Money For Patriotic 1"1,1rPoseS
Connell on Wednesday authorized
that provision be made in the estim-
ates for the :Jetting aside of half a
mill on the assessment for patriotic
purposes; and the purchase of $30,000
of Victory Bonds in the forthcoming
drive,
The 'handling of the moneys to be
raised by the half-mill patriotic levy
was 'left with the warden's committee,
after a discussion in which some reeves
favored taking the amount off the road
expenditure, while others argued that
it should be raised by the tax rate.
Ask Road-building Suspension
A delegation from Grey and How-
ick townshipS, including Earl Cor-
bett, president of the 'Canadian Legion,
Russell Knight, president of Grey Fed-
eratidn of Agriculture, E. H. Strong,
councillor of Howick township, and
seven others, asked that road COD-
structioi) be suspended until after the
war, and urged an all-out war effort.
In 1.939 the county spent $35,000 on
new road construction, the delegation
pointed out; in 1940, $50,000, and in
1941, $63,000 in ten months, and all
the time the war situation was becom-
ing more serious. Men working on the
roads would be better on farms, the
delegation claimed.
Councillors R. J. Bowman, J. W.
Gamble, R. E. Turner, R. R. Red-
mond, and County Engineer R. Pat-
terson took part in the discussion, It
was pointed out that if the construc-
tion of roads were discontinued, as
suggested, the county would lose a
subsidy of $28,000.
The report of the Children's Aid
Society showed that 721 visits had
been made; 497 office interviews held,
and 39 court sittings attended. There
were 19 adoptions, as compared with
seven in 1940; 16 new cases of child
protection, and 21 new cases of un-
married parents.
J. B. Reynolds, county jailer, in pre-
senting his report, paid a glowing tri-
bute to the memory of Kerwood
Whyte, the late turnkey of the insti-
tution. There twere 91 prisoners dur-
ing the year, and at present there are
six. The cost of Meals is 16Yi cents
