Woods ("Happy") reminded all that when on the 1937 council he was not carried as excess baggage, and did not promise what he could not perform. He promised a reduciion in taxes. "I foot a tax bill," said Mr. "and have a hard time to do it." ~While on council he probably broke all the comâ€" mandments but he kept faithfully the one concerning "bearing false witness against his neighbour." He will scand for election. (Contimnued from Page Onc) Bruncite, Emile, agent. Cousins, Leonard, mill foreman. Cyr, Edward, millnan. Flynn, J. W. gentleman. Gauthier, Homer, butcher.
