Cooke's Out Millar May Stand Wanted--a Mayor. Council held its last regular meeting be- fore nominations Monday, and wrapped up most of its routine business. In the race for the mayoralty, nobody seems eager to run. Art Cooke has told the Haileyburian that he is not running for any council position. Mayor H. A. Day says that barring some catastrophe, noth- ing can persuade him to run again. Councillor Dan Millar is gen- erally considered the most likely candidate, but at press time he was out of town, and not avail- able for comment. Members of the council don't know whether Mr. Millar intends to stand for mayor or not. Some say he will, others say he won't. It is gen- erally conceded that in his own field of finance, there are few in town with comparable experie- nce or ability. At the same time Mr. Millar's insistance on hew- closely to the budget line would not likely indicate any great programme of improvements or expansion. Mr. Day feels that he has been at least 50% successful. He has stood for law and order and bet- ter roads. The town has been xnilet, but the potholes show no sign of reducing. } REMEMBRANCE DAY DINNER The Ladies Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion held their an- nual turkey supper on Friday evening, Nov. 11th, in the Leg- ion Hall with a large crowd in attendance. W. Inch Vice-President of the Legion was chairman. After the Toast to the Queen, proposed by F. Thompson, the National Anth- em was sung and Rev. C. Good- ier, pastor of the Anglican Church offered up a iprayer. W. Inch proposed a toast to the fall- en Comrades and L. Simard one to the Ladies. Mrs. C. Fleming, President of the Ladies Auxil- iary responded to the latter toast in a fitting manner. During the evening there was community singing with Jack White at the piano, also W. Joy entertained the gathering with several selections in his usval witty way. J. H. Sumbler of New Liskeard was the guest speaker, and gave a talk on his trip to England this past summer which was very interesting. TOWN OF HAILEYBURY Nomination Meeting NOTICE is hereby given that the annual meeting for Nominations for the Office of MAYOR, COUN- CILLORS and MEMBERS of the BOARD of EDU- CATION will be held in the Council Chambers, Ferguson Avenue, fomr 8.00 to 9.00 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 24th 1955 And Notice is futher given that in case a Poll is necessary, such Poll shall be held on Monday, Dec. Sth 1955, :from the hour of 9.00 a.m. until-6.00 p.m. C. C. D. Pringle, Returning Officer Bucke Township held its nom- inations Tuesday evening, with more than 250 taxpayers turning out for the township's annual evening of 'entertainment and criticism. The battle for the reeveship will be between Harry Groom, stormy North Cobalt politician, and the present reeve, Charles Courtemanche. Mr. Courtemache thanked the council for its co-operation, and denied charges by Mr. Groom that he was under the dominat- ion of Councillor Chester Hop- kins. Mr. Groom replied that co- understandable, operation was as it was a case of the _ blind leading the blind, and various councillors replied with uuykind remarks about Mr. Groom. Mr. Courtemanche said _ that the council had done its best to spend the taxpayers money wise- ly, had tried to get better fire protection for the township, and had gone to a great deal of trouble to investigate the fire protection nroblem, Mr. Courtemanche thanked the councillors for their co-operation and also paid a tribute to the work of township clerk Harvey Switzer, and the assistance rend_ ered by the ddpartment of high- way's road foreman, Archie Fleming. Harry Groom took the floor, and said that he didn't want to criticise Mr. Courtemanche, and he didn't blame the council for having a high tax rate. He then went to town on the council for everything from wasting time to wasting gravel. He said that the Council went to Toronto-on a jaunt,to inspect a rotting, rusty fire engine. That they had deposited countless loads of gravel in a bottomless pit on the west road, hired a bro- ken down diamond drill rig to drill at eight dollars a foot, and a surveyor to look down the dia- mond drill hole at fifty dollars a look. Mr. Groom said that he was in favor of giving the Wabi Iron Works a reduced assessment on the Canadian Splint Factory, pro- viding there was a proper gua- rantee given that it would be us- ed for manufacturing. Chester Hopkins answered most of Mr. Groom's criticisms, and in a momentof stress sum- marized them by referring to a male bovine. He said that last year was the first time in 11 years that any real road work had been done in the rural areas, and the Council Was trying to get away from a policy of patching, but instead was trying to make permanent roads wherever possible. As far as the bottomless pit was concerned Mr. Hopkins, said a permanent repair job done where a bridge had been washed away on the West Road. He said that the council had taken the advice of the department of highways, and replaced the bridge with a culvert and gravel fill. He denied Mr. Groom's charge of wasting time and money on a trip to Toronto to see a rust) fire engine. He said that the cou- neil went at the expense of the fire engine company, and that the engine in question was in top shape, had only 6,000 miles on the speedometer, had been stationed only two miles from the LaFrance manufacturing plant, where it had been serviced and had been approved by the underwriters. "Tam glad that we attempted something to get better fire pro- tection. It didn't turn out the way we expected, but now it looks as if we will have an agree- ment with Haileybury, and I.am glad," he said. Mr. Hopkins revealed that most of the legal details involved in making an agreement with Haileybury for fire protection have now been clarified with the department of municipal affairs. Bucke plans to purchase an in- terest in a fire engine to be bought by MHaileybury, which will be written off at the rate of $1,500. a year, the same amount as the annual standby charge The townhsip will use $7,500. of a surplus of $8,900 to buy the truck. Later in the evening, Mr. Groom said that no doubt there had been good cooperation in the council, as it was a case of the blind leading the blind. Mr. Hopkins said that Mr. Groom was trying to cast dowbt and confusion in the minds of the ratepayers, and that the council in the [past year had done more constructive work than had been done in all the years Mr. Groom was reeve. In'a general discussion on the proposed fixed assessment on the former splint factory, the council asked the audience for a show of hands on whether or not a fixed assessment should be granted. The vote was unayim- ously in favor.. When things got dull Harvey Plaunt entertained with recitat- ions, and was the only recipient of unanimous applause.
