Th he e Clerk, Mr. A. M. Barton,
said Ci, Reynolds laed always lid thle
courage of this convictions. His ad
vice had always been most usefiul and
helnpful, and he was a councillor they
could illafford to lose. He lhoped
that in the future Cr. Reyanolds"would
be abl ito see his o ay to stand

Replying, Cr Re ynyn olds sald 'i ie adi
to thank them.for their flattering re
marks. He deeply appreciated the
sentiments expressed, and in reply,
collld say that this last term of .six
years had been mast congenial and
nhleaant. During that time lie had
benefited by lils associations with the
coinclhlors and staff. He felt that
perhaps he should have stay:d, but
declining years and medical advice
hlad decided him to take the step,
