Nomination Day. Last Monday was Nomination Day in our Municipality. There was a large attendance which shows that the rate Davers take a keen interest in the if fairs pertaining to the welfare of the community. The Auditor's Keport of Receipts and Expenditures was distributed showing the financial standing of the Municipal itv. The Revenue from all sources for the year was $111,104 84.

the total expen diture was $17,100.29. This shows that the expenditure has been kept well with in the receipts. The affairs of the Municipality have been well managed, In fact so well managed that no one could be found to oppose Reeve Paisley. Mti Paisley is a matt of vigor and has pursued an aggressive policy during the past year, lie, of course, ran up against the ideasof some but everybody conceded that Mr. Paisley's administra lion of the affairs of the Municipality insured him another term, and those who would like to have opposed hiqj thought it best to make a virtue of Jiey cessity and permit his election by ac claiuation.

The Ward system has been abolished and as a result each voter may mark nis ballot for six councillors out of the nine candidates in the field. It would be perhaps difficult to say who will be elected. We are scrry public meetings were not arranged for every night throughout the Municipality til) polling day. These meetings do good. It gives people a chance to air their grievances.

It gives the councillors a chance to lay their views before the people, and as a result, we would have better by laws, and what is of more im portance. the by laws would be more easily enforced, because after a full dis cussion the people would feel that the by laws were theirs. The Trades' License By law and the Noxious Weeds By law came in for a great deal of criticism. Mr. Paisley made a statement in discussiug the for mer that was misunderstood.

His statement was that if the Trades' Lie ease By law was repealed that a whole sale liquor shop could be opened here without regard to the wish of the peopla It is weli understood that the retail licencss are granted under Provincial Statute, and that the conditions for get Ing a license to sell liquor by retail are fixed by the Province and cannot be altered by any Municipality. There are certain things that the Municipality can fix, that is, the number of licences to be granted, the hours of sale, the amount of the licence fee and a few minor details. The Municipality get this authority, of course, from the Pro vincial Statute. There seemed to much confusion in the minds of some at the public meeting Monday after noon. A resolution was finally passed re commending the new council to amen the Trades' License By law.

This will likely be done. Reeve Paisley said that all would pay their first half year's licenco this year by the first of February. Another bone of contention was th entorciug of the By law referring to the cutting of Scotch thistles. Sorn wanted it enforced but not too strictly, What they meant by this was that cultivated land enforce the By law but not to enforce It on bush land. It difficult to see how a law could be enforced to meet the conflicting views of the people who wereopposed to cutting thistles.

Some claimed that there was much partiality in the enforcement of the law. The whole thing needs carp, ful enneidi ration, but it cannot surely be the wish of any considerable number of farmers here that these thistles be allowed to grow and go to seed without any effort to stamp them out. The Reeve asked all present to send in letters stating what liiey would like one with the thistles. Each of the old councillors gave a brief account of his stewardship for the past year and asked to be returned for another year. The throe new caoadi dates spoke briefly, sollcltfnft the Bup port of the ratepayers.

One of the new men advocated the advertising for tenders to fill the offices of the Municipality, asking applicants to state salary. This We consider a most vicious principle The Municipal ity knows what the work that it wants one is worth. Fix the salary then get the best luau available to do the work Tardis newTnoteTI I From our own Correspondent. ll Mr. Walter Prowse ha gooe to Mt Sicker mines to work for a time.
