(1 Hill 0:0) 0:0 Regarding the statement of Mr. McLean that I once said I only want. ed the reeves'hin for two or three years, I can only say I may have said it or I may not. In any event it is not a matter of selfishneSS or honor with me because I have had all the honor by now, but it is a matter of having the interests of the ratepayers at heart. These are imâ€" portant matters to the ratepayers of Richmond Hill and I have been in touch with them now for four years as your reeve. If you want me to carry on, if the record of the adminâ€" istration during the past four years when I have been. your reeve meets with your approval, I am willing to continue to serve you. If you would rather place these things in the hands of a new man, the decision rests with you on. January 4th. If you re-elect me I assure you I will as in the past spare no effort to pro- mote the welfare of the people. P. E. Angle P. E. Angle, candidate for re-elec- tion as school trustee said that he had served for six years as a memâ€" ber of the Board of Education and [felt the record of the Board was best reflected in our schools which he said were to-dayr up to a high standard of efficiency. As one of twelve members of the Board he could claim credit for that showing. All matters brought before the board were freely discussed and he felt given good attention. A. D. Buchanan A. D. Buchanan said he served for six years as trustee and would be a candidate for re-election. I am no yes man, and on the board we have not always agreed, but I believe in majority rule. If re-e1ected he favâ€" ored closer co-operation with the municipal council. I was in favor of the salary cuts given a few years ago, and if we install a new sanitary system at the public school I favor The matter of transportation on Yonge Street 81150 will be up for consideration in the coming yea1~. This is a matter of vital importance to Richmond Hill. Any definite ac- tion on the matter will be taken only after a vote of the people but I stub- mit it is a matter which deserves the most careful consideration. Another important question‘com- ing before the 1937 county council will be the matter of equalization of assessment. I have been fighting on this question ever since I first went to County council and next year will be an important one on equalization. The County has named three valu. ators who will bring in a report at the June session. Dealing with County affairs the reeve pointed out that several mo- mentous questions would be coming before the 1937 county council. One of these important questions is the matter of secondary education. he said. As you are aware a change was made this year by the Ontario legislature in the method of pay. ment for secondary education. This would work to the benefit of mun- icipalities which have not a high school, but would mean increased taxation for those municipalities which have a high school. As a re- sult of a resolution at the December session of York County council this legislation will not be effective in 1937 but it will be one of the vital questions up for discussion next year. If it had come into effect as first intimated it would have meant 33000 additional burden for Richmond Hill but we hope to obtain a change which will be more equitable for all. me assure you he said that this delbt reduction, tax reduction and reduc. tion in our overdraft was not ac. complished without real effort but was accomplished by! zealous atten- tion to all branches of municipal business and as a result of the c105- est. co.cpera1;ion of the ratepayers and the members of council. For Uhis fine co-operation from fellow. members of council and the ratepay- ers generally I am very thankful. Alex Little Councillor Littzle acclaimed as a member of the 1937 council said it had been a pleasure to serve as c0uncillor for the past four years. As chairman of the roads commit- tee some of the work may not have met with unanimous approval but “we did the best we could with the money that was available." H. J. Mills Councillor H. J. Mills stated that it had been a pleasure to serve as a member of the municipal council and the splendid statement of finances given by the clerk was gratifying to everyone. Dealing with the trans- portation question he said that there had been no definite proposals on the matter and that when the time came, before any action could be taken the people would have to de- cide the matter with their votes. J. A. Greene Reeve J. A. Greene tfhe last mem- ber of the 1936 council called on, re; viewed the financial position of the town and pointed out that when he' was first elected reeve in 1933 Rich.’ mond Hill had an overdraft of some $14,000.00 and a tax rate of 54 mil’ls. Tonight I am happy to say that although our tax rate has been reduced to 41% mills that overdraft has been reduced to $6000.00. Let New Year. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO R!"- 1 n.

For Trustee: P. E. Angle by James McLean and J. A. Greene; James Butler by F. N. Hopper and J. C. Ellis; A. D. Buchanan by J. Sanders and F. N. Hopper; L. A. Hill by J. A. Greene and A. A. Eden. Editor, The Liberal Sir:â€" At the nomination meeting Mon- day night one candidate for the posi- tion of school trustee brought for. ward a subject which I feel is of vital importance and as I am also a candidate for the same position I wish to make my position clear to the electors. P. E. ANGLE EXPRESSES VIEWS ON TEACHERS' QUALIFICATIONS The statement made was that tea- chers should! be engaged on their merit and not on their personality. This is an astonishing doctrine. Who can separate personality from merit? Mest certainly teachers should be treated on their merit, but merit is not measured by cramming children through examinations. In my opin- ion the primary purpose of the school is to train boys and girls to become useful citizens as men and women. This training must include a soaial element. The one thing that all pupils must do as men and. women whether they ever pass any examinâ€" ations in school or not is to live amongst their fellows and to do this in peace and harmony requires some training. To give this training should in my estimation be the very first duty of the school, particularly of the public school. and since ac- tions speak louder than words and example is better than precept. perâ€" sonality of teachers is a very vital element entering into their merit. Indeed in my estimation personality should be the determining- factor in the qualifications of a teacher. P. E. Angle For reeve: James McLean by T. H. Trench and Alex Little. J. A. Greene by R. Endean and P. E. Angle. For Councillor: H. J. Mills by J. R. Herrington‘ and J. C. Ellis; Alex Little by P. E. Angle and F. Schis- ler; P. C. Hill by J. E. Smith and A. E. Glass); Christian Nelson by F. Schisler and J. E. Smith. The nominations received were as foilows: Reeve Greene replied that a deter- mined fight was put up, but that while the legislation was unacceptâ€" able to some it was very welcome to others as municipalities like Vaughan and Markham would benefit very ma- terially. At the close of the meeting Reeve Greene moved and Mr. McLean sec- on-ded a vote of thanks to the chair- man of the evening, Mr. A. J. Hume. Reeve J. A. Greene who nominated trustee L. A. Hill spoke on his be. half expressing his belief that Mr. Hill had served very capablyl as a member of the Board of Education. Replying to Reeve Greene re the change in Act respecting secondary education Mr. McLean stated, he felt the time to fight the legislation was before it was passed, and the County had ample opportunity to present its case before the bill passed the leg'is- lature. James Butler James Butler, 3 candidate for Board of Education, said that con- trary to rumors which are abroad he was not running against any par- ticular member of the Board. I am offering myself as a candidate mere- ly in the hope that I may in some humble way render some Service to my fellow citizens of Richmond Hill. Mr. Butler charged that members of the present Board had been voting illegally as under the new regula- tions High School trustees were not allowed to vote on public school mat- ters. On the Richmond Hill Board High School trustees had been votâ€" ing illegally on public school matters and- he felt that all business thus transacted was open to question. Dealing with the matter of teachers he said he felt very strongly teach- ers should be judged on merit not personality. A member of the staff was dismissed this year and he cha‘ll. enged any member of the board to state that other teachers were not retained who had a lower standing of results. Moreover he said one member of the board when present. ed with a petition from some 70 ratepayers said he didn’t care if it was from 700. I think it is time the ratepayers opinion counted for some- thing- even if we have to have an election to show it., doing it in co-operation with the council in the winter time when re- lief labor can be used. This will save the taxpayer money- and give our men Work. Letters From The Peop'e RICHMOND HILL PRFSBYTERIAN CHURCH SAT., JAN. 2nd, 1937 HORSES 1 Black Horse, 7 years old CATTLE Government T.B.
