He was the first Reeve of Waterloo serv- inginthispost from 185700 186S, 186rto 1gr0and1tt78 to 1876. From 1867 to 1881, he served ”the first member repreaenting the North Riding of Waterloo County in the Ontario legislative Assembly. In 1881 he became Comty Sheriff. A member of the Waterloo Public Board, he served for 30 years and was Chair- man of, it for 25 years. , _ These, however, were merely the public capacities in which Mr. Springer served his community. He was an enterprising and astute businessman as well. He was the youngest of Benjamin and Mary Ryckmann Springer's eleven children. He was orphaned at 10 when a cholera epidemic killed his parents. He was taken in by Mennonite Bishop Joseph Hagey. He worked as a farm hand from the age of 13 to 20. Alth- ough he had little formal education, with the help of a Scots teacher named William Colliot, he got his third- class teaching certificate. While teaching on and off for seven years, Mr. Springer acquired surveying skills and became a surveyor for the county. In 1853, he bought the German language newspaper Waterloo Chamber of Commerce; 5 Bridgeport Rd. W. the farm segment, the small-business community, and the home owners of On- tario.

Moses Springer was a man who embraced life fully and met every challenge. His personal life was as productive as his public one. He had six sons and four daughters with his first wife, Barbara Santa. whom he married in ms. Me married his secoodwife, Mrs. Louis Zoeger, in 1886. She died on October u, 1887. which was four years to the day that the first Mrs. Springer died. The third Mrs. Springer was the former Mrs. Sophia Bo'wrnan who was with Mose when he died in his easy chair. He attended his office in the courthouse until three weeks before his death. His list of accomplishments is amazing. His obituary pays tribute to this seemingly endless energy when it stat- ed “He is not dead -just away". The City of Waterloo paid tribute to this illustrious City father in 1967 when the Community Services Board named the recreation centre on Lincoln Road after' him. The centre consists of an outdoor pool which is open for July and August and a skating arena which is used from September to March. 7 Be was one of the organizers of Mutual Fire In- surance Company and served as Preside! from 183 Also last week in the Le- gislature, I presented two Private Member's Bills to the House for consideration. The first, entitled "An Act Respecting Rent Deposits in Ontarip,", would increase the present 6 per cent to a more fair level of 12 per cent. The present rate of 6 Speech from the Throne be amended to show the As- sembly's lack of confidence in the Government. This motion shall come to a vote on April 14, 1900. per cent is set by the L.and- lord and Tenant Act. Alth- ough the Residential Tenan- cies Act, 1979, would have raised that rate to 9 per cent, constitutional prob- lems with the Act have kept that part from being pro claimed. Because of the soaring interest rates, land- lords are now in a position to collect far more than the 6 per cent eventually returned to the tenant. Of course, a landlord cannot be criticized for getting the best possible benefit from monies which he has left as a security de- posit by the tenant, but the Government can certainly be chastised for delaying the correction of such a situa- tion. My bill, if enacted, would lessen the discre- pancy between landlord and tenant's gains. I also had the pleasure at introducing a second bill on behalf of five political scien- ce students from Wilfred Laurier University. One of their courses involves the research and development of a Private Member's Bill which must be presented in the House. The result was the Business Practices Amendment Act, 1980] The purpose of the Bill is to pro- vide that a failure by a retail seller to clearly mark the price of a product on the product is an unfair practice under the Act. It is intended to remedy some of the prob- lems that have arisen through the use by retail bu- sinesses of the Uniform Pro duct Code. There seems lit- tle doubt that the grocery in- dustry would prefer to increase the use of the corn- puterized check-out system-
