Baker, of Brussels, was elected AVarden of Huron Coun­ ty for 1930 at the opening, session of- the January meeting on Tuesday afternoon of last week without oppo­ sition. The motion nominating him was made by Messrs. Trewartha and Mole. Reeve McKibbon, of AVingham escorted him to tho Warden's chair and ex-AVarden Inglis administered the oath of office, after which Mr. Baeker made his opening speech, thanking the members of the county for the honor of allowing him to fill so important a position which he recognized also had its responsi­ bilities. The basic industry of tho County is ..farming. As the old say­ ing put it if agriculture flourished every line prospered and is it lan­ guished every one felt the effect and the county council was confronted with the problem of legislating -in the best interests of the county as a whole. The problems of the county coun­ cil were becoming greater and greater from year to year and much of the increased expenditure was uncontrollable by the county. The cost to the county for education had increased from $65,000 in 1922 to $ 135,001) no’w, and owing to the way railway trains, ran. a considerable amount was'paid to Collegite Insti­ tutes in other febunties. For instance pupils from his own community went ■to Listowel High School and were able to be home every evening. The’ Mothers’ Allowance was another source of- 'increased expenditure. When he first came, to the county council ‘it-he.„cost for this work was $2400 mow it had risen to $11,000. And last year' the Old Age Pension system had put another expenditure on the county and*lie. believed the cost to tlie county would increase as people lost some of the pride which at the outset kept some from apply­ ing -for the pension. His caution to the council was to place the levy this -year high enough to meet the expenditures. He always believed in paying as you go and in eight years’ service as reeve in his own' village the rate had been reduced from 45. mills to 30 and a deficit of $6,000, had been turned into a surplus of $10,000. The county could be financed similarly* but not on the old basis of deferring pay­ ments. Ho was against the putting off Of payment of the first $32,000 for tlie Provincial Highway as three- fifths of a mill would have paid this at the time. Then the province de­ ducted-this from the grant to the County Highway System and this and $20,001) of debentures which were issued for the Holmesville bridge and which came due in 1929 with no sinking fund provided to 0 The it*-' ft ,k . t; ’.Il t; ti Tf. A 1 * - The Adjutant Kerr, representing tke( Salvation Army Rescue Homo AVork* at London addressed the council ak the AVtdnesday afternoon ‘ meeting op the work of Ue institution, point­ ing out tlmt it was facing a defidti of $4,000. The AVarden brought up the mat-* tei* of the finances and suggested that appointed composed perieneed members council. Moved by Messrs, son and .Sweitzer that tee be composed of Ex-AVardens Tre wartha, Inglis, McKibbon and Coun­ cillors Be Carried. County seated his red by a number of tho members of the council. Mr. Goldthorpe fount! fault with tho way the snow plow, is being used in many cases in lh$ township, piling up snow each sid(J^ in front of farmers’ gates and mak* ing almost, impassable barriers to- getting in and out. Mr. Anderson, also thought the work was not sat­ isfactory, .. • . The . AVarden pointed .out " that municipalities which did not want the plow to operate equid petition against it and it would not be used. The AVarden also .expressed satisfac­ tion that the Good Roads Commis­ sion had kept witiiin the 2-mill levy. Ex-AVarden Inglis and Messrs. Rader, AV. J. Thompson, Henderson and Dodds spoke on the difficulty o£ the A\reed Act, The matter of auditors was next taken up and Messrs McKibbon and. Higgins moved to appoint ’chartered, accountants as auditors for 1930. This was defeated by 19 to 6, apd motions appointing ‘Mr. Cameron and Erwin as auditors, were carried, Mr. C. A. Robertson, M.L.A., was present and being invited to address the council, congratulated the AVar-* den and members on their election. __ _ i, He said the Old Age Pension Act grant on ’ would no doubt come in for amend- ‘ meats and now was the time for the-, county council to makp its wishes, known. He thought the ■ council should study legislatio and put their conclusions in the form of a resolu­ tion. The cost of education had in­ creased rapidly and all grants de­ pended oil the expenditures. If the' county had to increase its expendi­ tures in order to get increased grants there was scarcely a limit to the ex­ tent you might go. < Mr. Haase, Provincial Engineer,.^ and Mr. Edwin, an ex-PrOvincial enV gineer were both .present' and botR addressed the council.

The clerk reported that he had written for information as to the status of members of county coun­ cils accepting positions on the Pen­ sion Board in view of an article in The (Municipal AVorld and was as­ sured tlmt members of county coun­ cils could not be considered., as be­ coming officials of the county by being appointed on ^uch boards and the chief of the administration of. the Act stated any actions brought to prevent members of Pensions Boards taking .their seats at county councils would be defended by them, A convention for managers of County Homes was announced for Simcoe this year and was laid on the table, The program of the Ontario Trus­ tees’ and Ratepayers' convention in Toronto April 22nd, 23rd and 24th with an invitation to attend was fil­ ed. The Salvation Army made a re­ quest for a grant to their AVomen’s Rescue and Children's Homes in London and gave the information that of 700 girls and 650 babies passing through these" homes in 1929 in Canada east, 85 girls and 88 babies, an increase on the previous year, had been attended to at tho London home and 45 children. Police Magistrate’s Report County Police Magistrate Reid re­ ported that he had heard and dis­ posed of 475 cases during 1929 un­ der the different laws of the pro­ vince and Dominion as follows: 'Un­ der the Criminal Code, 109; under the Highways Traffic Act, 221; un­ der the Liquor Control Act, 102; and under other laws,* such as by­ laws of municipalities, 43. MT. Reid commented, ‘‘.I may men­ tion that tho Juvenile Court handl­ ed 60 cases, consisting of all man­ ner of of fences, such as , breaking and entering dwellings, stealing bic­ ycles and petty thieving. AVe have, had fairly good success. Out of the GO who appeared before the” Juven­ ile Court only one repeated. A good measure of this success is attributed to probation officers •> stationed in different parts of the county who are acting for the court jn visiting de­ linquents and having them report at least once a month. In this way we can keep in touch with them and a kind word and one of encourage­ ment goes a long way in keeping the boy oi’ girl out of mischief. The balance of the time of 'tlie court is taken up with hearing quar­ rels between husband and wife and 1 between neighbors and a thousand other petty quarrels between friends which never come to a hearing in Police Gourt and should never if it can possibly be avoided. This’ is the stand I have taken. This .branch of the magistrate’s ,work is steadily growing from year to year and if it continues at the present rate a do-*' mestic relations court will have to be established to take care of this most important branch of the work. Of the 475 cases heard and dis­ posed of last year, I levied and col­ lected in fine and costs $9,506.4$ and this was disposed as follows; Paid Provincial treasurer, $1,114.- 75; treasurer County of Huron, $3,- 071; District Inspector, KitchObe?, $2,190; Registrar General $360; treasurer Town of Goderich $380; treasurer, Seaforth ,$70.00 ; treasur­ er AAHugliam, $195; treasurer Clin­ ton $210; .(treasurer Hensail $110; treasurer Zurich $10; treasurer of Grey $10; treasurer* ‘Stephen $25; constable’s costs $209.18; witness fees $84.22; to other persons $467.- 83. Just by way of comparison in the year- 1918 there was levied and ol- lected in the police court of the 'county $74. At this time there were two judges in the .county and prac­ tically all criminal cases were sent up for trial. As I stated before • there were 109 criminal cases dis- ■ posed of in police court and two J out of this 109 were committeed to stand trial at a higher court, thus relieving the county of a large ex­ penditure in juries and other court attendants Jailer Reynolds report­ ed 122 prisoners committed in 1,- 929 as follows: theft, 14; intoxicat­ ed 21; assault , 9; intoxicated with car, 8;-having liquor illegally, 6; vagrant, 6; fraud, 5; selling liquor* 4; insane, 3;-carnal knowledge, 3; non-payment of order, 3; false pre­ tenses, 3; peddling witli-out license* 2; speeding with car, 2; breaking and entering, 1; non support, 1; ar­ son, 1; hptel act, 1; Inland Revenue Act, 1; receiving stolen goods, 1. Cost of daily rations per prisoner 12 %c. The following motions were pass­ ed: By Robt. Higgins and John Mid­ dleton that J. AValton McKibbon and County Clerk Holman be the Board ol' Annual Audit for 1930.—Carried By Lewis TL Rader and Robert Higgins that this council sincerely regret the death of Mr. J, A, Man* son, a former member of this coun­ cil and that tho clerk send a letter of condolence to the family, Carried By .L AV. McKibbon and W. J. Henderson that, wo appreciate the sincere address of our warden which we feel, when carried out* will work v.ery greatly to'the Improvement of our county affairs. By J. VV. McKibbon and R. Hig* gins that the striking committee be Nelson Trewartha, AVm, Mole* John ■ Middleton, fsaac AVrlght ahd j, W. Beattie, to ‘name the standing com-* mlttees of the council for 19,30 and meet them hud pm, th ■ county in had shape in its general account. The county's present liability was $115,000 for Provincial Highway account; $105,000 for county roads and $5,000 on current account. $90 000 of a subsidy was to be expected from the Province on County High­ way account which would still leave a debt on this account of $15,000. The new AVarden said he would like to appoint a committee to devise ways and means of putting the fin­ ances of the county on a better foot­ ing. Another suggestion he had was that provision he made either for having inmates of the county Home who died taken to the cemeteries where their relatives were or. pro­ viding a plot adjacent to some oth­ er cemetery for their burial instead of having them interred in a plot.at the farm. The people in the Home were the pioneers of the country and nothing was too good for them. AVarden Baeker concluded by con­ gratulating the members of the coun­ cil on their election, and was loud­ ly applauded as he resumed his .seat. • Among- tho correspondence laid before the council were the follow­ ing: A communication from the Lon­ don Chamber of Commerce announc­ ing the annual meeting of the AVest- ern Ontario Boards of Trade, June 14th and 15th and inviting repre­ sentation. Filed, An appeal from tire Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, for a grant.

A request from the Institute for the Blind for a grant—Sent to ex­ ecutive committee. The clerk re­ ported having asked for information ns to the number from.this county who had been dealt with by the In­ stitue ’for the Blind and that he re­ ceived the information that there were 23 cases. From the Minister of Education in reply to the petition of the Huron County Council asking that Gode­ rich and AA’ingham participate in the special grant the same as schools in smaller municipalities; stating that this would have consideration when the matter of grants came up. Filed. ■ A resolution from the county council of Hastings asking for an amendment to the statutes so that the whole cost of moving poles for power lines be placed 'on the com- panka iustend of divided between the company and the municipality. The resolution- mentioned that the primary purpose of roads was for travel and not for power transmis­ sion 'lines, so that if traffic necessi­ tated the widening of roads the power company should bear tho cost. Sent to Legislation committee, Applications for the position: of auditor for the present year were received from John Cameron, Ash­ field; A, E, Erwin, Bayfield and A. I’ortevfield, of East AVawanosh.— Laid on the table. 7k request, was. received from the public school inspectors for a dup­ licator, which would be of much use in preparing copies of circulars zto send to the various schools. The resignation of Mr. Thomas Gundry as High Constable was re­ ceived, the same to take effect when approved by the county council. Last December, the Question of having tho audit made by Prdvinckil Municipal Auditors was raised and received the reply that such an au­ dit would be at the expense of the municipality. 'The auditors -charg­ ed $8.00 a 7-hour day, together with their railway and* hotel expenses. The letter advised against audits ex­ tending-- back more than .five years, as,audits over a lengthy period were were of little value. Recorde were often not in good condition and of­ ficers when appealed to were unable to remember the circumstances. If competent auditors were appointed from year to year the° necessity for a special audit disappeared. In the case of a township, in Huron County in which a special audit was- held extending back to 1917 the cost amounted to $2,589,60. Revive McKibben of. AVingham pointed out that what was suggest’* ed at tlie December meeting was not tho making of a special audit but tlie appointment of fully qualified audi­ tors in place of local men for’ the regular yearly audit.
