Ann Werry, daughter af Dr. and Mrs. John Werry drew the winning train ticket. îBilIy Smale, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Smale, King Street east, drew the winning ticket for the doll. By-law, Deputy - Reeve Green then asked the Reeve to put his reasons for refusing ta act in writing which was done and reads as follows: "I, Bruce Ashton, Reeve of the Township of Cartwright give reasons as to why I refused to sign the said By-law. My fîrst reason is that I have been in contact with the Muni- cipal Engineer in Port Hope and that he told me as far as he could see everything was in first class shape in Cartwright as far as our Road Superinten- dent is concerned. My second reason is that be- ing Reeve here for the past year I have had but minor complaints of aur Road Super- intendent. My third reasan is that I do not think at this time of year and at this meeting that we should change Road Superin- tendent, as this new man sta- ted in bis tender that he had no experience. I definitely think that this matter should be left for next year's Council." Accounts were ordered paid and adjourn tili the call of the Cler& 1oo1 Wins. qstic Trophy bury College, Ottawa.

However, the 1957 Council gave considerable thought to preserving the names of those who served as Mayors and sub- sequently decided ta purchase a suitable plaque ta be hung in the lobby, with the complete list of Mayors. Although 34 men have held the office af Mayor during the town'sfirst 100 years, it is in- teresting ta note that there have been only three municipal cletks and two of these have been in the same family. Richard Windatt was the first Clerk and his term 0fv service lasted 40 years, fromn 1857 ta 1897. John Lyle, J.P., father af the present Clerk, took over as Clerk until his son Alick assum- ed the duties in 1932. With municipal business in- creasing bath in volume and conpplexity, a strain has been placed on the existing office space. This wîll be remedied somewhat as soon as the Library is moved ta its new premises in the old Post Office. However no definite decisions have yet been made as ta how the aid Library room will be used.
