The working men compose the large portion of the town. A: ore who is prepared to pay reasonable wages to the laborer. I will advocate their interests on every occasion possible, ‘and will do everything reasonable to see that a fair and living wage is paid, thus ensuring a more prosperous. happy and contented town and encouraging our men and iam- iliee to remain in the town. DIM!!! the year hundreds of soldiers will return to the town and county and it is our duty to see that these are provided for as far as possible. As one who has sacrificed much for the war, I will deem it my duty to do everything possible for the returned soldier. The Town Council will be composed largely of new men and my experience for many years would be of material assist- ance in financial and town affairs gener- ally. One of the most important years in the history of the County Council is before us in reference to the Good Roads System and other important work which has been begun. and with which I have been in- timately connected during the past year, and I believe I can be more useful for the interests of the Town than a new man. l have bun nominated again for the position of Reeve of the Town of Durham and have decided to allow my name to go to the ballot for the following reasons : Wt yd To the Electors of the Town of Durham Ladies and entlemen '. Vote tor W. Calder The retirement of Mr Wm. Laidlaw IJ] Council life is worthy of comment. [ He first entered council in 1882, thirty-iive l years ago and though his service has not been continuous. he has been one of the 'moet prominent municipal figures fora long time. He was first elected Mayor in il89o,and held it for some years. From i 1900 to 1910 he does not appear, but later entered the arena again and altogether has been May» for 10 years. He is still to serve his town as Hydro Commissioner, We have not always agreed with Mr Landlaw in his attitude on public ques-1 tions. but his career has been on the whole a worthy one, and we may express the hope that in his new sphere, he may still beable to do good service for the town.

He signed up ' in Walkerton with the Tlst battalion, I trained at Cult that winter and went over- ', seas in the spring. He had been about ' three months in France when an exploding shell shattered the dug-out sheltering him, killing three, while he escaped with an injured knee and leg, which was struck I by a falling beam. After nine mos. in English hospitals, he was made a drillil- structor at Witley Camp and rose in rank to Sergeant. He was notified for return to Canada shortly after the arm stice was signed, While here Jack exhibited to us the pocketbook now well worn, presented to him by Durham Choral Society Of which he was a member, after his enlist- ment and which he has since ever carried on him.

Mr Laidlaw wished the electors the compliments of the season, thanked mover and aeconder for placing Ym in nomina. tion, and the citizens for the confidence given to him in the past. He referred as did an the speakers, to the happy peace situation, as compared with the past four years. Reviewing his career he said INN shly he had made mistakes, but he did what he could to the best of his ability. T Clerk Vollet was continued as Chair- man of the public meeting. Several of the speakers referred to their disappoint. ment at the small attendance only some 50 or 60 ratepayers being present. We are inclined to think that there must have been general satisfaction with the work of the retiring council. There is always a crowd when there are " crows to pluck.

A committee was appointed to ascer- tain the probable cost of such a building and bring in a report to the Council. The Council would then have aby-law prepared for this purpose and submit it to a vote of the ratepayers at a later date tor their approval. The committee ap- pointed to report on the proposed town- ship hall is comprised of Messrs Wildfang and Dodsworth of Elmwood, Don Mc. Lean, Frank Smith, H. Brigham, Wm. Adlam, Wm Vallett. The leading topic of ditcussion was as to what form a soldiers' memorial for the township should take. Contribu- tions to the erection of a monument in the two adjacent towns, Durham and Hanover, or to the support of a hospital were not favored. Mr. Robt. Brigham suggested having a memorial window in each of the townsh p churches to which the fallen heroes belonged, but the mem- orial which met with the approval of the meeting by a standing vote, was that a township hall should be erected in which the soldiers' names. both those who had fallen and all who had enlisted. would be) inscribed. l For the Council, five names were plac ed in nomination; three of last year's Council, Alex McDonald, Jas. Hewitson Herb Hunt and John Hudson and Geo. Fischer. Mr. Fred Shewell has retired alter several years' service. A representative meeting of the town. ship ratepayers at Lamlash brought out Jwo eqrerienced candidates for reeve, Henry Metcalfe who has filled the office the past two years, and Geo.
