Brill featured the insugural meeting of the Waterioo Town Council held on Monday morning. ‘The Mayor expressed the hope that it would be unnecégsa@ry to increase the tax rate this year and urged the various committees to keep welt within their estimates. He pointed out that the outlook is for a further improvement in business conditions during 1926. He referred to many questions which the council will be obliged to consider this year and trusted that all members would work harmoniously together for the best interests of the town. The Mayor‘s address was in pert as fol lows: "Permit me at this time to eon-l gratulate you on your election to the 1926 council, and I take mucb; pleasure in welcoming the new members. _ The former â€" members may feel assured that their services were appreciated, some by being reâ€" turned by acclamation and others ‘ by having majorities. . "The ratepayers showed a keener interest in the last election than for some years and we should realize ‘that the positions we occupy are of "great responsibility, the obligations pf which should not be lightly asâ€" sumed and I hope that every memâ€" ber of this council will take an acâ€" tive part in every discussion as the ratepayers elected you to do, not only exercising your voting privil ege "The year 1925 showed an imâ€" provement in business and everyâ€" thing points to still further improvâ€" ed conditions for 1926, but we should at this time take into acâ€" count the reduced earning power of the ratepayers in general, and try to avoid an increase in taxation, by cconomizing wherever practicable. The different â€" committees which will be appointed should estimate their expenditures . very carefully and work in harmony and it would be gratifying indeed if each had a surplus at the end of the year. â€" "It is my intentton to have the ! council visit the various institutions l!hat we help to maintain, so that we may be in a better position when called upon to explain expendiâ€" tures. As regards the county matâ€" ters I believe we are well representâ€" ed taken by the Council This "We should at all times work in harmony with the elected bodies so that there will be no overlapping in iny work undertaken this year. Among questions to be taken up this year, which were held over from last year are the town planâ€" ning byâ€"law, fire limits byâ€"law, mediâ€" cal health officer‘s report, traffic byâ€" law and the joint isolation hospital with Kitchener, all of which I trust you will give your earnest utte'mion‘ Then there is the fall fair which should receive your hearty support. ADDRESS BY _ MAYOR BRILL "Several appointments will have to be made on varioug_boards and 1 hope the men appointed will fill the various offices so as to reflect credit on themselves and the town." Favors Fall Fair â€" Deputy reeve Dan Bohlender reâ€" ferred to the proposed County Fair io be held at Waterloo. He saw no reason why the fall fair should not be a success when with little effort the recent horse show and Christâ€" mas market was held with splendid success. ' Reeve Dietrich and councillors Weiler, Ratz and Ludwig congratuâ€" lated the Mayor and other members on their election and trusted all would work together harmoniously. The new chairman of the finance committee, Ira Snyder, said he would _ endeavor _ to â€" decide all‘ questions on their merits. He apâ€" preciated the confidence placed in him by the electors.

HAmdorf, treasurer, J. Rahn, auditors, F. Rueffer and J. H. SsOCIETY MEETS Much important business was dis~ posed of by the Waterioo Town Council at the meeting held on Monâ€" day evening, chief among which was the appointmient of the v officersâ€"and â€" officials for the new year, reception of reports of the difâ€" ferent committees and other routine business. It was decided to fix the opening of market for selling to the public at 1.15 p.m. on the recomâ€" mendation of the market committee. The request of the butchers oi Waterloo to pass a byâ€"law prohibitâ€" ing the sale of meats without a liâ€" cense was referred to the finance committee. Exâ€"Mayor William Henâ€" derson was appointed a member of the Water and Light Commission to fill the unexpired term of C. N. Huehn, who resigned. The appointâ€" ment of a tax: collector and assesâ€" sor was deferred until the February meeting owing to the fact that asâ€" sessor Geo. Haehnel declined to act for 1926 without an increase in sal ary. The council decided to provide skating on open air rinks at the park lake, one rink for hockey and Ianother for skating. Exâ€"Mayor Wm. Henderson Appointed Member of Water and Light Commission.â€"Defer Appointment of Tax Collecâ€" Appointment of Officials . On motion of deputy reeve Bohâ€" lender and councillor Ira Snyder, exâ€"Mayor William Henderson was' named as the new member for the Water and Light Commission to‘ fill the unexpired term of C. N. Huehn who resigned. In speaking to the motion, deputy reeve Bohlender said he knew of no man better suited for the position than exâ€" Mayor Henderson, and with his past experience in the work of the com:â€" mission would be a valued memâ€" ber. P When the question of the appointâ€" ment of assessor and tax collector\ was brought up deputy reeve Bohâ€" lender moved that the matter be left over until the next meeting in order that assessor Hachnel, who was not present, could be given an opportunity ‘to address the council. He said that he understood Mr. Haehnel would not accept the poâ€" sition at the same salary as 1925 which he considered inadequate. Reeve Dietrich stated that he was assessor in Wilmot Township for a number of years and he did not believe the sum of $600 was sufficient remuneration for the work required to be done by the Waterâ€" loo assessor. Mayor W. D. Brill said he was opposed to an increase in the as-‘ sessor‘s salary and considered $600 ample remuneration for the time re-‘ auired for the work. He favored making the appointment at once. Ira Snyder, chairman of the Finance Committee was not in favor of inâ€" creasing the assessor‘s salary and considered $600 salary enough in view of the time required, four months; to complete the work of asâ€" sessing the town. At this point tax collector Jacob Uffelman addressed the council and stated that he would be willing to accept both the position of tax colâ€" lector and assessor for the same salary as paid for 1925. He further stated that the work of the tax collector was greater than that of the assessor. In Preston one official takes care of both offices at a salâ€" ary of $1,£00.00. The motion to defer the making of appointments for assessor and tax collector until the February meeting ended in a tie and Reeve Dietrich, who was in the chair, cast the deciding vote in favor of the motion.

Deputy reeve Bohlender expressed the opinion that a byâ€"law passed by the council would have little effect as it would override a provincial byâ€"law. Other Matters ‘ The resignation of E. H. Schlosser from the town planning commission was accepted with regret by the council on motion of Councilior Weiler. Mayor Brill informed the council that they were invited to be present at the next meeting of the Board of Trade on Monday evehing when the question of a fall fair for Waterloo iN be discussed.
