Minutes1929-1931
I appreciate this morning more tlzn ever, the arduous task before
me in fillin~ the position vacated by him~
In considering conditions in our conuunity, we have but to real-
ize the development which has taken place in our midst i~m the last
few years, But, ~s prosperous as has been the year just trussed, I am
confident that the year to cane will be a year outstaniing Ln the
history of our City.
The building programs already initiated, of ti~.e General B~~ock
Hotel, which is to be completed early in tl~e Stu~'~er, and the Henr_ipin
Hotel, the construction of which has already started. These two
additions to our Hotel systems when completed will add m~ch to the
business of our City, and give employment to mar~y citize~m during
the remainiI~g Winter months.
The extension of the i-lydro Electric Power ~louse at ~ueenston
will create a large expenditure, which alone argues well for a busy
and prosperous year.
~s you are aware, the electors voted upon the questign of build-
ing a Filtration Plant with certain changes in the situation of our
Waterworks intake which vras carried by a substantial majority. This
work will no doubt be inaugurated at an early date. It is now our
duty to proceed with the iz ssing of the necessary By-Law, so that
funds my be available for the financing of the project when tl~e
Commission requires them.
In regard to this development, I feel strongly that Local Engineerl
Contractors and Uorkmen should be employed.
There are some things I would like to draw to your attention, that
they may meet'with your consideration and careful tho~ght, so ths, t
action may be taken when these questions come before the Board.
The first is that a survey be made of our Assessment system, with
the i~[e~ of correcting inequalities if they exist. The best means of
L
doing this will have to be decided upon hy .you gentlemen, a~j~ if the
present system is fou~ ~ntir~, measures to correct this fault will
have to be ~aken.
The seconl is t~t we should meet the I~dro Con~ission with the
idea of findi~ f~om them if there is any possible ~y, ~y ti~e concert-
ed action of all interested, in securi1~ from the i~rovincisl [~ydro
Oo~mission a better ~te for Electric power that we ~.~y be able to
meet neighbouri~ cities on an equal footil~ iu this respect. Such
an effo~t may not brh~ results, but if vJe do fail, we will ]~ow upon
w~t g~omids. This will put us in a position to carry this request
to a higher court.
While the past Com~cil took sane action in c~-.m~ection with certain
items of the City ]~amger' s report i,zsued last i(ovembcr, i tliuk it
would be advisable to have a meeti~ of the Co~uuittee of the Whole as
soon as possible and go over this report with the 1-~,,u~cr that we new
members of the Boar& might become entirely i~miliar wit~ all phases
of the same.
We have now entered upon a Mew Year. It is a ~uty inc~nbent upon
us tlz t we endeavo~r to conduct the affairs of the City in such a
ma~er as to fulfill the tr~st placed in us by the Electors. I would
ask you Aldermen to perform this task faithfully an~ well. The a~vance-
merit of Civic operations is often retardel by neglect of elccte~ offic-
ials.
Fault finli~ and petty jealousies should be kept in check, conduce
the City' 2 business In ~ison an~ accord, sacrificing petsoral fcelR~s
to achieve this end, and in tl~s ~y secur~g the co-operation of all
City Officials and ~pleyees luring our tern} of office.
The minutes of the previous meeting lmvix~ been received and read,
they were a~opte~ on the motiota of Ai~. Wilkinson & Newnan.

Unemp 1 oym en t ·
The unemployment situation in this City was
fully discussed by the Council and the City Manager g~ve
a verbal report in this connection.
Ald. Inglis brought up the question that some-
thing should be done to aid the unemployed men who are
paying so much interest and principal on account of their
homes so that dnring this season of depression, their
homes may not be taken away £rom them. Al.d Wilkinson
suggested that the City Manager take this matter up quietly
with the Attorney-General to see if it would be possible
to do anything along this line, and if in order, that this
Council pass a resolution asking the other municipalities
to endorse same, and submit it to the Government for
oonsiderati on.
312
Ai&. Inglis also suggested that when the City
En61ne er aPd his helpers are giving tickets for work,
if they notice tk~t the man receiving the ticket is not
physically fit for heavy work, to mark the ticket specify-
in6 that the foreman gXve the bearer sorae light.work-
EIjEC TI ON-
Aid. MoAninch brought to the attention of the
Codicil the fact that at some of the Polling booths, this
election ~mld not be en carried on according to the Municipal
Act, and that such irregularities as opening the ballot
boxes, ballots not being initialled, literature for cert-
ain cmdidate~ being distr lbuted, etc. occurred.
Ald. Donald remarked that sufficient accommo&at-
ion was not provided at all the Polls and suggested that
care be given to this matter at the next election.

We, in this City,
are perhaps in an enviable position when compared .~ith other
sections. i[evertheless, n,any were found to be out of employ-
mont. A system was ina~urated where all men iesirous of
relief work were registered, a check-up of t~se men v~ks made,
the work possible to do was ~istrib~ted to the most needy on
a ~sis of two days a week. You are perhaps well acquainted
with the syst~n in operation, also the fact that a I,i~icipal
Dining Hall .as been opened which is worthy of a visit from
yo~ gentlemen, and, despite criticism, there is no need for
any man, woman, or child to go hungry, or in need of ~elter
of wa~nth in this City. Uhile speaki~ of this, I would li,:e
to thank all who contributed to the relief fund which will do
much to alleviate sufi'erii~ durlD~ the months to come and which
speaks highly of the generosity anl kindliness of heart of the
citizens of this City. In this connection, I would 1L~e to
express my appreciation of the service clubs snd charit~ ble
