A note fro". Mrs. B. Burkholder
stated that in November, 1909, she
sold to Mrs. White half of lot. 1348,
and "by neglect of your assessor and
collectot" she bad berupaying taxes on
the same up W the end of the year
1915. She claimed • rebate tor the
amount overpaid.
Mr. Burkholder was present, and
was given permission to addles the
council. He repeated the statement
wade in Mrs. Burkholder's note and
said that when be spoke to Mr. Camp-
bell about it the latter said that if he
(Burkholder) made any kick about it
he would raise his assessment 550.
Councillor Cutt characterized the •
affair as "a piece of rank injustice."
Assessor Campbell came into the
council chamber at this juncture and
said that the matter complained Mt by
Mr. Burkholder had been before the
court of revision and bad been dis-
posed of.
A warm altercation ensued between
the assessor and Mr. Burkholder. The
latter said he bad never had s tax
notice, so that be could know what Le
was being assessed for. Mr. Campbell
gave this statement a fiat contradic-
tion. and added that he had never
been notified that the prop'rty bad
teen gold. Some decidedly uncompli-
mentary remarks were passed between
the two disputant*', and the Mayor
had to call both of them down. Mr.
Campbell', explanation was under-
stood to be that the sale of the small

fect the assesentent. The property

Councillor Moser said he had looked
over the house at the lake bank be-
longing to the town and found it in
bad shape. He thought it would be
impossible to fumigate it, as there
were too many air -holes. He thought
the building should be sold and re-
moved and the land converted into
park.
Mayor Stunning, still thought the
place should be fumigated, for sani-
tary reasons, and the public works
committee was asked to repot t. The
fence around the property is to be
sold.
The council adjourned shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock.
THE HURON COUNTY SHELTER.
The proposed establishment of a
Children's Shelter for Huron county
(an option having been secured on the
well-known St. Lawrence property
adjoining the public library in Gode-
rich) is a step the importance of which
is perhaps not sufficiently well ap-
preciated throughout the county, at
(east by those who are not familiar
with the work being done by the
Children's Aid Society. While figures
de not give an adequate Idea of the
extent of the work, it is interesting
to note that there are 114 wards of
the Society placed out in homes in
tbis county, besides fifty Huron
county wards in homes in other
counties. In many cases where
children are taken charge of it is of
the utmost importance that they be
taken to a proper home, such as a
Shelter. and kept there for • few
weeks till they are physically cared
foe and a proper estimate is made of
their temperament and mental re-
quirements. This is absolutely es-
sential to allow of securing homes for
which they would be suited, or in
which care would be taken to meet
their deficiencies and secure their
well-being. At present the only facil-
ity for this very necessary prelimin-
ary woo k is to send them to a Shelter
in another county. such as at Strat-
ford, Brantford. London. etc., which
of course deprives the county agent
and the officials here of the personal
knowledge they would have if the
child were placed in our own Shelter.
Within the past few weexsa case in-
volving five children is proving • very
anzioue problem, which could be more
easily and effectively bandied if the
home Shelter were available. Indeed,
the universal experience in every
town and county having $ Shelter is
OM the work could not be properly
done without it.
As le matter of cost, the expense of
sending the children to outside Shel-
ters would all be saved and go far
towards maintaining a borne 8belter.
Then there ia the work of looking after
and placing in homes in this county
the wards of other Societies, which is
often asked, the work of the Societies
being interchangeable in this way.
At present there is no place where
such a child can be kept till a suitable
home is found and the necessary ar-
rangements made for its placing.
This would be a much easier matter if
a home Shelter were establisbed here.
As • child cannot be eommitted to
jail 'it is sometimes necessary to have
a detention home so that unruly chil-
dren
hitdren can be deal] with, and a room in
the Shelter can be adapted for such
use. 1f it is desired to have aJuvenile
Court in Huron county, such a place
of detention must be provided before
the Juvenile Court could be pro-
claimed.
An appeal is to be made to the
county council at ita June session for
a grant towards the establishment of
this much-needed addition to the work
of the County Society, and it is hoped
that the matter will be looked at from
the standpoint of the great benefits
such • Shelter would add to the splen-
did work the Society is doing. There
le not a dissenting voice in the county
regarding the wisdom and business
settee proved by the establishment of
theenunty house of refuge at Clinton,
and 'with the establishment and equip-
ment `qf a Children's Shelter we are
confldettt the first year's experience
would show equally mood results.
