There l was a large attendance of ratepayers. the Township Hall being filled, a tact l, which shows increased interest ml municipal affairs. l The 1924 Council will be as follows: i Reeve i McCuaig or Weir Councillors : T.

Councillor Aljoe said he knew of at least six bridges requiring Immediate re-construction and John McGrath. the new member or the Council voiced the opinion of many when he believed the best solution of the bridge ques tion was by using the debenture sys- tem tor tiaaneitur and erecting sever- al at once. . Reeve McCuaig. the first speaker, gave a lengthy review of township and county matters, stating he was willing to take his full share of blame for what had been done. With refer- ence to the proposed bridge, in which delay had been caused, owing to the slow return ot plans trom the Depart- ment, with the ultimate refusal to give Contractor Smith of Allan Park, a renewal of time for the work, the Reeve declared that he deemed it best to cancel the agreement aging to cir- cumstances. Queried by Mr Weir, he htated no contract existed with Smith at present. Mr McCuaig believed the proposal to buy the Pond leading to the Glen Station would be an economical one.

The town had lost $450 in County Council. deducted as the 20 per cam forIJurham,ttr, Provincial Road. Mark. dale and Flesherlou did not suffer this way, though they were equally liablu.

Mr Calder reminded them it was not his efforts or his opponent’s that elected the Reeve-lt was the rate. payers who did that. Ag to Mr Al- lan's one year, it was shown, he said, that a new man lost them 8450. His main purpose was to get the wheels of the Jackson plant going and asser- ted that he and a few others had kept the Clark Metals from going under.
