phone Now market at every Fri day night from to am to Norm EDITORIAL Vote Yes On Monday We doubt if there has ever been a vote in market which was greeted with jess enthusiasm than the votes on a y for deputyreeve and on the Question of rebuilding Main St The voters are in- to dismiss the former as a mere formality and to ignore the latter because they believe that the question should never have been put before tliemjn the first place And rightly so A decision on rebuilding Main St was the responsibility of council but against the oppo sition of three council members Reeve Arthur Evans and Councillors Lome Paynter and Charles VanZant council to let the public decide instead It was a clearcut instance of council abdication of Us duties We strongly suspect that a good many voters will vote against their convictions that the work should be done or- not vote at all simply to let the how they object to this refusal to accept responsibility As personally gratifying as this may be it will not give Newmarket the Main St it should have Theres every reason that the work should be done at There are the grants from county arid province the rising cost of maintenance the pre sent condition of the street and the fact that the longer the job is delayed the more cost Theres not a citizen in Newmarket who does not accept these basic truths Even the members of council recognize them We urge every voter to mark his ballot in favor of rebuilding Main St Then if they are still annoyed with council mark their ballots accordingly at the annual elections in December AUXILIARY TEA

tax collector Smith In old postage stamps In the collection of stamps were largo number of World War I vintage bearing a picture of Sir Borden Another set issued the thirties used a picture of the Prince of Wales The were during the reign lata King George VI The only other unusual lax payment Mr Smith had heard of was when a man paid his taxes pecan nuts in California VANZANT STATES YES VOTE NEEDED FOR MAIN STREET I strongly urge that citi zens vote in favor of rebuilding Main St said Councillor Charles this week Mr was one of the three mem bers of council who voted to go ahead with the project without submitting it to a public vote l4 work must be done soon er or later said Mr VanZant The longer we wait the more expensive the job wilt At the present time wo arc sure of financial assistance from tho county road commission Wo cant he sure of that assistance after this year If we Walt we may have to pay the whole cost of the work He pointed out loo that by do ing Hie job tho of a growing Amount of mainten ance work would be saved That money spent on mainten ance is simply Wasted money it has to te spent each year with out more resulling than a temporary patching job The Newmarket Boy Scouts will collect salvage on both sides of the town on Saturday Sept Paper bag cardboard and anything saleable will bo picked up These collections are the Scouts moans of raising funds And the support of householders is warmly wel comed Many Who attended said that as a nomination meeting it was disappointing There was open discus sion about the vote on the Main St project the meet ing was well publicized and the public was urged to ask questions about doubtful technicalities n the Main Si project to pave wid en and make other improvements to the street few were asked The for the deputy- reeves office will be he oh Monday arid on the day the ratepayers will be to vote yes or no to the St proposal Nominations in the following order were Herb by and Wain- man Harry Goodman by James Otton and Goodman Joseph Dales by Chester Best and Robert and by Dick and Morrison Candidate said It is with a feeling of humility that I offer myself as a candidate for deputyreeve It is a long time since I have acted in municipal affairs The town is either committed or will have to commit itself to heavy expenditures for a long time to come he said He fa vored the Main St project and added 1 hope the ratepayers to vote for it when so financial help is available at the present time It is surprising that the street has lasted as long as it has When that street was paved sand gravel was poured in arid only a hot top was cov ered it Anyqnc who promised certain economies for the municipality on the platform would only be fooling himself and everyone else in these difficult times We are in the midst of heavy costs and difficult municipal financing he said lie said it would be a difficult task to take over the office with the confidence to do the job as well as the late J I All four candidates paid tribute to Mr and his work oh town council and county council Candidate Harry Goodman charged that the election for a deputyreeve was not necessary Council could have carried on until the end of the year without an election he said I believe that no miracles can happen between now and the end of council term Lets hold down our taxes he said There are certain things which can stand improvement and with the rise in cost of living it is under standable that cost of repairs and taxes go up in proportion but lets keep the taxes down I am for more industries I hope to get them even if we must give concessions and free land We can tip that as long as we get certain taxation from them school tax Further I am in favor of more advertising of the own On the Main St proposal Mr Goodman said 1 believe that may hot cover the cost We dont know trie condition of the sewers or of the water mains I have had lift experience in municipal affairs but enough business to fear no man who opposes me I hope to get electee I know that no man can do miracles in six or eight weeks he said Joseph Wales said I do not have to attempt to justify the municipal which governs us in the culling of ah election mayor it there wiry of getting around It With out an election would hot be legally constituted if you the electors see fit to elect Mr or myself there will be a vacancy oh coun cil The only way of filling the would be to have election for councillor To lack a vote on council is riot a serious matter but to lack a rep resentative on county council is a serlotis thing he said There are important things going on at county council You people deserve a representative there I humbly offer to be your representative He added thai ho had served three years on Newmarket council The Main St matter is largely a technical said Mr Dales The engineer is here to answer questions Why was it to a vote believe that time and again the should be con sulted felt at this was an ideal time to doit Too often in the past councils have forced their wilt by saying T know whats best for should spend your money this way It was a short cut The municipal board has the power to dispense with a vote I doubt if the municipal board would have let this controversial issue go by without a vote v reason rio money has been spent on the road is that the county- knows it is going to be turned Kick to the town he said Iaiii in favor of the Main St being done in this fashion and that we work 24 hours a day to get it Suppose the electors say no This will come up again If it became a town road there would ben contribution available of fromVthe provincial government plus ihe 40000 which goes to the county a total of if it comes back to us Perhaps we could get an al ternative grant from the county on something else possibly the hospital Mr Dales Candidate Pay feel out of place on the platform at this late date -I- loo am of the opinion that the ejection was not necessary Other councils have filled vacancies when they were in the same position as T also soy that a vote on the Main St was not necessary I was one of three members of council who opposed it The work would not have been done this fall at any rate and this some vote could have been taken at the annual election in in favor of the work being done if not next year then in the next four or five years This money for the work has been ready in county council for four or five years and we havent taken advantage of it candidate mentioned new industry for Newmarket Any industrial man coming to New market will take a look at Main St and say town is not for Tn the last three years I have worked on the roads and bridge committee with Mr Boxvserfpr two years Eight miles of side walks were laid arid four and a half of in that time But what have you seen done this year- to be chairman of the following MK Dowsers retirement from council but that did not come true can say that have riot let the public down with one act or one word I am open to sugges tions from the public at all times whether it be connected with town council or county council was prepared to go along and- resign my seat on council said Mr l the soli citor told Us otherwise It is not iny fault or Mr fault that the ruling was so made REGISTER FPrdACiN An meeting of the Betty Gordon club was held on Monday 15 at the ball fol lowing the
