HIBBERT PLANS $13,000 RELIEF EXPENDITURES One-Third of Township’s Families Affected—Grading Projects* Post­ poned, Hibbert Township in 1934 will spend $1)3,000 on a federal-provin­ cial-municipal relief program, de­ signed to make possible the collect­ ion of nearly $10,000- in overdue tax­ es, eliminate direct relief, solve a serious transportation problem, over­ come a shortage of gravel in one section, and supply needed employ­ ment. Reeve Joseph Nagle stated “The council has hesitated to seize the property of hard-pressed farmers, who through no fault of their own, are in arrears in payment of taxes. Preference in the allotment of works is to be given those now on relief, to those who have been unable to pay'lheir taxes, or who have had to borrow money to do so. The amount owing the township for taxes wilf be deducted from ther pay cheques.” The reeve said 200 out of 600 families in Hibbert will be directly affected and believes the increased circulation of money would bring a measure of relief to everybody. The cutting down or “Cromarty Mountain,” a project sponsored by the Perth County Council, will cost Hibbert residents 10c. each. Reeve Nagle stated. Gravel estimated at a value of $4,-000 when delivered to the southeastern part of the town­ ship will be obtained from the township and governmental enter­ prises of cutting down the “Staffa Hill,” at a net cost of $3,200. Both hills are regarded as dangerous. CHISELHURST Mrs. George Chambers had the misfortune to fall on the ice break­ ing her leg in two places.
