COUNCIL EEEOTED BY ACCLAMATION ONLY MEMBERS OF OLD COUNCIL NOMINATED AS RATE- I’AYERS EXPRESS SATISFACTION WITH WORK OF THE PAST YEAR Reeve Robert W. Scott and all: members bf Vaughan Township; council were returned by acclama-f tion for the fifth conseqtive year‘ at the annual nomination meetingI held at Vellore last Friday. It was the quietest nomination in many years and no names were placed‘ in‘ nomination except the members of‘ the past year‘s council. Less‘ than sixty ratepayers attend-ed which was I the smallest crowd in the memory of those present. However the small attendance was taken as indicative not of slackening interest in municL- pal affairs but as evidence of the general satisfaction of the ratepay- ers with the work of the 1939 coun- cil and their wish for an acclamaâ€" tion. i George Brownlee was named as chairman for the meeting following the ocfficial nomination and ably filled the office as was evidenced by three hearty cheers for the chairman at the conclusion of the meeting. The chairman first called on clerk and treasurer J. M. McDonald' who gave a clear, concise and thorough statement of township finances. The treasurer complimented the ratepay- ers ‘on the record of tax payment this year which by Decemlber 15th attained 83 per cent of the total YIAPLE Office Hrogr_s _9__â€" £1 Telephone 24 Centre St. E_ W oodbridge (Womcn and Children) Office Hours 1 - 3 p.111.

He pointed out that the total levy this year was the low- est in many years and the financial standing at the end of the year was very satisfactory and showed considâ€" eraibile improvement in comparison to past years. There had been a reâ€" duction in outstanding taxes which on December 15th totalled $18,229.00. He told of looking through old town- shiplr-e-cords and coming across one of the old collectors’ rolls which showed all taxes collected except $1.47. This was in comparison to more recent years when unpaid taxes attained sizeable proportions. Howâ€" ever he was pleased to say this year showed improvement. Interesting facts gleaned from the financial statement were that sheep claims this year amounted to only $85.00, the lowest in many years. Interest on loans totalled $780.39, the lowest in some years. The highest borrowâ€" ings this year amounted to only $17,- 000 while in some years not so far back the borrowings from the lbank amounted as high as $54,000.00. Reeve R. W. Scott thanked the electors for their continued aolncfid- en-ce. He said earlier he “had thought: of retiring but public sentiâ€" ment seemed, to favor an acciamwa- 'tion‘ for the entire council and he re- considered and decided to stand if it was the wish of the people of Vaughan township. He said he was pleased with the pnorg'ress of things this year both as they related to township and county affairs. In the county the budget was balanced on the .pay as you go system which he thought as the only safe and sound municipal policy. In the coming year the c0unty levy might be increased to meet cost of anticipated donation to the Red Cress of 85000 per month. However, he said, I am sure the people of Vaughan in common with the people throughout the county we ‘must make sacrifice in our efforts here to help the Empire and her Alli-es win the war in which we are ’nlow engaged. In the township we lhave had the best year since I have been Reeve. The material put on the roads this year cost $1.16 per yard laid‘ down. In concluding Reeve Scott thanked the ratepayers for their continued confidence and ex- tend-ed compliments of the season ‘to all. ' Deputy-Reeve Boynton Weldrick said at one time he thought of runn- ing for Reeve for 1940 [but the feel- ing seemed to favor an acclamation so he was quite content to stand for re-election as Deputyâ€"Reeve. The past year was a most successful one in every particular, in fact he thought it was the most pleasant and most successful he spent in council. During the year the council had sponsored the formation of a Game lPreserve and he was confident the new plan met with the approval of the great majority of ratepayers. ‘This being the first year the plan was in operation there was no doubt some improvement could be made next year, but he H1ng in the \mai-n the game wardens and offiâ€" cials had carried‘ out their duties in a satisfactory manner. Speaking of roads he said‘ during the year there had been a lot of gravel put on and maintenance of the highways was not neglected. Councillor John Hostrawser, re- elected ‘by acclamation: as councillor said he thought the financial stateâ€" ment spoke for itself on the record of the past year. Culvert and ‘bridge expenditure in the year amounted to $2265, a little more than the last few years but all were needed and he thought the improvement on the Teston sideroad was well worthwhile in eliminating- a particularly danger. ous spot. He said the past year had been very pleasant and it was a matter of satisfaction to have had such a successful year. Councillor James Robson said that never in- his experience had he faced so many empty seats on nomination day, however he thought the change in day of nomination and the gen- eral satisfied feelings of the rate- payers had more to do with the small attendance than lack of interâ€" lest. Asavconsrtructive suggestion for future consideration he pointed out that the mankng of all concession roads and s'ideroacflsl, and the placing of name plates on farm gates would ibe a great convenience in these days of motor travel. He said it had been suggested to him that the township put up r-oadi signs and‘ that farmers be urged: to erect name plates at their gates. J. A. Dick said! he was completing‘ 5 years as a councillor and this was the best year yet. When he entered council he said he had three aim's, ‘machine gravel, systematic maintenâ€" ance all over the township, and gram vel for the" roads l‘oy tender. All have been accomplished andl he was hope- fu-l they would' be always a part of Vaughan township road policy. He interspersed his remarks with a couple of humorous stories and exâ€" tendedl to all the ratepayers best wishes for the festive season. ‘ The chairman called on ex-reeve .T‘ohn Whi’rlmore who complimented the council on their reelection by acclamation and on their fine finanâ€" cial statement. Chairman Brownlee said’ he was sure the aoclamation accorded the council would; meet the wishes of the ratepayers. “I think !they’re five as good ‘men as we could get. They work harmoniously to- gether and have accomplished splenâ€" did results for Vaughan," he said. ‘The meeting concluded' with the naâ€" _tional anthem. Nominations were as follows: For Reeve: Rolbert W. Scott by George Brownlee aan 'C. H. Ruther- Ifordl; Boynton Weldrick by Alex lCameron and Edward Seager. l ReturnedI by acclamation for his fifth year as: Reeve of Vaughan Township. For Deputyâ€"Reeve: Boynton‘ Wel- drick by J. D.

That our efforts have merited your approval is a matter of genuine satisfaction to us. During the coming year we will endeavour to carry on in such a manner as to merit your continued confidence, and we assure you that all matters of township business and administration will have our very best attention. a white Christmas after To all the people of the Township of Vaughan we extend Greetings and Best Wishes that lthe year about to dawn will be one of happiness and prosperity for all.
