All the Work was laid out by the council and carried out under the supervision of the road superinten- dent. The subsidy received from the Province on 1927 expenditure amountâ€" ‘ed to $15,574.15 and Reeve Gohn paid tribute to the road superintendent who carried out the work to the satisâ€" faction of the Department of High- “'3 y S Deputy Reeve R. L. Stiver Deputy Reeve Stiver reviewed the work in the County Council and gave detailed figures of the expenditure in} the various departments of the Counâ€" ty administration. He referred to the rapidly mounting costs of Secon- dary Education, Mothers Allowances} Municipal Relief and general admin- istration charges. Municipal Goverâ€" Inment charges in the county adminisâ€" tration this year amounted to $20,â€" 938.80 as compared to $8,688.50 in 19- 25. His presentation of matters ef- fecting the county was followed by an exhaustive statement concerning township affairs. He referred to the construction of the new shed at the Township Hall. He said that the members of the council agreed that i the building of a new shed was ad- visable. After calling for tenders on different kinds of construction a steel structure was decided upon. The tender of Mr. Maynard for $615. was accepted and the concrete work on a very substantial wall as recommended by the. township engineer was done by day work, which brought the total cost of the shed to 5851. He felt sure that the shed was a creditable one and pointed out that it was a per- manent improvement which would be an asset of the township for years to come. Mr. Stiver thanked the electors for‘ the magnificent vote of confidence given .him last January and said that during the year he had striven at all times to pursue a policy of rigidec- onomy consistent with progressive'ad- ministration. “One of the first matters dealt with” he said,” was. the fixing of the salary of the road superinten- dent, and I opposed a suggestion of $125. per month for eight months, but supported the motion calling for $125 for eight months and fifty dollars per month for the four winter months. I did this on the understanding that the road superintendent was to take his coat off and go to work. I have been somewhat disappointed in the way‘ Iwork has been carried out this year. When the council made the annual in- spection of the roads this year we in- structed that several ditches be clean- ed out but instead of being cleaned out in some cases new ditches were made and in some instances moved back to make a twentyâ€"four foot road [which was not ordered by the major- ity of the council. The council de- cided to build a twenty foot culvert between lots 15 and 16, con. 2 where the road happens to be through a swamp. And to my surprise I find that instead of carrying out the in- structions of the majority of the coun- cil the culvert was built 24 feet wide. It would cost more to widen this road to 24 feet than the 20 foot culvert would have cost. We have all heard a great deal of talk this year about the work being “held up.” I submit that no work could progress under the system used by the road superintenâ€" dent this year. When the council de- cided on the work to be done this year a list was handed to the superinten- dent. The superintendent, instead of handing a list to each c0mmissioner he merely laid out for them one job at a time, and I am informed the same system was used with the men who drew gravel. This system did not en- able the men who Were to carry out the work a half a chance to plan their season’s work and get it done. In my opinion this is the only reason for the work being held up. n Deputy>Reeve Stiver dealt in detail with the work on the Scarboro town- line. “In July” he said “the whole council inspected the townline and the Reeve was appointed to expend joint- ly with Seal-bore 31000. One month passed and nothing was done. In August I was appointed along with the Reeve to carry out the former in- structions of the council. 1 was unâ€" able to get the Reeve to make an ap- pointment with Scarboro and in Sen- ‘tember I was appointed as commissi- oner in charge of the work , I con- sulted the Scarboro commiss{0ner and we agreed to spend $200 from Arm- dale to Milliken and $800 from the Kennedy road West. The total cost of the Work on this road was $1068. We also agreed to spend $300. east of Armdale and I was informed that this gravel could be put on by Scarboro trucks for $1. per yard. Scarboro went ahead and spent $685 not authâ€" orized by me but if this $685_had been }:Ie-s? 6? fihé Kehnedy road it would have completed the work undâ€" el'taken. It has been a spurce of _1'e- gret to me that the fourth concession has been neglected. I consulted with the members of the Toronto and York Roads Commission and reported the condition of the road to them.

The reeve has no decla more votes than any member of the was council;' he occupies the chair and has thl‘ot just the casting vote. I am glad to for 2 say that in this year’s council every poset man spoke for himself. We did not 0f .Vf always agree but in the end we a1- P0 fi ways came to a decision which we 1n 1 felt was in the best interests of this othei township which we serve.

The County Council now seems to have beâ€" come more or less a matter of comâ€" mittees. A committee for this, that and everything. Formerly the Warâ€" den and Commissioners did most of the work. I was in former years a member of the Education Committee when the expenses outside of sessional indemnity amounted to 812. This year it has mounted to $300. The duties of the Legislative Committee of the County are to watch closely any legislation which will effect the coun- ty. When the legislature closes and when there is no contentious legisâ€" lation before the Legislature they cease to function. Last year this committee had five meetings between June and November at $8. per day and mileage, amounting to $80 per day for five meetings. The equalization committee (I Was a member of it one time) cost during 1928 over $2000. I mention these matters as only examp- les of the many small items which contribute to the mounting cost of County administration. V an... w-......__, Referring to the township shed Mr, Padget said he was the mover of the motion authorizing the work. I think in a Township such as we represent that the old sheds at the township hall were a disgrace. A committee of Mr. Stiver and Mr. Smith was appoinâ€" ted. There were no strings to them ‘and they built the shed. Mv motion {also called for the construction of a vault in this building for the safe- keeping of the valuable papers and documents of the township. I think it is only proper that such a vault be constructed as some time the day will come when the clerk’s office will be in this hall. At the same meeting- it was proposed to expend from three to five thousand dollars on this hall to conform to the government requireâ€" ments that. it be designated 2). Com- munity Hall. I knew Well the finan- cial condition of our municipality and I did not think this the time to make any such expenditure for all the ad- vantage We would deprive in the small government grant. I moved the resolution to pay the road superintendent $125 per month, foreight months. The council deâ€" cided otherwise but I fail to see yet whv the work could not be done in eight months. Other municipalities hire a road superintendent by the dav. We could do likewise if we chose. In June We went over all the roads and laid out the expenditure for the year. The appropriation amounted to ap- proximately $130 per mile. While it may seem small there were many mil- es of road which did not have a dollar spent on them this summer, but many of these are secondarv roads and not carrying a heavy traffic. .. . .. vu A.y...b ._ Hy-“ During the year we considored side- walks for Yonge Street. Anv sane man who knows conditions as they ex- ist there recognizes the need of them. The traffic is extraordinarily heavy and the absence of sidewalks is a men- ace to public safety. It was agreed to spend $750 and that the reeve be a committee to act with the reeve of Vaughan in carrying out the work as they saw fit. How much has been expended I cannot say but I know we have very few sidewalks. The expenditure of the sixth con- cession could not be avoided. It is a township road and is of a type which we must keep in repair or we will lose what we have. Increase in Industrial Farm Tax Deputy Reeve Padget explained that he was not appointed a commisâ€" sioner in any way to get a revision in the assessment of the industrial farm ‘at Langstaff. “I took it upon myâ€" lsplf fa have 1t done as I knew the time at Langstaff. ' “I took it upon my- self to have it done as I knew the time for a revision had elapsed by five years. I interviewed Ithe Mayor and was referred to the property commis. sioner and then to the Board of Con- trol. They said what do you want. I stated our -case that I Wanted that 640 acres which is now assessed for $65,000 increased to an assessment of $80,000 and that the Cit}v pay all tax- es except, the County RoarJ tax.“ At the road last year and saw three cars stuck. I said it was a disgraceful condition for a road serving taxpayers of this township and I was in favor of fixing it. Mr. Padget referred to the Deacon' bridge which gave way a short time‘l ago. Some members of the council; had favored building a new bridge this ‘ summer but on finding that it could' be repaired for a moderate cost he op- .posed a new bridge. Itvwas repaired . ‘under supervision of the engineer for. $176. It was inspected by him and5 declared to be as good as the day it was built. Unfortunately it went through and again the suggestion was for a new bridge right away. I op- posed building the bridge at this time of year as it would have to cost thirty to fifty per cent. more than doing it in the summer time. In time two other members of the council support. ed me and the bridge was repaired for $29. and the bridge can be built anoth- er year for from two to four thousand ‘ dollars less than this fall. We are endeavouring to get some of next year’s gravelling‘ done this wintâ€" er said Mr. Padget. The gravel which is put between December 15th and De- cember 30th would come out of next year’s appropriation for these cards but the people would have the good of the gravel next spring. _ have expended” he said. Mr. Smith who was a member of the committee in charge of the construction of the new shed said he felt'the new struc- ture was a credit to the Township of Markham and that it had been built in the most economical manner. He expressed himself as favorable to the construction of a~vault in the town- ship hall and said that the time was not far distant when the clerk’s office should be in the building where the clerk would be for certain hours in thc day at the service of the ratepayers of the township. He was of the oninioi that roadwork was left too late in thr season and that the best was not re ceived for money spent in the latr months of the season. The “Mr‘ should be \done in July and Autmst and he intended to see that this nolic‘ was carried out if possible. He men. tioned certain roads which needed 0* ltention, the tenth concession, the Thornhill sideroad and others \vh‘r" lhad a heavy traffic and which needed ‘attention from the 1929 courrfil. “l’ .re-elected I will aim to 21% HM H" ‘payer value for money: paid into th} township, and I appeal for ycur sny‘ port on election day.” Councillor R.

He said he fakvored a higher salary for the road superintendent as he felt he was The speaker dealt in detail with the finances of the township of which he has a thorough understanding and stated that the 1928 council was fin- ishing the year about $5000 to the good. “I have always worked as your representative to get for you one hundred per cent. value for your mon- ey. Next Monday you Will be called upon to choose men to administer a five million dollar concern. Mark- ham Township is a five million dollars estate and you should pick five men big enough to administer the affairs of such an estate for the coming year. Pick the best men you can get. My highest ambition is to render service. I have had all the honors the township can confer and I have had the highest honor which is the gift of the county so I have no personal ambitions to gratify and have no aspirations to the reeveship. If I can do something for my native township I am willing to do it. Councillor R. A. Smith who return- ed to the council last year thanked the electors for the splendid support given him in all parts of the township last year. He assured the ratepayers that he had served the township during the past year with the aim of giving the people value for the money paid in taxes. “I have striven to get the best possible value for the money which yve a capable official and that if the town- ship paid him a better salary thrm would get even better service. “I thank the electors for their support last year and as a candidate this year I ask for you to vote again.” As I have always tried my best to serve in the best interests of the township.” J. R. Campbell J. R. Campbell a former member of the council was nominated for the reeveshin and for first deputy and asked the indulgence of the audience as he was not feeling very well. He said that he knew there would be a lot of prejudice for the man who r-"used an election this year. He criticized the 1928 council for reducinqr the salâ€" ary of the road foremen and the road superintendent. He said this might be economy but that they should have carried the economy right on down the [line and reduced their own salaries. He pointed out instances of neigh- bouring‘ municipalities where the reeâ€" ve and councillors received less re- numeration than is the case in Mark- ham. “If they cut their own salaries ham. 8100 8500 pointed all 1r Councillor R.

He had nothing to say of the a] work done in 1928 except that he did H not see much improvement in the u roads this year. He referred to the taking over of the road in Doncaster Park which took place during his e atime in council and explained very c: lfully the steps leading up the agree. lment with the E. T. Stephens Co., a 'whereby the township took over the n road and received $1000 from the Real t 'Estate firm. He said the only misâ€" ‘ltake was that they should have said '82000. instead of $1000. in makinge the agreement. He stated that if there was an election he would run for : second deputy reeve and assured thet electors of his best services. F. Coakwell I F. Coakwell who ran third in the1 race for council last year and who is again a candidate expressed his views . ' on a plan of township financingj ' whereby the large amount of unpaid ' taxes which must be carried by the l municipality every year could be off-i 'set by the co-operation of school sec.. tions to the extent of their loaning money to the township. He stated that if there was an election he would be a candidate. Iâ€"alv-u Notes By The Way Mr. Jas. Rennie nominated for coun- cillor declined the nomination with thanks. Councillor R. A.

The question isâ€"-who caused the The question election. “If there’s an election I will be a candidate was an expression heard at the nomination meeting. The mem- bers of the old council were content to stay in their former positionsâ€"so who calised the election? Mr. J. R. Campbell drew attention to a bad hole which was in the road near his place all summer and which was only fixed in December. Mr. Padget said that was one of the twen- ty four foot roads built by Mr, Camp- bell when he was in council. Regarding a grant from the Depart- ment for the sixth concession, Mr. Padget; said he interviewed both coun- ty and roads commission on the mattâ€" er.
