Present System Stands A lively debate was launched when the committee recommended that the motion “that the County Council of Huron retain the present alternate system of political affiliations in the selection of a warden but in the fut­ ure the whole council have a vote in the selection of the head official.” Reeve W. R. Archibald Avho was in the chair, said: "This is an impor­ tant question. Conditions were dif­ ferent this year.” Finally on motion of Reeves Bowman and.
