of he few things winch is cheapei than it was lihij the local hydro commission has embarked on a program of lighting modernization he said which will see the highway and main street completely relighted in a three year period continued school expansion edwin wilson school board chair man reelected along with harry shortill and ross duncan for a two year term explained some of the difficulties which face a school board in a growing town attendance this year increased by 35 necessitating a new teacher and a 35 to 40 increase is anticipated in each of the next 3 years this means that the new 6room school will be filled to capacity and if george town continues to grow in 1954 the school board would be pjanning an addition to the new school he said the board feels the responsibility he said of spending 25 per cent of the tax money and has tried its best to keep costs down in fact he said school board costs have not in creased in as much proportion as the overall cost of local government he docs not think it is a healthy thing that such an important body as the school board should be elec ted by acclamation and hopes in the future to sec more candidates for office high school future walter blehn rorting for north halton high school board which ad ministers schools at georgetown milton and acton said the board was hampered by not receiving any expressions of public opinion a town council is continually criticized ard can get some direc tive from the voters he felt but there is rarely any opinion good or bad oppressed about the school boards actions he could sec no hope of the three towns agreeing on any one site for a central school and per sonally was of the opinion that the best thing for georgetown la an addition to the present building and the elimination of transporting stu dent to milton for shop work and household economics which la both costly and waste a lot of the students time v new library cheaper while it may seem incongruous j l lambert new chairman of the public library board who repor ted for that body said that it would be cheaper to build a nev building than to make repairs estimated at 110000 to the present time the present government grant on a tax levy of 1078 is 236 he said jtt there was a debenture charge of 1000- yearly the grant would rise to 1575 because of a graduated grant structure set up by the gov ernment the time has come he said when either the present building wih have to be repaired or abandoned seeks mayoralty town clerk charles willson who acted as chairman of the meeting called on various new candidates in the order of their nomination after committee reports had been given i jack armstrong pointing to his past experience as a councillor deputy reeve and reeve said there is one remaining honour he would like to have and announced his dandidacy for mayor scott undecided art scott deputy reeve nominee said his nomination had been a surprise and he would wlthold a decision until tuesday david beattie and douglas sar gent also wanted to sleep on it before making a decision goodlet seeks office im definitely a candidate for council said james goodlet also a former councillor and deputy- reeve mr goodlet pointed to his six- year record on council and said he was proud to have been on the councils which had put artificial ice in the arena at no cost to the taxpayer installed a ewerase sys tem at a low rate of debenture in terest put in the new water system and brought wartime houses to town he queried the value of an inter im statement which could change so radically as last year when an es timated surplus had turned intii an 11000 deficit a month later this year said mr goodlet theie is koing to be a surplus of erhapi si 1000 and i miggcst that it will lie made up of s8imi0 profit fur the ilecreation commission which f i oiii aiitir plus 2ni nudgcted they never got the water system he aid had been designed to piovido for a re bate to taxpayers who paid prompt ly plu- settuih 1 1 j a inking fund toi ii ajoi improvement the prac tice nf using the whole urplus to limi the tax rate profits the tax payer at the time but not when the big expenditures come he is confused he aid when a council asks for a vote on a 2500 gram to the gkc every councillor lav ours it the money i- voted by a large majority then the grant is never made he is more confused he oon- t limed at a council which sought office on a payasyougo policy and ended up by issuing 235000 in debentures a- for roads and sidewalks mr goodlet said he was in complete dis agreement with the deputy reeve and thought they wore terrible mr goodlet said that the town should seek out new industry not wait for it to come the town will have to embark on an advertising campaign he said and be prepared to give fixed assessments in order to induce them to build he criticized the dropping of den tal care in the public school but was replied to by school board chairman wilson who pointed out that council had nothing to do with this iast year said mr wilson 10 per cent of the school budget had been spent for dental care and the board thought this was too high a cost for the board to shoulder the new policy is to supply free care for children in kindergarten and grade 1 then continue this on each year until eventually all the children will have it davidson a candidate cecil davidson a former council lor spoke briefly but did not indicate whether he would seek a seat or not he said he was pleased to hear the veeve give such a glowing ac count of the waterworks system and the town men in view of some re marks which had been made two years ago of a different type need weed control w o brownrldge a newcomer to town said he had a beef about lack of weed cutting around his college view home he had never been satisfied with weed control in esqueslng where his farm had been the only one without chicory and wild carrot and now that he had moved into town he found the same situation here he delayed a decision on whe ther he would seek office until tuesday im not a candidate said fred mcnally defeated in last years election last year i was the goat and they say i caused an election whoever stands this year will no doubt be accused of the same mr mcnally said he did not think it was proper in a smtul town to use such unfair tactics he had been accused of having no platform but how many other candidates had one in 1ds0 cr lyons he said had campaigned on a ridiculous idea of building a bridge at the foot of swing street cr petch had an in
