On this historic occasion, ] am wearing the Cobalt mayor's chain of office and I am wondering if it would be possible for you to come to the Town office and have your picture taken with me, as it will most likely be retained in the Co- balt archives as a commemora- tion of this event.

Allard was the only member of council] unable to be present at a special meeting held,on Saturday afternoon to consider a communication from the chief supervisor of Municipal Affairs, J. W. B. Carter, regard- ing the heating unit at the pump house. The content of the letter is as follows: "The Town of Haileybury is still subject to the provisions of Part 3 of the Department of Mu- nicipal Affairs Act and in conse- quence, I would refer you to Sec- tion 33 thereof, a copy of which is endorsed for your considera- tion. From a perusal of Section 33 of the Department of Municipal Affairs Act, you can see that this Department has equal responsi- bility when illegal contracts are entered into, be they in writing or verbal, Would you please advise whe- ther or not tenders were called for this work and whether or not contracts were entered into in regard tothe work, If there was no formal contract, please advise how the bid of A. C. Dempster for $1,600.00 was accepted and deal with by your Council. y As Mr. P. H. Murphy, Super- visor, pointed out in his commu- nication of October. 17th last, if Mr. Dempster's bid was _ for $1,- 600.00, then he should be made to live up to his bid without any extras. I have been vise you that no accounts willbe approved by this Department for the payment of the heating unit until this Department is notified of the resignation from Council of Mr. A. C Dempster, ~ If 4 Dempster does not wish to resigi® from Council, then Council should t call for public tenders for the heating unit. I have been instructed to re- quest from you assurance that in the year 1952, there has hot been nor will be any payments to councillors who contravene the provisions of Section 56 (1) (q) of the Municipal Act. Tt is not felt that- Council should over- ride the law purely to keep the business within it's municipal boundaries." The section referred to is head- ed "disqualification" and states that "the following shall not be eligible to be elected a member ot Council or be entitled to vote therein. A person having himself or by or with or through another the corporation or witn anv com- mission or pefson acting for the corporation or in any contract for the supply of goods or mater- ials to a contractor for work for which the corporation pays or is liable directly or indirectly to pay or which is subject to the control or supervision of the council or of an officer of the corporation, or who has an unsatisfied claim for such goods or materials." "Tn conclusion, I would like to point out that the Department will not approve of the Town of Haileybury exceeding the amount of $1,600.00 which was placed in the estimates ment sheets showing Mr. Demp- ster as payee are being deleted until this matter is settled."- Each item in the letter was considered by Council during the two-hour _ session. Although Councillors Poppleton and Demp- ster handed written resignations to Mayor Cooke, they were re- fused for the time being and the meeting closed after a decision to write to the Department ex- plaining the situation, Mayor Cooke's reply to Mr. Carter read as follows: "I wish to advise you that there Was no contract between Mr. Dempster and the Town of Hail- eybury. This matter was mere- ly discussed at a regular meeting in January when it was decided to install a more efficient heating system. Mr Dempster and Mr. Briden got together and the fig- ures were only a rough estimate of what the cost might be, It was Mr. Dempster's intention with the approval of the Council tocharge 15% over the invoicel price of the furnace and other equipment and install the new system. It was the intention to use all the old pipe and fittings which were in good condition in the new installation. ~The Council is sure that this plan would save the Town and the 'taxpayers a _ substantial amount of money and to date the only expense has been the wages ot the Town labourers who were é __ysed in spare time. instructed to aq "| P As far as Mr, Dempster is con- cerned, he is removing the equip- ment from the pump house imme- diately, over the objections of the other members of Council. Ve still feel that our original (*-= was in the best interests of taxpayers and we would be 'used if you can advise us of some plan of securing this equip- ment from Mr, Dempster before it is returned as it is the time of year when heat is needed every day.-- The Council is not agreeable to having anyone except the Town labourers do this work un- der good supervision as the price would be $2.25 per hour for out- side help as against 92c for our own men, Re paragraph eight of your letter, Mr. Dempster has done the odd repairs for the Town and at the present time there is thir- ty odd dollars outstanding, The P-F hardware has done consider- able electrical work in connec- tion with the installation of the new pumps and the accounts paid Ladies of C.W.L.
