BINELEY ham, for 1918, that I, opposed by Mr. Simon Mitchell, had intended standing T'br this position for the year 1917. but on re- quest of Mayor McKibbon retired in his favour to give hire his second term with- out opposition . I have on good author- ity that'Mr, Mitchell has presented his qualifications for the position to 'a great number (if not the majority,) of the electors but that he has now declined to qualify and has switched his canvass in favour of a new eleventh hour applicant for the honour; Mr Blake Elliott hav- ing entered the field in opposition to me, t Altkough he has never until now had the loourage to take that stand. .or the past three and one half years I • havb served you in the Wingham Council and have been chairman of the Electric Light and Waterworks Committees for that full term. As for my general work in your council, I have taken a stand, which in my opinion was in the best in- terest of the Town of Wingham, on posi- tively every question which has arisen, and my record is before you also as Chair- man of these two Committees. Since taking the Chairmanship of the Electric Light Committee I draw your attention to the fact that you have never during this time had your light in general go out of business at any time, that you are re- ceiving a cheaper rate for both light and power than any of the surrounding muni- cipalities, even including those supplied by Hydro Electric, and also a more uninter- upted service; and in addition we have this year paid all our debts, paid all our debenture coupons and shown a surplus for the department of $1200.00 or over, •despite the fact that fuel and other ex- penses have almost doubled during my term of office Regarding the Water Works we have supplied you during every day nd night of the past year with water hat is nowhere surpassed for purity and department andyet the ire a t nt service ons ap has a surplus of over $3,000.00, showing that there -is no reason why 1918 should ' not see a substantial reduction in your water rates' Vo le for G.

Although the wedding anniversary is April 14th, this joyful event was celebrated on Christ- mas day, at the home of Mr. Jas Porter, on the o.d homestead because that the family were all together on that date and could not be together on April 14th. Continuously for about forty years Mr. and Mrs Por ter were among Turnberey's most respected people, and since retiring they moved to Wingham to spend the evening of their lives. The family were all present, viz. Mrs Harvey, Mr, and v1rs. Richard Porter and Master Richard of Detroit, Miss N Porter, Toronto Mrs. J. Y. Brown, Brantford; Mrs. J. W.
