Att ation of the actions of Figary and Rundle, At the outset of this report two facts might be stated: 1 It is impossible to give a complete report of all that was Fstud of all the facts in detail could any correct judgment be formed. art hs of 4 2 The editor of thi has no brief for either of the coat paauior Of this naper by because of lack of backbone, but because we believe that both: Mr. Figary and Mr. Rundle have done good work for the town at great personal sacrifice, 'and with not go much as "Thank You" for their trouble. The whole system of accepting a man's services without pay, is unfair in the extreme; and the general attitude of the ratepayers toward their municipal officers is such that it will be increasingly difficult'to secure good men for municipal councillors. In fact, the whole present system should be abolished. A town commissioner should be appointed, who should be paid for his services and retain his office because he makes good, and runs the affairs of the town in a businesslike manner. Councils then could be consulting bodies. : 000 . The gist of Mr. Figary's charge against Mr. Rundle was that he had improperly used his office, while in the municipal council, for his own profit; shat he neglected to make proper entries regarding his personal dealings with the council, and ~ that these accounts were only settled by Mr. Rundle under compulsion. Mr. Figary further stated that after Mr. Rundle had been head of the Electric Light and Waterworks Depart- ment for two years, matters both financial and otherwise were Be] in a deplorable condition. When:Mr Figary assumed office in January last, he promised to be able to tell the ratepayers just how much money-had been spent by his. department, and for what the money was spent. Ih lise waa kept and .Mr. Figary presented a complete report of the work of the E. {,. & WwW. W. as, He showed a wonderful knowledge of detail, and has a special aptitude for gathering financial and legal information. He spoke for an hour and a half, and is --a clear and forceful debater. "oi Mr. Rundle in his reply stated that his dealings with the town in the matter of electric light supplies were not profit- able to him; that he bought Mr. Clay's stock for the town, and that when the town did not buy the stock, he could not afford to keep the stock in a glass case, and refuse to do business be- cause he was a member of the Council; that when Mr. Tinsley did wiring for him, the town made a profit of $1.72 per day over Mr. insley's wages, that he paid Mr.Tinsley $5.00 a day, which was the amount he paid to an electrician from Oshawa. who completed the work in hand when objection was made to his use of Mr. Tinsley; that in the case where his stock was lent to the town, he lost money beeause he had to buy new stock to replace what was not returned; that the electrical in- stallation undertaken by him was almost entirely out of town, and did not interfere with the business of the E.L. & W.W.: that there was no attempt to canceal his dealings with the Council, and that he paid his account as soon as it was proper- ly rendered, without compulsion. 2 Much more was said by both parties; but it was evident that only by a close, unprejudiced study of all the facts and documents could one hope to arrive at a proper decision in the matter. It is thoroughly agreed by all concerned that a much more accurate account of the town finances should be available than has been given for'many years back. It is the first time that ~we have knewn any councillor to take the personal interest in thering statistics that Mr. Figary has shown. The town is of that kind of service. It is alsoin-need of the ser- vice of men like Mr. Rundle, who do things, and who are able to go to bodies like the County Co secure their good- al an ir go - will and su; for Port Perry.

But it must be "ready-made." They'll not take, the trouble to make it for them. selves. Indeed, 'any town that does not provide ready-made amusement 1s a "dead hole' The ready-made amusement "fan" is a wonderful product, whose pass word to enjoymept is--*'Soak ijt home," and who®¥tets his biggest fun out of bullying the umpire and the players on the opposition team. Isn't it obout time that your boy and mine should be taught how to play, instead of '"bully- ragging" the other fellow ? We cannot hope to have good sport if only about twenty people in the town play, and the rest of the folk are rooters or indifferent: to the game. Good sport requires proper training and practice. We ought to be training our young folk to play. It is quite as ro: that they should learn the lessons of endurance and fair play than it is that they learn historic dates or any of the usual branches of book learning. Endurance and fair play are necessary to good citizenship. Our young people should be trained how to play.
