The New ork OQutlook, in commenting upon this recordâ€"preaking crop, says :â€" A year of unequalled.prosperityâ€"follows the most noteâ€"worthy series of simâ€" flar years that have come to Amerâ€" ican _ farmers. â€" The addition â€" made ____by them to (the national wealth during the past fiscal year :breaks all records _ for all countries.

By the looks of the statement the Council has been going at a pretty swilt pace during the last two years, with the result that, in spite‘ of a higher tax rate on an increased _ asâ€" sessment, the statement shows a deâ€" ficit of between $7,000 and $8,000, to wipe off which will require a levy . of four mills on the dollar.

Seagram, Waterloo‘s mayor for 1908i was next callod upon and thanked his mover and seconder for nominating him. HMe had been in the Council for fopr years and always did everything to the best of his abilâ€" ity, We had one of the best towns in Canada, and he deemed it a great honot to be one of the contestants for the offiee. He took occasion to touch upon a number of subjects of importance. First, the butchers‘ lic« enses. He did not think that the matter of collecting licenses in this respect was regulated properly at present. Four or five years ago the butchers thought that a license ought In reference to a ,criticism about cutting down the expenditure, he said there was no cutting to be done. He thought that on the whole the money this year had been well spent. A criticism regarding having injunctions taken out he dealt with by insisting that the Council had done right, and upheld the rights of the town. He said that these did not cost them anything, as the othér parties paid the costs. He was proud to say that the opening of John street had at last been scecured during his term of office. _ In conclusion, he hojed he had filled the position of mayor to the satisfaction of the ratepayers, as e had always striven to advance the bist interests of the town. In reference to the condition of the roads, he said that the roads of the town were generally in good shap», citing Erb street, Albert street and King street. Culverts had also been placetl throughout the town, $800 worth of tile having been used, and they were now in good . shape. Alâ€" though they had exceeded the estimâ€" ates in this respect by about $1700, he maintained that the money had been well spent. He advocated hayâ€" ing a good engineer, whose duty it would be to look after such matters, and thus relieve the Chairman of the Board of Works. ( iC ime he had always striven to do his best in the matter of promoting the welfare and pioâ€" gress of the town, and he believed he had spent more time than had been spent in former years in the perâ€" formance of the duties of the office. In reference to a criticism in one cf the newspapers for going beyord the estimates, he maintained that this was not the case, and the â€" Council had not exceeded the estimates. The Statement for the year 1905, which ~they hadâ€"before them was an homst and straightforward one, anl shcwed the true state. af affairs. He referred to the fact that in form:r years there had been a tendency to doctor these statements in such a mantet as to show a surplus. He mainta ned that although there was a large deâ€" ficit in excess of last year, that the Council this year had to pay acâ€" counts which should have been paid by the previous year‘s Council, citâ€" ing one item for $1200. Away back in 1902 they were overdrawn $3000 and for the last five or eight years this had been the case. : In rising to speak, the Mayor thankâ€" ed his mover and seconder for again nominating him for the position of mayor,â€" butâ€"he hadâ€"decided to devote all ‘his time to his business this year and therefore would not become a candidate. He had filled the position of mayor for the past two years, Shortly: after 8.30 Mr. A. B.

Ovens referred to improve. ments being made at the Town Hall, and expressed a desire to see the work suceessfully carried out. e Mr. _ Weidenhammer _ corroborated what had been said regarding the fiâ€" nancial statement for 1905, maintainâ€" ing that it was a clear and honest statement. _ Regarding the criticism of the excessive exgenditurs, he said that pressure was being brought ‘to ‘beat repeatedly forâ€"extra grants. He admitted that King street. was in a deplorable condition, out he was opâ€" posed to gravelling it, and ‘favored having a permanent roadbed _ with pressed stone, to be paid for on the frontage system. The grant tor the Public School was also going up, and they required $2000 more than they did three or four years ago. He was glad to report a surplus in connecâ€" tion with the operation of the gas plant and next year it would also be placed under the supervision of the Water Commission. In the matter of the electric light plant. He favored buying it provided it could be had at a reasonable price, or else to enler{ into an agreement with the owner for a term of less than ten years. l Referring to the sidewalks, he cenâ€" sured the town.engincer for not havyâ€" ing the levels taken properly. Mr. J. C. Mueller next addressed the electors. He gave a brief review of the work done under his departâ€" ment. John St. West had been imâ€" proved, as had also King St. North. Church St. had also been lowered, and Water St. filled in from the surâ€" plus carth taken from the former street. Some improvements had also been made on the road from the park gate back. Quotations had also been received for a permanent roadbed on King street from the corporation line. to Johnâ€" St., but the amount asked for the work, $3700, was too much,‘ and the Council had no money to do the work. The pay of the teamsters and laborers in the employ of the town had also been increased on acâ€" count of a strike, which |accounted for the increased expenditure in this department. He advocated the use of crushed stone instead of gravel,which would make a more permanent mad-I bed. F. Seagram elected Mayor of Waterâ€" loo by acclamation. â€" engineerâ€"was â€"also ~responsible Tor Tthe delay in the work, Regarding the apâ€" paratus which the fire committee had purchased, they were the most modâ€" ern and upâ€"toâ€"date to be had. . He thought more care should be exéercisâ€" ed in building sidewalks.

The s.teâ€" walkss were not laid properly. A comâ€" petent engineer ought to be cugagei for about 5 months iin the year to properly ‘superintend <this work. He also criticized the Park Board and expressed himself as in favor of havâ€" ing younger men on that Board. ._Mr. Levi Graybill, _ who was nomâ€" inated for mayor, withdrew. He conâ€" sidered himself one of the pioncers‘of the town, it tbeing 30 years since he was first nominated for a position: in Waterloo. Hekad the reputation of being a kicker n the Council, but he always opposed anything which he thought would not be to the best inâ€" terests of the town. In reference to not having the work completed | in connection with the fire hall, he knew they should have started earliee to do the work, but he thought that the ments_should _ be commenced _ about Mr. J. B. Hughes spoke next. _ He was not in the ficld. He was not satâ€" isfied with the lax manner in which work is commenced in public improveâ€" ments. The: tax rate was too low this year and last year, and ‘ adding the frontage tax to be paid, a rate of 26 orâ€"28 mills would probably have to be levied.‘ He thought that work in connection with the town improveâ€" expressed â€"hisâ€"confidenceâ€"thatâ€"theâ€"St Ry. Co. would extend their line ‘as far as the‘park if it was properly ad vertised. In conclusion he thanked them fo the cordial manner in which they had received his remarks, and he wouk always endeavor to work for th« town‘s best interests, and trusteo that they would honor him ‘ with their support. A Mr. Wm. Snider hore took occasio to offer a few remarks. He said that by the time the Park Board providee for sinking fund and interest they had nothing left, â€"The receipts were only about $250. The byâ€"law asking for $2000 had been voted down. H« did not think that _ the entertainâ€" ments suggested by Mr. Seagran would bring much money. to be charged, and in compliance with the request a license fee of $25 for each butcher was charged. This year it had been reduced to $10â€" Some proper method <of collecting these fee should be put in force. Again, tae matter of the B. W. St. Ry. Franchise would have to b« dealt with. He advocated going thorâ€" qughly into the matter, and if the} did not run it under joint ownershif 0i the two towns, the franchise was & valuable one and they should get ; good sum for it. ‘The matter of our park also should be looked into.

WEDNESDAY EVENINC JAN. 10 ‘06 at 7 30 o‘clock for the purpose of re ceiving the Annual Report and the Electioa of Officers and Dircetors for Take notice that the annu»‘ .meet Ing of the Town of Waterioo Hortiâ€" cultural Society will be held in th« Town Hall, Waterloo, on But what tempted me to trouble you again was your brief article on Wednesday on the munifcipalization of the electric light plant. To my mind it is questionable whether the â€" town can give as cflicient and as cheap a service as the present proprietor. The town would have to erect a building, add engine and boiler, hire a superinâ€" tendent to oversee the plant. The present proprietor is running an c ectric light plant in connection with lis own business and has the advanâ€" tage of a cheap water power. He can also save much in what are termed ‘"overhead expenses." There is no complaint about the. quality of the service given, ncither in public lightâ€" ing nor commercial lighting. _ After considering the subject in all its bearâ€" ings I‘m inclined to the opinion that it would not be well to take over the electric light plant at the present time.. Let well enough alone. Thanking you. for valuable space. A WATERLOO RATEPAYER. _ Dec. 15, 1905. ~the information of himsell and numerâ€" ous other ratepayers, on the recent bonus byâ€"law.

Gentlemen®‘ areâ€" generally elected to the positions of presiding officers of deliberative assemblies who have a judicial cast of mind and who are noted for sanity and fairâ€"mindedness; but the best of men go wrong someâ€" times and I‘m inclined to take the charitable view of the matterâ€" and ascribe the "Exâ€"President of the Board of Trade‘s" temporary aberraâ€" tion to his excessive zeal for the byâ€" law in question, and intense anxiety for its fate. prudent to retire within the lines of Torres Vedras until the storm creatâ€" ed by my former questions had spent its rage.

Mr. Scully, who was present, then gave a,report of the Water Commissioners for the year 1905, which appears in another column. Mr. W. M.
