said Mr. Morrissey. He outlined
some of the work accomplished
in road and bridge building
throughout the county, and stat
ed that a portion of the road south
of Dashwood was ip the plans,
fpr paving next year.
In referring to the Huron Coun
ty Home he stated that there;
were 92 persons in residence; 23
had been added during the year,
15 had died, seven discharged
and four removed to the Ontario
Hospital. %
County Big Business
Deputy - Reeve Gordon Ratz
stated that ..there had been good
co-pperation in the council. He
had enjoyed .the work at County
Council and stated that epunty
work was big business. “Stephen
Township has the second largest
assessment of the townships in
the county and in spite ,of the
raise in the.mill rate for county
purposes apd for school purposes
the township rate had remained-
at seven mills,
“The work of our agricultural
representative and his assistants
in-organizing and .promoting the
many 4-H clubs, combined with
other duties is growing to such
an extent that consideration is
being given to securing a third
man,” said Mr. Ratz.
“We are fortunate in Stephen
in not having too many noxious
weeds, but new weeds .are creep
ing in and precaution should be
taken against them,” said, Mr.
Ratz.-
Councillors Report
Councillor Gill referred to the
road work in the township, stat
ing that they had beep hampered
by bad weather and had done the
best they could. The roads were
referred to as being the equal or
bettpr than the rpads in most
townships, -1
. “The council has tried to give
good legislation” said Mr. Lam
port “but we may not be able to
hold the tax rate at seven mills
as some attention must be given
to our power machinery, which it
would seem good business to re
place.”
A grant of $20,183 from the
•Federal Government in connec
tion with the airport .was for 1955
and 1956, and was divided be
tween the township and county,
said Mr. Lamport. '
He regretted having placed the
representative to the South Hu
ron District High School in an
unenviable position by not
proving the request for an ,T„
crease in the amount needed to
build the new addition.
‘Stephen roads are about the
best in the county in spite of the
increased traffic going over
them,” said Councillor Webb.
“If they ever get the Morrison
dam, in Usborne Township ironed
out it should be a .good thing for
the .entire community as there
will be a greater demand for
farm products and increased em
ployment,” said Mr. Webb, who
is a.member of the Ausahle Au
thority. VThere are now 510 farm
ponds in the Authority, approxi
mately 100 of them in Stephen
Township,” he,said.
Others who spoke were Roy
Mason for the school area; Ed
ward Chambers, now county rep
resentative on the S.H.D.H.S. and
Wilmer Wein, secretary for the
school area board.

Both Reeve Dalton and Mr.
Chapman expressed satisfaction
with the recent settlement of the
boundary dispute with Stephen
Township in which the municipal
board awarded the Paterson farm
and other properties on the south
east corner to Grand Bend,
Reeve Dalton said council was
prepared to make a concession
to Stephen by offering the town
ship part of the area. When
Stephen refused the compromise,
Grand Bend fought for all of the
property and won the decision.
The reeve said he received full
co-operation in the settlement
fight from the’ County of Lamb
ton which paid legal expenses.
Councillor Chapman said he be
lieved the ratepayers involved
will find it advantageous to be in
Grand Bend.
Police Costs Lower
Reporting on police costs,
Reeve Dalton revealed that the
net cost of protection this year
was less than in 1955, despite the
fact that more men were sta
tioned there on weekends. The
gross cost was $9,580 in 1956,
compared to $8,229 in 1955, but
receipts from' fines .jumped from
$1,752 to $3,267.
Councillor Clarence Green,
chairman of the police commit
tee, said council had set out this
year to cut out the rowdyism and
year. Expenditures included pur
chase of eight new lights, four of
the mercury-vapor type, and
three transformers.
Enrolment Fluctuates
Public School Board Chairman
W. F. B. MacLaren reported that
a fluctuating enrolment, caused
by the army camp at Ipperwash,
^placed the, board in an awkward
position to provide proper accom
modation. He hoped to learn soon'
from the Department of National
Defence as to what the policy for
Ipperwash would be in the future.
Tliere was, he said, the .possibil
ity that a grant would be made
to,' compensate the board for its
accomodation of children of army
personnel.
The teaching staff, Mr. Mac
Laren said, has been very satis
factory.
Trustee Wally Desjardine in
dicated the board may have to
build an addition in the near
future.
Clerk Herbert Wainwright was
chairman of the meeting.
