County and at a recent meeting of the. Association of Rural Municipalities by the townships of ’Morris and "East Wawahosh. The resolution adopted at last Thursday's session _ of County Ocpnr.il called for a greater' ’equalization, of this methods of ’.collecting and distributing liib- wy funds*. The Morris-East Wawanosh ^rsolution pointed out ■ that ’'MTral municipalities were con­ tributing touch more money ac­ cordingly than the urban mum iciipalities because collections were mlade on an assessment tei-sis aand distributions were made on fl per capita basis. Therefore an urban centre with a population of 3,000 and a low assessment was assessed $1,400 for library purposes and would get twice as much in return as t he rirnl area with a population of 1,500 and a high assessment which kicked in $1,300 for library purposes. , The proposal adopted was to collect and distribute library funds either entirely on a pnr capita basis or entirely on an assessment basis. Derry Boyle, reeve of Exeter, was pleased to learn that under the new system, library services would cost Exeter about $1,600 as <opposed to the $3,000 Exeter people had been putting up in the past, Leroy Thiiei, reeve of Zurich reported that Zurich’s levy was five times as much as it had been previously and questioned whether the new system of collectiion and distri­ bution would again increase costs to his village. The men were told that the resolution would just redistrib­ ute available funds and even up library costs tyb the county by imposing >a greater responsi­ bility on rural subscribers who benefited as much as any other persons by an improved library system. - With regard to insurance coverage on libraries and con­ tents in the county of Huron, Puff Thompson explained that J the county hoped to p^rry thb insurance on '' the county used entirely for library purposes.' He said ibo county would insure .every thing at replacement value in order that the depreciation•' factor would be eliminated and thus a maximum Of funds would be realized for replacement of buildings, books, and furnishings should a loss occur. However, in the event that some mriniciipflllties should wish to handle insurance of their own buildings; ■ they are /asked to. advise the Board in writing and agree to pay all premiums and assume ah .responsibility in fhe event of loss. In all cases, insurance coverage on books and furnishings will remain the responsibility of the county, Some councillors were con­ cerned about librahies' incorpor­ ated into other buildings such as a community centre.
