Regarding the debenture debt he said 'the picture is much better thin®the figures would lead you-to helieve," Councillor Santer opened his re- marks with comments on the large crowd ich was in attendance and filled all chairs in the hall. "What n difference three elections make. Three years ago they came and asked me to stand. for council . . . and to- night you have 17 nominees for coun- 'eillors, This i8 a good . . . healthy sign . . . Certainly this is not a dy- ing town . . . when you look at the turnout tonight." . In reporting on the Hydro work he announced that half the job of changing over the town to heavy wire was complete. "We put in_15 new. streetlights during the year . We aim at filling the black spots in town and are trying to instal them evenly throughout the town, The new lights are 2 or four-way heams." * Mr, Santer said. that although the hydro account was in-a healthy con- dition the water board was not so well . .. but explained this was due to the new water tank which if it had not been caught in time might have caused serious damage and additional expenses later. He reported that 21 new water services were installed and 'sid that applications for services held back this year due to extra expendi- tures on the tank would be considered fn 1853. The water chairman also explained that the expenditure of $708.85 for a right angle drive covered new equipment that would allow sec- ondary pumping method should their be a hydro break during an emer- gency.

Mr. Tease also told of an ex- tra job he did in taking charge of the work seeing that a new roof was put on_the town hall, "I was given au- thority by council and it cost us $1, 108.26 . .. this roof has a 20 year bond and I'll personally stand for the full amount." --I enjoyed work In council. I worked with a good council and they taught me a lot. Believe me one year there is better than a high school education, Reeve Peel--"I fully intended to ré- tire from Counell . . . but right now I don't know what Pm going to do." He commended councillors for their efforts--'They did the job well' and especially thanked the Legion for their 'VERYONE--_ AN FROM. . ..

Dr, Dymond in thanking his pros poser and seconder of his name for Reeve said he felt honoured to feel they thought he was still of use to the village. He also: congratulated council for their efforts and referred to the mounting costs throughout the years. ."Educations costs are higher . however education is most essen- tial . . . and our job as ratepayers is to give youth similar opportunities for a "high, school, university educa- tion." didn't know whether he would: make a good Reeve or not and felt he would not have veth "time to do the job, but indicated he would consider the nom- ination for councillor, William Carnegie also thanked his nominators but said he would declink, "We have a man in the chair now who couldn't be better." He drew a laugh from the crowd when he added his sympathy to the councillors in their position, . Ernest Hayes complimented: council on the full details they gave 'the rate- payers and commended them for the eareful consideration they gave to expenditures. He also thanked coun- cil for the co-operation they gave him as Reeve and he pointed to the many new improvements including new homes, 'first class water system', new arena, new. schgol. and new hospital, which were complied in his six years in council. « . Former Reeve and ex-warden Merle Letcher, in congratulating council for their work referred to the younger calibre of councillors or candidates of recent years. "We should have a real good council this year." In.commend- ing the outgoing council for helping run town business he termed it as one of the main business in Port Perry. He also referred to changes in the Reeveship and said he was sorry Mr. Hayes didn't remain as he said that the village might have been honoured with .a Warden ... + the first since 1937, had he not resigned. Like Mr. Hayes he withdrew his name 'as a candidate, ; Tv Sam Griffin: "I won't say yes or no right now whether I'm going to stand or not , ."however I must thank council for the efficient manner they conducted business. --One thing 1 think council should bear in mind is the need for a sanitary sewer system. The former councillor said he |- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26th, 10528 This .is needed badly and I appre- ciate this will mean higher taxes but Port Perry is going to hit a stalemate unless we put in sewers. This vil- lage can grow to 5,000 in population in five years." Harold R. Archer a HOMMIGE "for council was called but was not pre- sent, J. J, Gibson in thanking his proposers said that he realized it was a big responsibility for a few men to conduct the affairs of 'a town, "I'm not saying tonight whether I'll stand ..others here have the ability , and I would not cause an election."

MeDermott; Cam Mee Master, Ed Michell, Bill Beare all spoke briefly with only Mr, McMaster stating definately he world not bé i candidate for council.
