nnnn 0UUrC M I HolUlOS, CrOWU At-
atteinoon. In his address, Warden' „onn,niY,onr1?nW n T.iwm
R. J. Bowman reported that despite
considerable increase in uncontroll
able expenses, the county, had been
able to stay within its estimates.
Increase in number receiving (the
Mother’s Allowances and Old Age
Pensions was the cause of the addi
tional .outlay, He congratulated
the chairman of the Property Com-
irt^“^*’'calling only one meeting
and for low expenditures; and the
County Home Committee for the
results achieved. .Some necessary
impiovements had been made but
against this a very considerable re
turn had been received from estates
and .from the Old Age Pensions,
leaving the financial situation of the
■County Home a most creditable one.
He considered the criticism of the
County Road Committee’s purchase
of a new snowplow very unfair.
Extends Invitation
The Warden closed his address by
extending an invitation, to the mem
bers of the Council to be his guests
at a banquet at Hotel
6.30 p.m. Thursday.
Dr. H. A. S. Vokes,
non, invited to speak,
the County Council to
ency steps to rid Huron County of
the cause of undulent fever. He
told of a very distressing case in. the
hospital, which had been diagnosed
as undulent fever resulting in in
sanity and of the increasing menace’
He said that an accreditted
of cattle was accredited only
case of tuberculosis and not
for Brucella Abortus, and
that rigid steps be taken to rid the
dairy herds of the county of the
disease.
Huron County Council could make
itself famous in medical history, Dr.
Vokes asserted, if it took immediate
and stringent steps to eradicate the
cause.

<. Huron County added its name on

R. J. Deacliman, M.P., for North

the act, validity of which was now
befoie the Privy Council, was held
ultra vires, it would immediately be
repealed, but that settlements al

The act failed to find a support

From (Sheriff Robert Johnston
enclosing the report of the Grand
Ian
sentative, advised the members
Huron. County Council to “go slow
ly” in. answer to the enquiry on the
proposal before them to sponsor a
test of all dairy cows in the county,
to eradicate buicella abortus, the
cause of undulent fever in human
beings, said by medical men to. exist
in this district.. Mr. MacLeod, tho'
in sympathy with the movement, ex
pressed the opinion that such a test
■would mean the destruction of many
beasts for which no provision had
been made for compensation to the
owners.
“If Canada would spend one-fifth
what it is spending on the house re
pair plan, the money would soon rid
the country of diseased cattle.” de
clared Reeve Eckert.
Mr. McLeod doubted the possibil
ity of the disease being entirely era
dicated because new cases are con
stantly being developed. Township
boards of health and councils have
been approached with a request to
conduct tests of dairy herds, but so
far nothing has been done.
Deputy Minister Addresses Council
H. |L. Cummings, deputy minister
of municipal affairs, .addressed
council for nearly three hours at
the afternoon session. In an infor
mal and highly informative manner
he discussed municipal government
■financing and auditing.

of the department with the muni

former to have all the facts before

Thursday
After a lively discussion, Huron
County Council defeated a resolution
asking that the Old Age ]
Commission make monthly
tion'S from pensioners’ cheques
establjsh a burial fund.
Reeve McNall of Blytli, who
troduced the discussion, under
quiries, cited a ease where an inmate
of the County Home had become an
Old Age pensioner and his relatives
suddenly displayed an affection for
him and had him removed from the
institution to their home. “When he
was not an asset to the county, no
one wanted him, but when he be
came one, his relatives showed a
sudden desire to- have him and the
.head of the municipality was not
consulted. Is this allowable?”
Warden Bowman explained
before an inmate is released

post a bond if $200 which is
found worthless.

“Municipal auditing is as a rule,

“There are not 50 per cent, of them
that are real audits in that they
fail to show a picture in words and
figures of the money being ac
counted for. Of the 950 municipali
ties in the province only 100 have a
proper audit An audit is for the
ratepayers,4 not for, but of the

good audit it is not necessary to
employ the highest paid man. It is
a question of getting a man who
understands accounting.” Mr. Cum
ming urged the council to think
twice when appointing auditors and
see that they are fully qualified.
“If buy doubt is in the minds of the
people give them an audit.”
Mr. Cumming gave some timely
advice on the collection Of taxes.
Reeve Cardiff asked if it would
be good business to employ a county
auditor who had offered to audit
various municipalities’ books at a
special price. Mr. Cumming answ
ered that it would because he would
have an expert knowledge and would
dovetail it with his county audit.
