Schummer, Welles ley clerk for half a century) and the last few years our treasurer ‘got away with it Our treasurer is also making it miserable for our new clerk (cheers) He is also getting away with dominating our council Council Should Take Stand ‘"Wellesley council should take matters into its own hands at once and outline each man‘s job", Mr. Schummer continued. "For three years our treasurer was paid extra for handling relief matters, and as soon as our new clerk was appo‘nted he threw all relief records at our new clerk, saying, ‘This is your work‘. It is not Mr. Barbour‘s place to dictate, but the councll‘s to say what each man‘s duties are." School Cheques Held Later in the meeting Mr. Schumâ€" mwer demanded to know why the cheques to the school division treasâ€" urers were not issued before Christâ€" mas as in former years. "I have proof that these cheques were made out a week ago and are still lying in the treasurer‘s office. The teachers s‘ould heve had their cheques before now. I also have proof that the stateâ€" iment was made by the treasurer two weeks ago that the cheques wouldn‘t tbe mailed before Christmas. Someâ€" thing is wrong with township affairs if the treasurer, and not the council is to say when and where the monles uf our ratepayers shall be paid. I want to know why they weren‘t sent ditt." "If you‘ll shut up a minute I‘ll anâ€" swer you". interjfected ‘Reeve Wagâ€" Ber "We are here as ratepayers and ure entitled to fair treatment by council _ members," _ replied _ Mr. Schummer. "Mr. Schummer is accusing the «>uncll of something we have nothing to do with", stated Reeve Wagner. The school insnector issues warrant orders as to when the monies are to I~ paid the schools. The township teasurer merely collects the money ard pays it out on instructions. "I read the inspector‘s warrant myâ€" self," said J. C. McKay, "and I stand behind the statement that that warâ€" rant is still lying in the treasurer‘s office today. Woolwich and Wilmot tewnships pass resolutions authorizâ€" ing the school monies paid, to give the treasurer authority to pay out the cheques if the inspector‘s warâ€" rant is too late, as it usually is." ‘‘Perhaps our clork is at fault in not instructing us to pass a similar rasolution," offered Deputy Reeve Ed. Huehn. "If such is the case Mr. Schummer‘s father when clerk never had us pass a resolution. ‘There is no sense in all this argument, when ‘u can be adjusted if we know the facte." Wm. Hertzog and John Reldel both council veterans, appealed to the ratepayers and council for a apirit of coâ€"operation. and suggested that an acc‘amation this year could be arâ€" ranged to save election costs. Mr. NReldel also lamented the absence of more interest in younger men of the township in township matters. Change Tax System? Mr. Hertzog‘s suggestion that the tax collection aystem be changed to twiceaâ€"year col‘ections, did not find favor with ratepayers. As one taxâ€" rayer remarked, ‘"That would be like docking a dog‘s tail in two Instal ments. twice as painful." School Cost High Cost of efucating township puptls at Kâ€"W. Collegiate is $120 a year each. and $90 a year at Elmira High School, Deputy Reeve Huchn statâ€" ed in reply to a question by Mr. Schummer. _ Exâ€"Councillor Wilmer Freeman stated that if a municipality has under 4,000 population, costs of high school education are borne by the county, and suggested that with cither Linwood or Wellesley popula t‘on deducted from the 4,287 populaâ€" tion of the township, Wellesley might be benefitted. Mr. Huehn |rromised to look into the matter. Wellesley this year paid $598 to the |K â€"W. Collegiate for educating Wel lealey atudents. "It has been said this council doesn‘t know what it is doing," re pied Reeve Wagner. ‘"In reply I say that I have arranged for a man from the Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs to attend our first meeting rext year and explain municipal proâ€" cedure to us." Evidence of nonâ€"coâ€"operation be tween the clerk and treasurer was offered by a ratepayer present who to‘d of paying his taxes two weeks ago to the township treasurer. "Just because Mr. Heimbuch had left two amounts off my tax bills thru inexâ€" perience, Mr. Barbour criticized him unmercifully before me, instead of crawing the matter to the clerk‘s aitention in a spirit of coâ€"operation. "Ten years ago when Mr. Barbour was appointed, this township paid our auditors to show Mr. Barbour how to keep municipal treasurer‘s Luoks. We paid for Barbour‘s misâ€" t«kes, and the latter now turns around and refuses to lend a helping hand to our new clerk. I want to know why this council is shirking its dutiea in telling Mr. Barbour to get busy and earn his money and coâ€" operate", said Mr. McKay. "Mr. McKay has had ‘the knife in for Barbour‘ for years, that‘s why this friction has come up today", said Wm. Milner, a ratepayer. Mr. McKay is cowardly to say these things in Mr. Barbour‘s absence." Mrs. John Schlueter were: Mr. and Nominees Speak Of the other â€" nominees, . Rd. Schott declared himself in the field in emse of an election, Wm. J. Wray was undecided and Wm. J. Burnett was absent. ‘ in concluding Mr. Ditner deciared that if elected there would be no iem of $268 for Reeve‘s salary as paid in 1987. ; Candidate ‘For Deputy Reeve Alf. E. Kerr, who received a noâ€" mination for both Deputy Reeve and councillor, spoke briefly. He comâ€" mented at some length upon the cost of the indigent patients to the townâ€" ship, pointing out that the bill ‘»mounted to over $500 this past year. ) Mr. Kerr who served nine years on the Wilmot township council affirmed his Intention of contesting the deâ€" puty reeveship. To Oppose Councilior Kerr Another _ candidate â€" for . deputy reeveship, Councilior ‘Wim. ‘Witsel, reviewed briefly the road work costs in the township in comparison to previous years. He was of the opinâ€" ion that the new power grader would prove Itself a great benefdt to the inunlcipality within another year when the roads had been shaped for its somewhat larger size, than that of the horse drawn graders. vincial Government which has taken over social services, roads as well as rebating ome mill of taxation. As a specied the county public buildings and was proud of the condition in which they were found. Mr. Ditner also reported upon the work done on the $acre plot rented each year for experimentation with oats infested with the nematode (Continued trom Page 1) at the cost of $12,982.18 during 1937, h< stuted. Due to the prevalence of icy roads, the council had taken out « policy for insurance against damâ€" »ge sults, the policy costing $108. Mr. Ditner briefly reviewed his ten years of service on the council and mentioned the many changes in adâ€" m‘nistration since is election in 1928. He deplored the lack of a storage shed for the township roadâ€" work machinery. Hf such a shed were built, he said, the province ‘would pay 507 of the cost and the maâ€" chinery would then be inspected and repaired for the work of the next \ear Mr. Witzel who served for three years on the council, said that at the L:sistance of his supporters he would step up and contest the deputyâ€"reeve ship. Councilior Hoht ‘The third member of the 1937 council, John Hoh] was the recipient of a nomination for both the deputyâ€" reeveship and for councilior. Mr. lioh] pointed out that there were caly two gravel tenders received by council in 1937, and was of the opinâ€" un that it was due to the fact that they had ‘been asked for after most «. the contractors had been engaged Replies to Charges At this point Reeve Schmidt rose to reply warmly to the Deputy \Reeve‘s remarks concerning the salâ€" wry question. He denied that he had made even one cent upon the 64 trips he had made during 1937. Some 49 were upon county work and 16 were for relief work. This he had done faithfully and remarked that "it was not a very nice fob." He had been remunerated at the rate of $188 for the county trips and $85 for reâ€" lief officer work. ‘The reeve causticâ€" »ily pointed out that the innovations which had taken place since Mr. Ditâ€" rer‘s election in 1928 were not due to one man‘s efforts and pointedly slated that the deputy reeve had opâ€" posed the purchase of the new power grader which was proving to be of such benefit to the township. It had been the policy of the council before Nr. Ditner was a member of the council to use crushed gravel on the Iruads. paint bridges and purchase srow fences. He denied he had made would not be a candidate for 1938. a promise to Mr. Ditner that he In regard to the $400 rontal Reeve Schmidt stated while the money has not been pald to date he has every Fope it would be. He stated he had been asked the opinion of each memâ€" ber of the council individually before the machine was rented and there was no time to prepare a written «greement as all the transactions were completed in one day. Referâ€" ring to the Huron road, Mr. Schmidt ’»aid he did not deem it necessary to consult the council on the matter as \it was an affair for the county road ind bridge committee. _ Charges Explained by Ditner Deputy Reeve Ditner then arose, scying "now he‘s started something". |He disputed the fact that he had made any of the statements attributed to him by the Reeve, claiming his remarks had been misunderstood in regards to the Reeve‘s salary. He repeated that he had said that he vwould see that thore was no such salary in 1938, and not that the eal ary was too high. un other business. He further menâ€" tioned that it might be advisable for council to call for tenders earlier in the year. Mr. Hohl, as junior member of the council asked for the support of the electors for another term. Mr. Gordon Page of New Dundee, a sapeaker of no mean ability, exâ€" plained that he was not at present sufficiently acquainted with the busiâ€" ness of the township and declined the |num|nnllon for the present. In reply Deputy Reeve Ditner «tked, "since when has the county road and bridge committee control ever township roads." 1 reply to an agitation by exâ€"Reeve Lantz over the system of collecting taxes, Mr. Ditâ€" ner stated he was opposed to the appointment of a tax co‘lector as the township is not covered in the case of theft from the tax collector and rlso that complete records are not always available, as when the money is col‘ected by the bank. He sugâ€" gested taking out robbery insurance if the syatem is followed. The Deputy Reeve, in explaining his criticism of the Reeve, told of the renting of the new power grader to the Storm Construction Company al $12.00 a day for work in Parry Sound. Thus far, he said, no rentals have been paid by the company which had not signed any agreement with the township, but had merely arrived at a verbal understanding with the Reeve himsolf. Other Speakers Geo. Lantz nominated for Reeve, declined to run for office. He took Issue with the council over their reâ€" turn to the old method of reappointâ€" ing a tax collector, saying that they had paesed no bylaw to this effect. \Ur. John C. Howling spoke briefly upon the grading done by the counâ€" ©il and stated that he would run for r meat as councilior this year. Messre. _ Norman _ Koehler and Henry Bowman stated that they had Tt;innnrp rouds were maintained ‘Norman Zimmerman and Conrad Rueffer announced their candidature. Herbert Bergey, nominated for counâ€" cil, stated that since he holds a townâ€" ship position, he is automatically disâ€" qualifiod. Gordon | Hallman nominated for many successive years, only to refuse to stand, announced his candidature for 1938. He had carefully considerâ€" ed the matter and had consented to accept the new responsibility if the electors saw fit to e‘ect him. Former Councilior Herbert Kaster announced his candidature for counâ€" cil. Power Grader Expense $980 Road Superintendent J. Herber briefly outlined the work of the past year and reported the use of a new policy in gravelling. Heâ€"stated that operating expenses of the new powâ€" er grader amounted to $960.31. Favored Enlarging Hall Tax Collector E. B. Hallman re ported upon his collections. He had run his car over a mileage of 1387, during the past 10 months. The arâ€" rears collected amounted to $9500 or §6% of the total, and current taxes amounted 83% of their total. He adâ€" vocated the enlarging of the townâ€" ship hall which was annually overâ€" crowded. not as yet decided as to whether they .would run. â€" School Attendance Officer A. R. G. Smith reported that the child popuâ€" lation of Wilmot township had de creased by 114 during the past five years. Will Collect Full Rental Reeve Schmidt, answering the charges of Deputy Reeve Ditner to the effect that the township might lose the rental of the new power krader, stated that the Storm Conâ€" struction Company was one of the largest in the province, and expressâ€" ed himself of the opinion that there was no danger of losing a cent of the $400. ‘The delay in settling the bill he believed due to the holdup in the Parry Sound municipalities‘ payâ€" ments to the company.
