Two for Reeve and Thirteen for Counciliors/ in Tisdale Thursday March 17th, 1927 South Poreupine, March 15th, 1926. Special to The Advance. Mr. Harry McGinn, Mr. and Mrs. S..A. McGinn, of town, and Mr. MceCinn, of Dome Extension, were called home to Cobden last week owâ€" ing to the serious illness of their father at that place Mr. and Mrs. Pugh left for thei: home in Atwater, Sask., this week @after spending the winter with then daughter, Mrs. Firth. Mrs. Farran, of London, Ont., is on a visit to her son, Willie, and her sisters Mrs. Greweoe and Mrs. Pike. If thirteen be an unlucky number then the coming municipal elections would surely be unlucky for Tisdale for thirteen have qualified to run for council. But the old adage, ‘‘There‘s safety in numbers‘‘ may prove the stronger. If so, then Tisdas)e is safe, for there are two names for Reeve, thirteen for councillors going on the ballot, a record in numbers. _ There were six nominated for the reeveship. Messrs D. Kerr, J. G. Harris and J. (¢. Barron, of Schumacher, and S. Kennedy, PDan McLellan and C. V. (tallagher of South Poreupine. _ Mr. (Giallagher who served so well for vears, had_not intended to enter into municipal life again, feeling that his own personal affairs required all his time, but he had been prevailed upon V. Gallagher and S. Kennedy for Reeve; Messrs J. G. Barron, J. P. Foley, J. S. Harrig, J. A. Hawkins, Geo. Helmer, D. G. Kerr, F. Laforest, H. M. Martin, G. Mcâ€" Intosh, N. McKinnon, J. Robertson, J.

Bank: ofi Hamilton Building, TORONTO COBALT KIRKLAND LAKE to let his name be placed on the nomiâ€" nation papers in the hope that an acclamation could be reached. _ The| three nominees from Schumacher and Mr. MecLellan, all property owners and men with strong personal interâ€" est in the welfare of Tisdale, in their speeches spoke of their willingness to agree to an acclamation if C. V. Galâ€" lagher were the one to take the reeveâ€" ship. S. Kennedy refused to agree to any acclamation, hence the contest was left between him and Gallagher. It was hoped also that an acclamation could be arranged for the council, many of the nominees voicing their i willingness to step down if those chosen were heavy taxpayers and men who would feel their responsibility because of their own interests that were tied up in the township. However there were also dissenting voices here and directly the meeting closed the nominees began qualifying for election. Mr. James Shewan of Schumacher was chosen as chairman after the nominations were closed, and called for speeches from the various nomiâ€" nees. In his introductory remarks he spoke of the use so many had made of the word ‘‘economy‘‘ at the last elecâ€" tion and the fiasco resulting, but here was a chance to practise economy if an acclamation could be arranged.

Gallagher as he felt he had the township‘s good at heart. _ He said that anyone accepting public office must necessarily accept the criticism that went with it. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO C. V. Gallagher, the next speaker, received a very hearty ovation upon taking the platform. â€" During his talk he spoke of the improvement in the roads, the installation of the waterâ€" works, the improvement in our sehools during the last few years. He said that when you help Tisdgale you help the whole North Country. He apoloâ€" for one thing during his term of office, that was the type of granoliâ€" thic sidewalk around the ~eentral block of the town. In this, preferâ€" ence had ‘been given to local men both as contractor and overseer, but the. work had not been what was hoped for. He spoke of the system of auâ€" diting used in Tisdale, viz., the emâ€" ployment of a firm of chartered acâ€" countants whose audited report of the Township was each year sent im to the Municipal Department of the Provincial (Government, thus giving what is virtually a Government audit each year. He said that if any furâ€" ther audit than this were required he was perfectly agreeable that it should be given provided the supporters of such a movement were willing to foot the expenses of same themselves, and not shift them to the shoulders of those who have already paid their share of a proper andit. He said that municipal affairs were not run for the sake of giving employment to small ratepayers and to men with teams, that the amount of labour of this kind required was often at a minimum. He said that most of us were living here because we knew we could do better here than anywhere else, that public utilities, ete., must be paid for and that the township would really be better off without the type of eitiâ€" Phones 182â€"183 The Upâ€"toâ€"date Store for Upâ€"to date People Dress Goods Dept.

He stated that it was the wish to see good water properly installed here that had kept him in municipal life as long as he was; that the township‘s business should be every good citizen‘s business, not for his own gain, but for the progress and advancement of the township. The chairman remarked that Mr. Gallagher certainly seemed to have the various affairs of the township at his finger tips. y The next speaker, 8. Kennedy, was brief, stating his determination to stand for election and giving people the privilege of voting for him if they wished to do so. Kennedy is now and has been for many years a member of the school board so has that part of the township business thoroughly at his finger tips. J.â€"(G. Harris told of how he had fought at the two meetings held by the council elected last December to try to keep down turmoil and to keep the whole municipal works from beâ€" ing toppled over into chaos. Re the trip to Toronto he stated that there was no need of so many gomg but that as the reeve had said if anybody went she went and that it was on the request of a large number of rateâ€" payers that some of the councillors went too, to look after the rights of the propertyâ€"owners here. _ He was willing to stand down for an acelaâ€" mation. Dan McLellan made a spicy speech. (We have known him for years but did not realize he possessed so much latent oratory). He said he had everything he owned tied up in Tisâ€" dale and wanted to see its affairs handled by responsible men. He was in favour of an acclamation. He has since dropped out of the contest both as reeve and councillor. Mr. Barron was not present when called on, having had to leave for work. Of the councillorsâ€"elect, G. Melnâ€" tosh said that he realized the affairs of Tisdale were serious at present and considerable time would be needed to straighten them out ; that if there was no acclamation he was ready to take his bumps with the rest. *# % F. Laforest, with his usual genial smile, said that D. MeLellan had said all he intended to say. He had much at stake, having been here for 15 years. He said that the people were as much to blame as those who have been elected if they did not take municipdl affairs seriously and put in men who do justice to the townâ€" ship. s 2w y Geo, Helmer, South mentioned the Toront that there was more it than necessary, Mr. Kostynuck, though nominalted, did not qualify. .
