Huron County Council
That this County council invite
the other County councils of Ontario
to unite in requesting the Imperial
parliament of Great Britain to amend
the British North America Act so
as to abolish the Provincial legisla
ture throughout the Dominion of
Canada on the grounds of economy
and as a relief to the taxpayers of
the 'country and have our public
business conducted as it is in the
Old Land and that a copy of this
motion be sent to all County coun
cils in Ontario, was the text of a
resolution carried unanimously at
the opening session of Huron County
county at Goderich on Tuesday after
noon. The motion was presented .by
Reeves Scott and Keys.
Warden Sweitzer, opening the
session, remarked on the beauty of
the county and the promising appear
ance of the crops. “These things
should put the members of the coun
cil in a good mood and should serve
to promote co-operation,” he said.
Outlining the business of the ses
sions, Mr. Sweitzer paid particular
attention to the fact that the govern
ment nad refused its contribution to
the Children’s Shelter inspector’s
salary by $500. At a meeting of the
committee he had suggested that the
county should make up the deficit
until the status of the society was
raised to warrant an increased gov
ernment grant. Speaking of the
rate, the warden stated that it would
be up to the council to decide wheth
er or not it would pay the entire
1934 highway hill or half <of it.
The following communications
were read by the county clerk:
A letter from the County of Lin
coln enclosing a resolution regard
ing banking interests—Referred to
finance committee.

Weary Housewives Should Fight
Against Physical Exhaustion
Housework becomes a drudgery when the sense
of duty has to light against depression of spirits
and physical exhaustion.
The overworked housewife becomes nervous, run
down and tired out, and the simple* household
duties seem like a mountain staring her in the face,
This condition often results in complete disability
unless remedial treatment is adopted.

the county council urging that the

R. J. Rowman asked if the clerk
could report the number of applica
tions for old age pensions for the
term from Jan. 1 to May 31, and the
following report was read:

and forwarded, 44; cancellations, 2;
deaths reported, 32; increases in
pensions, granted, 12; pensions
granted, 60; applications refused, 6;
municipal transfer to outside mun
icipalities, 4; municipal transfers to
Huron muncipalities, 17. Applica
tions still pending, not dealt with 17,
Cost of pensions for the period, $6,-
243.93 being an increase of $910.00,
ovei’ the same period last year. The
fact that more pensions were
granted than were forwarded in this
period is because of the carry-over
of applications from 1934 that were
net dealt with.
The report of the Children’s Shel
ter Committee was read. It. stated
that in the spring the committee had
advertised for homes for children,
and homes had been found for eight
wards, thus reducing the number in
the Shelter to eight.
Acting upon the recommendation
of the Grand Jury,, the committee
have had fire extinguishers installed
in the Shelter and have also pur
chased a new electric washing ma
chine.
The committee recommended that
the superintendent be reimbursed at
the rate of $500 per year for the re
duction in his salary due to the islow
rating accorded the Children’s Shel
ter here; that new flooring be laid
in the kitchen of the Shelter. The re
port also pays tribute to the matron,
Mrs. Oliver, for her untiring work at
the Shelter. The report was tabled
for discussion later,

Wednesday
The question of whether township
clerks should receive remuneration
for their work in completing Old
Age Pension applications brought
about some heated discussion at the
afternoon session of County council
Isaac Gamble township clerk of Ho
wick, addressed the council on this
matter and stated that if the county
wanted this, work done thoroughly
and conscientiously it would have
to give adequate remuneration. Un
der the new system each application
must be dealt with immediately and
home conditions must be invesigat-
ed thoroughly which means a great
deal of time and mileage foi' the
clerks. Under 'the old system of
having an Old Age Pensions Com
mission composed of members ot
the county council a number of ap
plications could be dealt with at one
time.
Reeve Bowman stated that under
the old commission the cost was from
$400 to $600 a year while the new
system was costing twice that amount
A motion had been sent to the fi
nance committee in the morning ses
sion recommending that township
clerks be paid $1 per application but
Mr. Gamble claimed that this was not
sufficient.
Reeve Bowman was of the opin
ion that the council could not hold
up the government on the question.
The department has stated that if
the township clerks refuse to do the
work no applications from those
municipalities will be considered. A
number of councillors contended that
the government hired these men to
do the work and they should pay
them,
Cheaper to Deport
One communication was the ac
count of Hay Township for the cost
of transporting an indigent .family
to Glasgow, Scotland. Tho bill was
$405.73. H. T. Edwards, explained
the case stating that it was far cheap
er to deport them tlian to pay for
medical treatment which was inevit
able owing to their condition,
Mr. Edwards then presented the
Children’s -Shelter report, most of
which was given in the shelter com
mission’s report. He told the coun
cil that nine children have been
adopted and eight are still in the
Shelter. Miss Huron, (Lois Camp*
boll, Huron County’s infant ward) is
progressing well, according to the
superintendent. She now weighs 16
pounds as compared with six pounds
when sho became tho ward some
months ago,
The Dept, of Public Welfare re
plying to a resolution of the county
Council urging that the period of
appeal in the regulations of the Old
Age Pensions Act be extended to 30
days, stated that an appeal against
a decision of the commission may be
made at any time and if it is found
that the regular meetings of the
township councils do not permit them
to pass on the applications within
the twenty-day period, the commis
sion will thoroughly investigate any
appeal coming before them after the
expiry of the period set forth in the
regulation. Fyled.
A reply was read from the Dept,
of Healht regarding a resolution of
the county council which requested
the government to isafeguard the
count}7 against accounts of indigent
patients in county hospitals, whose
cases were not property made known
to the clerk of the municipality
from which the patient came and to
the county clerk. It stated that the
matter would receive the earnest
consideration .of Dr. J. A. Faulkner,
minister of health.
The Ontario Dept, of Education
replying to a resolution of the coun
ty council regarding the expense ac
counts of Public School Inspectors
Dr. J, M. Field and E. C. Beacom
informed the council that the period
during which the accounts had re
ference was for the school year .Sept.
1929 to June 1930, and the expense
given in the accounts were all in
curred during that period. The de
partment of education did not take
over the public school inspectors un
til July 1st, '1930. 'Consequently,
the Dept, of Education will be unable
to make payment of the accounts as
requested by the resolution of the
council. Referred to the education
committee.
Replying to a resolution by Huron
ciouhty council with regard tn grain
brought into the province of Ontario
the .department of agriculture states
that they have drafted an amendment
to the Weed Act to cover the matter.
Fyled.
A list of libraries requesting coun
ty grants was read and referred to
the executive committee.
A letter from the township clerk
of Howick regarding the remunera
tion of township clerks for work in
curred by Old Age Pensions, states
the services rendered by clerks Is
fully equal to that of the Old Age
Pensions Committee of former times
and asks that the matter be given
serious attention.
A letter from the Dept of Public
Welfare requested payment of $1,-
273.22 being 10 pel' cent, of the pen
sions paid by the treasurer of On
tario to the pensioners resident in
Huron county for the month of April

A letter from Haldimand county

ter of health on tuberculosis cases

vincial responsibility the entire care
and treatment of such cases, was re
ferred to the legislative committee.

closing a resolution that the provin
cial government be petitioned to
move forward the date for half li
cense fees to July 15 was left with

In explaining the E grading given
the Shelter here by the Public ’Wel-
fare Department, Mr. Edwards stat
ed that the grading is based more on
preventative wok than <on the con
dition of he Shelter itself. The
gradings and corresponding salaries
of superintendents, given by the de
partment are A $2,000 (impossible,
according to Mr. Edwards) B, $1,500
C. $1000, D. $500, E, $100. The re
port of the 'Children’s Shelter Com
mission read yesterday, was taken
up clause by clause.
Reeve J. M. Eckert was of the op
inion that it was a question of
whether the grant system is paying
or not. Ho felt that Mr. Edwards
should be paid a straight salary by
the county. Deputy-Reeve Turner
referring to the report said that
more attention should be paid to the
younger generation and their needs.
He believed that the Shelter here
will get a higher rating in the future
There is no. use antagonizing the de
partment, said Mr. Turner, we. must
give co-operation,
Appointment Disapppvoved
A lengthy discussion followed the
discovery that the council’s appoint
ment yesterday of a Seaforth man to
the Mothers’ Allowance Board had
been disapproved. Tho act bearing
on this matter states that there shall
bo two women >on the board and only
one woman would have been appoint
ed if this appointment was allowed.
It was decided that A. T. Cooper,
of Clinton, a member of the Mothers’
Allowance Board should come before
the council today to discuss the mat
ter more fully.
The report of the county treasurer
Harvey Erskine, was read to allow
the striking of the mill rate. It
showed receipts of $43,027.81 and
expenditures of $41,'618.12;. county
highways receipts 'were $79,66'5.34
and expenditures, $80,929.49. There
are now no Joans unpaid for 1934.
The report was adapted.
Estimated expenditures in the .gen
eral account for 11935 are $156,500,
less $15,031. in estimated receipts. The amount to- be raised by mill rate
is $141,469. A rate of 3.2 mills on
an assessment of $44,271,175 will
raise $141,667, leaving an estimated
surplus of $19 8.
