VVhile it was customary to elect a. ;).\Iayor for the second term, Mr. Ben- lnett had acted throughout the year in a very arbitrary manner, antag_on- izing almost every member of the `Council. For this reason he (Mr. iPowel1) opposed him. Mr. Powell said he was glad that the G. T. R. improvements would go ahead. The Mayor had wanted to secure a xed `assessment of $50,000, but_at last had Ito come down to the old gure, $35,- Iooo. This was what he (Mr. Powell) had always favored. ,,1_Mr. Bennett had procured Henry Penton to appeal against the Burton assessment in Ward 6, apparently not having the courage to do it himself. Ald. Pow- ell then referred to his eleven years experience in the Council. His re- cord, he claimed, was quite as good as Mr. Bennett s. Mr. Bennett had. boasted that there would be no decits under his administration, but both the Board of Works and the Com~ `mittee on Fire and Police had ex- ceeded their estimates. He (Mr. Powell) was in favor of seeing the Dyment foundry set running again, and he thought that with very little lnegotiation the matter could be re- opened. VVe could not get the foun- idry if Mr. Bennett were re-elected Mayor. The Aerial Ladder `Co. pr0~ position was a good bargain and `merited the confidence of the elect- _--v- -vv-- `app uIIn|al\ll'gbJI -John -Caston, who has resided at Kendra smce last .spring, was jghame fox Christmas.` ' = - - `..._, .. .u;. 1J\.JIllLLl, WCXC 1'6-CICCICCX iposition condence lors. Ald. Powell concluded by signi~ lfying his opposition to the cement: }sidewalk by-law. He favored having the work done_little by little `each l"n'\.' 'a`v AA- said that, if the electors were pre pared to spend more money, he was prepared to formulate a park scheme. He concluded his address by stating that the G. T. R. agreement had been settled. All the details _asked for by the Town had been fL1I`11l. and nothing remained now but the e.\'ecu~ ,cuti0n of the documents. The rail~ way would expend $150,000 or more in Ward 6 and the car shops would 1 employ from 150 to 200 men "to begin ;with, and possibly 400 or 500 men in [the course of the next few years.

A principleahe had establish- ed in Council was that chairmen of - committees should do only what they were authorized to do, `and 3 should reportto Council from time to time the progress of the work. Another `reform he had effected was the printing of the Assessment Roll. This, it was hoped, would be pro- ductive of much good in the equali- zation of_ the assessment. He had endeavored to bring about a reduc-. I tion in the price of electric l_ight, but .` qwmgito. the`extensxon of various, Uhnes during the past yearthis was _ found fimpossible. As to, cheaper -, gas, we were simply at the mercy. of _lthe:-`Gas Company; unt1'l"`t'he expira- trans of the franchise. There _was no _' redress .
