would be remiss if i did not also our previous councillors who chose not to seek re election while it is dif ficult to numerate their many individual efforts we do appreciate the time and work each has given to the town many of us have been quick to criticize but at the same time have not offered sufficient recognizance to the many jobs they performed so well sincere thanks also to those candidates who ran but who were not suc cessful without their participatioin their varied platforms and their sincere concern about our community we would not have had a real election as was evidenced
