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. a.P’ in- Town Faces Vital Year —•Continued from Page 3 to the Exeter post in 1955. Councillors who will return to their chairs include Ralph Bail’ ey, a member since 1952; Ross Taylor, a two-year man; Alvin Pym, Glenn Fisher and Bill Musser ,who are just completing their first term. Moved To Town This Spring New councillor, Murray Greene moved to Exeter in April to open his variety business in the former George Wright building which he renovated extensively. He came here from Palmerston/ where he managed a similar store for five years. He was a member of the Palmerston Board of Trade and its planning board. A veteran of World War II, he served with the Royal Ham­ ilton. Light Infantry in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. He is a member of the local Legion branch. I Over Police, GB To Tackle Harbour nate that ne serious fire has started. 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. 27" Admiral '57 Table Model TV 239.95 TOYS!
