Council came. to order at precisely 8.12 p.m., and Alec Lyle, acting for his father, the veteran town clerk, read the minutes of form- er meeting and presented all oth- er matters in relation to the clerk's duties. There were only tions: The Ministerial Associa- tion asked for the use of the town hall on January 1st for a Sunday School Rally of all the Sunday Schools in town. The re- quest was granted. Councillor Me- Laughlin, chairman of the Public Property Committee, presented a petition from the Legion Band asking for the use of the hall on Sunday evening for a sacred band coneert, for which a silver col- lection would he taken and the entire proceeds donated to the Welfare Board. This was granted. County Judge L. V. O'Connor pre- sented his decision in writing re the appeal of the C.P.R., with in- structions to make the necessary alterations on the assessment roll. This was received and fyled. Committee Reports Reports presented: Finance Committee, $204.15; Water- works, $6.80; Tax collector, $37.- 860.61 of unpaid taxes; clerk's report: of monies handled by him for hall rents, licenses, cemetery, totalling receipts of $2,029.44, and showing a balance after ex- penditures, $38.15; salaries and contingencies amounted to $4,- 830.10.

DISNEY BLOCK, Oshawa ©pp. Post Office Phone 1516 Representative vestigated and his committee had found that Mr. Lymer had not been overcharged, that the meas- urements of tile and price of tile was correct, and he moved that Mr. Lymer be notified that a re- fund was not justified. Town Solicitor In presenting his account of $78.85, as town solicitor, Coun- cillor Strike made it clear to those who had wished him to stand as Councillor," last year, that if any objections were raised as to him acting as solicitor and councillor at the same time, he would withdraw from the council. The Mayor expressed the opinion that Mr. Strike had saved the town, as undoubtedly legal fees for the work he had performed would have cost the town consid- erably more. A motion to receive the various reports of the Department chair- men, grant the necessary supple- mentary funds to make the ac- counts balance and to adopt the reports, was passed. Assessor's Fees An item under unfinished busi- ness caused some discussion when Councillor Strike moved that the assessor be granted $175.00 for the extra work entailed in mak- ing a new assessment roll, send- ing out the new 1933 tax bills, attending courts of revision and appeal court. This was objected to by Reeve Lockhart who thought the price rather high for the work and moved an amend- ment that it be reduced to $100. Neither motion or amendment got a seconder. Every Councillor and the Mayor offcred their opin- ion, which to sum up was in ef- fect that the assessor's job was a very important one, and be- cause he was efficient and could successfully handle the work in shorter time was no reason why he should work for less money. He was open to abuse and criti- cism and undoubtedly his private business suffered, and too often the council do not back him up. Rumors had been rife about the town concerning the gecond pay- ment to the assessor. As the work was under the Finanee Committee, the Chairman, Mr. Strike told the me work the how the the assess assessor had done, and > had complimented on -his efficiency. When the facts were all on the table Re Lockhart withdrew his amendment and then second- cd the motion and it sed with- out a dissenting voice. On motion the taxes on Mr Good's property in the South Ward, amounting to $36.88 for 1932, was remitted, owinz to his incapacity and Illness 1m the home. ve Succeeds Father A motion was passed appoint- ing Alec Lyle as clerk to carry on the duties of clerk and treasurer until the new council takes office in 1933. A motion that the Fin- ance Committee and Tax Collee- tor continue to collect the taxes until the ¢nd of December was passcd. Mr. Flaxman, as valuator on the C.P.R. property which went to the appeal court, was voted $10 for his services. Survey of Trees The Chairman of the Property Committee, I. 7. Me- Laughlin, reported that a survey of the trees in town had been made and those marked for re- moval totalled about sixty. He wished it understood that the committee was not arbitrary about the removal but would co- oprrate with the property owners ag to what trees they would like left standing or removed. Some were danterous and it was the idea to give employment and also firewood to the un°mployed. He reported that the Provincial For- ~gtry Branch would send a man here tc make a survey if it was necessary. Before: adjournment the Mayor thanked the members of council for their co-operation in the work of carrying on the town's busi- ness during the year, which had been gratifying to him, He also thanked those in office and the employees, and especially men-- Pullie TELEPHONE MEN ting just what | | day, tioned the Welfare Board who had no light task. He thought there were many who would don- ate later to the Welfare Fund. He expressed the hope that the new council would carry on with the same good fellowship as had existed during the present year. DO DEGREE WORK Tr stihg Meeting Held by Jerusalem Lodge, AF. and AM.

A. McGib- bon said that Mr. Postill had liv- ed his three score years withous a blemish on his character, and was not of the eriminal type. He | also pointed out that {* had heen shown that the accused did not know that he had shot a boy on | his farm until informed by the | police. The ends of justice, Mr. McGibhon said, would be well met if the accused was piared on suspended sentence.

Lionel Hitchman, Bruin de- fenceman, was serving a penalty, and the Hawks had five men up the ice in an attempt to capitalize on the break. Art Chapman got the puck and skated up and shot, but Goaler Chuck Gardiner made a diving stop. However, the puck got away from him, and Hexi- mer poked the rubber into the unprotected net. The shutout was the first Bos ton has registered this season, and the defeat was Chicazo's first on home ice this year. Eight thousand fans saw the Hawks go down to the defeat and Boston knock them from second place in the American division standing, to take the berth them- selves. Although the speed of the zame never slackened it was cleanly fought, Only seven penalties were called, two of them in the final minutes when the Pace and Tem- pers were at fever heat with the Hawks all playing up the ice in an effort to equalize Heximer's soft goal. A Scout is clean in thought, word and deed. Times' Classified Ads Get Results, Order Christmas Poultry Early BROS.
