president of the south pickering ratepayers assoc ation at the annual nomination meeting held in brougham on fri day afternoon mr browns opening statement brought consternation to the faces of some fifty ratepayers gathered the north part of the township cannot isolate itself and all the municipal offices while the greatest portion of the population and assess ment was in the south mr brown stated that he under stood from the department of high ways and other government depart ments that pickering township was considered among the backward townships in the province this remark brought mr robt ruddy and exwarden reesor to their feet that statements a lie he de clared the department of high way would never make such a statement and you know it con tinued mr ruddy theres nothing new in north pickering stated mr brown hej handling their affairs mr brown stated that his associ ation had asked that the hours of voting be changed from s to 5 until 10 am to s pm on this question he said the council after much de- and brought forth a mouse they extended the hours until 0 thus he claimed the south pickering ratepayers believed they were being discriminated against since so many worked in toronto and were unable to get out in time to vote if a plan to divide- the township into wards is not forthcoming be ware the sleeping giant he said in referring to the ratepayers organiz ation in the south you speak of roads we havent any good municipal roads in the township he charged last year i advocated a three year program of road building and ditching the council is still talkin about it and would be in 1950 if given the chance mr brown de dared he said he believed the council was penny wise and pound foolish mr robt ruddy called on the press to make special note of the fact that he was calling on the meet ing to register a strong protest against mr browns statements mr browns spra is not an association and he cant give me five names from pickering village said that this part of the township of ratepayers who belong to it he was growing old and worn out declared mmm w h westney was given a third term as deputyreeve by acclamation mrwestnev head ed the poles when his seat was contested last year to say so said ruddy probably we havent all paved roads and we havent all got paved pockets either concluded mr ruddy mr brown stated that the south portion of the municipality was growing up and that any good works which had been undertaken by this years council had been the direct result of pressure by mr brown and his association the men on the council are not themselves to blame for preserving their own interests he went on its their collective thinking that is wrong we must have a proper democra tic council and the only way the north can now prevent what he claimed to be an inevitable ousting was to have the municipality divid- edinto wards the municipal department frowns on this policy stated mr wm westney ive been given to understand differently replied mr brown mr westney declared the only reason scarboro was divided into wards was the fact that they went bernktupt and had to be taken over and this was the easiest way of we in pickering village have no association with mr browns spra such slanderous state ments about pickering have never before been made on a public plat form he said weve seen what happened to scarboro township when a bunch of darn fools got into office they went bankrupt mr ruddy con tinued will westney now deputyreeve of this township will be on the board in 1949 and ive 50 or 100 thursday nite is foto nite 335 claremont
