that King bad never bad as good a Council for twenty years this of course had no reference to the Reeve A majority of over two hundred votes cannot be overlooked He referred to the many important bytaws to be parsed and made a strong point of the fact that economy must ever be before them in all theiractions as members of the Council for the balance of the the- township must surely be paid and a small surplus if on ly in the treasuryat the end of In this connection he stated that estimates must be made before any expenditures are incurred as laid down by the law in the Municipal Act and that all grants for gravel etc must be made in accordance with the estimates and distributed over the whole municipality where they will do the most good He favored a grant of to each polling subdivision with an extra allowance in certain divisions where necessity might de mand and advised the lowering the expenditure on Street as it cost King double amount to keep bis road in repair that it did In conclusion Mr Cross- ley stated that In regard to himself duty honor and gratitude would now all bind him to his trust and that no motive whatever should make him in the least swerve from the path that duty pointed out to him as his for as the electors had conferred this favor upon him he would- en deavor to prove to them that merit was the title of the honor bestowed and he urged the Council to act dur ing the year in such a way that the electors at the end of the year could even more heartily endorse their pres ent opinion of them which was one of complete confidence and trust
