The big sensation of the Arthur nom- ination meeting, held in the Arthur Town Hall on Monday evening, was the declaration of Reeve Henry Irvine that he was retiring from public ife for the time being, and would not be a candidate for the reeveship of 1930. Mr. Irvine terminates for the pre- sent at least, a rather unique munici- pal record. For seventeen years, he has been in municipal life and has never known defeat. For ten years, he has been a member of the Arthur Council, three as Councilman and seven as reeve. At the County Council he has been a member of every important committee, including the Committee of Five. A3. just stated, seventeen years without a defeat is a unique achieve- ment and on it we extend to Mr. Irvine congratulations. .__. Arthur Enterprise News.
