl at there wasn't a man in the Council
io had done more for labor than he
Fieed. He had got. higher wages for
(rovvn_ employees, had seen that the
jiiroads in the outlying Parte of the
town were improved, and had done
what he meld to see that all citizens
got fair treatment. He believed that
water service shoffld be eXtended to the
outskirts of the town. He was not
surelwhether he would be a candidate
or not.
• J. E. Mullins said he was throwing
his hat into the icing again. He
thought the rentiti of the • Wartime
houses and the rental of the. Park
House did not compare fairly. "lf-
can't get more .thaft $011 a month for
the. Park House,” he declared. "we'd
better 'sell it." He was doubtful 12
half the Wartime houses. 'wOuld be oa.
