THE Nomination Meeting for Town Council was held in the Town | Hall, Dryden, on Monday, 29th December. T Clerk, was in charge of the proceedings. ~ Opportunity was given the retiring Councillors to give account and their opinion on the questions before the ratepayers, The first called was Dr Dingwall, chairman of the Elec. Light committee. He said his had probably been the easiest billet of all, as the electric light service was giving general satisfaction, and was being extended. He expressed appreciation of the electri- ns services, and stated that repairs and alterations were efficiently made. © ! James McFadyen, Fire and Property, said there had been few during the year.

The cemetery, he thought, should be better looked after. It should have more spent on it, and should be kept clean and orderly. Regarding the Town Hall Bylaw, he thought the proposed sum 'disproportionate to the requirements, and w in favor of large expenditures at the present time. No provision for heating the extended hall had been made, and already the cost for that item was considerable as well as unsatisfactory. William Newton, Road and Bridge, told of the difficulty of | getting labor early in the year. Later they were able to get some- | thing done, but wages had been rising all summer and the work ac- complished had proved expensive as a consequence. They had done as much as circumstances permitted. The roads, he said, had Seon. neglected for some time, and the Town ought to give them attention during the next few years, to get the streets in better shape. P. Sanderson, Police Comm., had little to report. The police duties had been well attended to, and the town had Been orderly. The policeman had been granted an increase in wagés, which he thought had been well earned. : = The retiring Mayor, J. B. Beveridge, then addressed the meeting on the general situation. He spoke of the desirability of a telephone system, and explained the purpose of the plebiscite lately taken. There had been demands from rural districts for a system, and after some delay Council had taken this step to initiate a movement, The result had not been encouraging. - He thought it ought to be under- stood that the responsibility of installing the telephone was not up to the ratepayers; it was paid for by the subscribers, who are liable: for its upkeep.

There had been much comment from townspeople as well as visitors. Council was not attempting to impose the Bylaw on the ratepayers; they only tried | to bring things to a head, and had the plans for improvement drawn up. The ratepayers now had their opportunity; if the Bylaw was turned down, they could blame no one but themselves. Regarding the Water Bylaw, he did not think the scheme feasible at present. The cost would prove too great. The fact that the Pulp Mill would no longer be free'from general taxation should not be made too much of, as the amount from that source would be but a drop in the bucket.

Campbell, called upon, stated the School Board had made | some improvement in the educational conditions, and had introduced the continuation school system here, which he thought of great benefit to the Town. H referred to the good work of the chairman, L J. Clark, who deserved great credit, as he had never spared him- self in the work of the Board. He was personally interested in the success of the electric light system, as he had had something to do with its installation. As to the Bylaws, he would draw their attention to the prices at which debentures of western towns were selling--- some as low as 81 per cent. He was doubtful if Dryden could dispose of its debentures just now except at a great sacrifice. He referred to the utility of the school well, and thought that system might be ex- : "The Old Reliable." Millan Fur ¢ | Wool Compa, a Est. 1877 ".' YOU CAN PLACE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE.
