THE HOSPITAL GRANT.
The promoters of the hospital and
those interested in its establishment --
who, it may be said right here. in-
clude Ir outside elude noun) I sr, P
rich were greatly surprised. not
to say shocked, when they learned aif
the ccnlnty- council's action to repudi-
ating the grant of $1,000 bade in 11102
in aid of the project. They have still
greater t•easlin to be emanated when,
they learn of the grounds upon which
the council's action was hawed, as
stated, (roti various quarters since the
uleeting,of the council.
County Coitncillur t'antelon, sof
Clinton, who engineered the repudi-
ating resolution through the council.
attempts to justity it by stating that
of- the sixteen men who composed the
council in 111112 only four now remain,
the other twelve having given place
to new Members, and that, an these
men were not in the council when the
grant was passed, they are not to be
charged with breach of faith in refus-
ing to pity it. We can hardly believe
that Mr. Cantelon is so ignorant of
the true character of a representative
body as to bring forward such all ex-
cuse in seriousness. Surely a man in
his position shoats(' know that when
the council makes a grant, or takes
any other action. it iv not Mr. Caulte-
lon, Mr. Miller, :the. McLeaul anti the
other individual tneinle rs who do it.
but the county council of the county
"f Huron, and that the changing of
• the personnel of the couneil makes rut.
A tittle of difference in the force of
any resolution previously adopted by
the council. The county cuuneil of
Huron Made a grant of $1,1110 to the
hospital, and the pn,mutetr .d the.
hospital have a right u, inok to the
council to make its promise good, un-
less there is sum( 'adequate roust. for at
refuted entirely outside of Mr. Conte-
Iom's impotent excuse of a change in
the ine.nb ership of the council.
The only other reaue,nt advanced by
Mr. Canteelun in his published letter
ate that there is n hospital ward et
the house of refuge and that the
county taxes Are increasing rapidly.
How manly people in ordinary rine -
stancea does Mr. ('antelop expert to
go to the house of refuge for treat -
went ? The hospital- ward at the
Clinton institution doubtless nerves a
good purpose, bet it cannot do the
work of n regular hospital and is
really nu guletitute whatever for a
well-equipped hospital such as is being
established in Goderich. The matter
of expense was considered by the
council in making the grant in 1912,
and it is hardly n square deal to urge
increaser) expense" which have since
been incurred as an excuse for refus-
ing to pay the amount then granted.
Mr. ('antelon says the count y expendi-
ture hags increases (runt $35,541 in 111112
to $01,372 in 1011i. The council ham
neer flt almost to double its expendi-
ture in three years, but cannot pro-
vide the romparetively small
which in 4002 when it was evidently
in a more economical mood than it it
at present, taking \1r. ('nntelon',
figures for it --it voted to whet it con-
sidered as worthy and deserving proj-
ect. Mr. Cantelian wind(' have done
better to confess openly that his ac-
tion was due to the tactty jettlotisy of
t. he county town for whirl' lie im
maritime. than to attempt to coyer tip
his motive% with the lame attempt at
atgnment he has given to the public
in him letter.
Another renw)n-lhat late leen given
for the council's action is that an old
and unsuitable Wilding is being used
instead of the erection oft, slew build-
ing. We should like to know by
what means the council carne to the
conclusion that an unsuitable building
had been chosen for the hospital.
Bid the members who) voted against
the grant take the trouble to niake
any investigation or inquiry tit asccr-
lain whether the huildingwitss suitable
or net? Evidently they did not, of
they would have discovered that by
persons who are ronipeuent to judge
the hospital that is'heing fitted up on
Routh street in considenrl very tatis-
factory in all importantrespects, and
that in its establishment the county of
Huron is securing an institution that
will he an untold benefit to the com-
munity within reach of the advant-
ages which it will offer. it in to 1e
hoped the membrnof the (!ounril who
are open to conviction will take an
opportunity before the next mention of
larking more thoroughly into this
smatter. There was no agitation
iu any part of the comity, as
tar as we ' have learned, against the
payment of the county grant.
and if the council later on re.
vies its action and conies to the as-
sistauce of the hospital we believe that
no member will stiffer in the (satinla•
tion of his cxnlatituetits.
THE CABINET CHANGES.
Of the Hon. I.. P. Brodeur, who suc-
ceeds the late Mr. I'lefontaine Its
Minister of Marine and Fisheries in
the Dominion Oovernulent, The Mon -
heal Witness. which is in a position to
know hint well, says :
"It is a fortunate thing for the
country that Mr. Hrsteur now takes
hold of such an inlps,rttntl port fa() as
that of Minister of M:rlKote, where
there in so much spending to do, as
there is surety that the department
will Is Ilalministet•t'tl honestly and
efficiently. The most urgent work
before hint hi to complete the widen-
ing and deepening of the St. Lawrence
ship channel and to bring its buoying
aid lighting and signalling up to the
[mint of the- highest possible efficiency.
Ilia pr•decestor was fully seized with
the immediate necessity of such works
mid wt Was his pnrteceswer in the
same responsibility, Mr. Tarte. who
took very practical steps to that end.
Mr. Brodeur. we cue sure. will prove
no laggard in this or any testiest
where improvements ale necessary,
for the good of the country. The new
Minister is happily young, only forty-
four. is truly patriotic and is broad
and modern in his views, and may
look forward to many years of useful-
ness to his country'."
The Hon. \yillianl Teinpleman. who
takes Mr. Br deur's place". 1414 Minister
