Two policies were recommended by
the committee, a short and a long

S. L. Charlton, provincial inspector
of County Homes, expressed regret in
the death of John Jacobs, inspector of
Huron County Homes, which has
since been under the supervision of
Mrs. Jacobs. I know Mrs. Jacobs is

take to displace her at present, he
said.

or, reported that all townships had
been inspected, excepting four on ac
count of the weather. He said that

Reeve J. H. Scott launched the dis
cussion by introducing a motion, sec
onded by Reeve N. Dorrance, of Mc
Killop, that the Council adopt the
Equalization Report of Mogg and
Quinlan and proceed at once to pre
pare the necessary by-law, bringing
into effect the assessment valuations
contained in the report at the earliest
possible date.
Immediately after Reeve N. W.
Trewartha, of Clinton, moved an am
endment, which was seconded by De
puty-reeve E. D, Brown of Goderich,
that the report of the County valuat
ors be not dealt with at the present
time and that it be tabled until after
the Legislative Assembly meets next
Spring, as new legislation will then
be brought down dealing with county
assessments and that until such time
the old equalization be adopted.
Reeve Hetherington thought the re
port was premature in view of the
proposed legislation and there would
be no harm done in leaving the mat
ter over. ' He would not scrap the re
port.
Council voted on the amendment
which was lost on the following di
vision:
Yeas — Armstrong, Brown, Heth
erington, Haacke, Kerr, Lamport, Ma-
