As all the other candidates have ex-; pressed their intention of withdraw- ing from the Mayoralty field, Mayor In regard to the changing of the market building, this had not been done because the Council feared to overburden themselves financially this year. With the surplus. however. this coming year should see the necessary work gone on with. Mayor Begg said that he had attend- ed other meetings, including the Li- brary, Hospital and Water Commis- sion Boards during the year, and had in all looked after town interest to the best of his ability. The proceeJings had been most harmonious and he had passed a pleasant, ii busy, year in office. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. King, of {egarding the Peel-st. sewer, Mayor Begg said some had wanted to have this work let by contract. The contract price was $1,300, but the town had been able to do it by day work and save about $75" Touchiné on' the liabilities of the town, Mayor Begg showed that Lind- say was not in as bad condition in this respect as other towns its size. and the debt here was being reduced each year. The total debt of $152,000 had been reduced to $105,000, and there would be further reductions. The Council had finished paying for the‘ road roller and the public library debt was now wiped off. I Mr. J. H. Sootheran suggested 1’ minutes for candidates for Mayor, 10 minutes for the reeves and 5 minutes for aldermen and all other candidates. This met with general approval and a motion to this effect was carried. Mayor Begg. Mr. J. B. Begg. Mayor for 1908, was the first speaker. He thanked the citizens for the honor he had enjoyed and especially for the kind words and kind treatment received from the citi- zens in general during his tenure of office as Mayor. He had done the best he could in the interests of the town, and he felt that the record was not a bad one. The Council meetings had been business-like and no time was wasted. The rate for the year had been lowered 1% mills from that of last year, and a surplus of $960 was shown. North Wardâ€"J . W. :e is visiting| Mr. and Mrs. Chas.
