The Township Veterans organizaâ€" tion was given free use of the hall for their annual Christmas tree, and $6.00 paid in rentals by the same‘ organization for euchres was ordered refundied as the money raised .by veterans is used for welfare work. Reeve Padget and all the members! of council expressed the utmost sym-l pathy for the splendid work being“ carried on by the veterans organiza- tion. in The statutory meeting of council was held Tuesday when the curtain was rung down on the year’s acâ€" tivities. The treasurer’s statement showed the township finances to be in a very satisfactory condition and reports of tax collections are very gratifying. There is much speculation con- cerning election prospects in Markâ€" ham township and rumors ‘Which have gained considerable momentum during- the week indicate that Counâ€" cillor Charles Hooper will be a can- diidate for deputyâ€"reeve and that there will be several offering themâ€" selves for the council seats. Wheâ€" ther present Deputyâ€"reeve James Rennie will stand to contest the depâ€" uty-reeveship or step up to seek the reeveship is the big question asked where municipal affairs are discussâ€" ed. Another question is whether the} veteran George B. Padget will stand‘ for re..election if his present deputy} seeks the position. These all arei questions which only the result of‘ the official nomination on Monday, December 28th will answer. In any event at this stage of affairs an acâ€" clamation for all looks unlikely and a spirited election looms as not a remote possibility. ‘Dame rumor mentions ex-delputy-reeve Robert Smith, ex-deputy-reeve R. L. Stiver and ex.deputy.reeve W. L. Clark as council candidate possibilities in ad- dition to former deputy-reeve Kin- caid and others new to municipal life are being urged to plunge into the fray. The annual report of Dr. C. R. Mackay, M.O.H., was submitted to council along with the account for services amounting to $314.25. This included» $110.00 for inspection 9f 22 schools, and also $90.00 for adminâ€" istration of toxoid in the munici- pality. Markham Twp. Council Swing Time THURS, FRI., SAT., DEC. 24-25-26 Ginger Rogers Fred Astaire BRIDGE AHOY IN Xmém RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17th, 1936. Mr. Hume thanked the reeve for his kind remarks and stated that in his 31 years as clerk he had always had the harmonious cmoperation of members of council. It is a source of much satisfaction he said‘ that in all that time there has not been any friction between myself and the var- ious councils. Reeve Greene paid tribute to the very efficient services rendered to the municipality by! clerk and trea- surer A. J. Hume. His work has made the work of myself and memâ€" bers of council 9. whole lot lighter, he said. Councillor Mills who has charge of the arena and parks expressed his pleasure on serving in the council for the past year. I have enjoyed it very much, he said. Councillor James McLean stated that he had enjoyed the work in council during the past year very much. While the electric light de- partment showed a deficit it was largely due to the rebate that was made to consumers during the year. Collections which are difficult in these hard times were as good as for- mer years. I may be an opponent of the present reeve for the reeve~ ship in the coming- elections. While he’s a mighty good fellow I think possibly I may seek to step up and be in the field for reeve. Councillor P. C. Hill said that he was completing his first year as a member of council and as a new member the work while new to him had been very pleasant. As chair. man of the waterworks department he had endeavoured to administer that department on a businessâ€"like basis. It had been his aim to reduce the amount outstanding in arrears for water services and he had suc- creeded in improving conditions in this regard. Improvements had been made in the heating system at the waterworks plant which should prove a benefit and in the end» he more economical. The waterworks depart- ment shOWed- a substantial surplus for the year, he said. Councillor Alex Little stated that during the year he had charge of the roads department and while there might be some complaints the com,â€" mittee had endeavoured to do the best possible work with the money available. He would likely be a can- didate for council for 1937. Reeve J. A. Greene expressed his sincere thanks to all the members of council for the help and co-oper- ation during the past year. “Every member has worked Wholeâ€"heartedly for the welfare of Richmond Hill and the splendid spirit of co-operation had been of great assistance in carry- ing on the business of the village in these difficult times,” he said, iReferring' to county affairs he intiâ€" mated that several items ,of major importance to Richmond Hill would: come before the County Council in} 1937. These included the equalizaâ€"j tion of assessment and the changesf pending in the method of payment} for secondary education. He inti-; matedl also that early in the Newll Year the future of the radials would be considered by the commission re-v presenting the four co-operating’ municipalities. “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Ljperty; In All Things, Charity” At the statutory meeting- of Richâ€" mond Hill council Tuesday evening Reeve Greene stated that he would seek re..election as Reeve for 1937 and councillor James McLean inti- mated that likely he also would be a candidate for the reeveship. Coun- cillors H. J. Mills, Alex Little and P. C. Hill expressed their willing- ness to stand for re-election but so far no one outside the council has declared their intentions of running, but it is considered likely that Chrisâ€" tian Nelson, who made an excellent run last year, will be a candidate for the seat: vaqatedi if councillor McLean seeks the higher office of Reeve. Ex-councillor W. Neal who unsuccessfully contested the reeve- ship last year is also mentioned as a possible council aspirant and beâ€" fore the official nomination day which will be Monday, December 28 several others may enter the race. At the final meeting of the year Tuesday evening clerk and treasurer A. J. Hume presented the annual fin- ancial statement which indicated the finances of the municipality to be in very satisfactory condition. The treasurer intimated that as near as he could estimate at the present time the financial standing of the town at the end of 1936 would be improved over a year ago.
