Reeve Albert THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1930 PAGE SEVEN + Quietness Prevails In Whitby Municipal Arena; Nominations December 29 Mayor Bowman, Reeve Jackson, and Deputy-Reeve Dever- ell Are to Seek Re-election -- Members of Council Have Not Yet Declared Themselves -- May Be a Contest for Some Civic Offices -- Some School Trustees and Public Utility Bylaws for Election Commissioners Retire--No &. hg Ahthough cipal a Hen night is less than three weeks away, there is little or no election talk heard in the town. Other years the speculative election prophets have been busy at this time of the year, trotting out the names of prospec- tive municipal candidates for the vari- ous civic offices, but 1930 appears to It is generally understood, how- ever, that Mayor C. E. Bowman, . Jackson and De- puty-Reeve R. M. Deverell will seck re-election, and so far no seekers af- ter these major civic offices have ap- peared upon the civic horizon. It was stated some time ago that Mr. . M. Kenny, ex-reeve, would oppose eeve A. W. Jackson, but so far no official announcement from. Mr. Ken- ny on this subject has been forth- coming. Mr. Jackson, it will be re- called, defeated Mr. Kenny at the Is last election, after having been office for only one year. The fa- mous farmers' agreement was an important question during the last campaign, and undoubtedly it con- tributed to Mr. Kenny's defeat. It will hardly be made an issue this year. No opposition is expected for His Worship Mayor Bowman, who last year defeated L. W. Dudley. Nor is there likely to be any opposition for the deputy-reeve who has now. com- pleted his first year at the County Council. So far none of the council members have expressed thémselves. The time honored mayor's banquet is usually a "coming. out" night, but with the cancellation of this love feast by Mayor Bowman in favor of the Christmas Cheer and Welfare Fund, the civic fathers will have no opportunity to declare themselves: Some members of council have in- dicated that they would like to retire this year, but would be willing to re- main in office in the event of the ratepayers deciding that in order to save election expenses the present council should be given an acclama- tion. This suggestion has been made in some quarters, and it is just pos- sible that it will be mooted on nam- ination night. On the other hand, there are several prospective candi- dates for council and it will be some- thing entirely new if Whitby has no election early in the New Year. All is quiet on the western fronts of the Board of Education and Pub- lic Utility Commission. One listens in vain to hear the names of pros- pective candidates these import- ant civic bodies. Members retire this year on both boards but usually their places are filled without a contest. Last year, however, was an exception. There are no bylaws to be voted on in January. ASKED T0 ENDORSE AN ACCLANATION |: FOR CIVIC BODIES Chamber of Commerce Ex- ecutive Turns Down Resvlutivn "~~ At a meeting of the Executive of the by Chamber of Commerce, held on Tuesday afternoon, the vice- t, Mr. R. A. Hutchison, in- a resolution for w! he asked endorsement, su g that in order to effect a saving next year to the ratepayers, and applying the money to help local citizens in need that acclamation be given to all Punjet al bodies mow holding office Whitby. The resolution is as fol- "That whereas at this time there appears to be u need for the conservation of all public money be- cause of the many calls for assist- ance from our citizens, as well as from the numerous transiepts who come to us daily, looking for help, on account of the prevalence of un- employment. : whereas as the time for our of | the executive of the V.O.N. expe! election should be avoided and that the present mem- bers of our municipal bodies be re- elected by on.

HAD VERY BUSY NOVEMBER Special Committee on Hos- pital Question Gives . Report That the grand finale of the Mem- orial Hospital fund problem has been reached in so far as the Victorian Order of Nurses is concerned, was the report of the special committee nominated at the November meeting of the V.O.N. when they handed in the report of the joint meeting of the Provisional Hospital Board and There have been two meetings held within the month by these 'two bodies, with the result that the necessary proce- dure in dissolving the charter has been decided on, and the matter now rests entirely in the hands of the aforesaid Hospital Board who are proceeding in the legal steps which the occasion calls for. All the reports, including that of the Samaritan committee, treasurer and nurse were most gratifying. Nurse Patterson reported 2 cases, 200 visits and 364 school children weighed and inspected. This makes a most inter- esting report. The annual meeting which takes place in January was discussed, and a nominating committee appointed, consisting of the following ladies, Mrs. J. E.
