on the candidates who responded as fol lows reeve george cleave reviewed the financial statement of receipts and expenditures for the past year and explained various items in connection with the years busbies the coun cil as a whole had endeavored to work in the best interests of the municipality the chief items of ex penditure were in connection with road building a new road maintain- cr and rotary scraper had been pur chased and a municipal gravel pit opened up on the 10th line also a couple of acres of gravel adjoining the pit on the right of way had been purchased and paid for the weed menace in the township was a seri ous matter and the inspector had complained that some property owners were not living up to the act action had been taken with the department at toronto regarding the assessment of the upper canada college proper ty at nerval and he believed the township would be able to collect taxes on it next year financially the township was in good shape with a surplus in the neighborhood of 5001 owing to conditions prevung throughout the country he dkl not care to state definitely uie policy for 1031 as regards road expenditure and care ful handling of the finances would be necessary as county rate mothers alloifsmce high school expense etc were increasing every year the good roads system was in better shape and quite a lot of good work had been done on township roads he would be a candidate for the reeveship for 1931 and if elected would give the very best service possible he thank ed his mover and seconder and wish ed all a happy and prosperous new year mr cleave answered several ques tions put to him by ratepayers deputy reeve george currie thank ed the ratepayers for their expression of conndenoe by again electing him by acclamation to the ofnee of deputy reeve he had always endeavored to work in the best interests of the township and would continue the road superintendent t l leslie said he was appearing before the rate payers this year hi a new capacity and thanked the council and elec torate for thevcooperatlon durtng the year he explained the laying opening of a new gravel pit on the out of work with the council and engineer roads had to be built to the government standard in order to receive the grant and while they had spnt 37 000 they would receive 40 per cent of that amount back from the government which was really the gasoline tax refunded an 18 ft road is ideal for summer and winter driv ing those on mud roads are entitled 4o- have them improved and would as soon as possible he referred to the 10th line and thought the coarse gravel or stone should be crushed they had called for tenders and the saving over last year had amounted to considerable about 20 miles of road had been buili this year and he thought in about two years tbey could finish all the clay roards la the township some roads in the northern part of the lownship were hard to build the new road main tenance machine was keeping uie gravel roads i in good shape he thought better results could be obtain ed by having a road foreman for small jobs regarding weeds he be lieved 60 per cent were cut and thought every farmer should cut his own weeds several bridges on the 4th 5th and 6th lines and 33 side road will have to be built in 1931 he believed u would be in the interests of all to have the wire fence bonuses discontinued as the original intention was to stop the snow from drifting he quoted the various amounts spent on roads in the township and believ ed the work had been fairly evenly distributed mr leslie answered a number of questions which were asked him by ratepayers m james standlsh who had been nominated for reeve said if the coun cil had fixed the present rate for roads some jrears ago tliey might take to the tall timbers some paying the xate are still on mud roads and it is not fair as regards being a can didate mr standlsh said there were not enough of the ratepayers who thought like he did to elect him the government grant to roads was money you dug down in your pocket to pay the government to pay back to you he could not wish the ratepayers a happy new year because they had nothing to be happy about mr m j carton nominated for the reeveshlpi was glad to see so many ratepayers present he had not anticipated being nominated although considerable pressure had been brought to hear on him he would not be the cause of an election nor would he enter a threecornered hghu who ever is in council should endeavor to lower the tax rate as soon as possible so as to relieve the taxpayer any small jobs should be let to people hi the township these depressed limes there is money going out that should go to the taxpayers and help the municipality if he ran it would be up to the ratepayers whether he was a member of council or not he wish ed all a happy new year mr w j l hampshire also nomi nated for reeve congratulated the ratepayers on the interest displayed by the targe gathering be said the men who represented the ratepayers should use sanity in regard to ex penditure in 1931 he was in sym pathy with those still on bad roads but can we continue to carry on the program expenditure should be bas ed on the ability of the ratepayer to pay he spoke regarding the operat ing of road machinery and believed all road material should be crushed the expenditure must be kept within bounds the farmer today is prac tically renting his land from the gov ernment and county and something must be done to relieve the situation it is well to have good roads hydro machinery etc but there is such a thing as going too far and finding our selves on our farm men should spend money not according to their own means but according to the means of the average ratepayer there appears to be no check on expenditure by county council these times the salaries of municipal servants should be reduced and the system of super annuation in many cases abolished he wished all the compliments of the goring

township to the best of his ability mr arthur beaumont felt that a village of 500 or 600 should have a representative but as all old members had expressed themselves as candi dates for reelection he would not be a candidate this year mr christopher moffat said he would not be a candidate this year as he did not think he could do any bet ter than the men who were now in council mr murray sproat

possible reduce the tax rate some 18 nilles of road had been gravelled 15000 yards of gravel being put on same he corrected a statement which had been made regarding money received as wire fence bonus and defied any man to say he had aver taken a nlckle of township money which he had not deserved he would do his best for the interest of the trjwnstilp ih 1931 and wished all hap piness and

pretty well nxplalried he thanked the ratepayers for truflr support last year and hoped to continue to merit their confluence durtng the coming year a new wbe fence bonus bylaw should be passed as he did not think payments being made under old bylaw were legal a lot of money was being spent on building roads every year and the council were tryln to give every ratepayer a fair deal they had tried
