I Mayor Weichel in responding expresâ€" sed the pleasure afforded him _ in entertaining those present and reâ€" gretted that a number could not atâ€" tend owing to illness and other causâ€" es. _ He cordially welcomed _ Mayor Schmalz of Berlin, who he stated was a warm friend, and referred to him as a man of sound judgment _ and ability, who filled the Mayor‘s chair in 1 ably A warm tribute was pald to the late Mayor Graybill, whose untiring and officient services in behalf of the town of Waterloo would long be reâ€" membered. The year 1911, the speakâ€" er stated, was one of the brightest in the history of Waterloo and citizens could well feel proud of the progress made, evidenced in the construction of a bitulithic pavement _ on â€"King street, and the ipauguration of a new lighting system, which was the finest in Canada. He hoped that the white way would be extended along King street to Berlin, for the entire distâ€" ance, He also congratulated Beriin on coming cityhood. Reference was made to the honors which had come to him during his sixteen years residâ€" ence here, first as President of the Board of Trade, as councilior, his election as Mayor of Waterloo â€" by acclamation, and his election to the House of Commons, and he _ would always strive to do his best in the interests of North Waterldo. He gave a large measure of credit to Messrs. J. B. Hughes and J. B. Fischer â€" for securing the . fine new post . office building here, which was a credit to the town. He alluded to his efforts to inaugurate a garhage system, a matter which he was SSkbF to feave in abeyanse this year on account of the % J ; namely the const of the King street pavement and the installation of a new lighting system. ‘There had MAYOR WEICHEL TENDERS SUPPER TO TOWN CUUNCIL Happy Addresses Delivered %y Representatives of Various Municipal Bodies and _ Mayor Schmalz of Berlin Mr..

He hmd the 1812 counci would ‘take up: matter. He urged the adoption of a {actory policy with a view to-w!'ln&..»nou industries, and hoped that rate next year would be two or three mills less. He expressed thanks for the kindness and consideration _ reâ€" ceived during his term of office and also reférred briefly to the great proâ€" jects under consideration . by _ _ the (Government, viz., the deepening . of the Welland Canaland the building of the Georgian Bay Canal and â€" the development of New . Ontario, in reâ€" gard to which it was> anticipated that in 10 or 15 years New Ontario would have one or two million ‘setâ€" tlers. He also referted to the harâ€" monious manner in which the proceedâ€" ings of the Council, had been conductâ€" ed during the year, and should _ he go down to defeat in a future. elecâ€" tion he would again be willing to serve the town. ° Mr. A. E. Sanderson referred . to the admirable manner in which the retiring Mayor bad served the.. town and stated that he would be a candiâ€" date for the Mayor‘s chair. . Messrs. Huehn, Kutt, J. Conrad and _ Lipâ€" hardt also fittingly responded to the toast to the Council. Mayor Schmalz received â€" a > most cordial reception . in responding â€" to this toast, and he was grected <with the singing of ‘"He‘s a jolly good felâ€" low." He extended ‘the greetings . of the sister town of Berlin â€"and was pleased to note the cordial ‘relations existing between the two townsâ€" at the present time. _ He reminiscently referred to the carlier days â€"when there â€"was great rivalry. between the school boys. The two â€" towns, he stated, had many things in common. Berlin citizens were employed in Watâ€" erloo factories and Waterloo citizens in Berlin and this, he thought, aided in cementing the bonds of friendship. Waterloo had eclipsed â€"Berlinâ€" in â€"the matter of a lighting system, but they also hoped in the near future to have an improved lighting system. . They are at present installing 1,500 lights. He thought that sentiment for the joining of the two towns was growâ€" ing, and if this ever became an acâ€" complished fact it would be the reâ€" gult of a feeling that it would be to the best interests of the two towns. ‘The toast to the Water., . _ Light and Sewer Commissions was next proposed. Dr. Hilliard responded on behalf of the Light Commission . and velerred to the fact that during the year several new wells had been put in and an increased supply of water was available. He also noted‘ the installation of a new lightings . sysâ€" tem, the equal of any system to be {ound in the cities of Canada. This was proving a~splendid advertisement and people were being attracted _ to the town because of the lighting sysâ€" tem. The only criticism was that it was too good. â€" In concluding â€" the speaker said we should all unite in boosting the town. Mr. Thos. Hilliard, who acted ‘ as Assessment Commissioner, *stated that he was glad to ‘observe" the growing good fceling between Berlin and Waterloo, and thought . that a great deal could be accomplished . by joint action and a saving in _ money effected. Referring to the assessment he stated that the main increase had been in the income tax, which had increased from $45,000 to about $120,â€" 000. The result of the revision _ in assessment should mean â€" a reduction of several mills in taxes and he hoped an effort would be made â€" to _ make the rate 20 or 21 mills next _ year. ‘The assessment of the working. class had been slightly raised in a few cases, but they would benefit largely by the increase in Assessment.

Mr. Chas. Moogk, town engineer, referred to the great changes in reâ€" cent years compared â€" with . earlier years. At thattime there were no lights on* the streets and no water works, but during the past few years many improvements had been _ made and the town showed advancement and progress. The toasts to tLe Board of Trade, the Litrary Board, the School â€" and Mr. R, â€"O. Dobbin also responded briefly to this toast.
