Haulage of the School Board and the latter ave some fhrures showing that over $5110 had been spent in the installation of the Steam beating plant, exczul tions &e. and all had been met in the year’s flmutcintr. He pointed out that for the first time on January 4th next, ever?s room in the school would be occupied. and that in the near future. provision would have to he made for more school accommodation. and that in keeping with the, limes a. more generous appro- Driation for Sill‘il‘les would have to he made. Mr Brown replied to Mr Calder with some spirit claiming that the difference. in labor in two gears accounted for the extra cost. of bri Re. Mr Telford thanked his mover and seconder hut withdrew after speaking in flattering terms of the excellence of the bridge and pronouncing the Side- walks built this year the best in town. _ Mr Sharp thanked his friends for their support, he. had studied economy and was prepared to do so in the future. Mr J L Browne pointed with pride to improvements in the Hall, was a mem- ber of the Fire & Light, committee and took some credit, for the street lighting. Mr (Mulder followed and would have been pleased to have the rosy state- ments of the mavor and Mr Brown proved correct. He look up the lia- bilities accruing early in January and not shown in Statement and claimed that the council before January was many days old. would have used every available asset and would have to borrow money for the greater part of the year. Instead of 21 mills, the rate this year should have. been 21. By it comparison per perch with cost of side. walk and Nlowing even more for the. bridge he claimed the cost should have been kept near the amount arranged for at hVst. $2500 instead of now asking 84000. The handling of the oil-well by- law, the mistakes in another by-luw where 8108 was necessary to legalize it, were evidences of inenierener Mr Brown followed at more length. He compared the position of assete and liabilities with former years and claimed it did them credit. the industries of the town wore telling on its prosperity. He went, fully into the. expenditure on the new bridge showing.r renmns why they had adopted day labor. and claimed that the. town had splendid value for their money for the iron men said it WM the best, abutments they had seen l took credit for the new stdewalks, built With- out trouble and everyone pleztsed. He' closed by asking their support. Mayor McIntyre spoke brisafly, enter- ing into a comparison with previous ymrs to prove that the expenditure had been judiciouslv made. They had spent: a, good deal of money. but most of it came back to the town. He thanked the count-ll for co-operation, painted to the Treasurer‘s statement as: evidence of capacity and predicted that next year the rate would be 18 mills or less.
