His Worship felt that this year he had a fearless Counell, and he appealed for harmony in the transaction of the town's business at the Council Board. . Reeve Geo, Morris, who followed the Mayor, said that he felt highly honored to he Reeve of the hest town in Canada.

He felt that there was a certain sense of honor and respon- sibility to the position he occupied, and he hoped that dt the close of the vear there would be no reason to think that 'he 'had fallen down on the job. Speaking of the work of the year, Reeve Morris advised alk committees to get their estimates in as early as possible in order to give the assessor an early start and a fair chance to do his work.

Without reflection on past Councils, he thought that the Council of 1922 was the strongest for years. Mr. Vickery had a word for the new men on the Board. He had found after a few years' experience that it was very necessary for a man to think for himself, to set forth his own claims, and if he believed he was rrght to fight to a finish. He thought that the Council should strive to pull together and endeavor to help each other in committee work. The Ex-Reeve paid high tribute to the local press for their service to the town in the publication of the Coun- cil reports. He had found the rep- resentatives of the press wiliing to co-operate at all times, while their reports were always fair and acenr- ate..

In the care and pre- vention of disease the ratepavers were being saved money. Mr. Viek- ery paid a warm tribute to Town Glerk Hare.

Mr. Mason advocated the abolition of the ward system of electing the Couneil, iavoring election by all the peonle, also a curtailment of tie member- ship of the Council, on ihe ground that the duties imposed on each Councillor were too cumbersome, each man being a member of several committees.

"The raising of the assess- ment would also interfere with the town's dealings with the ecourtr after the five year's fixed assessment agreement had expired. Mr. Mazon sought to show that in as much as many municipalities since the war had jumped their tax rate to 25 mills exclusive of schools, there was a tendency on the part of many muu-, icipalities to be extravagant. ii: would like to see a return to pre-| war rate of taxation. He favored giving local work to local men only, with married men getting the pre- ference. It was wrong for the im- pression to get abroad that the e! was lots of work in Oshawa. The | town had all the men it could take! |care of. Replying to Deputy-Reeve Mason, !
