Wright is Reeve by acclamation: for
1934, and seven candidates are in the
field for Council. The voting will
take place on Monday, Jan: 1st from
9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
At the close of the nominations W.
A. Mines was appointed chairman, and
in his few remarks expeessed regret
.,of the death of one of the councillors
John Douglas. The clerk was instruc-
ted to send a .letter of condolence
frons the ratepayers of the township
to Mrs. John Douglas and family.
I. J. 'Wright was the first candidate
called upon, and after stating that the
Township had $2000 less outsanding
taxes this year, turned his attention
'to County matters. 'He said that the
County of Huron with 270 miles of
•county roads, not including boundar-
ies; had the greatest mileage of any
county in Ontario. The cost of the
•road in Bluevale was $1465.30. There
had been a slight reduction in the rate
from the county this year, but that
•the •money received was insufficient.
:Ile could not see where there could
'be any reduction in the general rate
next year, but if no paving was done
'there would be a saving of about one
'quarter of a mill on, the highway rate.
In making a few remarks regarding
.the county audit, he said, that if in
1931 when he with others were in
favor of securing chartered account -
:ants to audit the books had been done,
the recent disgrace to 'the County
would have been averted. He was
opposed however, to the 5 Months'
;.audit. ,
In mentioning the Wroxeter school
question, he said that a mistake had
'been . made in equalization in 1930, at
which tiine'the village. returned to the
township. They have received more
than their share in county grants, and
-that Turnberry should not be criticiy-
-ed if they give no more thanthey
should.
The County was conducting a cam-
paign against the warble fly or heel
fly, and if every farmer would co-op-
erate in this campaign this pest could
be exterminated in 3 years.. He was
asked regarding the nose fly, and the
necessary treatment was given,
Janes MacTavisle was next called,
and commented oh the excellent way
the taxes have been paid. Tlie out-
standing taxes were, for 1981, $148.23;
1932, $145.48; 1933, $5,530.52. He said
the assessment of the township had
been reduced considerably, and gave
a resume of the expenditures, explain-
ing several items under the head of
Miscellaneous: He offered as Cour recommended that the younger inen
parisons some of the expenditures of step tip, and was glad to see that sev-
the To'ivtrship of East Wawanosh, and er',.l were coining out this year. He
in particularnoted the difference in
the item of sheep killed, where the
. To of Tutnberry paid $213.00,
Township p
East Wawanosh only lied an expendi-
tore of $25,50.
