A PECILIAR PRESENT For All Other Places In The Council .\ young Flesherton lady went into Eaton's store in Toronto before Christ- mas and ordered a pair o? »novsh;>o3 for a younger sister as a Christmas present. When the parcel came it was a big one â€" big enough to contain eight or ten pairs of snowshoes. and when the thing was opened it was found to contain a storm door instead of the snowshoesl Some Christmas present, what? Dep. -Reeve And Council A QUIET MEETING Nominations for the township of .\rteme3ia were held in the town hall on Mondaj: afternoon, when the fol- lowing were nominated: â€" . FOR REEVEâ€" T. R. .McKenzie and Alex. Cameron. FOR DEPITYREEVEâ€" J. A. Ho- garth and T. L. .Mercer. FOR COUNCILLORSâ€" John Will- iamson, .Alex. Carruthers, Herbert Corbett and Harry Shaw. The meeting, which followed, wa.s presided over by Mr. Jos. McKee. The first man called was T. R. Mc- Kimie, who gave an interesting ad- dress on township and county affairs. He said the balance on hand was about' the ^ame as last year, notwith- standing thi^ there had been extra expenditure in the matter of hospital attention and damages. He covered the work on roads and bridges. One bridge on the valley road cost $1243.- 39, all told. It was difficult to keep up the valley road in order to avoid damages. The Board of Health had been little more expensive than usual but the township had been free from epidemics, which was a matter for congratulation. The county rate was the same as last year. For the past three years the expenditure on provincial highways had been $24,- 000, $54,000 and last year it was $94,- 000, of which the county paid 20 per cent. Artemesia should have no kick coming, as she had two highways crossing her, a provincial and a county. There had been no construc- tion this year, only maintainance. An effort had been made to get the gov- ernment to take over the Collingwood Durham highway as a provincial road, and while nothing was promised they had been encouraged to hope that it would be made a county-provincial highway, which meant that that 60 per cent, would be paid by the govern- ment. He explained the statute labor question, which is now before the people, and asked the electors to look at it from all angles so that they might vote intelligently. The government grant last year would be ten to eleven hundred dollars; under the proposed system it would amount to $1700 or SISOO. The overseer would be appointed by Council. .A.t present there were 3100 days of stat- ute labor in the township. There was quit a warm discussion on this matter, many questions being fired and answered. The coming year would be an important one in County Council and it wa.s important that good men should be sent. The agree- ment with the City of Owen Sound had to be renewed, and there would be an equalization of the County Rate. Mr. John Hogarth. Deputy-Reeve, explained the work he had done dur- ing the year, and referred to the cutting of the Glen hill, of which he had not been in favor. The ex-f penditure on this hill this year had been $7212.39. Mr. T. L. Mercer had served the township for the past two years and felt he would like to get a litle fur- ther. He was a friend of Mr. Hogarth and hoped he would still be after the contest. He referred to the Weber hill which had been badly cut up by the hydro drawing coal. He had secured $200 from the Hydro on this account and he had done about a mile of gravelling on this hill. In his beat they kept the roads open themselves with- out charge to the township. He did not think the road work should be put on the roads in winter. The other connillors then gave an account of their stewardship and the new nominees also gave their views and the meeting, which was very rep- resentative of the municipality, ad- journed. There was a filll house at the '. nomination meeting forr the township of Osprey held at Maxwell on Mon- day and considerable interest wa^ manifested in municipal matters. One of the chief subjects under dis- cussion was the statute labor ques- tion, and it was finally decided that instead of taking a vote on it tu leave it in the hands of the Council. Reeve W. L. Taylor was elected Reeve for 102.5 by acclamation, this • being his fourth successive election, i Mr. Taylor was chairman of the , Roads committee in 1924 and render- j ed valuable ser\'ice to the county and i towTiship. There were two nomina- I tions for Deputy-Reeve, Louis Moore ' and John Lockhart, and the follow- [ ing were nominated for Councillors â€" James P. McKenzie, Geo. D. Shortt, ] Joseph Henderson. W. C. Edwards, , and Lachlan Cameron. i The Season's Greetings Another year has come to a dose and we take this opportunity to extend to our many friends and customers the Season's Greetings ajid to wish you all A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR A.
