Macdonaly, who mteired that SLrICt econumy 18 necessary during 1932, Eddie McDonald Eddie Mcuonaly, dung an ad- diess in which he criticised and con- uemned rede: organizations, indus- trial 'concerns, the method of con- wucting the city's business, the Pub- ue Utilities Comnussion, the Board of Education, 't'ne Daily 'Limes, and many other institutions and organi- zations, made it perrectly clear that his intentions are to stand for elec- Lon as mayor. "I hope that every working man will turn out on 'election day and put in a working man who has been working for the working men al the year," said Mr. McDonald, Ald. Geo. T, Morris Ald. Morris, when called on by the Chairman, stated that he could bok every man in the face with a clear conscience and have no apol- vies to make for anything." "de advocated the cutung down of the city's overhead as a measure oy ccononty, stating that by this meth- od "we can save $25,000 in operating expenses next year, and. that would viause 1io hardship on any individual called upon to bear his share of the burden." { _ He expressed himself as heartily in favour of both the election by- laws, adding "1 believe that six al- uermen and a mayor would be an «deal council." :G. Carnell Mr. Carnell, another nomiinee for the office of mayor, described his self as "an independent man of .in- dependent thought, a mind of his own and an opinion of his own, not aififiated with any go ; tion ex: pre | think tty, good shape," and stated "I toe 1934 council have exer- cised the strictest economy that w.s possible to it under existing conditions." Ald, William Boddy Alderman Boddy, another possible candidate for the mayoralty, drew ginning - of thus year City Councy nad looked forward to better con- ditions early in the year, but these conditions had not materialized. "We havegot 'to face the situa- tion," said Ald. Boddy. "We re- alize that men have got to have work but, as a city, we cannot con- tinue- capital expenditures to that end. We have got to call a halt and only carry out work, financed by capital expenditure, that is absolute- iy necessary." He classed the statement that it was possible to save $25,000 on overhewd as "exceptional high" but added that next year's council must be 'prepared to cut expenditures to the bone in order to lighten the burden on the taxpayers. As regards the election by-laws he stated be was in favor of reduc- ing the number of aldermen to ten, but was non-committal on the city- wide vote question. Edwin Clark The first speaker among the al- dermanic nominees was Edwin Clark, nominated in the South West Ward where he is president of the Ratepayers' Association. This speaker also referred partic- ularly to the election by-laws classi- tying them as "orphan by-laws, one at least illegitimate. The first orig- inated on Chamber of Commerce papers, I am informed, but the oth- er one we have not been able to find the father yet, although Ross Mackinnon seems to have adopted them both lately." He re-called recent remarks made by Mr. Mackinnon in which the latter pointed out that sixty men, all told, were charged with civic ex- penditures, adding "If you reduce the number of aldermen to ten you will still have fitty-five men hand- lin~ the city's funds. Not a very big reduction." A. L. Bouckley A Mr. Bouckley, also nominated in the South West Ward, while he thanked his supporters stated "I have no intention of running." As regards the two by-laws he stated that he could not support the proposal to elect council on a gen- eral vote, but on the other hand he favored the reduction of aldermen to ten in number. "Every year at this time we get iogetuer and say lets have a good council. We elect our men and say uow we have a good council, and then at the eud oi the year we meet aga aud say its the roitenest coun~ ci we ever nad," said Mr. Bouckley. it 1s the same every year. "Now, gentlemen, not too much criticism," said Mr, Bouckley who «dvocated payment, however small, Jor both mayor and aldermen, add- m~ 'until you pay them for their services then you have no right to criticise." Thomas H. King. T. King, nominated tor alderman in the South West Ward, advocated ine discontinuance of the annual grant of $4,5W {rom Lily Council to (ne Coamber of Commerce, "I can not sce where the Chamber of Com- merce. has ever beneuted the city .0 the extent of one cent," said Mr. Mr, King agreed with previous speakers that a substantial saving in the city's overhead might easily oe possible. Ald. F. O. Kirby : Al' Kirby, who seeks re-election in the South West Ward, drew at- tention to the fact that he had eu- tered council on a: platform of econ- omy and had continued to follow that policy. : He strongly advocated "shelving the disposal plant for the present" on the grounds that capital ev en- diture must be curtailed, while he also drew attention to the fact that ae had opposed expenditures on the Bond Street Bridge on the grounds of economy, As regards the election by-laws Ald. Kirby stated it was his belief that "there is safety in numbers." F. W. Watkinson Nominated for alderman in the North East Ward, F. W. Watkinson stated that he was convinced that the vear 1932 would be just as try- ne for Oshawa as the previous year had been. : . i "We have to give this year's council credit for accomplishing something," said Mr. Watkinson, in referring to the partial employment created to relieve conditions in the city, and adding "the only thing I do not like is bailiffs taking inven- tories from people who fall behind in their tax payments. : "When see big corporations with fixed assessments over a period of vears I don't like it. They should have seen, at the expiration of the f t period of assessment that it was their duty to raise the assess- ment." J 'Dealing with the two election by- laws he drew attention to the fact that he had many years of experi ence in executive work, stating "ten men can accomplish more than fif- teen when it comes to executive work. 'A bulky committee can never sapedite the work." He pointed ont that seventy-five per cent of the electors in this city "belong to the working classes.
