Reeve Floyd Perkins suggest- ed that Mr‘ Cook had not real- ized he had been doing anything irregular. “ ‘The Liberal’ has been here for a long time,” Mr. Perkins said. “They pay a lot of taxes and have a large stafi." According to Mr. Lucas, the legislation 'in question goes back only as far as 1961. Mr. Cook has been on the commis- sion since 1957. Mr. Lucas claimed he had been under the impression the person in ques- tion was head of a public utili- ties commission rather than a hydro commission. “The mayor has been on the hydro commission since he was elected mayor in 1960.” Council- lor John MacDiarmid stated. “Why has it taken him this long to find this out?” “The items under discussion were never placed before the commission," Mayor Haggart shot back. Repeated questioning from Mr. MacDiarmid and Deputy- reeve Tom Broadhurst failed to elicit any firm recommenda- tions from Mr. Lucas on what council should do. “The practice might grow up where employees might place orders without the knowledge of the commission," Mr. Lucas suggested.

Another Close Electionf; Firm May Move In Richmond Hill hhis year’s municipal election for the office of Reeve finished in a dead heat with each of the candidates receiving 1833 in the unofficial count on the night of balloting. Tie votes have been rare in municipal history in On- tario and as far as we glean from old files of “The Lib- eral" this is the first time it has happened in Rich- mond Hill. Although there have been no tie votes previous to this year the old files tell of ma- ny keenly contested contests and close finishes. One of the closest was in 1927 when Jacob Lunau was elected reeve with a majority of two votes. The unsuccessful chal- lenger on that occasion was John A. Greene who in later years did become Reeve and held the office for seven years. It is coincidental that Ja- cob Lunau who was elected in 1927 with the slim margin of two was a grandfather of Reeve Floyd R. Perkins who finished in the dead heat for Wilson- Niblett Mtrs. There Is!
