For the deputy reeveship, also a two-man fight councillor William Kehoe and councillor THA. McCutcheon are running. ‘ A fair representation of tax- payers attended the nomination meeting held in King on Novem- ber 25. Appointed cahirman, W. W. Barker of King called upon the 1949 council to present a reâ€" sume of the past year’s work. The tenor of these remarks pointed to the desire of the council to carry out the townshivp’s business with its best interests at heart, and a desire to promote inevitable ex- pansion and future development with forethought and efficiency. Elton Armstrong, who had been elected to council in 1926, was deputy reeve for two years, and because of an illness vacated in favour of N. D. MacMurchy. Mr. Armstrong came back as coun- cillor in 1943 and with the closing session of the 1949 council appeal- ed for election as the 1950 reeve. He believes the offices should “be passad around" and not maintain- ed individually for two or three years. There are plenty of good men eligible and competent for municipal office, he declared. He stated he was happy with the whole structure of- King township as a prosperous municipality. While the financial future is not as rosy as it was because of pres- ent market situations the time is at hand he declared, to consolidate efforts and go steady.A strong ex- ponent of educational advantages, he felt, as a former member of the Aurora high school board, the present two-man representation to the Aurora High School Distict could be advantageously increased. He also thinks a few township public schools could consolidate. Advocating better roads, he wants the machinery owned by the town- ship to be painted and labelled be- fitting the municipality. He he- lieves snow plowed roads maintain the farmer’s daily mvenue, essen- tial to progress. He spoke proud- ly of the Holland Marsh advance- ment. The solution for weeds will be reached within the next two years, he stated. T. Arthur McCutcheon who for- merly served from 1916 to 1921, For council, Andrew Broughton of New Scotland district, William Hodgson, Kettleby; Russell Snid- er, Nobleton; Ray Jennings, East King township, and Douglas Well- esley, Eversley district. Reeve L. B. Goodfellow’ and warden of York County, announ- cing his retirement from munic- ipal life said he may come back some time for nomination. During his term of office, four years as councillor, seven as deputy reeve and the last six years as reeve, he stated he had been accorded full confidence by his colleagues and the ratepayers. 0n the threshold of greater expansion and development not only does the municipality of King spell advancement, the county of York also, he said, is fast taking a leading place in the overall pic- ture. “I believe there will he more requests from every source in the future. Demand will be greater in keeping with progress.” The County Home for Aged re- quires expansion; the police courts are overcrowded. The “Green Belt” conservation project, recreation parks, improved road systems affect the separate mun- icipalities. In King Township a paramount consideration is weed eradication. Last year $500 was spent on experimental roadside work. In the next year or so one or two thousand dollars will be expended against this menace. “We will have a balanced budget this year, except for chool de- bentures over which we have no control,” the reeve declared. Norman D. MacMurchy, depu- ty reeve for 1949, aspiring to the reeveship paid tribute to the reeve on his long term of office and his appointment as warden. He felt the township of King is in sound financial position. The assessment at the end of 1949/wll stand well over the 5 million mark. The 1948 assessment figure was $4,873,575. Population has greatly increased and building permits have moun- ted. Some school sections will soon require additions to school buildings. The formation of the Aurora High School district of which King Twp. pays a large percentage of the cost of opera- tion costs based on assessment, has its advantages in several ways. The ultimate cost of the proposed new high school will stand King Twp. 64 per centvof the entire cost. Mr. MacMurchy advocated substantial road main- taining ment. The first King Township mun- icipal elections since 1945 will be staged on Monday, December 5. Electors in 16 polling subâ€"divis- ions will select the reeve, deputy reeve and three councillors from a list of nine candidates for the year 1950. Nine of the ten nom- inees qualified for office, as reeve L. B. Goodfellow, nominated for the reeveship, stepped out of the picture after 15 successful years in municipal office. December 5 is virtually “moving day," as other members of the 1949 coun- ‘cil body are aspiring to higher offices. Aspirants For Council Speak At Nominations At King Twp. Meeting and snow plowing equip- William Hodgson, candidate for council, congratulated the out-go- ing reeve in his capacity as coun- ty warden. While Mr. Hodgson neither praised nor criticized the 1949 council he expressed his thanks for receiving the nomina- tion, an honor he had formerly de- clined. Under grading regulations stock and cream should be out within 24 hours. Mr. Kehoe thinks the man in council should represent his “generation.” “Elect me of my generation, knowing the times,” he stated. Andrew Broughton said he would stand for election to council. Rus- sell Snider said Nobleton needed a. representative and were he to qualify he promised his earnest endeavour. ' J. J. Jefferson, Newmag-ket, a‘ former King Twp. reeve, contrib- uted a few interesting and remin- iscent remarks. William Kehoe, also contesting the deputy reeveship, is a farmer on the 12th concession of King township and with others in his district experiences the ill effects of narrow, rolling roads. He stron- gly advocated Widening these or any other such roadways. “Take out the cuts and let the snow plow do its best work,’ he said, strongly upholding improvement of school bus routes. Let the safe transportation the Aurora High School District provides be avail- able to every child no matter where he resides in the township. He proposed a system whereby every other concession line be wi- dened and bus routes made ac- cessible within a mile and a quar- ter. He wants better and wider roads and township owned mach- inery. Ray Jennings, who on former occasions has been nominated six times for councillor and once for deputy reeve, positions he had not qualified for, said his duty would be as a member of King council to see every dollar of the taxpay- er’s money is spent to best advant- Douglas Wellesley, receiving his first nomination, said he believed the township should own most of its own machinery. He assured the electors, were he to qualify for the office of councillor, he would perform his duties in a manner creditable to all taxpayers and residents of the township of King.
