Before leaving the financial portion of this address, may I qualm the fears of some over our debenture committments, the mayor portion is recoverable by frontage charges, grants etc, and our financial position is just as good as the Old Loy of Threadneedle Street. I do flat intend to deal very much on the Public Utility Commission, as that will be dealt with by the present Chairman, Mr, R, F. Booth, who will speak later on, Now as your representative on the Welland County Council, I would like to state that during the three years I have been there we have had more road work constructed in Stamford than there was in the 8 years previously. Former Deputy Reeve Stuart A. Moore who was on the road committee did wonderful work, and this oa work for 1954, Hehservedj� the Townshipswell and tfaithfullyrind his term of two years, and it is to be regretted that temporarily we have to lose his services, As far as the County Council is concerned, I am beginning to come to the conclusion, that they are becoming more of a liability instead of an asset to many municipalities, I do not believe any County Council should be run on political lines, It does not tend for the best administration. In the road department, very frequently the municipality that pays the smallest amount of road taxes into the County gets the largest road construction, and vice versa, as has been Stamfordrs share for many years, It has practically cost 435,000,00 in sessional and committee time this year, and our share of that amounts to 4 so you will see that Stamford is a good milch goat for other municipalities. to the C, HI conclusion Radio Station,, tele C, Young Realty Insuran.e Company Ltd,, the Thorold Concrete Block Company, for the sponsorshi.) of the boradeasts of our meetings, and wMickb I know have a great listening audience, and to both of the papers, for their fair reports of the meetings, Gentlemen, this is the end of my address, we have a busy yea', ahead of us.
