MAJOR MCKENZIE ACCLAIMED AS REEVE 0F WOODBRIDGE iastlefield “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty In All Things, Charity" RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, JANUARY 3rd, 1935 I am a candidate for Reeve for 1935 and ask for your support for re-elec- tion. I have had an ambition to be elected the Warden of York County and I would like to be given that honor and to secure that honor for Vaughan township. I extend to one and all sincere best wishes for a very happy and prosperous New Year. up their tax payments. Road ex-' penditure for the year amounted to some $28,000.00 and of this approx- imately $13,000.00 was relief work on which the municipality gets a gov- ernment grant of two thirds of the ‘ amount. Direct relief cost about $15,000.00 and after deducting gov- ernment grants cost the ratepayers of Vaughan about two and one quar- ter mills. Referring to township matters the Reeve said the past year was quite satisfactory, and he expressed on be- half of himself and members of council sincere thanks to the rate- payers for their coâ€"operation. The reduced tax rate established a couple of years ago was maintained and the financial standing of the township to-day is as good as any municipality in Ontario. The matter of unpaid taxes presented a real and vexatious problem, he said, and urged all rate- payers to.make a real effort to keep “in the county. Secondary education costs had been materially reducedl [It was a noteworthy fact, he said,‘ that in the year now closing the [county had lived‘ Within its budget.‘ The action of the provincial govern-‘ ment in taking over the full cost‘ of provincial highways would easel‘ county taxation and was very much appreciated. As evidence of the im-‘ ‘proved financial position of the coun- 1ty Reeve Kellam. said that in 1932 there Was no sale for county deben- tures but this year they sold at prac- tically par. The only department of government in the county to exceed its budget was the welfare depart, ment. Hospitalization, Mothers’ Al- lowances and Old Age Pensions ex- penditure was continually on the in- crease. The reeve explained the re-i organization of the Children’s Aidl Society now under way and expressed' the hope that when the (e-organiza- tion was completed the work of the Society would be aimed on in an economical and efficient manner. The work of re-organization was being directed by the Ontario government assisted by a committee of fifteen, and one member of that committee is J. S. McNair of Vaughan township. The nomination meeting held at Vellore on Monday was very largely attend-ed and the ratepayers gave evidence of keen interest in municipal affairs. Criticism levelled at the 1934 council centered mostly around relief matters and the payment of 20 cents per hour for relief work which it was claimed was not a living wage. In dealing with county affairs, Reeve George Kellam showed a thor- ough grasp of county matters. He stated he was very happy to state that the financial position of the County of York was greatly improv- ed. All 1933 levies with one except- ion had been paid and this was a great improvement to the position ex- isting a few years ago. In the past couple of years there had been real progress in bringing about economies Following the official nomination Mr. J. B. McLean, the esteemed clerk and treasurer of the Township, was selected as chairman and the mem- bers of the 1934 council and the new aspirants address-ed the ratepayers. Reeve George Kellam, an aspirant for the 1935 York County Warden- ship and assured of an acclamration for this high office, if returned as Vaughan’s reeve, faces opposition in the_municipal elections next Monday. His opponent is James Robson, an ex-reeve of the Township. Deputy- reeve Robert W. Dooks is opposed by Robert W. Scott, who, after four years service in council, is seeking promo- tion to the d-eputy-reeveship. Boyn- ton Weldrick and Duncan McMurchy, two members of last years council, seek re-election, and J. A. Dick, an unsuccessful aspirant in 1933, is also a. candidate. N. S. Duck-ett of Rich- vale, and James Wark, former C.C.F. candidate in North York, are two new aspirants in the municipal field and seek election as councillors.

Scott Candidates for Deputy- Reeveâ€"Councillors Weldrick and McMurchy Seek Re-election Along With Three New Aspirants Councillor Duncan McMurchy said that to-day. the councfl of Vaughan has the problem on its hands of deal- ing with the problems of two very different sections of the township. The problems of the people on the east side of the township differed greatly from those of the west side. Regarding the twenty cents per hour paid for relief work, he said, while it might not seem big to those formerly engaged in industrial pursuits at large wages, it was big money for the farmers to pay in their taxes. I (Continued on Page 8) Councillor Boynton Weldrick can‘- g'ratulated the electors for attending in such large numbers and thus showâ€"3 ing their interest in the municipal business. We accomplished a lot of1 work this year, he said, and now at; the end of another year, looking back: on what we have done, I am not ashamed of what we have done. The; gravel placed on our roads was ofl splendid quality and it Was placed on; the road at cost of about $1.00 per; yard. I have been a member of the Vaughan municipal council for two. and a half years and I will again offer myself for the coming year. If my service meets with your approval! I will be happy to give you my best Service in 1935. ers. If a family is entitled to four dollars weekly relief the head of the house will be given work enough to earn that amount. Under this plan the people will work for their relief. It is not my wish to cause an election but if there is one I will be a candi- date for deputy-reeve. Robert W. Scott drew attention to the increasing perplexity of muni- cipal problems. Since I first entered council four years ago, he said, the work has increased tremendome and the problems each year become more complex. Regarding the ques- tions brought forward by the associa- tion represented by Mr. Wark, Mr. Scott said,‘while- some of the pro- posals might be alright there were others which would take a lot of cone sideratio Take the demand for a living mgg'e, he asked, what is a liv- ing wage? “Enough to live on," said a voice in the audience. “But when have you got enough,” abked Mr. Scott. “When we’re full up,” ans- wered the ratepayer. “But it takes a lot more to fill some than others,” said Mr. Scott. Dealing with the work program Mr. Scott explained how it will work. He pointed out that a program covering a certain expen- diture had been agreed to by the gov- ernment. Under this plan those in need will work for their relief and‘ will be paid in cash instead of vouchfl R. W. Dooks, Deputyâ€"Reeve, said in reply to certain questions submitted to the meeting and the candidate by Jas. Wark that to some of the ques- tion he could answer yes and to some he must answer no. The question submitted advocated abolition of the County Council, formation of a Reâ€" lief Board, advocating of unemploy- ment insurance, payment of a living wage for relief work, etc., etc. The fact of the matter is that we cannot afford to raise wages in Vaughan, said Mr. Dooks. I only wsih we could, but We simply cath do it. We cannot do it without raising the taxes and the farmers of this town- ship can’t stand that. Mr. Docks made an earnest appeal to the elec- tors to re-elect Mr. Kellam that he might attain to the highest honor within the gift of the County Council, the office of Warden. After years of faithful service he is just within reach of that goal and I wouldn’t like to be the one to push the ladder away from under him. I believe in doing unto others as I would have others do to me, and I ask the elec- tors of Vaughan to place themselves in his place and consider the question from that angle. Mr. Docks said he would be a candidate for Deputy- Reeve and asked for the support of the electors. Regarding the future of the relief problem Mr. Docks said that he hoped the time would soon come when relief would be taken out of the hands of municipal councils and handled by the federal governâ€" ment. That‘s where the responsibility belongs, he said, and they have so many sources of revenue while the municipalities have only direct taxâ€" ation. ‘ St. Paulls Church, Vaughan, are holding anniversary services on Sun- day, Jan. 13th.
