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.

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. “For approximately ninety years we have had a general system of .government when each municipality ' iL ----l system. One Weak ness ’wEts^t.hat ^mistakes W&re made because there w'trs Ui.eW»Lere to go for advice. The whole function of the department of municipal affairs in this province is to be of service and assist in making improve ments. Our first and last move is the municipalities themselves. He stres sed the importance of contact of the department with the muni cipalities and the .necessity for the former to have all the facts before decisions can be made. ■LW its own 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 the' Home, those seeking him post a bond if $200 which is found worthless. Reeve McNall where a husband receiving an old daughter and child, the mothers’ al lowance in one home and a son was employed. Reeve Sweitzer explained it is the duty of every reeve to report where pensioners are receiving too- much money. Burial expenses came .un der discussion and several reeves expressed the opinion that residents who had been taxpayers of the coun ty for years and because of adverse circumstances at the time of the deaths there were funds for burial, it responsibility of the motion was lost on Reeve McNall ^informed council he had been fined $5.50 nig a rear light on his forwarded the money but the charges in the it ' uowed 50. “Constables making a commercial enterprise charges.” He thought badges should be issued, with the approval county council. o/.* aul Haynea Marty Barry Pete Kelly Dave Kerr Roy Wortera “Ace” Bailey Art Lesieur Frank Boucher Marty Burke Alex Levinsky of the above • label from a tin of “ BRAND” or “LILY WHITE” Corn Syrup.—Write on the back your name and address — plainly — and the words “Hockey Book” or the name of the picture you want (one book or picture for each label).

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 council. In other words an audit is the watchdog of the county. The accounting system must be effi cient and an accurate necessary to satisfy the taxpayer. If auditing is we’ve got to improve it. 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. Mr. Moore, also of the same de partment spoke briefly. On motion of Reeves Matheson and Archibald Suggest Re-organization Reeve Sweitzer said Provincial Constable McCoy had given him a list of acting constables.
