Mr. Editor;—
With deepest regret the thought
ful people of Stephen Township
read of the resignation of Henry
Eilber, our senior municipal officei'
in point of service and years. Dur
ing a long and busy, public career,
Henry Eilber has always remained a
resident of his native village, Cred
iton. 'Beginning at the bottom of
the ladder of life he has,by patience,
courage, strict integrity and great
natural ability filled every public
position within the gift of the people
of Stephen Township and Huron
County. This municipality has had
the continual benefit of hie legal
mind for over half a century, which
service cannot be computed in mon
etary terms. Mr. Eilber has long
been an outstanding authority on
municipal law, and his advice has
always been available, his council
always given in his pleasant gra
tuitous manner. During his twenty-
one years a.s a member of Parlia
ment for South Huron (Mr. Eilber
was always the pleasant, alert, cap
able, public servant being available
always to all people, whether Con
servative or Liberal.
Hie ability as' member was con
stantly recognized and appreciated
at Queen’s Park. As chairman of the
Private Bills’ Committee, Agricul
tural and Educational Committee on
many occasions besides special work
on municipal law, he was recognized
continually for his outstanding abil
ity.
He was a personal friend of .Sir

their best wishes that he may re

that the blessing of good health
may be his in abundant measure
