Tho watov ratofi col lected wore much Iobh than tho ratoH ooUeetcd in other towns ot thin siv.o ihoupfh tho iatoH charpod aro as high a other townn. IT found that many who woro Ioiuloat in otamorinpr for wator workfl were Blowout in putting in tho HorvicoB. Tho procoode of laudB Bold for taxoH wan Iohh than in 1805. In tho jnnfctor of oflfleortt' nalarioa ho thought thoy could not out that down to any low'or notch. Ho did not boliovo in paying flmnll ealarioa aH in huoIi oaBOH wo Hhould got poor mon. In tho mat- tor' of tho waterworks, tho exponaoH paid for running tho uamo and paying the dobouturoH oxcoodod tho receipts in 18011 by ,fiOf iu 180-1 by $3,654, in 18(5by&2,lfi0 aud in 18flG by $2,121.

Tho olootrio light matter waa thou taken up.

Ha alHo favored putting down anothor well outside of tho building. Some woro in favor of mmiing dobon- turoa to pay for tho additional improvo- monta but that eouhl not ho done according to biWj tho act pnasod by tho LogiHlaturo Hpooifying that no money could lio rained under tho Act excopt to pay otV tho floating debt, Ho would Bupport a by-law to borrow monoy I'or thoHo improvomonta. Ho thanked them for tho honor conferred upon him and if olootod would do hin duty in tho Muyor'N chair an ho had done aM a councillor. Dn. Vgyvh aaid in tho pant ho had looked after tho town'u iutorodta with out regard for friondahip and if olootod as Mayor ho would continue to do hia boat for tho town. If tho people would look at hift record thoy would nnd that economy and onloionoy haa ahvayHboon Ilia motto. Ilohadalwayn voted npainafc any illegal orunnocosanryoxponditurca. Homo think ho oppoaod tho granting of tho fi auoliiao to the gaa company. An application was made to tho council for tho right to pipe tho atroota of tho town and all ho had asked waa that thoy should eomo before iho counoil na on organized company. Had thoy eomo aa an organized company ho would hnvo boon ono of tho flrat mon to grant thorn a frnuohitio. In tho coming yoar Romo important mattcro will havo to ho mot. Ono question will bo tho wator- worka, that unromunorativo aaaot. A now boiler will havo to bo put in and other improvomonta mudo. If olootod, ho will endeavor to pfot this important plant in good condition at aa little coat ahpoaaiblo. Ho thought thoy should reduce their intoroat account at tho bank and waa in favor of paying taxoa in inntallmonta. Ho wan iu favor of re ducing aalnrioB by omploying fowor oflleora and paying good aalarioa to thoao employed; thtia inplaco of having aovon cinema at lowaalanoa they would havo two or thrno oflleora at good salar ies, lio favored tho contract ayatom in tho purchase of town aupplioa, aa ho conaidorod it would bo a sa\ing to tho town If hia record ia approved ho wouldjilto to have their votes, John MaDounAbh thanked tho pooplo for olooting him aa Iteovo by acclama tion, an honor that had boon conferred upon him several times for tho ofllco of Deputy Beovp Homo ropairawill havo to bo made at tho waterworks which in tho end will moan a saving to tho town. Another woll should ho put down and it is neccBsary that a now boiler bo put in. i'or tho past two yoars ho baa htitckup for the frontage system as tho by-law was paused by tho pooplo and ho has tried to carry it out to tho letter. Ho would tiy and do his puty as faith fully us possible C. M. Caughill aud Erod. Gilboo woro called on but both remgnod. Jami:s A. 1X if ica said bo had horvod tho town for several years. Ho did not claim to bo perfect, but ho far as pos sible ho h*d not sin unit from his duty to tho tou ii Ho believed all tho mem bers would agree with him that in look ing after tho waterworks ho had the luudest job in tho counoil. In hia work at tho waterworks ho had saved tho tmwi twice as much an it had coot thorn iui ilit \uik dliiil. ilo J*d U"L want .vu-oim to tlr'"k that bn had got a cent Ii- t'jul iiot Ii 'neatly catin'i]. do had titt-.u in glefted his nun nhVrs to look after thn town's interests. Bo long as ho remains iu the council lie will do hifl duty and av hen he cannot do that ho will pull out. Thoro was conaidornblo woik in connoctiou Avith the water works that will havo to bo done this year. At loaat one-third or one-half too much fuel is conaumod and tho present boilor ia of no uso. Ho had strongly advocated tho putting of tho plant iii good Hhapo, but did not boliovo in patching it. Although ono of tho heav iest latopayors in town, ho would bo in favor of spending roiuo more money in that diroction, boliowng it would bo foi tho host in tho ond, E. 0. Iivm rs mndo a witty speech putting tho audicuee in good humor and announcod that ho was not a candi date. Wm Naylor would like to see tho old council re-elected, aa ho boliovod thoy were doing justice as far as thoy can. Ita. Hhorn, nftor * thanking his movor and seconder, announced that ho would rem am in tho Hold, aud if ho could do anything for tho town ho would bo willing to do it. Fkw). TtoiiiNHON boliovod iu getting good men in tho counoil and kooping them thoro. no could not state dofln- itoly whether ho would stand, l)r JamoB Urion, in roaponao to ro pouted ciiIIh, made ashortspoooh. Tho aidowallcs aud stroots of tho town woro in a bad state and if tho town could on- gago in any schomo by whioh thoy could mako monoy and roduco taxation thoy should go in for it. Tho "water works dooa not ueora to boruiuifllciont- ly. fl o would like to oo tho town go thoroughly into tho matfcor of putting in an inoandoac.ontolootrio Hghtaystom. What is a good business entorpnso for an individual should bo for a town and ho will bo dissatisfied and disappointed if the ooming year's council does not oousidor tho matter well. He thought the town debt should also be consolidat ed and tho rato of interest reduced. It is also the duty of the council to boo if they oattnot supply the M. 0. B. .with water. The city of Glasgow has its own waterworks, oleotrio light' and street railway systems and the people aro not compelled to pay one cent in tuxes.

IIo thanked tho ratepayers for past favors and nskod for their support for County councillor. 7t. Orton said ho could not talk on couuty_CQiintMl or township all'aira hut waa pleased to boo tho latter in good condition. IIo purposed standing for County councillor and trustod to bo oloctod. Chas. Holkio, roovo-oloet, was thank ful for tho honor conferred upon him of olooting him by acclamation. Ho had served m tho council for 8 yoars and thought ho did what was rifjht. Tho township was in a good financial condi tion. During tho coming year ho would bo as economical as possible and would work diligontly for tho township's in- torests. John E. Millon said ho had only a fow words to aay. He has served throe years aa township councillor and it olootod for Doputy-Koovo would strive to do hia duty. F. B. Millon said to many it mijjfht look funny to aco him running against John but ho would not back out after coming out with the nndei standing, up till a shoit time ago, that lohn did not intend to be a candidate. There waa some dissatisfaction with tho old coun cil. Ho had served tho township aa aa- Bossor and ondonvorod to do his work to plonso all. IIo thought tho mombora should havo explained tho financial fitatomout more fully. If tho ratepayers thought ho was tho right man Lo would hko them to voto for him. Honry Barlow had sorvod to tho best of his anility for tho past twelvo months and if tho pouplo "wore Hatisflod with him and vo-olectod him for another yoar ho would still try to do his beat for tho township.
