Tiic: Clerk ih*c!ared tho meeting aiijourned till Monday Jan. 7, 167^, when a poll willjbe taken. Ha was prepared to 'hear the speeches of the IneT and' retiring candidates. % , Mr. Storey'thanked the electors fur the honor they hai conferred in; nominating him for the. first jpffice' in tho Council. Some peiBonb said it was personal hostility which brought him aout against Dr. Mc- Gdrviu. Hei would . inform them it was nothing of tha sort. Thc-ro had been a great amouot of indif ference manifested by the Council of last year. Sometimes they did not meet for four months, which did riot give the public an ojiuor- tunity of presenting any petitions- Ho was fa"ure of election, "as he thought-the electors had soiinula enough, to see who should be elect ed. He again thanked them for . the honor they had conferred upon bi.ni, Dr. MGarvin was sorry that Mr7 Storey had made some allu-' sions to the Council of 1877. He -denied ^hat the business of the Council had been neglected. If 3Ir.' Storey had looked into the business of this Municipality he would.-'-Aiive seen different. He * thought he had tilled the otilco of Itceve for'the- jiast two years in u. business way. The money of tho -Municipality had been spent itv a-, judicious manner. The tax rate in this Village-..-Was lower last year than it had been before, it being -four and a half mills on the dollar rlower by one-half a mill than ever before. }^d one could Bay but that the Council hud practised "economy. He titan submitted t-.oime figures to the elector?, ehow- ir> the. receipts am] expenditure of tbt> Village during the past' two years. . He said th#-bonus question vus used w> it lever to thnvi' him out. He number of person?, wivO, he thought, wero jiist as good as ho was, and who should Imvo h chuuee to get into the C>encil. Ho had been >n the Council one year and that was butlicient for uny .one person. Mr. Christie, chairman of the Committee on Streetsuind Sidewalks gave tin account of tho expenditure of that Committee during the past year. Ho stated that the Commit tee had experienced considerable difficulty during the year, as it was rather hard work to please every- bod v. liefore presenting n report to tho Council, the report was Hlw.\ys carefully considered by all the members of Committee. The work done on the streets had nat all l>eeu given to one contractor, but was given to/all the unemployed meii.in the vill.ige. Ho ltud seve ral of. the reports which "had been submitted to the Council, so that the electors could see whether the money had not toen judiciously speui. He thanked the electors for their kindness during tho past two years. He thought they had a right to hand tho honor of being councillor round, and he was one of thoso who wished to give others a. chance. Ho could have been nominated as Reeve hud he wished, but, as his time and business would not permit, and he was intending to visit Europe, lie did not want to try for an office unless he could de vote his whole time and attention to it. He agiun tharked them for the kindnes3 ho had received at their hands"'during- his stay in Acton. ' '.. . j ' Mr. C. S. Smith thanked the electors for the honor they had conferred njion him during the fast year. He thought that others should have a share of the honor during! the- coming year, therefore he would not allow himself to be nominated. * - . Mr. E. Kicklin had not much to say.

Ro'sb fyling new bonds, us he intended to run for an office in the Council of next year. ; Tlie. Ree-ve said the principal reason for his calling the special meetiutj was to consider the com munication of Air. Storey. He did not want to put anything iri tho way of Mr. Storey, and he thought it would be' better to release him, provided it was legal to do so. He did not npprehend any danger from trespassing on tie law in this case. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Christie were also willing to release Air. Storey, provided it was,legal, bu: they thought that Mr. Storey was not in such a position that he could accept the nomination at present. Air. Storeyrbeing present he was asked to give his opinion.on the subject. He said that tho only reason why he wanted the'Cq'uncil to accept jhiHTesignation as surety for All. Ross was because he wished to show every respect to the requi sition which had been presented to him by tho electors, but if the Council should find that it was not legal to release him, ho was willing to stand by their ruling.' He had been thinking over the matter and thought it would not be legal lentil ;the utidit-was completed; Buf he would like them to release him so that he could run for office at the next election if not at this. How- jever, he ,was satisfied they would do the best they .could under the circumstances, und ho was confident the Council would do nothing to burke his election. A motion .v~s then prepared, ought always td bo found there, and hoped that in future as in tha jiast they would study to work so that it would mutually benefit each othor. Hoping that they would all have a hippy new year he again 'thanked them for the beautiful present of which lie hail been 'made the recipient. Sonn onymiicrniire Kolrre.
