he presented at a future council meeting in moving the raise for coun cillors cr alfred syces said that council work is becoming heavier all the time a fulltime engineer might have saved necessity for it and save some 1600 of his salary he said but when an engineer is not available it throws more work on councillors 1 dont think a councillor bene fits any from the 400 he receives said cr sykes if he buys all the tickets hes asked to buy and the other calls on his pocketbook his expenses run over the 400 cr sykes said there will no doubt be criticism but the audi tor had suggested a raise when he drew up the 1958 budget and thought it justified he asked a recorded vote on the question cr harrison who seconded the motion pointed out that a coun cillor has a lot of aftermeeting work including committee meet- ings i i dont dispute the truth of i anything the movers say but a councillor should have public spirit and donate some of his time to the town there arc headaches of course but i get j pleasure from the work and feel the present allowance is suffici- ent said deputy reeve sargent he pointed out that although the auditor had budgeted for the in crease council had cut this fig ure down when striking the tax rate cr john gunn said he is mid way between the two schools of thought although feeling an 8 fee somewhat outdated he had run for council knowing that was the stipend the s13 is a 60 raise he pointed out and he could not support such a steep increase i hone council doesnt get to the point where someone is at tracted to run for the money in volved said cr ern hyde mr hyde said he had voted against a raise lasfyear when the fee was increased to 8 but had benefitted when a majority sup ported it this time he said he would reserve judgment until the vote was polled and see what others were going to do i enjoy my work as deputy- reeve and road chairman and i cannot support a raise at this time of the year said deputyreeve walter gray this has taken me by sur prise but ive never turned down a raise in pay yet cr garfield mcgilvray he point ed out that the municipal board has seen fit to allow an increase for councillors and towns like brampton have taken advantage of it indicating he would vote in favour mayor armstrong said that the dept of municipal af fairs in setting allowances which can be paid takes into consider ation the work involved in grow ing municipalities like george town the own councillors give tmctimtkiy of their time he said the sykesharrison motion re ceived voting support from mc gilvray hyde and the mayor the four opponents were sargent gray gunn and elliott presenting a sykessargent mo tion for a 1500 expense allow ance for the mayor mayor arm strong said he appreciated the sentiment but had accepted the positions responsibility at 1000 he asked for a recorded vote and said he would vote against the motion he was unanimously opposed by council however cr sykes said he estimates the mayor is paid 20c an hour for the time he spends on the job and that no mayor does a finer job than georgetowns the amount of time our mayor spends in municipal work is al most beyond belief said the reeve he has set a standard
