Reproduced herewith are the two sides of the "Bouquet” token, one of the earliest coins issued by the Bank. The inter mingling of the rose, shamrock and thistle indicates the three branches of the British people—the English, Scotch and Irish—while the use of English on one side of the coin and French on the other is significant of the. mingling of the two races in this country. REEVE J. J. HAYES, OF STEPHEN ELECTED WARDEN OF HURON Reeve J. J. Hays, of Stophen Tp. was elected Warden of Huron at the County Council meeting held in Goderich last week. The selection was made on the first ballot. The motion nominating him at the open ing session was' moved by Mr. F. J. McQuaid and seconded by Mr. AIL Baeker. The mover and seconder of the motion were the other aspir ants for the position of warden. Mr. Hays addressed the council thanking his fellow members for the honor they bestowed upon him. His election he said brought responsibil ity as well as pleasure, hut looking into the faces of the members he felt there was no reason to fear for the conduct of the county’s business. County expenses were higher than some years ago; the expenditures on education, administration of justice, and roads had increased considerably and he asked that the greatest care be taken during the year to carry on the business in an economical man ner. He trusted there would be full and frank discussion of matters com ing before the council, and he hoped the new members as well as the old ones would take part in the discus sions and have confidence in express ing their convictions. I “Trade and Agriculture” indicates the early connection of the Bank with both urban and rural life in Canada.

In connection with the County auditor’s financial report Mr. Lane gave some information. He stated that the county’s share of the cost ember 1927, and arrangements had' been made with the province to carry this in the meantime at 5! per cent, interest, so that the county’s share of the cost of the Huron Road pave ment was net due until September of 1928, when, he understood, it was intended to issue debentures so That no action was necessary until the June session. As to the deficit of $17,000 Mr. Lane pointed out that repairs to the House of Refuge and the Court House amounting to about $7,000 had not been provided for in the estimates. Outside schools cost the county $3,000 for maintenance of Huron County pupils. Charity (in cluding cost of patients at lxpspiaals) ten years ago.cost the county $158; in 1926, $405; and in 1927, $3,430, and this was another large increase. And the equilization proceedings cost over $2,000 instead of $1,200, the amount estimated. A statement of the expenditures in 1927 on the Huron Road between Goderich and Clinton was submitted showing 47,G3 8.50 for construction and $1,761.36 for maintenance as the 20 per cent, of total cost payable by the county. The total expenditure on the road in 1927 was $238,192,49 for construction and $8,806.79 for maintenance. The expenditure on construction of Huron Road pave ment for 1926, together with inter est, amounted to $31,726.10 as the county’s 20 pei’ cent., making a total debt by the county to the Province of $81,125,96. The clerk ’presented a large num ber of communieatione to the coun cil. Chairman Holman of the Mothers’ Allowance Board pointed out that lhe payments ’ under the Mothers’ Allowance Act appeared larger than j usual, on account of the payment of $3100 being held over from the pre vious year. There was little or no increase in the year’s expenses. At the Wednesday morning ses sion Mr. Baeker spoke of the great satisfaction inmates of the County Home were getting from the radio installed in the county home, and the accoiint for this was referred to the Houe of Refuge committee. The county clerk reported having received notice from the government that, owing- to the Provincial asyl ums being crowded, counties were being asked to provide for the ac commodation of harmless patients in the county houses of refuge. He had answered .the letter, pointing out that the Province could look after the patients in convalescent homes more cheaply than the could be looked after in Houses of Refuge. A representative from the Depart ment was present at the council to go into the matter. A. list of those in Ontario asylums who might be sent back was "submitted numbering eleven. The clerk raised the question of changing the time of year of the holding-of theH^vuneil meetings-and- a good deal of discussion took place but no definite action was taken. The clerk pointed out that the Jan- uary session followed the December session too closely and suggested holding the last session in November instead of December. Another sug gestion was that the June session be held a month earlier so as to give the Road Commission time to decide on road work for the year or that the road commission of one year lay out the program for the next year hav ing gained a better knowledge of the roads than new1 men would.
