NOBLE 1BIG AT THE . 1, 1903 Jatrons. and Games :1 in town \ _ Commissioner McKinnon asked and got the privilege to discuss County matters and entered into the valuation question showing how Durbam had ‘benefitu-d in the the reâ€"adjustments. ; As an evidence of careful manageâ€" ment he showed how a deficit of $9000 ‘ had been tranformed into a surplus of | a like amount. The steps taken to l prepare for the building of the House ot Refuge were rehearsed and he claimed as justifying his own candidaâ€" |8 ture that it was in the interests of the county to return the men to finish the work they hbad begun. Thanking them he retired and the meeting # i adjourned. Mr. J. H. Brown thought Mr. Calder‘s remarks reflected on Council as well as mayor. The council of 1092 were quite able to initiate matters ‘The character of the season had been bad tor gravelling, and is was impossible to get men and teams to begin the work earlier. He detended the material put on the streets and claimed that next year the stece‘:s would show up well. Anyway they had avoided the mistake of former councils oft puiting big stones on the roud and then hiring men to pick them out agam. Mr. Calder had said that C nnery was bluffting them. . How were they to know a writ was a bluff? To deftend the case their solicitor wanted $150 and they thought the easiest wavy was to settle the ease without law, when Connery offered to take the amount asked by the solieitor. Sparling and Hunter being absent Win. Sharp was called on but declined to take the plaitorm. A. McLachlan, spoke briefly and saw no use in going over the ground again the mayor had covered. . They had spent a lot of money in building a tank, * some said it was good some said not, he didn‘t know whether it was or not." (.. Smith next took the stand and predictesd next yvear would see Lambâ€" ton street the best road in town. Sand roads properly made were good. When the morning stars sang together stone and gravel was being ground into this sand for our purposes He referred to the bad season and admitâ€" ted that a few parts of the streets were defectiye. He thanked his supporters, hbe had striven to act conscientiously and thought. the council of 1902 had done its duty, mortar and was told that Insurance companies recommended against asbeg tos as anyone could find by writing to the underwriters. Mr. Jas. Carson, candidate for Trustee in W. Ward followed, referred to his long connection with the board, be had striven to make a good school, to keep down salaries, and expenses. After explaining how estimates were made, he placed himself before them, he was there at the request of many friends and having consented he was going to stay with it. Mr. Melntyre objected to Mr. Calder‘s figures for 1901 and read from the Auditor‘s Report to prove his statement. He claimed that when Calder was mayor his company, to leave the council no exense, had made a very liberal offer for light but it was not accepted. He pointed out in addition to what he had said before that they had spent nearly $300 in law costs which should have been paid la:t year. This Calder refuted by saying the case was not decided till February 1902 hence could not be paid in 1901. He scouted the idea that he was the only one in 1901 to decide on law, the council was behind him and had their own views. Anyway each party had bad to pay their own costs. He blamâ€" ed the mayor and council for nout reâ€" pealing the byâ€"law before reshingling the Town Hall, for an Inspertor of Insurance nad declared there was danger of losing our rating because nut Jlaid in mortar. _ Mr. Melaotyre asked it asbestos was not as good as lHe closed by urging ratepayers to Judge them on their records but it Mr Sperling accepted the nomination he would retire in his favor. If elected he had now more time to devote to the duties of the oftice and left the case in their bands. He toushed on the electric light question didnt know what efforts had been made but knew we were still in darkness and the town losing prestige. It would be money wellâ€"spent if the town would buy out the present plant or in some way proyide for the municiâ€" pal lighting. Twice he charged, had manuiacâ€" tures come to town with good prcflSei- tions, but had been received eoldlv, and one of these was now ouperating in Brantford. _A year ago a wagg on factory was looking into the place for an opening, they had also gone. Where no Board of Trade existed, the mayor and council should be on the alert for new industries. Not only so, they should encourage home ones. and thought Charter Smith should have been recognized tor the enterprize he bhad shown in remodelling the old foundry buildings. This all round slackness he attributed largely to the lack ot initiative of the mayor. As to sidewalks he claimmed the $150 R:l to Conmery to settle the sidewalk iness was simply a gift for rateâ€" payers in a few cases had not got value for their money. The lack.of initlative in the head of the council during the past year while a boom was on bad been regrettable as to meet the probable reaction. is was necessary to use to the full present opportunities and get more manufacâ€" tures. 4 THE NOMINATIONS.

Not too cold, snow enough for good sleighing and as a conâ€" sequence there were few idie horses. Merchants unite in saying busniess was good, so there was a * merry Christmas" all round. Some of the other candidates who had been induced by their neighbors to ""run‘‘ had thro‘ some strange preâ€" varication of nature decided to "stand‘‘ and hoped by the good wi.ll of the electiors to finally have a *‘seat" in the council. Some of the speakers found fault with financial statement, not conâ€" cise enough, nut distributed soon enough, Holstcin bridge was found fault with, or rather the council in putting in wooden piles, w$&en a more lasting, job could have been hadg in mason work, on an apparently firm foundation. _ The other points menâ€" tioned were the grader already referrâ€" ed to and the McIrnes lawsuit instituâ€" ted by that gentlemen through baving driven cver an unprotected culyert some night in the dark, councils action in this matter was taken exception to, regret was felt at the inability of Walâ€" ter Ferguson to become a candidate through being a school trustee and of Mr Smith through pure disinclination. I The ratepayers of this thriving temâ€" perance municipality met ‘n the large agricultural hall, Holstein and filled to overflowing on |Monday last at the nomination. Messrs McQueen, Dickâ€" son and that irrepressible mirth proâ€" voking Irishman Wim Lawrence were nominated ior the position of Reeve. The first mentioned was elected by acclamation, the two lacter retiring after a criticising speech from both. The latter claimingâ€"while admitting no doubt of his ultimate electionâ€" pressure of business as home, a large tamily, and twins in the bhouse, forbade his taking the position. _A large coterâ€" ie were nominated for the position of councillors, Messrs McFadden, McInâ€" tyre, Robb, McArthur, Walls, Gordon and J R Smith. All the old councii Justified their actions during the year more or less explicitly. The effort by Messrs McFad(Fen and McIntyre, two members of the old council, were very creditable. _ The latter showing by a comp.lation of figures the advantages accruing to the.township through the purchase of the much maligned road grader, not only in the tact of having better work done, but at a saving of some 14 or 15 cts per rod for work done this amounting to a difference in favor of the township for one year alone of $175. _ In arrangement c<f his figures and manner of presenting them would show him to be not only improving himself, but .a decided acquisition to the municipality. Reeve and Council all reâ€"elected, so the county will have to pay the exâ€" penses of the election here. Normanby. Reeve Morice and his council all electedâ€"a tribute to efficiency. And Normanby, poor thing, wont have a smell of election excitement, except what floats over her borders. Glenelg. Reeve McFadden can this year luok in peace at the other fellows fighting.
