The contention arose when Mr, Haat, Watson's lawyer, Ichallenged a statement by OPP !Constable Bell who was in charge of the radar when Wat- son was clocked at going 45 in 30 mile speed limit at Hensall. 'Constable Bell had been asked !by Magistrate Hays if he had any knowledge as to whether -he was in the village of Hen - sail or not. Constable Bell replied, "I was within thethirty mile li- mit, your worship." i "Your reason for saying so?" "By the signs." Mr, Hart disputed this by stating that the speed limit was thirty miles per hour in vil- lages but that since the offi- cer had failed to clarify whe- ther he was in Hensall or not the charge was invalid, Magistrate Hays agreed with ;Mr. • Hart in •'that " conclusive 'evidence had not been provided and so he dismissed the case. However, in two subsequent eases of the sante nature, •Con- tistable Bell stated that he was within; the boundaries of Hen- sall end both Rodrick alacDon- ald, Ripley,,, and Marilyn Scott, Exeter, were found guilty of speeding and were both fined $10 and costs of $1.50.

Berry said, The decreasing revenue, he said, has resulted from fewer adeptioils from ether parts of the province, which formerly accounted for $1.7,000 or $18,000 in revenue. In 1961, however, there have been very few of these :children available, and few parents wanting to adopt children. The society has also found it necessary to take more children into. its care during the past year, a factor that has caused the costs to increase. The salaries of staff members "over to be adjusted and dbudget," th o above a prose P rAr,rY BC r S_.. Report optimistic The rest of Mr, Berry's June ' was optimistic. reportThe fin- ances of the county, he report- ed, are in satisfactory circum- stances; the county home build- ing account is on a sound basis, and. "unless some unforeseen circumstances arise, we :should complete this project well with- in our budget," The financial picture as a whole, as of March 31, 1961, shows a surplus of $2„836,58.
