Nearly all those asked were absent quantities however, and it fellto the lot of Mr. Geo T. Hamilton to start the ball rolling. Mr. Hamilton confined his re- marks principally to the financial statement, showing, therefrom, that the Council for the past year had kept the expenditure well be- low the estimates. The most diffi- cult problem, he said, was the col- lection of taxes, $30000 of which was still outstanding. While the war had tought municipalities to economize, , still there were many citizens who would not pay their taxes and were therefore a hind- rance to the town. Other speakers were Messrs L. | Gagnon, FE, J. Morris, J. A. Donnell} E. C. Wright and H. A.
