Flavelle expressed his thanks to his mover and secondcr, but he. could not be a candi' date. He felt that many people took a. wrong view of council matters. “'9 think we on doing men a great honor when we elect them to meet_alinost every night .to do our business. He thought it very unfair that so much adverse crticism should be launched. against these men. \Vhile it is per- fectly fair to crit'cize some actions, still some charity should be shown. He had been a little surprised to hear some of the objections vo'ccd by Capt. Crandell and Mr. Smyth re sewer matters. The council had taken the best advice possible, and he. had heard engineers endorse the system chosen as the best. The. people petitioned for the sewers, and it was the duty of the town council to grant the various requests as soon as possible. Mt. R. Smyth asked why the rate hid been in- creased, but he was one of the. men who in ‘93 had refused to build the bridge. The rate last your was :24 mills; this year it was 2.3 mills. and it would have sufficed if the people bad consented to borrow the money for the bridge. He had bad a. good deal to do with the council of last year and ‘19. never knew a body of men to give inch great attention to town affairs is the council for ‘99. The speaker. ifter a brief reference to Mr. i’ilkie’s after in the. \Vatchman-Worder. re- narked that a great deal had been paid about secret sessions. but it was possible that the council were pro- tecting themselvesâ€"ho knew that a meeting he had attended early in the year had been very unfairly report- ed in The Evening l-‘ost. (Applause). Mr. J. H. Sootheran followed Mr. Flavelle. After thank- ing‘his mover and seconder. he said he would like to attend to Mr. Kylie first. The rate had been struck this year at 25 mills. )fr. Kylie and Mr. Sr‘nyth wanted to know why it Iliad been increased. Well, in the first place. the town's income had been con- siderably less than it was last. year. there being reductions in the items of liquor licenses, petty l'censes, circus, market. butchers“ licenses. etc. amounting in all to $910: than the aggregate of assessment was lower this year than last, m'iking it necess- ary to add the extra. mill over last year. The 1 3-10ths mills had been imposed to pay for the: bridge. There had also been a $400 payment to the House of Refuge. left unsettled by Mr. F. C. Taylor â€"“Thc sum of 8200 was placed in last year's estim- ates to cover that. The claim was too large.” Mr. Soothernnâ€"“That ed in your cash." Mr. Taylorâ€""The auditor told me. it ms not. " , )Ir. Soothemnâ€"“Mr. Smytb declared :hn‘t last year’s council left a surplus )f $2.000; the auditor reports 8781 ivnilable ‘in cash.” Mr. Taylorâ€"“Is that the report of the final auditorsâ€"Col. Deacon and )Ir. Eagleson ?” Mr. Sootheranâ€"“I’ll make room for you Mr. Taylor, if you like. More than thatâ€"we paid this year $2,000 of ac- counts left unpaid by last year’s councilâ€"$2,036.36, to b: exactâ€"3nd we have left no accounts for next year’s council.” Continuing, the speaker said the low costs. had exceeded last year’s figures and tho council had a]- so to provide 81.000 for the Free Li- brary and $2,000 for the Rider Kitchener bonus. If the people voted for these bylaws and expected the rate to remain the same. he could tell them that it was imposs'ble. Suppose your taxes are increased. houses renting for 88 formerly now command $9. and if a. man’s taxes are raised $2.50 and he won get 31 more per month for a house: kn’t he makinz money. gentlemen? Mr. Malian-“Will you tell usuvltero the $4.000 raised over last year went to ?,1 Chairmanâ€"“When Mr. Soothemn gets through you can trike the plat- form. Mr. Malian.” Mr. Soothers“: said he had been a. resident of Lindsay for 26 years and didn’t believe in penurious ways..Put the old council book and in f-ve years the town would double its present pop- ulation. Clpt. Crandell’s objection to sewers was very weak. as (ill engineers say the aspirate system is the ligst. It would not ow to sink sewers 1-0:- 15 feet to c1rry off storm water when shallow drains will answer. As. for the, engineer’s s'il-iry. we gave him}; commiss'rm of 4 per cent.

[V l l introduced the humor of the evening. He opened by saying he did not intend to offer ; be had hiiil n liti in experience in municipal affairs, but perhaps it would/be as well not to say anything about it. He was chairman of the street and bridge committee. and as. it was no secret he would say he was "fit- ed" inside of six months. He had to on ll his committee every morning ; once he forgot and sent some. men to the cast ward to lift an old sidewalk. He come near being arrested for it. he thought; any way, he was dismissed, and all he had to say was that the? day he was “fired” was the happiest of his. life. He had been given credit for doing ‘a good deal for the south ward --it was a game of catch-aa-catch-can. and he had to admit. that he put his ward in pretty good shape. He would look the crowd of candidates over, and if there were no better men than him- self he might stand. . (Great applause). Mir. A. D. Mallon returned think; for his 15th nom'ii.:- tion; he had served 11 years in coun- cil. .\\'h.at he wished to say was, he could not give his approval to th'sl yen r’s council for one solitary :ict. His own record was a good one-he had been the means of bringing Rfder Se Kitchener to Lindsay; he had been the first to correspond with Mr. Baal, and h’ld met that gentleman later in Toronto at his own expense. He hfld a great respect for Mr. Soothernn and would entrust him with any business â€"outside of that of the town. Mr. Sootheran talked about building up the . town, while he (Malian) had not talk- rd. but acted. Giving work to our men helps to build up a town. hiring outsiders will not. Mr. Pllkie had stated thit he would rather havo‘ the profits of Mr. McKnighi's scwei con- tract thin two years’ salary. At this point Mr. Lennon interrupted. and Mr. Mallon said the action was part: of the game of the. old. council to choke off discussion. Why do you do busi- ness in secretâ€"why don’t you act iii the open. like men? You held .1 srcret session of council last night to pass a lot of accounts. There isn't .1. street in town fit to drive a load of wood on after all the money spent and hizlz taxation. No other council ever voted themselves $3 a day for court of revision work. The members had drawn '85? each. and at last meeting voted ihemselves 83 more for Francis- ct. (Chairman.mlled the time Lnnt. but it was extended. Mir Horn object- ing). Resuming. Mr. Mallon s-ud be bid not intended to say a word con- cerning the improvements Mr._Horn managedio secure- in. front of his own remiscs. pMossra. .T. D. Gran-mi and D. Sinclair Nvere called for, but failed to respond. - Mr. Alex. Horn re:ponded when his name was called. .Th: only charge against him. he i ihought,.was the one made by the last 1 ipeakcr. He appealed to Mayor W1!- ' tens if it was through any act of his , that the street opposite his factory hid been improved after the sewer was built. and a new walk built. Why, )Ir. Mallon hzid advocated the walk for sci'eral years. The speaker tlieu refcied to a remark concerning the assessment on his factory and Said he had asked no favors and obtained nothing but the fixing of the assess- ment. If he had not been in council he would not have been so modest. He felt that the increase they had made in their business justified more than had been given. He would not be a candidate, as his business would demand allhis time. In his opinion all business men should take a turn at serving the town in council. He would say to the peopleâ€"don’t criticize un- necessarilyâ€"men in council cannot help making mistakes, like other people. yet no one seems to make the same allow- ance for them. People had heard re- ports about councillors taking money for work on the court of revision. but could anyone in‘the audience afford to attend to that business without pay? Mr. Malian had forgotten to mention that he had applied to be reimâ€" bursed for his expenses in connection with the factories‘ he talked so much about. Mr. Malianâ€"“1 only asked for rail- way expenses one way.” Continuing, Mr. Horn referred to the agitation in ‘97 for a model road to the station; money had been appro- printed and some wanted it expended, while others did not, believing that it would be necessary in a year or two to tear up the roadway and build a sewer. The money had been diverted to Lindsay-st. and time had proved the wisdom of that, yet the papers had Criticized the action taken. \Vhy, some one writing in tbs papers had claimed that this year's council had paid more for the street bridge than last year’s council could have got it for. The writer forgot to tell that the bridge decided upon by last year’s council had wooden trusses. LL'iyor Wailersâ€"”Yea, and under the conditions the town would have had to supply the timber and put: them In." In conclusion Mr. Horn said that. if he had made enemies he had done so conscientiously." (Applause). . Capt. Crandell was called but failed to ‘make his appearance. Mr. Jas. Lennon was in fighting trim and easily carried off the honors of the evening; for fluency and impassioned periods. {the present was his fifth year in council, and every time there had been the some old cry “What a set of rascals they were!” He was willing to leave his record as chairman of the town” property committee to the; proper judgesâ€"the people. .He. had enâ€" deavored ’to serve’them faithfully and well. All .were‘ liable to do wrong occasionally. '.People talk about the. faults. of the ’99 council. but he could tell them that‘thoy had never elected a body of men who had 'tried to serve the town as faithfully-why. they'had . held 1'10 meetiigs dorms the-year. g ['4’ 7. sonally he had sacrificed. not only vii time- lmLhig. health... also.

Rider Sr. Kitchener and. 33:11 factories and a Free Library, and in order to give them these the rate had to be advanced. Mr. Malian told them about the court of revision. but v'when the people asked for a new, sewer a court had to be held and the law fixed the price. The members had received about $60 each and because of that they were accused of rubbing the town. Mr. Malianâ€"“Isn’t 82’. per day the usual rate 3" ~ Mr. Lennon said if they had charg- ed too much the people had the remedy in their own hands. Mr. Mullen did not know what he was talking about -he Was the man who wanted. to get the job of painting the fire alarm boxes and so take work away from the poor painters. A great uproar had been made about the money paid to the engineer and inspector of side- walks. it is doubtful if he knew enough to act as inspectorâ€"could anyone 31y where he ll'ld obtained his exper'ence- on granolithic walks? Mr. Framptonâ€"“He got it years ago in England." Mr. Lennon said he was glad tolicar it. At any rate. who was in a position to say that the walks were not in. a good walks. The previous council was no better than the present oneâ€" fibers was nothing to hide. A great deal had been said about private meetings. but he would challenge The Post to say when the town had lost Si as a. re- sult .of them. Citizens can get all the information they desire at the clerk‘s office. The police had been referred to by Capt. Crandell. \Veli. Night Constable Reeves had been offered so much by the bank managers to turn n register clock a certain number of times every night, and. he could tell them, as a man living on Kent-ah that there had never been better order on the street than since the arrange- ment went into affect. He (Lennon) had given them a fence on the market square. nfler half-ii-dozen councils had failed. The fire bridge had been a disgrace to the town, but he had grappled with it and had appointed a new captain; although there might be :1 little friction at the. sfarf. .buf hf the end of 12 months he was satis- fied the town would have a brigade tint would be a credit instead of a disgrace, as at present. People want- ed the town to go ahead, and must be willing to pay the cost. He would not be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Alex. Jackson said he came before thepeople the first time last year. He had had one year’s experience in council, and while it had. been pleasant it m.ght be pru- dent not. to offer again. His record was before them. The secret meetings hid been referred to by Capt. Cran- dell and others, and. it was claimed that the public suffered because they did not know who originated business in councilâ€"it was feared that some shining light might fail to get credit where deserved. The council had no desire to push sewers faster than the people petitioned for them. They had been compelled to employ outside méfi as engineer and inspector because home men could not be got. As for the change made in the duties of night policeman, it was the best thing done during the yearâ€"the banks had to‘ be protected and the arrangement keeps the policeman attentive to his duties. If Mr. Mallon would look up the statutes he would find that a court of reviswn had to be held to adjust the acsessmont for each sewer petitioned for, and the councillors had not claim- ed the full sum to which they were entitled by law. They had been blam- ed for increasing the salaries of the clerk and auditor, but the work of ‘both officials had been almost. doubled, and ’he didn’t think there was a clerk in ~the province with equal duties who was as poorly paid as Mr. Knowlson. The amount paid in salaries last year was $5,799.53 ; this year, 85,540.80; An- other lliing-wlion llie council of '98 came in they found 81,400 left on hand by the council of ’97, but they went out leaving only 8600 or 8700 in the treasury. He was not certain that he would be a candidate ; if he decided to stand they would see his card in the papers. - Messrs. L. V. O'Connor and Robt. Chambers were. called, but did not re- spond. I . . Mr. Richard .Toucliburn said he was not'going to criticize the outgoing councilâ€"he had been there himself; as all lune-w, he had served the town for nine years, and. for six or seven years he had been' chairman. of the s‘treet‘and bridge committeeâ€"or board of works,‘ as it is now called. While in that position he had home his share of criticism [Io had been laughed at by the prose and Mr. A. hf. Campbell, provincial road commis- sioner, for burying stone in mud-holes. yet, the town commissioner had done the same thing with Mr. Campbell’s advice. It was the/only plan unless the mud was causeway. and that would be costly. If elect’edhe would serve the town as faithfully as before. Messrs. ‘Sootbran. Wdllfléelly, Ingle and Newton were called, but did not respond. ' - . . _ _‘Rsv.-J. W}. Nacmillan -, _‘ thanked hie mover and seconds: for msmhm.

This wound up the formidable list of makers. and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up at 11 o'clock. Broke a Rib.
