To do this. he must sacrifice his own business." He suggested the need1 for a Town Manager. "We just haven't the time ta give ta Coun- cil affairs that we would like," hie said and later added. "A Town Manager would pay off. He would have nothing else ta think af." There are many thlngs stii ta be donc and the exhorbitant casts today means higher taxes; as the tawn expands. expenditures willj increase.1 Finance Mlnlster Reports As Chairman of the Finance Cammittee, Morley Vanstane saidj that when considering the esti- mates, hie found that some of the Cornmittees stayed within their budgets and others did not due ta unforseen expenses. He said that $17,500 was estimated for the surfacing ai town streets. 0f this amount, $10,000 wiil be paid on road construction and $7,500 wiil be ici t as a balance. As for other details, Mr. Vanstone said, "'His Worship covercd the situ- ation pretty wcli. We'ii let it go at that." Public Property Report As Chairman ai the Public Property Committce, W. D. Car- ruthers spoke on garbage dis- posai, tree removai, street light- ing and the upkeep of public buildings. "Garbage disposai is not en- tirely satîsiactory," he said and explained he was receiving com- plaints relative ta the town dump. "We leveiled it with a bulldozer and put a gate on it," he said, 46and although an incenerator would be the answer ta aur prob- lems, it is financiaily out ai the question." On street lighting Council has flot been satisfied either, nom has it been able ta satisfy many resi- dents. He said that cost was the primary factor in sprcading lights out in order ta receive maximum town coverage. He estimated the cost ai each light's operation at $16 a year. Simnilariy, the cost ai removing trees is fairly heavy. For the most part, trees are run- ning into electric wires which ne- cessitates their removal at a cost of approximately $35 each. Reporting an the upkeep ai public buildings, hie said that $900 had been spent this yeam. The clerk's office and the Coun- cil chamber were redecorated as was the public library. In the latter case, the speaker said a new floar and a new lightiihg systemi are desirable. The Pro- vincial Police Office was redcc- oated at a cost ai $300 but this wil be revenue producing. Prior ta redecomation. this office ent- ed for $10 a month. It now brings in $35. "We're flot through yet," Mr. Carruthers said, "The halls should be redecorated and the town Pol- ice Office should be, freshened up, too."1 He suggested that a few hundred dollars be set aside each year in order ta accompiish the needed repaim. Police Force Tmproved "Some improvements have been made an the local Police Force," Councilior Nelson Osborne, Chair- man ai the Police Committee said, in reporting an his tern i office. He said a pension was granted cx- constable Walter Halls and that the farce had been increased ta four. He suggested that mare improvements couid be made and added, "I don't think that expon- dîtures next year wiil be any less than the yeam just past." Councilior Mcl Dale, Chairman oý the Civic Committcc. stressed the need ai co-opemation between Recreational Directar Don Shay and the people ai Bowmanville. "Don is diing a wondemful job," he said, "and he could do a better job ïf he had mare co-aperatian," Mm. Dale also mcntioned the proposed survey ai town and also the tact that oniy one iamily in Bowmanvilie is an reliefL He said Council is haping that this man's incame wil improve whereby re- lief is no longer necessary. Counillor A. C. Darch and Mr. G. R. Wooll aithough nominated and qualifiid, were nat present at the nomination meeting. Said Ex-Councillor R. J. Nid- dery "I have the best interest ai the town at heart and if eiected will do the bcst I can in the in- tcrest ai the taxpayers." Wm. G. James, although nom- inatcd, declincd the nomination on the grounds that more than a full siate ai Councillors bad al- rcatly aliowcd their names ta stand. Darlington Twp. (Continucd From Page One) He intimated that "'this corm- bination (Clerk and Dcputy Reeve) and this utterly unconsti- tutional setup must be broken up1 and the aid ule ai compiete e- sponsibiiity ai Council rEstrd just as in the aid days. Clainis Whisper CamPalgn "Chici ai the back door can- ards is the whispering campaign now widely circulated in an ef- fort ta blame the Reeve tom the assessor fiasco. This was settied out ai court at a cost ai $475 ta the taxpayers. It is naw ciaimed that the Reeve was responsibie, since he and the Clerk signed a document ta permit the former Assessar the facilities ai bank cre- dit against his eanings . . . The document dîd not commit the Township ta one cent ai liabiiity whatsaever. It was made out for $900 in favor ai The Bank ai Montreai, Bowmanviie, and stat- cd cieariy that ail payments, as and whcn payments are due ta the Assessor should be made direct ta the bank." ;On this particular question. Mm. Milisan said in an aside: "'There is natbing ta it, Jimmy Hogarth kncw there was nothing ta it, he was there." Later he added, "This yeam he tbaught it wouid be a good trick ta siap aid Milison in the pants." Record 1[s Platformr Apparently nat peturbed by the roar ai laughter that geetcd his last statement, the Reeve went on: 11 havc.indicatcd just a few af the matters ai irregularity in Darlington Council which the voters may cansider at the elcc- tion.

Millson said: "I'm naminated for Reeve and l'il stand. If elected l'Il do a lot for this Township, and if I'm not, l'Il thank yau, too." Questions From Thec Floor The Reeve then opened thc dig- cussion ta questions tram the floor and the tollowing is part of the subsequent interrogation. Voice: Who authorized putting the culvert in ai ter the engineer authorized taking it out? (This culvert is between Lots 26 and 27 near the Lake and adjacent ta the C.N.R. railroad and the tarm ai Albert Arnold, who,. it is beiieved, has threatcned Dam- lington Township with suit). Milîson: The engineer's assist- ant, Rogers, made the survey and ordered the culvert put back in and the water turned west. Voice: Who askcd for the sec- ond survey? It shduldn't have been donc. Milison: A survcyor's word is law. Voice 2: Who, in thc tirst place, authorized the road superintend- cnt ta dig the east ditch on this road and send ail that water down to this man? Milison: I don't know. It shouldn't have been donc. Voice 2: Why docsn't Council do something about it? You've been tooling around with it ail sum- mer. Voice 3: Did you know you had 80 rods ai road down there that has just been piowed up? Milison: That's Mm. Nichais' corner. let him tell you about it. New Implement Shed Voice: Who is respansible for building the tin shed out back? Milison: Council. Voice: Are you building it ta store impiements? Will ther2 be room for a mechanic ta work? Milison: What do you think it's being built for, a dance hall. It's for impiements. Voice: I naticed on the blue- prints that there was a mistake made in the doorway. Millson: I know. Voice: Why did you sign a con- tract for a 12 foot doorway whcn you need a 16 foot doorway? Milîson: The Councillors are here. They ail passed it, ask thcm.1 Clerk Takes The Floor E Reeve Milîson retircd tram the platiorm and J. D. Hogarth, Township Clerk and Chairmanf ai the meeting, addressed the gathering. 'II shouid be a millionaire, I guess," he said, "Since I sold, the scrap and got the money, and I sold the posts and the rest ai it." Then his voice rose in crescendo: III neyer got a nickel out ai thati scrap." "No?" Mr. Milisan questioncd.1 'II neyer got a nickel?" the Clerk rctorted adding, "One ai your great troubles is that you1 surmise that evcryone cisc is thet same as you«are." A loud howl iilled the raom. Changing the subject, the Reevei asked, "Who did you order the5 posts fram?" "'You'd like ta know," said the1 Cicrk. 'II know," Mr. Milison said. 1 "You should." Mr. Hogarth camc back, "You've been snooping al over Uic country." Said Mr. Milison, '"There were 100 pasts ordered. "'You thînk sa?" answered the Cierk. .II da."# "The order was for 56 posts," Mr. Hogarth stated vehcmently. "II used 52 and the same man thai taok thcm away brought then- back and put them in the shed. I paid for thcm." The Clerk brought out his wallet looking for reccipt proof, but when unsuc- cessful countered, "My awn pers- anal cheque is in the bank ta prove it." "I'd like you ta prove that, brother." the.Reeve said. "lIYou have a lot ta prove," the,é Clrk came back, "What about the dogs? Leadbeater's dags. You prove Council didn't pay for tbem." The Reeve expiained: 'II toid Nichais that I had enough an him ta send him ta j ail. Vaice: Let Mr. Hogarth talk, this is supposed ta be a nomin- ation meeting. When the Chaîrman resumed bis seat Ernest Werry spoke tram the audience. 'II maintain we nced a dlean bouse, starting at the top with the Reeve, the Deputy Reeve and the Clerk." he said, "They will uin any young blood that cames into Council." Later he voiced the opinion, "We didn't came dawn ta hear this. We're getting a sampie ai wbat's goinig on in Council. We've gat ta dlean it up and we're going ta dlean it up," he said. Deputy Reeve Reports There were eatîvely ew in- terruptions subsequent taM. Wery's outburst, and when Dep- uty Reeve Roy Nichais initiated his repart he said: 'I bave always tied ta make Darlington Town- ship anc ai my chici conccmns." In this respect, "I've donc marc for the young people ai Darling- ton thmn any man in tle Town- ship." "Mare than that.' he con- tinud, "I've made a few dollas but I neyer let it go ta my head." Rcierring ta the "tin shed" the Dcputy Reeve told the taxpayeri gatheming that it was intended as a block and brick building in the beginning because "wc thought it would be warmer." He went on, ta expiain Uiat Uic engineer, Mi Masden, was doubtiul thatMit wauid bind together and be strong enougb. The proposition was e- considcred and a cement blockî building. costing "over $6.000" was decided upon as it appeared to be the better building. ýl 1948 Pontiac Sedan ?HURSDAY, ?iOV.

He said, "the Motors have becn , ood enough ta give us a new frame and this should satisfy us for 10 ycars." When the wheel was broken off he saîd 1"they got a new wheel." "lLast year," the Deputy Reeve repomted, "we pioughed a lot of snow at a total expense ai $742." This total, he ciaimed, was $2,000 bclow a similar figure for 1948. Concluding his report Mr. Nichais asked for questions tram the floor. The only one forth- caming was: "Have you got any mare seating?" A tew people were without benefit ai chairs at the rear ai the hall. Mr. Nichais toid the meeting when replying ta his nomination as Reeve: "If eicctcd, you will get satisfaction that will be done on a business basis and not for show." Senior Counellor Reports Touching on the "tir; shed" proposition, -Senior Councillor Harold Skinner said that the figure on the statement, $2,7475, was representing ai haîf the cost and that the total would be $5,550, "including doors and everything." "As regards tenders," he said, "aonc was turned down by the engincer, we got another with a figure considerabiy more." He said members ai the Council "1went amound and looked at sheds" and then notified a Peter- borough concemfi that they wcmc accepting their tender. Subse- quent ta this notification, a third and lowem tender was reccived, "but what would they think and other people think" if wc rcvok- ed aur acceptance ai the Peter- borough tender? Mm. Skinner commented: "I'm for what Mm. Wemry said, we should dlean the whole house out." To which Mm. Werry repiied: "You've got me wmong. I didn't say the whoie house - just the heads." Ex-Reeve Charlie Carruthers interruptcd. 'Don't wrangie. Yau can speak on election day. We're here for information." Continuing, Councilior Skinner said, "Ilil admit aur roads have been pretty bad. Ramn ruîned ail the work donc on them and the government wouldn't heip us any more." He told the meeting that mare money wauld have ta be spent ta kecp the moads up.
