Picnic committee. the sanction of Warden’s com- Mogridge and caused considerable discussion, Some 1 curred on account of the severe win ter. Considering also that sixty-six miles of new roads have been added it is expected that little of a perma nent nature can be accomplished and that maintenance work will need to be restricted. It was found necessary to replace an old power grader, and a new one was secured from th© Dominion Rd. Machinery Company, Goderich, The motorcycle of the traffic of ficer was exchanged for a new one. Two claims for damages were set tled by the commission: on© of Mr. George Lane for $250 and another of Walter Woods for $85. One dam age claim was defended in court, and the claim was disallowed. In regard to requests for addi tions and changes to the County Rr. ■System, in view of the finances of the County, we recommend that con sideration of these matters be left until next year. Regarding request of delegation from Bluevale, your Commission will look over the situation and make such improvements as ar© immed iately required. Moved by Pryde and Sweitzer that the Dashwood Road be assumed be provincial highway. We recommend that this application be made, and the Department b© al so reminded of the wish of the coun ty to have the Amberley-Listowel Road and the Wingham-Harriston assumed, too. iSin.ce the Department of Highways is now willing to maintain the con necting links on the provincial high ways, we recommend that Bylaw No. 6, 1927, be repealed, and that Bylaw No. 12, 1925, be amended by taking off Road No. 2 of the schedule from the County Road System. opposing the grant mentioned that $1.75 is paid to hospitals for indig ent patients. iSpeaking in support of the grant, Reeve Pryde, chairman of the Executive committee, said; "We recognize it as a public institution. It is well-known that hospitalization amounts to more than $1.75 a day. It is a valuable institution.” He would also favor a grant of the Chil dren’s Memorial Hospital in London. Dep,-Reeve Turner, Goderich, also expressed approval of giving the grant. “I don’t like to oppose a grant to an institution of this kind. It is a grand thing we have it. What would we do without such hospitals?” An amendment “that the request be laid over till January and the clerk get information of w.hat other counties do” introduced by Reeves Bowman and Cardiff was .carried on the following division; Yeas—.Archibald, Bowman, Bry ans, Cardiff, Davidson, Elliott, Eck ert, Feagan, Hemingway, Keyes, Lo vell, Mawhinney, Mellick, Mogridge, Moser, McNall, Sherwood, W.

Cano;n Appleyard, of Seaforth, who represents the County on the Senate of the University of Western Ontario which the day previous had granted degrees to 240 graduates, also spoke ‘ " _-l: “It- is school which 'School Canon Appleyard urged the efficiency of a should be looked into by Boards rather than the financial.” ■He described the benefits which could be derived from the establish ment of intermediate schools. Clause Deleted set follows: county account This is the same as last year. Thursday The Huron county rate was at 5J mills, made up as Provincial highways, .95; highways, 1.20; general 3.35. The .morning session of Huron County Council was .given over to the hearing of the reports of the Legis lative and Warden’s Committees, each of which were taken up clause by clause with Reeves Davidson and Geiger in the chair, respectively. TWi decommendation of a grant of $Co to the Hospital for .Sick Chil dren by the Executive Committee 4 k r The clause recommending the Lucknow Library Board be given a ■grant of $15 was deleted on motion of Reeves Haacke an'd Cardiff. Another lengthy discussion was launched during the consideration in open council of the request of the East Huron Women’s Institute for a grant of $100. Many members were under the impression, that the $75 voted at the January session was for the Women’s Institute of the county, not for the West Huron district alone Council endorsed the motion of Reeves Cardiff and' Pryde that the clerk inform East Huron Women’s Institute that all requests for grants must be in the hands of the clerk to be presented at tl^ December ses sion. The village of Blyth’s request that an inmate of the County Home be returned, Reeve McNall said the man had come to Blyth one and a half months ago—just walked out of the .home, and had been committed from the town of Goderich. ' Mr. McNall charged that Goderich was lax in its duties when they did not see that the young man was re turned. Reeve Turner of Goderich took the view that the town was not, that it was up to the keeper of the institution tO' look after its own in mates, as he is the only one of four who have escaped according to- the report of Inspector Govenlock. The case was.finally disposed of by mo tion of Reeves Elliott and R. Turner that the young man aged 27, be left in the hands of .Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Gov enlock to see that he is .returned. Others taking part in the discussion were Reeves Moser, Geiger, Elliott, Cardiff, Eckert, and Archibald. A grant of $i50 to the Rural Trus tees’ and Ratepayers’ Association of Huron was authorized, the organ ization to report their activities at December session of county council. Endorse Resolution < Rebate to Seaforth “Your commission .has considered the rebate situation in the ton off (Seaforth and we recommend that of the $6,471.88 grant received by the county from the province on account of paving Main iStreet Seaforth, in 19'2'7, that the town be credited with $4,016.91, which will balance account at the end of 1935. erf 44S14 ly re >■ What Will You Do With ' JpIOc FWHY PAY MORE Best of all fly killers.
