been asked as to the correctness or otherwise of statement le to the public in leakproof metal cans which can be identified by the red painting or by IM ll ill ecntly heard that the people are not allowed 10 ask questions at municipal nomination meetings Yes and No Questions may be putprovided they are confined to matteres pertaining to the man her of conducting the proceedings The time for receiving nominations is only one hour accordlng to the Municipal Act and the re striction is one to the contention that this business could not be transacted properly in less than that time if crowded with queries On the other hand provision is made for holding public meeting after the nomin ations close Such meetings have been held regularly on nomination day in Barrie and are taken as matter of course Should this special meeting not be called promptly by the presiding official any ratepaycr has the right to move that such meeting be held The matter thus being opened up the citizens are free to seek information on any phases of the years business of the muni cipality Questions which are likely to throw light on municipal affairs are likely to arouse keener interest in civic affairs and for that frcason should be heartily encouraged THE STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENT For years past it has been customary for the Town Council of Barrie to have printed statement prepared to enlighten the rate payers on the Towns finances from the first of the year until the statutory date November 15 The thoroughness of detail contained in thesa reports was shown by the fact that the receipts and expenditures were practically the same as those entered in the Town Treasurers cash book The statement gave the taxpayers the de tails they wanted to know as to the source of receipts and exactly what use was made of the money It was not unusual for the council to have extra copies issued for dis tribution before nomination time was reached Such course could hardly bth have wrsitimulbtinginflueneeuiponithemembers in their work and it creates greater desire another substituted less detail If CANADAS NEW PRIME MINISTER Kn6wldge of canadian affairs 5is his great humanityn
