He stated the clerk had little to say but was always on hand to carry out the instructions of the council. He mentioned that the year end had been disappointing in the tax collections. The roll for 1957 totalled some $350,000 of which $150,000 was paid in July. The township offered a discount for prepayment and another $100,000 was paid by Dec. 15 but this left $100,000 in arrears.

He ex- pected the year of 1958 would bring problems to council but stated all would be given the best service of the members. Deputy Reeve Geo. Richardson stated that he agreed with the Reeve in regard to the pro- gramme of paving. He consid- ered the money spent on keeping up the present gravel road sys- tem was waste of township funds. He said the present council would have many important de- cisions but he looked forward to a. progressive year. Reeve Legge thanked Rev. Mr. Kennedy for his remarks and reviewed briefly the work of the council in 1957. He stated that while differences had occurred they were left in the chamber at the conclusion of the meeting and in general he considered the council of 1957 had made pro- gress. He said he was in favor of the 1958 council fnaking a start on the paving of a portion of the roads in the township. Paving Plan The clergy was represented by Rev. I. E. Kennedy of the Tem- perancevilie circuit. He spoke of the honour conferred on each member of council by the elect- orate and of the loyalty of coun- cil'members in serving the com- munity. It was his contention that the people in general should endeavor to throw off the feel- ing of pessimism and take a more optimistic view which would cre- ate a better feeling for the en- tire community. It would also permit each to render better service in the year ahead.
