appointed chairman and called upon those nominated who ad dressed the electors as follows reeve george cleave said he was pleased to again have the privilege of addressing the ratepayers of the town ship he reviewed the work of tne post year explaining the various re ceipts and expenditures as presented in the fim- statement they bad continued the policy of road building but at less cost to the ratepayers the township was in good shape financial ly he read a report from the coun ty clerk relating to the expenditures on county work on roads schools old age pensions etc which showed sn pproxhnote balance of 12000 the rnnt of the roads was an im portant matter and the road mac hinery purchased by the county was doing good work land the roads wen kept well above the average there had been an agitation to have the second line between acton and mil ton made a provincial highway but the cost of 44000 per mile of which the ratepayers would have to pay 20 par cent was too high he did not press to have this work gone on with as it would cost in the neighborhood of 800000 obd the county could build the road cheaper the council of 1931 as a whole had endeavored to give the best possible service to the atepayers the roods must be kept up and those off the highways have a right to their ijiare of good roads there is no better asset to a farming community than good roads and ac cording to engineers esquesing is on a par with any other township 1 queslng has no debenture debt and the township is amply secured for every dollar of back taxes the splen did credit of the township is due to the policy of those who served in years gone by as well as the present council and the same policy should be continued in toe future deputyreeve oeorge currle was pleased to meet the ratepayers again to see that the gathering was getting larger and that an interest was being taken in township affairs be chink ed all for the many kindnesses which had been shown him during his ill- less last summer the township had received its full share of county work this year but whoever represents es quesing in county council next year must fight against any more expend ture at the lower end of the county ff more debt is saddled on the coun ty we shall never be able to pay 11 off it is time we went to the gov crnment and told them what to do and not always have them betting the county what they must do if they want another highway let them jet funds where they may but not from the ratepayers of halton with jld age pensions and other levies the county council has become a collec tion agency for the government the upkeep of cemeteries is quite right and we should show respec to the pioneers who to a large extent mode our country what st is today the township of esquesing is in the best position of any township in the pro vince we have no debenture debt and thanks is due to the councils of the years gone by as well as the pres ent for this splendid financial posi tion the 10c rate for hauling gravel last year accounted for a lot snore work for less money whoever com pose next years council must econo mise and cut down expenditure out side of malntainence and reduce taxes if a member of next years council he would do his best to reduce ex penditures be was running for reevesmp after having served t years as deputyreeve and the men under wished to sdvance he would leave himself in the hands of the electors and abide by their decision councillor w g appelbe was noml noted for both deputyreeve and councillor he said he would accept whatever position the ratepayers wish ed but whoever coohosed 1932 coun cil should economise and lower the taxes they should be cautious and not go in for any big expenditure he believed 100o0 could be cut off of road expenditure and still carry on he was opposed to building any more highways through the county to txilld up clues at either end he was a candidate for deputyreeve and was quite satisfied to abide by the decision of the ratepayers councillor w a wilson sold he was a candidate for deputyreeve for 1933 he was in favor of economis ing as far as possible and while the roads must be maintained he believed expenditure on them could be con siderably curtailed he appreciated the confidence of the ratepayers in the past and would leave himself in their hands councillor lome mullin appreciat ed the confidence of those who placed hurnsme before the electors for 1932 council be said taxation must be reduced by reducing expenditures roads must be maintained but much new road should not be built until times warranted it e would be a candidate for 1933 and if elected carry on as in the past bdwin harrop said he had not come to tile meeting for municipal honors but had been prevailed upon bo stand and as there was no repre sentative from word one he would be a caiklidate if elected he would nracuce economy and endeavor to work in bast interests of ratepayer mr wmoowdy sam he admired the council for what they had done in the past- year llmehouse and vicini ty never had better roads he con gratulated the councils of the past and- present for rexusing to run into debenture debt and urged whoever ight compose 1932 council to stick to that principle he had no notion of being a candidate for municipal honors but was proud to be a rate- layer in the township of esquesing n a robinson thanked his mover and seconder and said he had not much notion at present of being a candidate the council had done good work in the past ilr brown said he did not come expecting to be nominated he crlti clsed the statement as inaccurate ana thought a more reliable one should be presented to the ratepayers he od watca and believed the farmers should be given the ob of drawing gravel for the roads in order to help them earn money to pay their taxes wm scheirkr said he wouirj he i candidate as he believed the rate payers were entitled to a man at the north end he asked the ratepayers for their support and if elected would work in best interests of all concerned g wesley murray said he had been pbvalled upon to be a candidate but vvould not force an election if there was an election he would be a can didate and if elected would practice economy he was thanlcfiu for- the i eduction in taxes this year and be lieved they could be further reduced if elected he would strive to get value for all monies spent and work in the best interests of all concerned road superintendent thomas l lclle thanked the ratepayers for the splendid treatment he hod received at their hands during the year if the work done on roads this year had been dome with teams the costs would have been double the cost of finish ed road gravelling grading etc was about 300 a lot a mile incfudthg col verts etc east about 1000 about 10 miles of mud road should be done in 1932 half the amount of last year he read a statement of the money pent on different roads in the town ship reove cleave following the other speakers said he had protested most strenuously against the building of third highway through halton the cost of building bridges was outrage ous if reelected he would continue the policy of economy and would en deavor to reduce taxes the mg year if no unforseen circumstances occurred much of the money col- lacted had to go meet fixed ex pcndluires and the council had control over only a small proportion of the taxes collected he did not agree with bhe proposal to do road work with teams as 1t would cost too much and members of council were bound by oath to do all in best interests of the ratepayers as a whole he would be a candidate for 1932 re had been three years at county council and had endeavored to nerve the ratepayers to the best of his ability as far as he could remember previous represen tatives have had four years at coun ty council in reply to a question by mr ruddell be said he would do all he could to assist in securing a re duction in
