Asks For Sincerity Reeve Johnston, of Cannington, struck a clear hut apparently une popular note when he characterized the report of the speciad committes a8 playing with the qUestion -of economy, Mr. Johnston demanded that in the interests of the taxpay- ers, and in view of the finanial de- pression in 'evidence everywhere, the Coungil adopt some tangible economic measures and prove to the ratepayers that were sincere in their expressed desire to reduce ex- penses, He read from the Whithy Gagette and Chronicle where the County Council of Bruce had not only cut the salaries of thelr em- ployees but also applied the kaife to their own mileage and per diem al- lowances. In as many words Mr. Johnston's advice to his colleagues was "Go and do thou likewise, The Basis of Mileage The first recommondation of the committee was that in the matter of mileage and per diem, railway mileage be the standard basis for pay, also that members of com- mittoes while riding {nu county cars, be paid ten cents per mile, one way, the same as at present. This recommendation was amend- ed on motion of Reeve Till, of Reach, to include private cars, In the discussion, Reeve Middle- ton, of Plckering, read from a county regulation which provides pay of ten conts per mila for neces. sary miles travelled. This recom- mendation was therefore out of order and unnecessary in his own enne, he pointed out that it would cost the county moro if he eame to Whithy by rail' as he would have to go around by Agincourt. It weems that for some time there has heen an agitation in the Council to change the mileage basis. As a matter of fact, the question fs an hardy perennial, No New Gaol Cells The second economy recommen- dation, namely, that tho purchase of n battery of cells for the coun- ty gaol be not denlth with this year, carried unanimously, with. out discussion. It was the one ane only economy measure adopt. od, Cut $800 Grant There was a lengthy discussion on tho third recommendation. that tho $300 granted the county en. gineer last yonr for the supervision of bridges not on the county round systom be retfacted, in view of the absence of bridge work In the es- timates for this year, Roeve Till, of Neach, moved an amendment that the depression he substituted for the ahsonce of bridge work as a reason for eut- ting the $300 out, The amendment whe never voted on. Ad the discussion developed, Deputy Reeve Doverell, of Whit. by moved that the clause be struck out of the report, Reeve Jackson argued that Mr. Kean, a faithful efficient and hard working official, was belug un fairly dealt with, Had he collect ed his regular commission of two and a halt per 'cent, last year, he would have received $490, In- stoad, last year he lost $180, sav- ing the county that amount, and pow under the guise of economy it was proposed to cut off the $300. Mr. Kean's salary 'was not too great for the work he was doing. Later on Mr. Jackson argued that Mr, Kean could not be re- placed at a great deal more than the county was now paying him, Reeve Philp, of Brock, stated that he had nothing against Mr, Kean, Why, he asked should the county nd an official for which was not to e done, Mr. Kean was getting u good salary, Reeve Low, Uxbridge, did not think that the county was playing the game fuir with Mr, Kean, wha was efficient and Working long hours, Re- eve Till, Reach, declared that no doubt Mr, Kean was doing all he could for the count but the tax- payers had been obliged to take a cut of 50 per cent in their income, and why not the officials, R. M, Deverell, Whitby, opined that he had not heard of any other county official aciting 4 salary cut. Reeve Somerville, Port Perry, said that Mr, Keen's salary was not in keeping with salaries of engineers in other counties, Plea For Sincerity : Reeve Johnston, of Cannington, said that public sentiment demanded ec- onomy, and this council should try to retrench, even to the extent of cut- ting salaries, "Let ug do it like men and show the ratepayers that we are sincere in our efforts to economize,' he added, Reeve Philp, Brock, stuck to his economy guns and asserted that the council had a right to say what its officials must do and the pay they shall receive. I'he cost of living had decreased 40 per cent. and officials should be able to work for less, "How many men around this Board would keep & hired man, give him the same wages, but tell him that he would not have the same amount of work for him to do?" Mr. Philp asked, lle declared that he was sincere in his desire for economy and wanted to sec some cuts made us an evidence of council's sincerity, Reeve Mackey, Whitby 'Township, pointed out that the government would pay half of the $300 which council proposed to cut off. Council did not know what bridge work would be required this year. The spring determined that, After further discussion the mo- tion to strike the cause out of the report was carried by 17 'out of 24 members, Another cause in the economy re- port was that the committee com- mend the County Road Committee for the cuts it proposes to make at this session.
