should be included in the health
plan was raised by Deputy Reeve
D. D, Mooney. As the town already
has a health system established, he
asked if it would be entitled to a
rebate of its share of the tax im-i
posed.
As no money has been spent
year on tile plan, the council
ried the recommendation of
health and hospital committee
no rebate be given. It was pointed
out in the debate on the subject 'that all municipalities would expect
similar treatment; and that to
maintain a fair distribution of the
services and harmony all municip
alities should cooperate,
Discuss Winghpin Grant
There was considerable discus
sion on the $25,000 grant author
ized at the June session to Wing
ham hospital when an inquiry was
made if any private individuals are
in receipt of revenue from any hos
pitals. Assurance was given by the
reeves of Goderich, Wingham, Sea
forth and Clinton, that this is not
the case. The hospitals are under
the direction of boards of govern
ors, appointed by local hospital as
sociations, It was argued that -any
hospitals showing a profit ought to
reduce the rates for the benefit of
the public.
All hospitals are filled to capacity
and more accommodation is needed
for the' area served by the Wing
ham hospital. According to the- re
port of the health and hospital
committee six protests had been
received from municipalities;
these were filed.
Indigent Rate Increased
The rate for indigent patients in
the Goderich hospital was increas
ed from $1,75 to $2,00. The council
concurred in the request from Vic
toria hospital, London, that the
council assume the cost of peni
cillin administered to selected coun
ty -cases as the need might -arise,
and authorized that a request be
sent to the Department of Healtn
fliat the drug be made available to
all citizens.
No action was taken on the peti
tion from a number of farmers ask
ing that a resolution be forwarded
to the Department of Game and
Fisheries asking that it declare a
closed season for ‘fox-hunting. This
step was recommended by the agri
cultural committee.

The warden stated that he would

regarding a roadway to the north
side of Goderich harbor:—
“Before consideration he given
to this project in connection with

Should the town or county

Fish Scarce in Lake

spoke of the scarcity of trout and
whitefish in Lake Huron. Fisher
men were finding it difficult to ob

that the Department of Game and
