He said hie toIt it would be presumption on his part to outline a policy for the year as hie was only the pnesiding officon and it la the council that deals with the proïblems. However, hie considered it advis- able to impro-ve the main noads ]ead- ing te the town. The local business men wene tacing keen outside coni- petition and it was up to councîl to see that every availafble means was used to improve the roads te induce people in neighboning communities to shop in Bowmanville. He thought an effort should bo made to encourage citizens te u3e town wa'ter which water was second to none, and thus realize a surplus in this department. Wheneven practical hie favoned extension (f wiatenworks and sewenage system. Economy should be the watcb- word but not economy which would be detnimental to ibest intenests of the town. The debeintune debt is high and hie cautioned th.6mflot to add naterially Vo this debt until -ne of the debentures wene retir- ed. lie n.ked each chainnan to give t:3ugh'ful consideration te the work of his departmient and avoid one-man comnittees. Thene are many ways, the mayor said, whene departmnents could ba improved to gat more value for~ money axpended. Speaking about new industries hie considened our first duty was te see *hat the factories aéraacky in oun nidst are uscd night, and if thene ire prospects for new concerna aise 7ýv, them propen treatiment. Following the mayor's address lach meetber of council extended1 congratulations te Mayor Elliott and ýnduîged in fe.licitious nepartee.

Councillor Edger, lest year's Pub- lic Property Chairman, thought something should bhe done to put Town Hall in shape. Councillc>r James, this year's Chairman of Pusblic Pzioperty,!,s no timne in giving notice that at t next meeting of council hie would aak leave to aniend by-law regarding cane of town hall, besidles anakng othen necessary repaire andJ i.nprove-1 ments to the 'building. He aiso thought a caretaker, a resiiient of the town should be engaged instead of depending on transient help. He further suggested that !ouncil s'îi>uld obtain praits of Mayons 'vhose photosdo notalready grace the walls of the conucil rooin. They are the late Dr. S. C. Hillier, Messrs. A. N. MeMillan, H. L Quinn and T. S. Holgate. Reeve Thickson said consideraible expenditure muet be undertaken on Manrvers Road, Base Line and sev- eral streets in So'uth Ward. Councillor Rehder thought it in best intereats of town to engage a working road f oreman on the streets and advertise for such a man. Ap- plications wïl be ccnsidered at next meeting. Resolution was paased authoriz- ing Mayor arnd Roads & Streets1 Committee to take such action as la necessary to get government author- ities and Goun'ties Couneil to com- plete paving of Seugog St. to Geud's Corner. Councillor Carruthers wants Fin- ance Comnittee to tny again thist year to see if bank will give lower rate of interest for huge suins of money town borrows. He also re- questsalal accounts be in clerk's office by 4 p. m., on day of council meet- ing and that chairmen approve of ail accounts before Finance Coimittee is asked to pass on saine. Councillor Corbett favored colleet- ing taxes semi-annually and thus Qave interest. Other councillons concurred in the suggestion and Fin- ance Comimittee was asked to bring in report. Councillor Edger asked Roads & Streets Committee to see that roads north of C. P. R. 'bridge are put ina condition to allow fine truck to do1 its duty should fire break out in i north part of lown.a Clerk was advised to subscribe fors Municipal World for each meinber i of council for one year.a Thus ended the deliberations ofà council at 10.20 p. m., with peace,c harmony and gond wilI to ail. c THE HOME AND SCHOOL CLUBý To Hold Oratonical Contest For Public School Pupils.
