DURHAM, JANUARY 3, 1907. W e carry a large stock of sick-room goods. As we are favored by the patronage of phy- sicians from all parts of the country, Our stock must necessarlly be var- ied. It is variedâ€"so much so that it is im- possible to enumerate the articles here, but when occasion arises for the use of anything of this nature you can dc- pend upon findmg it here. Although they fortu- nately may not be re- quired now, it’s well to know where you can find such goods, for it may mean a saving of time when they are needed in a hurry. There are few families that escape the need of sick-room supplies. Al. IRWIN. Editor and Proprietor. Sickfloum Goods THE NOMINATIONS. THE Mr. Calder, candidate for the Mayor- alty was next called on and after ex- pressinghis opinion the retiring Mayor and Council should first state their position, he took the financial state- nients of the past two or three years and made a few comments regarding the financial standing of the town. He endeavored to point out that each Council for the past three years left a regularly increasing deficit as a legacy to be borne by their successors in office and that the deficit this year amount- ed to something over $1200. Regard- ing the actual indebtedness of the town apart from the local improve- ment debt which had to be borne by the property holders personally ‘the town was in good. shape with a total debenture debt of something like $17,000. He referred to his entering the field first against Mr. Hunter, who subsequently resigned and was suc- ceeded by Mr. Moran. The building of the new railway, the necessity for z new bridge on Garafraxa street and the establishment of additional indus- tries all required the attention of a good council. The sources of revenue included school fees amounting to $600 or $700, a legislative grant of $300, a county grant of $300 with a supplementary grant of $150 given by the county last June. In answer to a question put by Mr. J. H. Brown, Mr. Ramage stated that salaries paid in the High School Department amounted to $1800, $800 to the Principal and $500 each to two assistants. In this Dept. the grants and fees received amounted to about $1450. In the course of his remarks Mr. Ramage referred to the heating appliances being very unsatisfactory and the necessity in the very near future of securing further accommoda- tion for the pupils, the school being now filled to overflowing and the trus- tccs being obliged to rent rooms else- win-re. Mr. Moran on rising referred to Mr. Calder’s address as asort of stereo- typed recital, and repudiated any charge that his position in any way disqualified him from giving the town his best services. He referred to the importance of careful and thoughtful management of town affairs and the necessity for harmony amongst the members of the Council Board, and then went on to explain how he was brought into the field by Mayor Hun- ter’s resignation. As did Mr. Calder he Wished all the compliments of the season and asked all who could do so to support him with their vote on the 7th of January; Mr. S. P. Saunders, a. candidate for the Reeveship, expressed in a. few words his Willingness to stand and promised if elected to use his best ef- “a- forts for the good of the town. Mr. Wm. Laidlaw, the other nom- inee for the Reeveship said in starting that he had no reflection to makel against the Council of 1906. He thought the Councils of the past two or' three years did the best‘they could. He would like to see a good Council for 1907, as there is much important business to come up during the year. _ Thought Durham was one of the best small towns we have in the Province and that many larger towns and small cities would do well to take lessons from us. He was travelling a great deal and felt himself in a position to judge. Thought we should be proud that our debenture debt was so low and did not consider our tax rate as unreasonable in view of the fact that many other towns paid a much higher I “’m.

Vollett, who mtimated that it was suggested advisable to hear the report of the School Board before call- ing on the nominees for positions in ?the Council. Secretary Ramage was called on and referred to some of the sources of expenditure which increas- ed the outlay of the past year or so. The furnace, the sidewalks, the im- provement of grounds, expenditure on necessary school appliances and a con- siderable increase in teachers’ salaries were some of the points touched upon Of the $5000 applied for this year it was intended to take about $800 for the construction of outbuildings. VVhen the hour was closed for re- ceiving nominations the announce- ment was mad? by the returning offi- rate. {In his closing remarks he-said he favored increased industries, and though he was not ambitious to go in- to the Council he would do his best if elected. Trustees were elected by acclamation as follows :â€"C. L. Grant for the North, Dr. Gun for the East and J. S. McIl- raith for the “fest Ward. Mr. James Lenahan said he did his best' during the past year ‘and would do so again if re-elected. Referred also to the endeavors of the 1906 coun- oil to safe-guard the town’s interests in regard to the new railway. E Mr. Whelan was highly humorous in his brief address. Thought the Council of 1906 did pretty well and didn’t think any other council could CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL. Winter Term Opens J an. 2nd Omfp // Mr. Benj.

BINNIE, A. DAVIDSON, Mr. Thos. Swallow made his maiden bow as an aspirant for municipal hon- or in order that he might acquire municipal knowledge. Said he was in the field for Councilman, and felt he was going to get there, as he never went after anything he didn’t get. Thought 1907 Council should be one of the best Councils Durham ever had, and he appealed to the electors for a partial or full support to elect him as a Councilman. Mr. Furnezmx simply stated his in- tention to allow his name to go to the ballot. Files get. quick relief from Dr. Sh00p’s MagicOintment.

GI MCKECHNIE. CHRIS. FIRTH, ; Mr. Robt. Cochrane on rising said i this was the first time in his life he , had courage enough to take a position Ion the public platform. The council ! of 1906 he said was composed of honest hard-working men, and- thought that I the honest hard-working men who E were again seeking the support of the . electors should be returned to power. E As Mr. Macfarlane was the only busi- ; ness man in the Uouncil, Mr. Cochrane indulged in a. few pleasantries at his expense to the amusement of the audi- ence who were quite ready to see the point. He then pointed out that the total income to the town amounted to about $11,410. Of this he said the bulk for expenditure was outside the control of the Council and gave in- stances of $5000 to the School, the county rate, debentures falling due, expenses of fire and light and oflicial salaries being all uncontrollable ex- penditure. do any better.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,â€"I wish to give you a few facts regarding the County Council Grant to the Durham School. i In the Review of June 28th, 1906, Mr. Ramage claimed that the County Council did not give to the Durham School the amount that they should, and compared the amounts given to High Schools with the amount given to Durham School, and ended by saying, they looked for bet- ter treatment in 1907 under the new Act “when Durham has a champion of her own.” I would suggest that the School Board establish a High School in Durham and then they will receive the High School (iii-ant. I was willing to overlook that insinuation, but I understaml he brought it up at the Nomination and again tried to make it appear that the County Council did not give to Durham School the amount that they should.
