' That the exodus to the west •which has been so marked during the last few years is having an effect in the decrease of this county's rural popul- atiOn is shown by the figures compiled by County Clerk Lane from the re- turns furnished by the assessment rolls of the various municipalities for 1905. In 1004, according to the assessors' figures, the total population of the townships of Huron county was 40,687. In 1005 it was 39,997, a decrease of 690. The total mutation of the towns and villages increases 220 in the year,, from 16,104 to 16,381. The aggregate, population of the county in 1901 was 56,851 and in 1905 56,381, a clecrease of 470. Mr, Lane says that in ton years the population of Huron has decreased by about 5,000. We give below the figures for the Iwo • years for each municipality. It will he seen that Ash. field, Goderich and Tiirriberry town- ships are the only rural inunieipalities' that show an increase.. • .1,01.ULAITION ' OP 1:11.712,0X . MUNICIPAL.
