Corporations For the last four years the and Aurora Railway have had control the Township Council at least so far as the inter ests of the Company were concerned The people in the goodness their heart voted relying on the promises of the promoters that the- line would run from and that the would commence at once- In the Company prepared a ine- sided agreement no safe guards for the concessions by way of rales or anything else The Counr signed the agreement and the Company carried it away The road was not yet commenced and no sign when it would be The Council to their credit be it said did not put on a levy in and in Mr Lemon was elected Reeve and for some son which I cannot explain was bound to put the levy in In August the Council was told by H Lloyd Psq- who was solicitor tor the Township that the Council was not compelled to levy and offered to submit it to the best authority and if be was wrong he would pay the counsel fee This was no good to the- Reeve and Council and they dis missed Mr Lloyd and appointed Armstrong their solicitor who had been President of the Provisional Board and who was then in strong sympathy with the Company The consequence was the levy was put on in 1899 and amid the strongest protests of the ratepayers who went in deputations More the Council ex plaining the gross injustice and in consistency of such a course and when all diplomacy failed an action was entered by one of the ratepayers Mr Bogart who fought for his rights singlehanded and won against the Council as they had defended the action instead of making the Railway Company who was the party most interested and our old Banner Town ship had to pay about 000 for law costs and a judgment entered in the Court of Appeal for This was the result of the Council being the Control of a Corporation and against the people Surely if they had been Possessed of ordinary t Intepnatloaai Sunday School Lesson OK POWER a ft Acts THE Golden Text shall receive power liter Ghost is come upon you INTRODUCTION The Acts of the Apostles was it- ten by Luke the author of the third gospel about as many do that Christ was crucified on Friday April 7 Alt be rose from the dead ort the following Sunday morning and the ascension took place forty days later on Thursday May Our minds are thus directed to those forty days in which the risen Christ associated with his disciples PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS Knowledge of the Word The Forgiveness of Power from on High The Spirit Testimony The Certainly Risen Christ The Expectation of a Returning Christ That which most Jills us with won der is that Jesus said it was really better that he himself should go away so that the Spirit might come That must be an unspeakable blessing indeed which is better than the human presence of the Lord Jesus These wonderful days of Pentecost prove that it was better Transformations were wrought by the power of the Spirit in the men and women who had been with Jesus in the intimacy of friendship for years The miracle of conversion and regen eration in millions of souls since that day troves it There are signs wonders through the Spirit in mis sionary lands now equal to those early days of the church in Jerusalem The book of the Acts of the Apostles is not finished- We are living in the age of the dispensation of the Spirit Will you open your heart him so that he may take of the things of Christ show

New market January Brampton at Park- date January Newmarket at Var sity at Brampton Spring For Otitis See them at Humes LADIES AND The good people of King have been pleased to honor me with a nomina tion for the office of for the year I am fully aware of the responsibil ities of such office I know it is a bed of roses neither are the Council meetings a love feast and did 1 con sult my own best interests I should decline the honor Sometimes we enter a for fun and sometimes for honor but in my case this time neither fun nor honor prompts me to otter myself but a deep sense of duty I owe to the people and a principal within that tells me that now if never before I can- help my fellow electors For these reasons enter the field for the position of Reeve perfectly abide- by the voice the people who in this matter are supreme When entered the Council last January was anxious to pay oft the debt against the Township by means of strict economy but I found no such element existing and 1 had to prac tice alone I got one resolution through which saved and- by hot asking for grant enough more to make over Now King is that amount less In debt by my adopting that course If elected I would endeavor to have all school invested In Mortgages applying of in vestment as now the ratepayers do not know if there are any funds on hand The road machines are not giving satisfaction on gravel roads and money can be saved by proper management I would improve old Antediluvian System valuing sheep killed or worried by dogs by appointing a Valuator in each Polling Many other reforms of more or less importance and which are really necessary tor the welfare of the muni cipality would be introduced which would raise standing and dignity in the eyes of the and brain power they would have known that as there was no debt they could not sell the debentures 35158 and as the time had lapsed when the debentures could be sold and the de bentures were not sold there was no debt the Council could not when there was no debt neither could they levy for interest when there was no interest due or accruing due To my mind the Council had plain mail ing but they allowed the Railway to tamper with their compass which ran their boat- into the whirlpool of a costly law suit and to show how the Reeve and two of the Council were 1 must mention that they would not pay the judgment against the Township Mr and myself tried to prevail on them to pay otherwise an Execution would issue and one of our safes would be seized This had no effect for they only laughed at our fears and within two weeks Execution did Issue and the officer had started The Reeve was telegraphed to send the money and he rushed to Aurora got the Treasurer to issue a Town ship Cheque not for the amount of Judgment but lor Making the people of King pay 763 costs in addition to the amount of Judgment and our old Township stands today in the unenviable posi tion of being the only Municipality in Ontario that has ever had an Execu tion issued Against it In conclusion let me say that in the year that is past I have fought that battle of the people and against the Railway and this present contest will decide whether the people keep over in their own pockets or whether it shall be given over t a Corporation for no consideration whatever people want their Bonus tax refunded vote or me for if elected 1 shall surely refund before the first day of March the people do not their money back vote for Lemon if the people want to still pay the Bonus after they are free vote for Mr Lemon and if the people do hot want to pay the Bonus and if whole Township does not want to be made pay the Bonus vote for me as I prevented a new Agree ment being entered Into at a meeting at the Reeve with a cheque In tils pocket payable
