Shelve Reforestation
Reforestation in Huron county, talk-
ed about these many days, received
another setback at the 'closing session
of County Council. when that body Vot-
ed• down a motion to place $2,000 in
this year's estimates (with which to
get the program under way. The vote
was 15'to 10. Warden Feagan expres-
sed his disappointment. '
Last year's,' council agreed upon
the purchase of plots of 100acres of
waste land in various parts' of • the\
country for reforestation. The suni
of 35000 (was voted to get. the scheme
under way but the money. was never
authorized by 1by-law. •
During• the discussion; various
:Reeves wanted to' know what plots
were to he purchased, their location
and price, before voting any money.'
Some urged .that individual farmers
be subsidized for planting quarter -
acre plots. '
