I will stand on what I say and I‘m not saying anything but the truth ~ not like some members of council who try and stretch the truth a little," the council- lor said. He said he had felt for a long time the old bridge was unsafe. Seeking re-election to the rceveship Mr. Dean outlined what had been done during his two-year term of office.

Mr. Wallwork cited the defeat of the proposed county police system as one vote he would have liked to see go through. He also thought that the welfare work could have been better handled at the county level and this too was defeated.

The deputy-reeve pointed out that $33,000 was spent on road dust maintenance in the town- ship, and that this great sum was necessary since much of the heavy traffic was vehicles from outside the municipality.
