He thought the great fault lay. not with the accounts, but with the bylaw appointing the engineer as it was not specific enough as to the amonmts he could charge. It was hard to challenge the engineer’s figures. He got some $3.000 from the county. “I think the bylaw should and will be a- mended. If I am warden, and I have every reason to expect to be it return- ed as reeve here, I will see that the by- hw is amended so there will be no chance for further dispute." No county council matter had receiv- ed more attention from the press than that of the engineer’s accounts, said Mr. MacDonald, who said he believed there should have been an audit to clear up the situation. The department said have no paving done therein by the province this year, a move which car- ried despite the eflorts of a certain fac- tion. The treasurer estimated this move mid save the county $85,000, or two mnlsincountyrateandthreemills in desired. The penalty was reduced from rm to two per cent, applying only on the part unpaid. Hr. MacDonald said the council had reduced salaries from fifteen to thirty per cent, a saving on ofllcial’s salaries alone of around $3,000. He also recalled the enorta of Grey county council to they had authorized the treasurer to accept part payment, where such was The council had done all they could to reduce taxes. Some townships pro- vided two installments for taxes, but turcs as far as possible. Salaries and} commissions would be about $125 less for the full year. The council had tried to spend all township money in the township and divide it as equally as possible. He believed 90 per cent of the ratepayers had earned a share of the money. Cement for the HOpkins bridge and some steel culverts were the only out of township expenditures. I Thls year had been a difficult one for farmers and others, said Mr. MacDon- ald.

Chittick, clerk, was elected as chairman of the meeting, and in his Opening remarks referred kindly to the memory oi the late Councillor James Turnbull, who was a member of the council for 12 years. He was a man of sterling qualities and sentiments. Reeve Dougald MacDonald was the first speaker and said he was glad to see such a large attendance. It was a good thing to have the ratepayers come together once a year. He said the town- ship was the poorer for the loss of Mr. 'l‘urnbull. The great question at this time was not the record or the council so much as the question of retaining or abolishing the present road system. He thought candidates {Or the council should be called upon to speak and the! road question reserved until later, when: everyone, whether nominated or not. could express his views.

The lat- cri- ter rate should not be further reduced. ’hey He referred to the penalty on unpaid and taxes. If a man hasn’t got the money, :ctslgive him all the chance you can, he ad- monished: Taxes should be collected by, mty a collector. It would give a job to a tax- rere payer instead of spending the money ini to stamps and allowing commissions to at- I the banks and treasurer. I W. G. McCulloch chided the reeve {Or saying it was economy to give the su- perintendent an increase of ten cents an hour last year. Why didn’t they raise him another ten cents this year and practice more economy? John Wells said he “had pretty good success with most things he tried and would try for a seat at the council. Alex. Grierson thought salaries should be cut. He compared the clerk’s and the treasurer’s salaries in Bentlnck and Normanby and wondered why the work couldn’t be done as cheaply in Bent- inck. He had no intention of running. Fred Torry said he had been ap- proached for a number of years to run for council. He would never consider it while the late Councillor Tumbull rep- resented his district. He had decided to allow his name to stand. Irwin Brown confined his remarks to his efforts to get a vote on the return to statute labor. John Weidendorf said he was going to run for the council and if elected in- tended to work for the interest of the ratepayers. He had served as patrolman and had never heard of any complaints as to the manner in which he did his work.

The peOple could decide what they wanted. He would work for a square deal for everybody, no matter what road system was adapted. George Magwood said he did not seek the nomination. He had been in the council and had done his best. He told of having saved money for the rate- payers before and would try and do so again if elected. Robert McCaslin had served five years in the council. had done his best for the welfare of all. There was a lot of agitation and criticism that was un- called for, but he attributed it to the hard times. He was in the field and if elected would do his best to keep down 'nection with county roads. They are 'costing a tremendous amount of money, j out of all proportion to the cost of other Iroads. Mr. Hunt decried the use of the plea for the Wardenship on behalf of Mr. MacDonald. If the electors had al- ‘lowed him to continue as reeve for a year or two longer he might have got the wardenship. Mr. MacDonald did not humble himself to take the deputy’s chair, but opposed him and won by 13. votes. Mr. Hunt said he would ofler‘ himself as a candidate. I Other Councillor Spoke Charles Bailey was wrathy because some one had accused him of libelling the late James Turnbull. It was untrue. He was in fav0r of the vote on statute labor and thought the people should decide a question of its importance. Referring to county matters Mr. Hunt said he understood some money owing to the province by the county had been “shelved” till next year. If so, this would work a hardship on ratepayers next year. He thought a closer tab should be kept on all payments in con- DEVELOP NEW INDUSTRY Mr. Hunt thought there should be a little more economy everywhere.
