McCuaig has resigned as Mayor of Haileybury so as to be asble to give his whole time and atâ€" tention to his military duties and ready to go overseas with the Fourth Forestry Draft in the near future. Members of the Counceil and many prominent eitizens of the town were anxious that he should simply accepi ‘leave of absence"" from the Mayor‘s chair, hut he did not consider this would be fair or expedient for the town‘s best interests. Mr. N. J. Meâ€" Aulay, a former Mayor of Haileyâ€" bury, and Mr. Marty Wright, are mentioned prominently as possible selections for the Mayorality. Mr. Ben. Rothschild Finds This Action Necessary on Account of Health. At the last meeting of the Cochâ€" rane Town Council, the resignation of Mr. Ben. Rothschild as Mayor of the town was received and eventually accepted. with much regret by the Councillors. _ Mr. Rothschild, who wrote from the Lady Minto Hospital, where he has been confined for some weeks through illness, explained that he was only resigning in accordance with the imperative orders of his medical advisors, complete rest and relaxation being necessary for his restoration to health. Ever since the ire Mayor Rothschild has had a double share of work and worry in a municipal way, and the strain has undoubtedly done much to cause his present illness. _ Municipal affairs, however, are now all in pretty good shape in Cochrane, the various byâ€" laws have been approved and enâ€" dorsed by the Government to give the Town opportunity to go ahead after the disastrous fire, so Mayor Rothschild may feel that he has acâ€" complished a good work and others may now properly take up the burâ€" den. Nominations are called for seâ€" lecting a new Mayor to fill the place thus made vacant.
