Mr. Telfm-d made a few remarks but added nothing to what had already been said. fact that Durham school stands higher in the subject. of Psychology than either of the schools at Owen Sound or Meaford.

IS In concluding his remarks and‘ seek-- ing the support of the ratepayers, he . said he had no apology to offer in ask- ' ing for a "second term only,” and he . thought that he should be elected. ; Mr. Hunter held the position for three years without opposition and thought he should be elected for asecond term. ! He also appealed to the electors on the iground of much unfinished work left over by this year’s Council. I Mr. A. S. Huntr‘z stated thathe had f been requested by a number of the il‘iltepayers to contest the Meyoralty. Mr. Calder and his Council having l done nothing the pressure was brought I upon him and he consented to come out. The Cguncil of 1906 raised the : assessment $77,000 and also got $1,500 from the C. P. R. The school wanted $5000 or $2033 more than the Councxl of 1907 had to give. The roll for 1906 l was $11410 and for 1907 is 331095745. The fire by-law he admitted takes in a little too much area, but he. was until: favor of it. Mr. Caldetmwas fighting the by-law nearly all summer, His lawyer says it is a. good by-law. He did not give the ratepayer the ad- Vantages promised them last year and no'w'he was trying to bait them with visions of new industries that he would bring into effect if eiected. Mr. Calder’s taxes this year are $26 less than last year, notwithsta' ding th= higher assessment. Mr. Calder, ‘ he Arnuory-â€"-Read a letter from H. H. Miller in relation to the. echnditure of $2.500 by the Gm'ernment- in the erection of an armory provided the Council buy the site. There are $3500 to provide for what We are behind this year. Bridge By-lawâ€"To ask fur deben- tures of $4000 to build a. bridge on Garat‘raxa Street. He is of opinion that $5000 is n9(:e‘~szu'y. The hy-lzuv is to extend over 20 years and the cost- will not exceed an increase of more than about half a mill in the yearly tax'rate. Two By lawsâ€"Local Opt.ionâ€".-Sub- mitted on accmmt of l. petition being signed by a requisite number of ratepayers. ‘Would not go in to dis- cuss the By-law. It was a moral question which every ratepayer has a right to look into and to vote acc "rdiug to the dictates of conscience. As Mayor. he thought it his duty to re- frain from taking an active part. Should he be elected Mayor he will do his du'y in case the local option by 11w passes; he will endeavor to see that the law in that respect is fully Carried out. Every voter on the list has a right to vote on the by-law. Impossi- ble that vote should be challenged and hoped there would he no efl’ort at wholesale swearing. Cream Separator Plant â€"-Did not comply “fith initial requirements. and owing ton technicality the mortgage did not fall due until October. Previ- i 0115 to this date they went into liqui- I dation. Council demanded full tnxa-i tion as the Company in 1907 had not? complied With the conditions. Does! not think there is much possibility of3 rem Wei-ing the amount of the 11101-th ge now due. Advised starting of plant, I a o ‘ i tried to do so but failed. bees now a. . possibility of setting it going at ani early date. Only one thing to dependI on now is to increase our industries and to revive this one particularly. no Fire Byolawâ€"Limits extended in 1906, but found objectionable in the. early part of 1907. Felt confidentthat Fire By-law _was too stringent. Did not suit majority, as it prohibited the erection of certain class of build- ings in residential portions of the town. Got information from other towns, notably Mt. Forest (business), Hanover no by-lzuv, Palmerston (busi- ness), Harriston (does not include residential portion of town). Smoke N nisanceâ€"Used means to have it abated, but on account of recent legislation giving privileges to smelters. etc. Notwithstanding this legislation he has good advice and reason to believe that the Company can be forced to abate the smoke nuisance. Much of the lower town property is practically destroyed. Railway Crossingsâ€"Though an un- derground crossing was desired by the residents it was found to be impractic- able, but he felt confident that sufli- cient protection would be given, as he had been led so to believe from an engineer of the Railway Commission who was here recently. rounding towns where much larger debenture debts are carried: J.

Mr. Laidlaw referred to the great- ness of last year’s promises, and e.\- ,pressed tiisaplmintment at seeing so little done. He never remembered a council that did so little business as the council of 1907. Could not say who was to blame for the diSCul‘d and for so little being aceomplished. Did not like to hear glowing promises of new industries when we, were unable to retain the ones we have. He be- lieved if the council had been a'unit the Cream Separator Factory would be running to-day. Thought the council should bedas lenient as possible and give a . chance to get. the factory in operation. Glad to hear that we are going to get some. Government support. Glad to feel that we have a prospect of getting post office boxes. Thought the debt we are facing for 1908 will be about $3500 more than we had this year. Regretted that the assessment has been raised. VVill vote for the local option by-law and he is conscientious indoiug so. l l s l l Mr. Saunders came back to the. plat- form and explained that the council had an es'imate of the bridge and re.- ferred to asimilar bridge which cost 3133500.~ He didn’t say anything about local option, but if returned he was prepared to do as much for local option as Mr. Laidlaw. Councillorsâ€"Thomas Nichol, Mike Kenny. John A McMillan, Malcolm Black, Edwin W, Hunt, Wm. Weir. Reeveâ€"Samuel Dickson. J. Wilson. Mr. Saunders referred. to‘ his elec- tion last year, the efforts to disqualify him and his subsequent election by ac- clamation. With pride he referred to his success in the County Council in keeping down the assessment or Dur- ham to $450,000 after a. strong effort had been made to raise it to half a million.. He referred to the House of Refuge and other matters after which he asked to be elected for ”a second term only. Mr. Jackson explained some finan- cial questions but did not feel it to be his duty as treasurer to take an active part in the matter. “We have $6056 next year. The total amount of our liabilities is over $10,000 and we have about $6,000 to pay it with” said Mr. Hunter after which he appealed to the electors for their support in this elec- tion. I Local option, he said remains with the ratepayer to decide. Every one should vote as he sees fit. If it carries he intends to see it enforced, if elect- ed Mayor. claitped, did nothing this year.
