This is not a large amount to spend on some 100 miles of road when you consider that the County system expend as high as $21,000 on a half mile of road. Our expenditure for the year on roads and bridges has been $31,795 so we have been able to keep within our est- imate. The outstandings events in the years work included the incorporation -of the police Village of Maple, the building of several streets at the front of the Township on the Local Improve- mentiplan and the adoption of a street lighting system for Thornhill. He felt that the year was closing with a record satisfactory to the members of the council and he hoped it. was satis- factory to the ratepayers. Dealing in a very comprehensive manner with County affairs Reeve Kellam explained that the increase in the County rate this year was due to Reeve George Kellam was the first speaker and in his opening remarks apologized for the necessity of the people of the township leaving their home firesides and Christmas cele- brations to attend the nomination meeting but pointed out that it was impossible to have the statements of the years work in print ready for the meeting at an earlier date. He was pleased that there was such a good at- tendance as it was evidence of a keen interest in the affairs of the township. The Reeve pointed out that the past year had been an outstanding one in many ways; on March 17 all the road machinery was in operation so that an excellent start was made on the years work. There was a spell of wet weather in May and in November wh- ich interfered with the completion of some work and resulted in some dam- age to the roads. The new grader was in operation right until the freeze lup in different parts of the township and he felt that its work spoke for it- self. The concrete culverts and brid- ges which were built under the super- vision of the Township Road Superin- tendent were good structures and a credit to the township and to the workman responsible. At the beginn- ing of the year it was planned to keep the expenditure down so that there would be no increase in the levy. A‘ new truck was bought at a cost of} $5000 and it had proved a good invest- ment and given good results. It has meant that we had the equipment to I do work when and where we wanted it & We were able to do it much cheap- er than by hiring trucks. Our town- ship rate was the same as in 1926 namely 8.2 mills. At the outset. we Vaughan Township Council was giv- en an acclamation at the annual nomi- nation meeting held at Vellore on Monday afternoon. There was a fair- ly large crowd in attendance and the meeting. was featured by an absence of anything in the nature of criticism of the 1927 administrations All the electors seemed satisfied. with the work done in the past year and satis- fied that the elected representatives had given excellent service to the township. There was not a discord- ant note in the whole proceedings and everyone was satisfied to see the en- tire 1927 council elected for another year to look after the affairs of the township. J.B. McLean. clerk and treasurer of the township presided during the formal proceedings of the nomination and then called on J.T. Saigeon, a former Reeve of the Vaughan and Commissioner Elect of the new Police Village of Maple to occupy the chair. This position Mr. Saigeon filled in his usual capable manner and kept every- one in good spirits with his ready wit. He commented that the council of this year 'must have done pretty good work because the people seemed satisfied and it was a well known fact that if you didn’t do your work right in Vaughan the electors would not be hesitant in turning you out.

He wished all the compliments of the season and said that he hoped the work would go on in 1928 with credit to the Township of Vaughan and in a manner satisfac- ory to the ratepayers. Deputy-Reeve Robson Deputy-Reeve Robson thanked the electors for the acclamation which had been accorded him it was a pleasure to stand before the people and know that they had confidence in you he said. In an outline of the years work in the County he said that one of the fore- most problems was the rapidly in- creasing cost of education. It was a notable fact that the more urban mun- icipalities were not only demanding more education but were demanding more and better schools with all the frills of modern times. As a remedy he suggested that advisability of con- sidering the support of the proposed‘ metropolitan area which meant clipp- |ing off the southern section and lett- iing them solve their own problems which were so different from those in the more rural municipalities. He explained that the addition to the In- dustrial Home at Newmarket was ‘ necessary because of the new policy of l the province by whic many inmates i of other institutions would be removed to the home here. In township affairs he favored more coâ€"operation the com- missioners in dragging so that the drags could be kept going steadier! than in the past. He suggested that ' Edangerous hills in the township be sprinkled in the interests of safety. i Deputy-Reeve Farr Deputy-Reeve Farr wished one and ‘all the compliments of the season. He had enjoyed the past year as there ‘was a pleasant evidence of unanimityl l in the years deliberations although the members did not always see eye to eye with one another. He had served six years a representative of the town- ship an this had been his first year in County work and therefore he was just nicely getting; into the run of things there.

He felt that more work should be done in the northern section. Some of the roads Up there are so bad you need a crutch and a stick to walk on them, he said. Thanked the electors for his election last year and for the nomination for the year 1928. He had given his best in the service of the township in the past year and was willing to be a candidate for the coming year. he felt that the municipality was fortâ€" unate in having such competent work- men. Mr. Baker dealt at some length -with the problem of weeds. Consitions in the past were a disgrace he asked the co_0peration of every i‘atepayer in .rid the township of the menace. He felt it would pay a farmer to cut weeds in front of his own farm. Special Matinees Saturday, Dec. 3lst and Mon., Jan. 2nd Coming January 5, 6, and 7.
