The former salary of this official was $1500.00 per aiinuin, and the reeve asked each member write on a resoâ€" lution form his suggestion regarding the future salary. Reeve Padget’s paper showed a suggestion of a re- duction of thirty per cent. Deputy Reeve Smith and Councillor Hoover suggested a 20 per cent cut and Councillors Clark and Coakwell sug- gested a reduction of 10 per cent. Speaking to the question, Clerk G. A. M. Davison said he was quite satis- fied to take a reduction and he agreed with the different members who thought this to be a time of retrench- ment. “I am interested in Markham township,” he said, “and I wouldn’t I the fai’iiiers He hail le-ii Ll i‘ai'iiicr himself and knew all about it.

In the vote on the question, Reeve Padget supported the resolution askâ€" ing for a 20 per cent cut along with Deputy Reeve Smith and councillor Hoover. Councillors Clark and Coak- well favored a ten per cent reduction. Following the same practice as in the former case, each member wrote on a resolution form his suggestion re the road superintendent. Reeve Padget suggested a salary of $5.00 per day when working, councillor Clark suggested a cut of 20 per cent, Deputy Reeve Smith a 25 per cent 12:30 p.m. and was still asleep at 3 p.m. We won’t stand for that. It was moved by Mr. Padget, sec- onded by Mr. Hoover, that the road superintendent be paid at the rate of .50 cents per hour while at work. A‘- though Deputy Reeve Smith formerly moved for a 25 per cent reduction in salary, he supported this motion and it was declared carried. Constable Walker was reduced from $40.00 per month to $35.00 per month. His mileage allowance of 6% cents per mile remains unchanged. This was decided on motion of councillors Clark and Coakwell with councillor Hoover supporting the motion. Reeve Padget and Deputy Reeve Smith cut, councillor CoakWell 20 per cent, moved for a salary Of .330-00 per and councillor Hoover suggested this month and 5 cents per "1119- official be hired and paid by the hour. At this juncture the following pet- tition was presented to the council by Mr. P. Forsytli, one of the road foremen of the township: “We, the undersigned, being ratepayers of the township of Markham, with the view towards reducing needless expendiâ€" ture and altering a condition which will be in a short time unbearable owing to reduced income and bus- iness depression, do make the follow- ing request for your approval: That whereas one W.

Speaking following the presentation of the petition road superintendent Maxwell said that the members of council were elected by the ratepay- ers to transact the business of the township and he didn’t think they should pay too much attention to a petition taken around by two agi- tators. In regards to salary, he was ready and willing to make a sacrifice as he knew very well the hard times Speaking to the question, Constable Walker said-he thought he was al- , ready underpaid. Reeve Padget said he didn’t want ‘ to be niggardly with any man, but if any employee thought he had been unfairly dealt with he had the privâ€" ilege of handing in his resignation at the next meeting. On motion of councillors Clark and , Hoover, the pay of the weed inspector was reduced from .40 cents per hour Ito .30 cents, with the same mileage allowance of .5 cents per mile. Reeve Padget and Deputy Reeve Smith had moved for a rate of .20 cents per hour. It was moved by Reeve Padget, ‘ seconded by Deputy Reeve Smith and carried unanimously that the indem- nity of the members of council be re- duced by twenty per cent.
