'signs of giving way in various

necessary to -correct this situation.
The committee' .authorized the
advertising of this work; however;,
„due to the time;; ofyear'no, tenders`

The details of this report will be
divided into two sections; one deal-
ing -'with the routine Operations of
the Home, and the .second • part
with the.:construetion. program as
it sstandsa
t the present esent ti
e.
• As you.are, no ,doubt, aware, Mr:
Harvey Johnston, our superintend-
ent, bas been ill :.for :some time. At
the time of preparing -this report
Mr. Johnston • was still in the hos-
pital. Therefore, through, the 'co-
operation' of the remainder of the
staff and the board,., we have been
endeavouring to carry 'MI to the
be_ t•of our_ability during -Mr -John_:
son's absence.
It was ;decided by your conhmit-
tee `. that : furtherstaff was `nees-.
sary hr -order that. proper super-
vision could be carried : out there-
fore, your committee' :advertised:
for an orderly..
In response to: the ad, no suit -
"able applications were •received..
After•making various;mquiries- and
after giving this.? matter serious
�,� os,
consideration, Mr, John Nediger, of
Clinton, :was- engaged [as an order-
ly for the ,County. Home at .a sal-
ary -of $2600.09 -per -.annum
..
Th'
e matter o -
F_ farm rxn

was
given • further study and it • was
established ;that there -was no age
limit as -far as Workmen's ' Coni
pensatidn'_Board was concerned:
therefore, the -sons of Mr. Collins,'
who was employedAt the County
Home,' were covered, and the :.De-
partment of Labouradvised:-that.
there were,no restrictions for farm
employment as far. as `they ,,Were

Mr.

pen' to any members of his,
other than: those on the .payroll'in-
case of an,accident at the County

feels that this 'situation 'has' been
covered.. _satisfactorily.
If as"..agreed to authorise 'Mr:
Collins to purchase a quantity of

also to 'engage an extra tractor
from ,the Cities Service Company

in .Clinton at, therate of 50c .per.

_ Some difficulty was encountered
by your committee with referenee
to the --fuel being suppliedto the
Home. However, Sterling Fuels of
London have corrected this situa-
tion
by the addition of an additive
and ,this is being supplied . at no
extra 'cost to the county.

As you will 'rec Il tenders were
requested for : both - the ',kitcheni
equipment and the laundry equi-
ment. These tenders were -called
for , the purpose' of endeavouring
to obtain p'rices:, so that •the com-
mittee could establish.. a final cost
figure for county •council. There -
