ORMISTON Mayor Bowman, Reeve Jackson, and Deputy Reeve Seek Re-Election Announcement Made at Social Gathering Following Final Meeting Monday Evening--Coun. Rowe Will Run Again, But Other Councillors Are as Yet Undecided-- May Be Contest Ma, C. E. Bowman, Reeve Al- bert w Jackson and Deputy-reeve R. M. Deverell will seek re-election to their respective offices for the year 1981. They made this gnnounce- ment at a social gathering held in Luke's restaurant at the closing of the statutory and regular meeting on Monday night. Other members of the Council declined to state what they would do, with the exception of Coun. J. H. Ormiston, who an- nounced that he would stand for another year only if his qualifica- tion meant that the town would be saved the cost of an election. Mr. Ormiston felt that if there was to be a contest there were others who might want to serve the town as he done for three years, in which event he would retire. The supper at Luke's restaurant was purely an informal affair, and did not take the place of the cus- tomary mayor's banquet, Mayor Bowman having previously announ- ed that he would cancel this event this year and donate the cost to the Christmas Cheer and Welfare Fund. lown $1349, the estimated revenue 'rom that source when the rate was truck in the spring being $2,000.

W. P, Every, super- intendent of the Public Utility Com- mission; Town Engineer H. L. Pringle, Town Clerk and Treasurer John R. Frost, Chief H. W. Quant- rill, Night Constable Thomas, and Caretaker Fred Little. Brief speech- es were made by all around the board, and the general opinion ex- pressed was that the councilmanic year just closing had been one of harmony and strict attention to the town's affairs. Many serious and un- forseen problems had been met, and on the whole the year 'had been one of satisfaction to all who served. Civic officials thanked the Council, particularly the mayor and reeve, for co-operation and kindly interest during the year. There had been the closest co-operation between all civic departments, and on the part of all civic employees, it was noted. The hope was freely expressed by civic officials that all members of the 1930 Council would be returned next year. Council Received Financial Statement From The Treasurer Sharp Decline in Receipts, Increase in Bank Loan Interest Bill on Account of Tax Arrears, Heavier Payment on County Levy, Contributing Factors to Deficit at End of Year of Over Six Thousand Dollars--Send Statement to Ratepayers In a financial statement of the town's finances for the year 1930, up to December 15, presented to the Town Council at the Statutory meet- ing on Monday, Town Clerk an Treasurer John R. Frost shbwed the total receipts for the year to be $136,164.80, and expenditures $152,- 818.01. From the expenditures there will be deducted before the end of the year a considerable sum now owing for various civic services and licenses which will be collected. The treasurer showed a deficit on the year's operations of approximately $6,800 Decline in Receipts In his explanation of the deficit the treasurer showed that the re- an an- nual rental fee for the Public Utility Commission offices. Heavy Expenditures Several extraordinary expendi- tures were encountered during the year which contributed to the defi- cit. The town was obliged to pay the County of Ontario the sum of $1,300 {n excess of the amount lev- ied for this purpose. The town paid the county $22,000 this year. Ow- ing to unemployment, and increased demands for street improvements, the Roads and Bridges Committee estimate was overspent by $1,782. For charity the town spent $204 more than was estima Another big item in the deficit list was the large amount paid on interest on loans. The estimate was $1,500, but it cost the town $2,670 owing to the fact that many citizens did not pay their taxes. The town had to carry on as usual and with borrowed money. Had the taxes come in bet~ ter the amount of the loan from the bank might have been much less. The estimate for printing and ad- vertising was $800, but $1,060 was spent. The purchase of a new com- bined tax and assessment roll which will last for five years, and which was absolutely necessary, ac- counts largely for the difference. The excess expenditure of the Town Property Committee was $126. Considering the decline in re- ceipts, and the extraos inary ex- penditures to be met, the Council felt that the financial statement was as good as could be expected. Every dollar had been accounted for, all monies had been wisely expended, and while a deficit was to be regret- ted, it was totally unavoidable. The Council voted to adopted the treasurer's statement, and ordered the usual number of printed copies for the ratepayers on nomination night.

CHICAGO PRODUCE FUTURES Chicago.~--The market on fresh stock of eggs was fully steady yesterday, with ample inquiry. Re- frigerators were weak and lower. The trade is apparently resorting to the use of fresh supplies at every 'opportunity. Likewise De- cember and January contracts slip- ped to new low levels, and closed weak, with no reserve support in | evidence. Additional reductions were the rule on the spot butter market. Offerings, while a bit more liberal, also encountered a shade better buying. Nevertheless, the general market carries a weak undertone, as do the futures, which closed with a slight rally on the January delivery. No general Smith was standing before the judge for having injured his wife. Judge--"You maintain that you threw your wife out of the second- story through forgetfulness?" Smith--"Yes, we used to live on the ground floor, and I'd clean for- gotten that we'd moved." E Caller: Why, you're writing poetry, doctor, Dr. Butcher: Yes; to kill time.
