The above candidates for the mun- icipal council for Richmond Hill have qualified and will seek election on Monday next. At the nomination meet- ing on Monday night they stated their case to the electors who on polling day must pronounce the verdict. All are good men, property owners in the village and deeply interested in its welfare. All Would if elected we are sure endeavor to the very best of their ability to further the interests of the people. But one reeve and four councillors are to be elected and it is for the voters to choose who will be honored. Five have been called for council but only four will be chosen two are seeking the reeveship and on~ ly one can be elected. It is hoped that a large vote will be polled so that the election m ay properly represem’ the voice of the people ~not the voice of only a few. Let’s make it 3 rec- ord vote this year. Four were nominated for three vac- ancies of the Board of Education but Mrs. Perry who has been a very val- uable member of the board withdrew and an election was avoided. ' The nomination was fairly well at~ tended and all candidates were given a very good hearing and not once was there an interruption or word from the audience. A. J. Hume the genial clerk of the village was elected chairman on motion of ex-reeve Thos. Trench and ex-reeve Wm. Pugsley. He gave a very interesting and exhaustive re- view of the municipal affairs pointing far out the large amount of money raised by taxation which was really uncontrollable expenditure as far as the council was concerned. It was to meet debentures for improvements apâ€" proved and asked for by the people at the polls. Joseph Atkinson, proposed by G. H. Duncan and James. McLean. Councillor Baldock member of the 1926 council who is seeking re-election was the first speaker. He dealt par- ticularly with the department which W. Ashford Wright, proposed by Geo. Gee and A. R. Metcalfe. Anne A. Perry proposed by R. C Langstaff and G. H. Duncan. . C. Herbert Sanderson, proposed by Arthur Elson and H. B. Williams. J. Roy Herrington proposed by W. H. Murphy and H. J. Mills. Walter G. Baldock proposed by Thos. H. Trench and Norman Batty. Albert Chapman proposed by Thos H. Trench and C. N. Cooper. James McLean, proposed by John H. Dunlop and Thos. H. Trench. Gordon H. Sloan proposed by A. G Savage and A. R. Metcalfe. Jacob Lunau, proposed by Geo. Rea- man and Thos. H. Trench. John A. Greene proposed by G. If Duncan and John H. Dunlop.

The weather was favorable, the crowds very good and the music all that could be desired. This all contri- nbuted to‘a sucessful year. “I endea- vored toy apply every-day business principles to the department,” said Mr. Baldock, “and I found that it paid‘” He pointed out that the re- ceipts were not as large as the year before but in proportion to the ex- penditure they were larger. The hockâ€" ey tournament the previous year had been the means of boosting the rev- enue while last year it was held late in the season and although successful not nearly so large as the previous year. A drinking fountain and other improvements had been made at the rink which he felt were needed and he was sure they were appreciated by the people. This year he would apply very much the same principles if elâ€" eeted but would endeavor to improve on last years record. Mr. Baldock took a definite stand on the road ques- ition and stated that he was not in {favor of putting gravel on Centre lStreet and Richmond Streets until the iroa was scarified or prepared in ‘so e way to hold the gravel. He had ienjoyed the work in council and apâ€" pealed for reâ€"election on his record. ; James McLean thanked his nomina. tors and said that although out of municipal afi’airs for one year he was back again this year and if honored by election he would work in the best interests of the village. He felt that something should be done about the village water. The waterworks were an asset to the village but the water was not good at certain seas0ns and something should be done. He was in favor of putting broken stone on claimed the council should look' other streets gravel would be allright if the road was properly prepared. Last year gravel was just dumped on Church Street. The preparation of the road bed Was very important he ahead to the day when the village could acquire proper quarters for all municipal offices. He would not sug- gest it. for this year but the council should work with that objective. He appealed for the support of the el- ectors ofr the office of councillor and ‘wished all the compliments of the l season. Councillor G. H. Sloan was given a good reception when in a short con- cisive speech he appealed for re-eiec- tion. “When I was elected last year,” said Mr. Sloan, “I resolved that I would do my best without fear or favor and I have endeavored to do so at all times.” As chairman of the waterworks department he ,pointed out that at the commencement of the year there was a handsome balance of $13.75 in that department. He had not made many changes because he maintained that any improvements made should be, paid out of ordinary revenue as he was not in favor of is- suing any more debentures for the Flour and Feed Etc. PHONE KING 306 Telephone 86 J l l l l J. A. Greene who has served in the council for nine years and is now seek- ing election as reeve stated that dur- ingfihis term in council he had always given of his best ability in the inter- ests of the ratepayers. it was always his aim that the interests of Richmond Hill should be protected. He had act- ed for the past three years as chair- man of the electric light committee and he referred to the recent reduc- tions in rates as a result of represen- tations made to the Hydro. {e was Sure that the rates which would come into effect on January 1 would meet with the favor of all. Mr. Greene al- so referred to the $634 which was in the treasury when the Hydro took it over and which had now been trans- ferred back to the village where it rightfully belonged. Mr. Greene al- so referred to several improvements made at the rink while he was on the committee at the first of the year. In this respect he said he felt it was the duty of every member of the coun- cil to do all he could to improve things regardless of what department it was in. He considered it waste of money 'to put gravel on Centre and Richm’nd Streets as at present. He thought that stone properly rolled would make the best road for'those streets. He favored co-operation in the council in all matters. He favored all concill- ors being consulted and their decision adhered. Such had not been the case this year. The council had let con- tracts for 400 yards of gravel at $1.99 and $2.00 per yard and after the meet- ing further gravel was contracted for at 82.10 per yard. He believed all cards should be on the table all the time and if elected reeve for 1927 he would promise that all matters would be dealt with in a coooperative manâ€" ner by all members. The village would have improved transportation facilities during the coming year and it was the duty of the council to make representation to get more fav- orable rates. The present fares were too high and he was confident that if proper authorities were properly ap- proached that a change would be made l We must endeavor to attract more ‘ people to Richmond Hill and the only ‘ way to do that was to advertise it every way he could as he was a firm believer in advertising. He had no- ticed a lack of road signs pointing to 1 Richmond Hill; these could be secur- ed at a very nominal cost. He was in favor of co-operation all along the line; among the council and with the ratepayers. As to the benefit of this policy he mentioned the saving brou- ght about by the board of education in the installation of a sanitary sys- tem this year. The original estimate for a suggested plan was $6,000 but the board and council got together on the matter and the result is that the board installed a satisfactory system for less~than $2000. He paid tribute to the efficient handling of the matter by the board of education. Mr. Greene promised that if elected reevc for 1927 he would do all in his power to put Richmond Hill where it belongs. W. A. Wright, C. Herbert Sander- son and CH. Duncan spoke briefly re- after X‘Ehich the meeting George Reaman who nominated Reeve Lunau spoke on the behalf of candidate who was unavoidably ab- sent. At the outset Mr. Reaman read a letter from Mr. Lunau expressing his regret at being absent from the meeting and asking the people for their support for the reeveship for 1927. Mr. Reaman stated that he thought Mr. Lunau should be given an- other term as he felt that good work had been done during the year. In county council work a man in one year hardly got onto the run of things. I belive, said Mr. Reaman that when we have a good man we should keep him just the same as we kept Mr. Pugsley for several years. . . Councillor J. R. Herring‘ton stated that he was glad to have the same nominators as last year. He was satisfied that the 1926 council had endeavored at all times to do the very best for the village with the money at their disposal. The deben- ture debt was a serious problem and it was no small matter to deal with. Mr. Herring'ton thanked all those who supported him last year and asked all who thought that his record during the year merited continued confidence to give him their support on Monday next for the ofiice of councillor. Albert Chapman who is one of the new men appealing for election stated that if the people saw fit to elect him he Would do his utmost in the interests of the village. He had had three years experience in township council work sothat municipal proceedure would not be entirely new to him. In the mat- ter of roads he believed in getting a hundred per cent for money expended That had not always been the case in Richmond Hill. He had seen the grade er running up and down the road when it was frozen as hard as the floor. He did not consider that good business. Mr. Chapman thanked his nominators wished all the compli- ments of the season. waterworks department. The ed at certain seasons was a matter for . study. He was sure he was not, going ‘ to spend any money on any schemes until he was sure they would be a benâ€" efit. “If you think I did good work last year and if you think I can do ; better next year I appeal for your vote," said Councillor_ Sloan. water LOSTâ€"Three strand strin of earls was good for the great part of the ; g p year and just how it Could be improv- | white gold clasp. on Yonge Street, rewardâ€"Liberal Oflice.
