council on jan uary 7 the statement- was read signed by e macdonald mr mayor the letter you have just heard read from mr macdonald pro testing my holding office on council for imj and n my opin ion is an issue between mr mac- donald and myself in this light i would like to inform the council as a whole and the people of ac ton who voted for me the situ ation as ii now stands in 1941 prior lo running for council mayor goy cleared with the department rmitnlclpal af fairs the details which are as jfolllmksl j i billings were to be direct from company lo the town 2 cheques were to be made

have teem by the statement made by the mayor that ratepayers of ac ton do not have the right to question any of councils actions without first going through n court for proper clarification would think that the mayor i would ba the first one to want i lo have a charge of this nature investigated immediately and clear the waiter up as soon or possible councillor johnson stales that vcohmltslona enjoyed by selling tnthjfance to ihe towh of acton are shared by recognised agents but falls o elaborate on which agents enjoy this or how the said cummist shared this 1 think should be done councillor wood states if any councillor sells his product dir ectly to council there is a basis of conflict of interest it would seem to me if any councillor re- ietvendlrectly or indirectly em- ralttltont for a product or any other service rendered then there most certainly could be a conflict of interest srlx however as i have tiatcov i am not acquainted with alt the factsehlnlngro this charge but i feci in the best interests of the people of acton a statement should be published stating which agents hold the insurance and how the commissions arc shared and a municipal inquiry board consulted on this matter full report be given on their findings bob drinkwalter 160 cjjyrchlllroad iheirssarclt4oreashjbcoreiilv4j4ljijl9 left an estimated t7s in cash hud been taken after entering

to give binding legal opinions ii does trylo be of as sistance to miuucjpalrrleshend thelf- duly elected officers as much at possible to thai what follows is a reference lo the ex isting- legislation and the judicial ly decided case rather than a le gal opinion in the strict sense you will observe thatlit section 34 i q of the municipal act a councillor is disqualified by hav ing an interest in a contract with the municipality question there fore is whether or not writing policies of insurance does- con stitute such a contract as would disqualify as a councillor in ihe case rex v ketchcson reported at s3 ontario law reports at pnyt was held that after the policy had been delivered there wus no contract between the agent and the municipality hut unly a contract between the insurer and the municipality jowcyvrjnt the end of this case t i n i milh u hlrh fully agree that until the policy has been delivered there would be a contract between the muni cipality and the- agent if my int erpretation of this is correct then this would be a matter upon which any councillor mighfbe disqualified at the instance of a ratepayer your question was whether or hot this would be proper it seejrj sjlo me that th is a matter ould ould not chief librarian mrs r p watson- reported this week the library had been broken into and a small sum of monev taken pa lice constable bruce mc arthur is investigating ii ol morality rather than legality in which the decisiun must be made by you yourself however i would suggest very strongly that this would certainly be a mailer in which you had an interest and that when the matter came be- fore the council you would be obliged to disclose your interest and to refrain from discussion or voting jjiu the matter under lite provisions of section 198a of the municipal act which may be found in the amendments made luring th 196061 session these are the facts of the case as it stands at the moment it the ratepayers had not been satisfied with my conduct of the towns affairs over the past year vouul not have returned me oflv should mr macdonald ntinue the issue and courfsaclion to prove his point thisis his pcnigalivc rcias3fc w tam fnzea k fr
