County Council Finds New Home Fire which destroyed the Brit- •ish Exchange Hotel, Goderich, last month, also destroyed the tradi- tional living quarters of the county councillors. For many years the reeves and deputy.reeves from all over the county have travelled three times a year to the county town, and they have been in the habit of putting up in the British Exchange. This time, however, Reeve Orville Taylor, East Wa- wanosh, chairman of the council's property- committee, has arranged for room's for them at a tourist home. . C.

'Councillors are Walter iorlbes, Grant Stirling, Kenneth Merner and Clayton Laithwaite. George Ginn, Goderich, acted as chairman for the meeting which saw nearly 30 ratepayers in .at- tendance, He noted• that this was ' the first time in 35 years at least, that a second nomination had been necessary in the township, He said there should be a lot of young Hien M the township willing to let their names stand for council, Reeve John Deeves congratulat- ed Mr. Laithwaite on his acclatna- tion, andcorrected himself on figures given, at the previous nom- , leaden play meeting.

Trewartha, deputy reeve of Clinton, and a former reeve of the township, recalled, his early association with muni- cipal life. He had atone time sat with 'C. Laithwaite's father in, County Council, whom he said was nofed in County work as be- ing a sound financier. Edward Grigg, a former reeve of the township mentioned the need for, some change in the loca- tion of the stop sign 3n Holmes- vllle, now that Highway 8 went past the village.` He felt that 'the olid highway 'should be made the stop street, and the county road shouild be a through street right up to the new highway, James R.

Mr. Ginn was disappoint- ed that in one daily at least only a few small items were mentioned in the news,` and the rest was forgotten.' . Nelson W.
