The general impression this morning is that the council's action will have an important bearing on the coming municipal elections when the proposed agreement is very likely to become a Reeve Lunau advanced the argu- ment that there was not a full council at the present time to deal with such an important problem. Councillor Hill said that as a coun- cil they had been elected to transact the public business. “If this council hasn’t got brains enough to deal with business as it comes before it, then it should be shifted” he said. ngday's meeting adjourned with the agreement to meet in special session on Wednes- day evening to deal with this matter. At the meeting last night Reeve Lu- nau, councillors McLean and Chapman were bresent and any action on the proposed agreement was laid over for' the 1929 council. CouncillOr Hill was absent due to illness. Councillor McLean said he had not been able to go very carefully into the agreement and he would favor holding a spe‘cialmeeting to deal with it. Councillor Chapman said he thought the council should deal with it one way or another and moved that a special meeting be called which the solicitor would be asked to attend. The matter of taking over the old high school for a municipal building was definitely laid on the shelf until the New Year, at a special meeting of the Richmond Hill council on Wednes- day night. At the regular meeting last Friday evening», the subject was introduced and the majority favored dealing with\it this year and agreed to call a special meeting on Wednesday to take some action. Reeve Lunau favored leaving any action over until after the election. He said that he did not like to sign any such agree- ment in the dying hours of the council. Councillor David Hill said he did not believe in procrastination and he wanted a poll of the council. 5h0==0l=l0 MUNICIPAL BUILDING PROPOSAL A PROBABLE ELECTION ISSUE 9=°=°=0==01=0 After Meeting In Special Session to Deal With Agree- . ment Council Defers Action.

The agreement was drawn up by the instructions of the council and Was afterwards altered to coincide with their Wishes. No member of the council has ever oppos- ed the agreement in council and all have spoken very decidedly in favor of the proposition. ‘There is every reason to believe that they are still of the same opinion as the only reason advanced for leaving it over until next year was that it was so near the end of the year. It is rumored that those in opposition to the agreement will take the “hustlings” in opposition to the present council who have fathered the agreement and that a real live campaign may be the result.

The Liberal will be glad to hear from any distant sub- scribers who listen in on the program. Remember the date, Wednesday evening, December 19th from ten to eleven o’clock. SHIRLEY MASON WILLIAM COLLIER, Jr. Johnnie Walker HEADFORD 0=Ol=02 Yon ge at Castlefield app Outside of the 1928 council there are rumors of many aspirants. For the reeveship ex-councillor Greene who was an unsuccessful candidate by a narrow margin twa years ago is pro- minently mentioned. He has made no statement of his intentions to date but as he withdrew last year only be- cause there was no election for the other offices and he did not desire to cause an election it is probable that if there is a contest anywhere this year that his name will be on the ballot that his 1 somewhere Several names are consistently men- tioned as probable entries for the council seats. Probably most prom- tinent among these is W. H. Murphy at present a member of the school board and president of the Board of Trade who is being urged to offer himself for election. Ex-councillor Robert Endean is being urged to re- turn to the municipal arena and Hen- ry Davis is mentioned as a probable candidate. In Richmond Hill Reeve Lunau is completing his third term as chief magistrate. Whether he has tired of the glamour of office and the respon- sibility of the position or Whether he is still fired with a desire to serve the conmmunity and willing to continue as reeve if the electorate is agreeable is not known. So far he has not committed himself nor given any hint as to his intentions. However he has inever intimated that he will retire and ‘it is pretty well taken for granted, that he will be a candidate for 1929. Councillor McLean has been in muni- ‘cipal life for a number of‘ years but if he harbors a desire to fill the reeve’s chair in the coming year he has not yet declared his intentions. Indeed‘ he has not even said whether he Willi Ibe a candidate for council. Council]- or David Hill returned to the munici- pal arena last January- and it was the] italk at that time that he would prob- ‘ably be a candidate for reeve in 1929, and thus round off his municipal car- :eer which includes many years of ser- vice with a term as chief magistrate. Councillor Hill has not made any inti- mation of his intentions or aspirations but it would create no surprise if he should accept a nomination for the reeveship. Councillor Albert Chap- man is serving his first year in the council, having been elected to fill the vagancy caused by the resignation of J. R. Herring-ton, and he will probably be a candidate for reâ€"election. There has been a vacancy on the council for sometime due to the resignation of Gordon H. Sloan. There has Been a lot heard about a Board of Trade “slate” for the coming election but although municipal matt- ers have been discussed at meetings of the organization no intimation of such action has been received, and as the next meeting is not until the sec- ond Monday in January is not likely that any such course will be adopted. The Board will however take an actiVe interest in endeavouring to create in- terest in the coming municipal nomi- nation and will strive to have as large attendance of ratepayers as possible at the meeting to hear local matters discussed. The poles for the Hydro wires have been planted to the townline. Many people are anxiously waiting to. see the Wires strung to carry them heat and light. ' Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Steckley, who have been in South Africa for the past eleven years, serving as missionaries from the “Brethren in Christ,” returnâ€" ed this week to spend their furlough in‘the home land. Their many friends here gave them a warm welcome. Revival services being held in Heise Hill Church are well attended. The municipal pot which according to all the laws of averages should be starting to “boil” about now, has not even started to simmer. Nomination day is on December 315i; and on Satur- day next the statuatory meetings of all municipal councils Will be held. Election Prospects Are Still ln Doubt GORMLEY I The pupils in No. 5 report their pro- lgram is the best they have prepared [for years. They desire the support .of their friends in the contest with No. _7 as they intend to send their visitors home to eat their Christmas turkey with minds cleared of all conceit. A silver collection at the door. The pupils of No. 5, Markham are getting ready to render an excellent program in their school room on Fri- day, December 21,,at 8 p. m. The program will consist of choruses, reci- tations, dialogues, drills and a contest among pupils of the school in mechani- cal Arithmetic. A contest has been a1‘-‘ ranged between the Fourth Class in No. 5 and Sr. III class in No. 7. The Gormley class are presenting an dia- logue “married in haste” which will satisfy the most exacting. Miss Blanche Britnell, elocutionist, Toronto will also assist in the evening’s enter- tainment. Another fire visited the fourth line early Wednesday morning when the barn of Mr. Thompson, 101: 17, was completely destroyed. Fortunately the live stock was all removed before the fire destroyed them. Cause of fire is a complete mistery. Mr. Chas. Hooper visited Santa Claus on Wednesday. Everybody is expecting a fine present Charlie. ‘ TUNE IN on Richmond Hill’s Radio Hour next Wednesday evening.
