In ris- ing to speak to the meeting after the closing hour of the nomina- tien, his worship assurcd the ratepayets that he felt it a great honour to be nominated again, but wasn't quite sure which was the greater, to be elected at the polls in the regular way or to re- ceive. the office by acclamation af- ter having served the town for one tetm. There was a touch of sentiment in the proceedings as well, for the gentlemen who had nominated him at this time had been the ones to nominate his father for the same office twenty- four years ago.

Only one of the nominees not a member of any of the town boards, spoke, and that was Rev. Geo. Mason, who said he had no desire for public office but suzgested that all the nomi- nees get together and make Some arrangements whereby the ex- penses of an election could be saved. He sounded a warning note concerning the financial standing of Bowmanville, and not Bow- manville alone, but every muni- cipality, remarking ow the large amounts of unpaid taxes, deben- ture debts, the increasing de- mand for taxes for county pur- noses, schools, etc. Clerk Speaks The veteran clerk, John Lyle, at the conclusion, told the meet- ing that this was the thirty-fifth nomination meeting he had pre- sided over and it would probably be his last. At the age of 21 years he had been elected to the school board and had served thirty years in that capacity, during which time he had been chair- man for two years when the pub- lic school was built at a cost of $22,000. Previous to being ap- pointed. clerk he had served five years on the council and during his municipal duties had only missed one meeting and that was on account of death in the fam- ily. He referred to the town's in- debtedness, and the mounting tax rate which could not be lessened in face of interest charges and debentures to be met. Reference was alsn made to some of the manufacturing plants that were not doing as well as hoped for. He closed with wishing everyone the compliments of the season. Reeve Lockhart Reeve T. H.

Mr. Hood touched on the ap- .| proaching municipal election, stress- ing the need for men with execu- tive training to be elected. He congratulated the members of the recently orzanized salvage corps on the work that this organization is carrying out, stating "you only have to go 'into the homes where this 'corps. has been of service in order to find out whether it has justific! its existence or not." At the close of the mecting the chairman, Arthur Cook, read a joint statementf rom himself and the sccretary, F. Watkinson, in which these officers of the associa- tion voiced seasonable greetings to the membership and exnressed their will'ng: mtinue to serve the orranization to the best of their ability.
