In the case of 13 or these there was no difference of opinion, but as to the others, in a most nnaccaunt able way Mr. Harstone unis-read the reg- lations. and told the candidates that e fee was $5. As he was so very positive that he was right, I consented, against try own jud out, to receive 85 instead of $7.

As there has been considerable discus- sion in our columns on the subject of the ballot in council, the following taken from the Whitby Chronicle will no doubt be read with interest : The motion introduced byMr.J.Cowan and carried theOshawa board of education on Mon sy n t. to use the ballot at the board in vot g on appointments of teachers, may not appear to be a questionable move at first sight. but upon inspection it will he found that it leads to a most dan us method of doingpubiic business. .Cowan’s ground for moving the motion was to enable mem- bers of the board to secretly voteagalnst fiement committee when so disposed,‘ thout leaving themselves liable to be si out as o nents. As a matter of w we do not eve such acts would stand. Elections are held to enable rate- payers to reviewfithe conduct of their re- entates, but the use of the ballotuidn pres the ordinary proceedin , would hide the conduct of its members from public scrutiny. Thus the whole ‘ object of frequent elections would he des- t oyed.

Balloting was moved by 3 member of the Whitby town council two years ago, but the motion was ruled out of order, as it was held to be in conflict with our muni- sipsl law and the proper ides oi represent- totive government. Teachers are the servants of the board, und why should members fear them. We are told that some members promise to vote for every applicant, and then are in a fix. A mem- ber who will do this, or who is droid to let people know how he votes ewny their money, should at once resign his functions to a. more stalwart mun, and it he does not resign the people should ssh him to do so, orhelse_get rid at him at the first â€" _.__ -lnl-_ n‘ UU BU, us may -v- --_ v- apportunity. There is not a man eitti at e Oshawa school board. or any ot or board, who is so wise and just that he on be trusted to vote the people's interests in secret. By iookin into this matter a little ratepayers see that the ballot would prevent them from knowing which or their representatives served them well. and which otherwise. This would be worse than an absolute form of govern- ment underwhieh we would at least know who he the mischief and who am well. mum-w" twquna UL .- â€"â€"â€" â€".â€"___,,‘, jury returned 3 verdict of guilty. with I strong recommendation to mom.
