| 1 4 (Crowded out last week,) > The General mesting of the local Branch was held in the Clubrooms on , uesday evening, Fobruary %, 1920â€"â€" at elght thirty o‘clock. A goodly atâ€" tendance was present; but it is felt by the aetive officers that a great @eal more intérest could ba \ shown, Eflkmlu:ly in attendance at meetâ€" % ne. . Two years ago when a Council was elected that was going to save a whole lot of the money that was supposedly being wasted. Well you know what they did do. Without taking into consideration the disgrace as per paper reports of meetings, lheyi simply tore to picces a perfectly good system with the avowed inâ€" tention of saving money. You also know what happened. You have paid over one thousand dollars a year more for the same work. You know wind, blow, talk, selfishness, small mindedness and a hankering for power or Vrosi‘;iion will not get us anywhere. Jt is business methods, run calmly without excitement that will get you the best results and I must say that of late it is exceedingly hard to get such men as you now have to qualify at all. I positively know that it took a lot of personality to get your present three Counciliors to stand on account of the fault finding and nagging caused by about ten persons who clog the wheels of progress in GRIMSBY. I have had a lot of cheap advertising lately from this same lot of men on account of my firm belief in helping factories to start. Now, I am proud to say that I was the direct cause of the Radiant, Hess, Metal Craft loans. Every one a success. Every one paying out large payrolls every week employing the citizens of this place. In Heaven‘s name what more can they want? _ . ‘This bunch wanted to do away with the Water Commission. You said "No." Tried it again, you said "No" two to one. Well, this is the same lot that has caused this election tomorrow. So I am sure you know what to do. y VOTE FOR CULP AND CLEAN, COMPETENT COUN‘CE.. Tomorrow you will have an opportunity to vote for a Councilâ€" lor to fill my place, I having resigned because of tht intention of some of our citizens of unseating me on a technicality. I am sorry that I am the,cause of the expense of anâ€"election but through no fault of mine. 1 simply signed on to make a harmonious council through the solicitation of some friends who were tired of the way this bickering and quarrelling has gone on in the Council. ‘ The matter of the Secretaryâ€"Treasâ€" wrer‘s resignation was again brought forward by the.President; who inâ€" timated that he .also, ‘would â€" ba obliged to give up office and active work, in the near future;â€"and it was decided to hold the nratter ‘ in abeyance until suitable arrangements could be made, i ‘ The president announced the sucâ€" cessful formation of a Ladies‘ Auxilâ€" jary and stated the Executive of that body was very active and enthusiasâ€" tic; and desired to be informed | of any help they could extend.
