* * Craig and Helmer qualified. At the close of the nominations most of these aspirants spoke to the assembled rateâ€" payers. D. Kerr, present Reeve, told of his efforts to accomplish what he considered was for the good of the township, but as he was only one he, could not always carry out his intenâ€" tions and so sometimes lhis proposals never reached even the minute book. He, as well as others of the councilâ€" lors, spoke of their efforts to get a better rate still than that offered by the Light and Power €o. He menâ€" tioned among other things that led to a higher rate of taxation this year, the raising of the exemption on inâ€" come to a higher figure. ~This made a difference of a good many thousands in the Tisdale assessment and helped to send the rate on property owners up. â€" Councillor Barron, who is aspirâ€" ing to the reeveship this year, spoke of the dropping off in the Mines Royâ€" alty, owing to both Dome and Meinâ€" tyre exploration work. This also meant a lessening of revenue and conâ€" sequently boosted the tax rate. â€" Mr. Barron spoke of his efforts for better sanitary conditions and cleaner milk, t wo tlnn"s for whigh he has hammerâ€" ed hard all vyear. Mr. Hugh Boyle, of Domes Mines, South Poreupine, a former councillor for two years, and now a candidate for reeve, took Ihis stand on the services he had rendered the township in 1924 and 1925. _ Mrs. J. A. Thomas stated that her object would be eonomy. As a matter of fact nearly all the aspirants claimed the same platform but few of them stated just how economy would be A cessation of spending for the townâ€" ship. â€" Some seemed to think that economy merely meant a lessening of dollars spent and seemed to lose sight of ‘the broader, truer sense of the word, that isâ€"getting â€" the _ fullest value possible for every dollar spent. A ceesation of spending for the townâ€" ship, means a cessation of doing for the township, and a cessation of doing means stagnation, and wherever there is stagnation there is always danger of pollutlon. This pollution must ever be avoided asg it would cost more,. many times more, in the cleaningâ€"up in the years to come than all the dollars saved by one year of misconâ€" strued economy would amount to. Practical, sane progress is what will make our property here worth havâ€" ing, our homes comfortable and conâ€" venient for living purposes. _ Mr. Skelly spoke brwflv and hoped to. have more to say later. Mr. A. Ixm- caid said when you touched a man‘s pocket you touched his heart and that as he had property both here and in Schumacher he was vitally mtm'estedI and that in working for himself he? would be working for others. Mr. Williams, of \clmma('hm' told of havâ€" ing been ur"ml by many of his tllqldbl until he had decided to stand. for South Poreupine, December 1st. Spsgeial to The Advance.

One assay in partiâ€" cular, made in a local assay office showed 10 ounces of gold to the ton at a value of $214.40, this of course, may have been an unusual sample, but the Government assays of five samples showed $87.60, $42.00, $14.40 and 40 cents: respectively, all assays made were from channel samples.""> OVER SIX PER CENT.
