I have been three years in Coun- cil and w years your Reeve. Dur- ing ail that time I have acted on my judgment solely with the in- terests of the whole community at heArt. My aim has been te keep the tax rate within bounds and pro- vide at the same time the fullest measure of public services. No new work bas been undertaken without careful study and com- plete information. New lhghting has been provided on the front street and I should like te see this extended. A new heating system has been provided for the schôol and our Fire Departmeut bas been main- taineçi at a high level of efficiency. Jndeed ail public services have received careful attention. As a resuit of careful financing we have a surplus of $2.000, and are in a position ta strike a budget without any in- crease in the tax rate. One of my chief interests bas been to maintain law and order and I propose ta continue that peiicy if re-elected, for it is of the flr§t intereAt in any self-respecting community. For the coming year I advocate a permanent improvement on the road ta the lake which can be financed without increasing the levy. In co-operation with C. E. Stephenson, M.P., arrangements are gaing forward for harbor imprevements and conditions will be made much more attractive at the beach for residents and taurists. Consideration wiil aise be given te arranging a more per- manent system of police protection. In brief my platform is ta make Newcastle a better place in which ta live and work, ta at- tract tourist patronage and ta keep the tax rate as low as pos- sible. May I express thanks ta the management of the Newcastle Community Hall for the fine donation of $500 as remuneration ta the caretaker and toalal who have co-operated in promoting municipal interests. I wish also ta congratulate the School Board for building up a surplus which has obviated asking the Council for financial assistance and is a further measure of relief ta the taxpayers. Please accept my best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Faithfully yours, GEORGE A. WALTON. Social and Persona-l Mrs. John Orr, Rydal Bank, Ont., spent Sunday with her aunt, Mrs. W.
