violence etc- Standard Dictionary Id all history never never has the above been more fulfill ed than od Dec when I pick ed up the Sutton Reporter and saw the thing which had taken place at the North hall en at the winding of North IMS The regular having taken place and the of the teuton having ended and having picked up their notes and gone as reported in the Reporter and Newmarket Era and Express a secret con clave of the said co was then called and held namely Reeve Roy Pollock Deputy Reeve Richardson Council lors Prank James Clark and William King At thie secret conclave the Reporter writes reported to the Reporter later that Deputy- Reeve Richardson proposed that Mr Irwin Winch township sec retary and treasurer be from his office seconded by Councillor James Clark and supported by Councillor Frank Wllloughby Councillor William King opposing Reeve Pollock while protesting yet having been beaten at the polls for the council could not count although he opposed and voted with King Having disposed of this Dtp- Richardson then pro posed that the same should be meted out to the assessor Mr Anderson seconded by Coun cillor James Clark by Councillor Frank making the two dismissals by virtue of their office an accom plished fact Councillor Wil liam King sternly opposed second as the first but was overruled and silenced Rich ardson Clark King councillors That which was given in de fence of these dismissals was no thing more that the Beaches Associations were de manding it hut giving no rea sons of the and the wherefores and if the same were not then carried out the associations at the time the council being sworn in for would come forth and make their demands effective The Beaches Associations This should read that the notorious Tammany Hall of Roches Point Island Grove Willow Beach and Gum Swamp are demanding these things Now the shock I I never thought that Council lor Frank Wllloughby wham I supported both with my vote as also with voice should have committed such an heinous net Having known him from a boy up with cherished respect his respected home being for so long known to me I had looked for the opposite from him but now however painful it is for me to say it and it is pain ful I must ever look upon this act of his with disgust horror and Yea to me be would have done an honorable thing to say Let this thing be done in the open and let the two men come before council and having heard the charge brought against them let us hear their defence But no there seemingly being no charge for their dismissal other than the above these three men went behind dosed doors and there under the most brutal form of cozenage they kicked these two faithful township ser vants in the back and with the abruptness of demons spake Yes and more these three com manders of the Queens actu ally made Secretary Winch write his own crucifixion and an advertisement for the papers for his successor in office Even Jeaus of Nazareth didnt have to write His own ignominious condemnation and then And now to Mr William King are the deputyreeve and I would say Sir I esteem it a very great honor to Know that your Yorkshire and my Suffolk lineage were of the same Puritan Methodist and Nonconformist stock That you should have now honored that line so nobly against this Tammany Hall con clave I cherish this act of yours above the fairest genu To Mr Roy Pollock I would say Sir While on three occasions I have seen and heard you speak at the township meetings but have never spoken to you per sonally I reckon on the whole in the township affairs both as deputy and then reeve you have tried to fulfil your duty while for I thought you worthy Page CoL KING TOWNSHIP HAS BALANCED BUDGET The municipality of King township has a balanced budget for treasurer
