Hume, clerk and treasurer of the municipality, was unanimously chosen to act as chairman for the after meeting, and at the outset gave a very thorough and clear statement of the financial affairs of the village. He pointed out that of the total tax rate only {comparatively small pro‘ portion was controllable by the local council, much of the levy being for fixed charges to meet debenture pay- ments, interest, county taxes, school expenses, etc. Mr. Hume said that he was pleased to say that the finan- cial standing of the municipality at the close of this year was more fav- orable than for many years. The overdraft of some $11,000.00 which existed at the end of last year had been reduced by some $3,000.00 This very satisfactory standing would be better still, he said, if all the taxes of the year had been paid. If all the 1933 tax levy had been paid we would be able to present a clear sheet and have a substantial surplus, and be able to reduce taxation next year by some 10 mills. quirements of the Ontario Statutes which provide that 10 per cent must be added to unpaid taxes in May each year, the clerk urged that ratepayers in their own interests as Well as the interests of the village make an effort to meet tax instalments as they come due. Speaking of the problem of reâ€" lief the clerk pointed out that 48 men had been given work during the year through the efforts of the reeve and council in getting relief grants. In closing Mr. Hume stated that he was satisfied that taking everything- into consideration Richmond Hill was in la very satisfactory financial position.

Little, 3. member of the 1933 council, declared himself a candidate for re-election and asked for the sup- port of the electors. “We have had a good year” he said, “and if re-elected will endeavour to carry on in an efâ€" ficient and economical way.” William Neal said that he probably wouldn’t have much to say as unlike the sitting members of council he had no record to defent. “I intend to stand for election to council and if favored with your support I’ll ap- preciate it and do my best for the village,” he said. In the absence of councillor H. J. Mills the chairman called on D. M. Chamney to speak on his behalf. Mr. Chamney said that he did not hesitate to place the name of H. J. Mills in nomination for council for another year. “We all know of his splendid record of service,” said Mr. Chamney, “and that he has been a valuable member of the council for several years.” Councillor James McLean gave an accounting of his stewardship as chairman of the roads and sidewalks committee. He told of the work done during the year and said he felt that the streets had been kept in pretty good shape and the best use made of the money'available. In the work of the year be appreciated the splendid co-operation of the' Reeve and mem- bers of the council. Councillor Wes Middleton who has served as chairman of the water- works committee told of the improve-ments which had been brought about during the year. The improvements made at the waterworks assured an ample supply of water and helped maintain the high quality. Mr. Mid- dleton stated he would be a candidate lor i‘e-election and would at all times endeavour to work for the best in- terests of the village. A. A. Eden, chalrman of the Board of Education, spoke on behalf of the nomination of Mrs. O. L. Wright for school trustee. “Mrs. Wright has oeen a very valuable member of the Board,” he said, “and I would like to see her continue.” Alex. Little who nominated A. E. Plewman for the School Board urged to electors to give him their support. “I think Mr. Plewman would make a. splendid school trustee,” he said. F. N. Hopper seeking re-election as a member of the Board of Education said that he was willing to continue to serve the electors and asked for their support in the coming elections. Rev. L. C. Secrett standing for reâ€" election to School Board said that he placed his services at the disposal of the ratepayers. If they desired his services he was happy to continue to serve them. Wes Middleton spoke on behalf of R. D. Little who was nominated for School Board. “Mr. Little is well known as a successful businessman and I know the electors would make no mistake if they supported him for Lhe Board of Education for the com- ing year,” said councillor Middleton. D. M. Chamney urged support for L. A. Hill as member of the Board. Mr. Hill is well known to all the rate- payers, said his nominator, and I know he would be a. capable and ef- ficient member of the Board. R. A. Tyndall spoke on behalf of Wesley Palmer and asked the electors to support him with their votes on election day. Called on to speak as a nominee for the reeveship councillor McLean said that he was nominated both for reeve and council and would make‘up his mind later to which office he would seek. “I think Reeve Greene has given the town splendid service and should receive an acclamation,” said councillor McLean, “however, if there is an election I might consider getting in the fight.” J. A. Monkman who is a candidate for reeve said that he hadn’t thought much about seeking the office of reeve, but had been urged to do so by a number of people and had decidâ€" ed to stand for election. “I don’t know if its a good thing to do, let reeves stay in for indefinite periods, a change often does good. I will be in the field as a candidate for the reeveship of 1934.

We have been able to reduc; the overdraft which existed at the end of 1932 by some $3,000.00. The Reeve reviewed the work of the various departments and dealt with the problem of relief. Previous to this year no assistance was reâ€" ceived from the government for re- lief purposes. This year the councn approached the government and has received back 66 and two thirds :0; the amount spent on relief this year, and also was successful in obtaining a similar percentage of the amoun. spent from May until December in 1932. This meant a saving of several hundred dollars to the ratepayers 0; Richmond Hill. In addition the work done on the roads this fall was under the government’s relief plan and only one third of the cost borne by Richâ€" mond Hill. The village roads beneâ€" fitted by the work and men who badly needed work were given employment. Turning back to County affairs the reeve referred to the taking over by the county of the Maple sideroad which was now in excellent shape. The equalized assessment of Rich- mond Hill for County purposes hm. been reduced with the result Lhat thi- year Richmond Hill paid some $4303., less for County purposes than m 1932..
