ie f 1 Issued every Thursday from the Haileyburian Office, Broadway Street, Haileybury Published in the Interests of the Town of Haileybury and District of Temiskaming SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In Canada--$1.5uU per year in advance In United States--$2.00 per year in advance LEISHMAN &% SUTHERLAND, PUBLISHERS THURS., JANUARY 3rd. 1929 Vote on Monday It is the duty of every good cit- izen to make a special effort to exercise his or her franchise in the municipal elections on Mon- day next. In addition to the el- ection of a mayor and council for the year, there are two other questions that should have the opinion of a good majority of the citizens. The High School by- law in particular is one that de- serves the consideration of all and should have the votes of a large proportion of the ratepay- ers, as it is for an important ex- tension of the educational facili- ties of Haileybury. That it is deserving of support has been as- serted in these columns previous- ly and it is sincerely hoped that it will receive the assent of the electors. The other by-law, that in con- nection with the grant to the hospital, has already receiyed au- thorization and is only being sub- mitted on account of the change in the organization which pro- poses to build' the hospital. It would appear almost certain of being passed. For the council there should be a good proportion of the votes cast. There is no more healthy sign in a town than to see its cit- izens taking an interest in muni- cipal affairs, and there has been added interest this year in the nominations. There is a good choice of candidates, both in the contest for the mayoralty and for} the council, and it is better to do the voting noyy than to stay at home and criticize later on. In the mayoralty race, both candidates have had experience in the office, having split the last year between them. Mr. Pipe's entering the contest comes as a surprise, as he resigned during the year when he considered that the ratepayers differed with his views on the 'conduct -of> the town's affairs following the vote on the paving by-law. His state- ment of his position is given in another column and the electors must judge the merits of his case from that. Mr. Charbonneau is seeking re-election on his record of four years service on the council and his belief that he can fill the position in the best inter- ests of the town. The Town's Finances A copy of town's annual finan- cial statement is published in this issue, in the hope that all will thus become more familiar with the standing of the municipality. This has been printed in pamphlet form, but in limited quantity, and The Haileyburian believes that every ratepayer should have the opportunity of studying it care- fully. \ Encouraging the oV ters Mayor Charbonneau states that everything possible is being done to encourage the voters to turn out on Monday and cast their ballots. e asks that all makea special effort to get to the polls, particularly on account of the by- laws to be voted on. It is par- ticularly desirable that a good majority of the citizens express their wishes in regard to the High School by-law, which is considered to be an important one at the present time. The mayor states that if the weather permits, the streets will be kept passable for motorists on that day and all possible steps taken to enable the people to get to the polls. Reeve, Councillors Get Acclamation in Bucke (Continued from page 1) owners, at a reduction in the price, granted. It was stated that in some cases the money loaned by the government had not all been put into the building' of the houses and that they would not bring anywhere near the price. which was against them. The hope was expressed that at some future date a satisfactory The HAILEYBURIAN To the Ratepayers of the Town of Haileybury When I resigned from the position of Mayor of Haileybury in September last, I advised you I had been contemplating that step for some time before the paving by-law had been voted on and for the reason that, while I had urged upon the Council the necessity of accomplishing more improvement to our streets with the money at our disposal for that purpose, and further that I did not believe this could ever be achieved with the management of the street work which we have had in the past number of years, the Council took the opposite view, that the management was quite satisfac- tory, and so, rather than continue to be a party to the unnecessary waste of money spent on our streets and in protest against the unfair arrangements. made for paying for the paving of Main Street from Rorke Avenue to the Station, I resigned. And now it is election time once more, and I have been urged to make an issue of this qustion, and as I think it is vital to the best interests of Haileybury I have consented to do so, and have allowed my name to be placed on the ballot papers for the position of Mayor at this time. if One of the first things I asked the Council of last year to do was to rearrange the Committees of the Council so that the work of the Town Foreman would all come under one heading; that a better check could thus be kept upon his work, and the money that department was spending. I have been told that by- insisting very strongly that this change should be made, was one of the chief rea- sons why some of the Council would not wholeheartedly support me in my endeavor to improve conditions. Now I want to point out that 'though I backed this idea as strongly as I could in order to get it put into effect, yet I used only business reasons in support of whatever argument I advanced, and while this arrangement of the committegs has been changed since my resignaion, yet | am firmly convinced that it is a much better one thar prevails at the present time. I believe there was some criticism because the Council had not provided against the possibility of the pumping station becoming flooded in the spring, and though quite willing to take my share of the blame, yet I wish the ratepayers also to know I called a meet- ing of Council to consider this matter while the water was yet some four or five feet from the top of the sea wall and the only conclusion arrived at was to take a chance that the water would not rise enough to cause trouble, which proved to be a bad guess. Some time later Mr. Charbonneau raised quite a fuss in Coun- cil because "after being informed by our Chief of Police that a fa- mily in the south end of the town were dispossessed of the house that they had been living in because they would not pay their rent, and without getting permission from anyone had moved into a hotise which the town had previously taken for taxes" I gave in- structions to the Chiew to have the mmoyed out again. Later, when I was informed that they had been led to believe by the previous owner that he still owned the property and they had paid him some rent for it, I had the Chief give them possession again, and afterwards made arrangements with them to stay in the place so long as they paid rent for it. It transpired at this ime also that theer were three large boys or young men in the family quite able to look after the family needs without charity from the town or anyone, though Mr. Charbonneau had endeavored earlier in the year to have them put on the charity list. Respecting the rebuilding of the hospital. The arrangements for this were under way while I was still in office and I assisted in every manner I could to encourage the undertaking and believe it will be a real asset to the town when completed. Respecting the upkeep of our streets. Now that the main thoroughfare has been paved, some system of distributing the ex- penditure so each and every street will be assured of at least some slight attention, should and can be worked out, and not that some streets should get all, and other no improvements. For the Addition to the High School, I would say if the town were in anything like as strong a position as before the fire, then the undertaking would be justified, but with conditions such as they are I think it would be much better to make haste slowly. Let us get some industries started and make our future more secure and I am confident such impovements will follow as a matter of course. Or better still, if some feel this would be a real boon to the town--let someone start an endowment fund and those who feel able to assist can do so without adding all the burden on the town. I am infromed that North Bay has offered inducements to one industry here to move their plant to North Bay, and are seiously considering the offer, and that another industry here that could expand, consider it wise to wait until the. business future of the town is more firmly established; if this information is correct, then, unless the establishment of a technical school will bring quite a number of families to town, I fail to see on what other grounds it can be justified at the present time. And 1] would ask the rate- payers to make that the basis for deciding whether to vote for or against the by-law. If you have reason to believe a number of families not now here, will make Haileybury their home if the ad- dition is built, then vote for the by-law; if you do not believe they will do so, then vote against it. Mr. Charbonneau, in his remarks to the Council after taking over the office of Mayor, is reported to have expressed the belief that the work of the Council would be carried on more harmon- iou-ly than during the time I was in office. If he was correctly re- ported, then I would like to state that at no time while I held office did I ascribe any ulterior motive for the actions of any member of the Council, nor did I at any time make any personal remarks or insinuations about a member or his actions, but I am informed that such have been made on at least two occasions by the present Mayor. In conclusion, let me repeat that I consider a change in the management of the work on our streets is of vital importance to our town, along with sane business administation of the other af- fairs of the municipality, and I believe I can give such to you if elected and given the support of the council; and I would assure all ratepayers of whatever race or creed that I can and will fulfill the duties of the office fairly; without fear of any and favour to none. And if you consider that, in the main, I am right about these things, then I would be pleased to have your support on elec- tion-day; if, on the other hand, you think I am not right or if you believe I have conceived the wrong viewpoint and that we can go along carelessly adding to our debenture or floating debt so long as the town services continue to operate--then I hope you will just as emphatically mark your ballots against me. : arrangement could be made, Yours sincerely, Vasa ie yoo TAYLOR: PIPE Drowned at Temagami Trying to Save Dogs (Continued from Page 1) mer resort.
