Speak- ing of the township roads Mr. Wel- drick expressed the opinion that the various road commissioners should have made more free use of road drags. “If our roads had been drag- Deputy-Reeve R. W. Scott thanked the ratepayers for their generous support in past years and announced that he would be a candidate for the 1936 reeveship. The genial deputy- reeve congratulated the ratepayers on the large attendance at the nomina- tion meeting. It is evidence of your interest in municipal affairs, he said. Dealing with township and county affairs Mr. Scott stressed the fact that the administration of municipal business was not an easy task in these very strenuous times. He regretted that in 1935 it had been necessary to make an increase in the tax levy. However, those in charge of the town- ship affairs had no alternative as the township obligations had to be met. The matter of tax arrears represent- ed a serious problem, he said, and the considerable amount outstanding made township financing difficult and in- terest charges high. A feature of county administration which came under fire from Deputy-Reeve R. W. Scott was the Children’s Aid Society which this year cost the county $32,- 500.00. He said that he felt the county should have more control of an expenditure of this proportion. Reeve Kellam gave an interesting review of township and county af- fairs and announced that he was re- tiring from municipal affairs. Re- ferring to County problems he said that the southern municipalities which in recent years had been experiencing extreme hardships were struggling along and doing their best under very difficult circumstances. The retiring reeve expressed his sincere thanks to the ratepayers of Vaughan for their kindness to him during the years he held public office. I appreciate your confidence in electing me during all these years, said Mr. Kellam, and I wish the Township of Vaughan and all its people, the very best in the coming year. As it is, he said, we’re‘just'presented with the bill and told that we have to pay. Reeve James Cameron of Weston. a former reeve of Vaughan and an ex-warden of the County. was ap- pointed as chairman of the public meeting following the formal nomi- nation proceedings conducted by J. B. McLean, clerk and treasurer. The nomination meeting held at Vellore Monday afternoon was large- ]y attended, but was featured by a scarcity of anything in the nature of “fireworks” and it was one of the quietiest nomination meetings heid in recent years. The polls oven at 9 a.m. and close at 7 ram. and the six man race for vouncil while not attracting as much interest as if there had been a con- fest for the two higher offices gives promise of being: closelywontested. Reeve George Kellam, York Coun- tv’s 1935 Warden. announced at the nomination meeting: last Mondav that he was retiring from municipal life land the only ones nominated for the office were deputy-reeve R. W. Scott and former d-eputy-reeve R. W. Docks. Mr. Books for a time was undecided 1as to his intentions but early on ‘Tuesday intimated that he did not ‘ intend to contest the reeveship against Mr. Scott. Councillors Duncan McMurchy and J. A. Dick, members of the 1935 conn- cil, are seeking re-election and there are four other aspirants.

George Brownlee spoke as the nomiâ€" nator of James Robson who was abâ€" sent. Mr. Brownlee stated that he felt that Mr. Robson, with his long municipal experience, would add to the strength of the council if he would consent to stand for councillor. N. S. Duckett, who was a candidate for council last year, said he didn’t really think there was any need for an election this- year, but if there should be an election he probably would he a candidate. John Hostrawser said that he would be a candidate for council and if elect- ed by the ratepayers to this respon- sible office he would give the position his very best attention and strive to serve the best interests of the people of Vaughan Township. Cyril Baker said that he had been a resident of the township for fifteen years and would be a candidate for council. He advocated tax collections on a commission basis, the more the collector collected the more he should be paid. He pointed out that while the tax rate went up and the council were unable to do some things they had raised the salary of the road superintendent and were paying a big- salary to the relief officer. lin improving the town hall, They! lhave accomplished a real improve-l iment and the cost to the township 1was very small. Councillor Dick pointed out that the increase in the tax rate this year was due to the, deficit at the end of 1934. He crit- icized the use of the township truck} and expressed the belief that trucks: could be hired at less money than it, took to operate the township trucki He favored using screened gravel on‘ the roads. We must stop using pitl run gravel, he said. R. W. Dooks said that he guessed he had sinned in the eyes of some by not opposing Reeve Kellam for the reeveship last year, Knowing his. chances for the wardenship- I did not run against Mr. Kellam, he said, but if the electors could reinstate him where he left off he might be a can- didate for reeve. l i r Councillor J. A. Dick, who is com-! pleting his first year as a member of the c mncil, paid tribute to the Junior; Farmers, the Women’s Institute and the Vellore Old Boy's for their work! Councillor Duncan McMurchy, who has been laid up in recent months due to injuries, was able to attend the nomination meeting and he expressed his intention of being a candidate for council for the coming year. Mr. Mc- Murchy in discussing- township af- fairs observed that it was unfortun- ately true that prices of farm pro- duce were low, taxes seemed high and hard to raise. ged more in October, they would be better for it,” he said. I know some commissioners may be busy, but if you're busy, give your neighbor a chance of the job, was Mr. Weldrick’s suggestion. It is a serious thing to raise the tax rate in times like these, he said, but we have to maintain our financial position and meet our obli- gations and we saw no alternative.
