GE' Free Lunch Abner Summerfeldt, who is stand- ing for re-election, appealed to the citizens to make a real effort to pay Charles H. Hooper,a candidate for re-election to the council, told of the activities of the past year reviewing the road and bridge work done. He referred to'the relief problem as one ,of the major questions facing these charged with the responsibility of municipal government and said that as a member of Markham council it had been his aim to keep in mind those who had to pay $he taxes. Peputy-Reeye James Rennie stated thathe would be in the field again for the office of deputy-reeve. He referred to township and county af- fairs and looking forward to the com- ing year pointed out that the county equalization was a big and important problem facing the county representa- tives in 1936. He was hopeful that the 6th line would be taken over by the county. The deputy-reeve pointed with satisfaction to the fact that the amount owing to the township had been substantially reduced during the past year. I Albert Reesor, who is standing; for re-election as councillor after having served one year in this office, also referred with pride to the improve- ment shown in the tax arrears of the township, and of the general financial standing of the township of Markham. Councillor Reesor gave much credit for the good showing made in tax ar- rears collections to clerk and treasur- er Charles Hoover. Reeve G. B. Padget in giving an ac- lcount of the year’s activities in the township and county affairs pointed out that the affairs of the municipal- ity had been carried out as economic- ally as possible. With the low tax' rate maintained in the township main- tenance and work on the roads of necessity had to be kept to a minimum consistent with keeping the highways ‘ in shape. Several items of uncon- ltrollable expenditure added greatly to the burden of county taxation and the reeve referred to the increasing cost‘ of secondary education and-hospital- ization, also the increased cost of the York County Children’s Aid Society. This last item, the reeve pointed out, was one in which- the county had ho say except to provide the money asked for. Reev’e Padget said that during the year the closest attention had been given to all township business and the administration of relief and he would be pleased to serve the ratepayers for the coming year as reeve. ’ Reeve George B. Padget of Mark- :ham Township is opposed in next lMonday’s election, by former Deputyâ€" iReeve W. L. Clark who ran the vet- eran reeve a close race a year ago, being defeated by just fifteen votes. ‘The contest is no surprise (to Mark- gham voters and for some time the 1936 reeveship race has been expect- ‘-e(l to be a Clark vs Padget contest. The surprise package of the Mark- ham Township was the entry of ex- 1;eeve Wesley C. Gohn as a candidate for deputy-reeve in opposition to deputyâ€"reeve Rennie who has filled the deputy’s chair for one year. Mr. Gohn gave little indication on nomi- nation day that he intended to be a candidate and his qualification at 8.30 lTuesday night came as the surprise package of the campaign. At the outset of the meeting fol- lowing the official nomination on the suggestion of Reeve Padget a one minute silence was observed in honor of the memory of the late G. M. Davison, former clerk and treasurer of the municipality, who for many years presided at the annual nomina- tion meeting. Cox; Abner Summerfeldt by W. H. Tran and H. C. Reesor; F. J.

Coakwell. a former member of council who is seeking a seat on the council, promised to give the township business careful attention if elected to office. Ex-Reeve W. C. Gohn, who is a can- didate for deputy-reeve, said he felt that relief was administered too free- ly near election time. He said that the township did not need a relief officer in the summer as most of the work could be done by the road super- intendent. He said he did not have much hope of the government taking over the 6th concession. on a salary and he could not see where the economy was in this change The speaker criticized the county grant to the York County Children’s Aid and the extravagance of that or- ganization.
