When this salvage order came through, they being mighty busy men, decided that it was a one man, all time job, and cast about for a man that would take it over, handle it properly and leave them without worries when accounting time came. They selected James A. Wray. _ t 1 That was 18 months ago. A lot of salâ€" vage has been collected and sold since then. Some $2,500 worth (see statement in last week‘s pntr::')"md yet there are a great numâ€" ber of ci in both municipalities still in the dark regarding the sale of this salvage. ‘The North Grimds:'y ratepayer was in the dark, because he not understand that this salvage is sold at government set ;E-lces and CAN ONLY BE SOLD TO GOVERXNâ€" MENT LICENSED JUNK DEALERS. There is no doubt that Mr. Wray could have sold on a private market, at tremenâ€" doull‘i hlghe:urfieu than what he sold for, but the law not allow him o sell to anyâ€" body but a government licensed dealer. That de.Lqu only pay him the price that the government set. m without saying LhAl NC GUaTeD was double the amount that he paid for the goods, but that is not Mr. Wray‘s fault or the Mayor‘s or the Reeve‘s. It is the fault of the men in Ottawa who make the Imagine selling scrap paper to a dealer from Hamilton (Mr. Wray cannot deal with a St. Catharines man) who takes it to that dtyndthenmmamndndhmlaitlll the way back to Thorold to the paper mills. That is the regulation. _ Regulations such as that, and there are dozens of them, only tend to make people furtive. In fact, makes them hoarders and that is the class of people we do not want and are fighting today. _ _ f Such a situation cannot help but exist when the government place such restrictions on the sale of property given gratis by the A man gives to the salvage a half a ton of iroh and then finds out that that iron can only be sold to a certain individual who has been licensed by the government, at a price “ww_ghWyh- gins to er where he is getting off at. mittee and at a price set by the government? Why was not the price set by the government and let all the dealers buy it? Mlt‘onh:‘wn‘hl:etmmutmthz h-nld!orthm&mmbythe This salvage business is a war effort not a money maker for the dealer insofar as the citizen who is giving the salvage is concerned and the sooner the King government in Otâ€" tawa realize this the better for Canada and GRIMSBY HAS CHOSEN WISELY an tifant incthe Incorporate villags old i at . it has chosen very wm municipal ofâ€" ficials, with of course, the odd mental abâ€" It without saying that the dealer THE GRIMSBY INDEPENDENI B 000 beration that befalls many too complacent m‘mifll‘““e‘; # # # The past six years it has been choosing more wisely, year by year, and that choosing has borne fruit, so much so, that I think the Old Town hu.hlt an all ti:m Mgh for 1948.

"Bill" Lothian is m to CoOun« ty Council where he is one of the ablest men that sits around the table. "The Twins", Archie and Andy have proven withâ€" out a criticism that they are not ouli able businessmen but capable councilmen. Henry Rull stands by himself as the most conscienâ€" tious self sacrificing man, that ever sat in a Grimsby council. He is positively above reâ€" mroach and his record speaks for itself. "Jimmie" Baker is a one year man. Naâ€" turally one would not expect too much of him, yet he did everything that was asked of him and all the time he was learning. 1 look for bigger things this second year. "Old Buzz" has been there so long that he knows more ways of getting a long session of counâ€" cil adjourned than all the rest put together. "Ruzz" has to meet trains at six in the a.m. I now introduce our "Baby Member" Howard E. Inglehart. He has lived in our midst a long time. Very quiet. Very genial. Very steady and solid in his ways of doing business, so much so that with his partner, George Gledhill ,they have built up a wonderâ€" ful business at the Grimsby Garage. * Howard is a large myowm in Grimsby today. He has G at heart and it cannot be expected that he is going out and set the world on fire. He must learn and by his own statement he wants to learn. [ believe that this "Baby Councilior" in anâ€" other year will prove that his business acuâ€" men as a private citizen will be of great value to the municipality, Thanks heaven we have a pair of Jims â€" I didn‘t say a pair of Jacks â€" Jim Theal and Jim Wray.
