Bucke Township's Council Answers Haileybury's Mayor The Reeve and Council of the Township of Bucke have issued the following answer fo-an article appearing in last week's paper concerning Mayor Cooke's views on the forthcoming cancellation ot Bucke's contract with the Temiskaming Health Unit: "In regard to statements and criticisms directed at the Coun- cil and citizens of our municipal- ity, voiced at a recent Health Unit meeting in New Liskeard by Mayor A. H. Cooke, and pub- lished in The Haileyburian dated January 27th, we would like space for rebuttal, His remark, namely, that muni- cipalities who vote to withdraw or abstain from the Health Unit scheme retreat into the Dark Ages is rather broad, to say the least; for he indirectly must in- clude the modern and progress- ive City of North Bay, and sur- rounding municipalities who re- cently turned down the Health Unit plan. He claims Bucke's withdrawal from the Health Unit is a poten- tial menace to Haileybury; that he Citizens of Bucke will auto- matically become carriers of dis- ease to their restaurants and theatres. A fine statement from a person holding public office! Have the owners of these busi- ness establishments objected to Our patronage? We think not! He might more truthfully have said that contamination is spread through the dumping of town refuse along the side road of our municipality.. His utterance, so basely mean, is without precedent. We would advise the Mayor of our neighboring town to more carefully consider the circum- stances involved, before jumping to condemn others for what they believe to be right. We have al- ways been noted for looking aiter the health of our citizens; and previous to the Health Unit Idea, we were one of the first townships in the District of Tem- iskaming to have the service of a Health Nurse. He need not question our ability to obtain a like service again. Furthermore, we cannot un- derstand how our fire protection problems came under discussion at a Health Unit meeting. How- ever, it may be of some comfort to the Mayor to know that our Agreement with the Town of Co- balt, and their Fire Department, protects our township most effi- ciently from Mileage 104 up to, and including the Town-line of Haileybury; and, if our present negotiations are successful with the New Liskeard Council, and their Fire Department, who are at least sympathetic to our prob- lem, the protection of the North- ern Section of our Township will also be in capable hands.
