Speaking of the weeds and brush. be said he was sorry that we could not do more with them. Had experiment- ed some this year. Tried a tractor with chains to pulls them out and this was not very satisfactory. He was of the opinion that the township- should. get a small bulldozer which could be used for this purpose.

He spoke of the claim for . damage done by dogs which amounted to $266.50. For live stock killed I re- ceived, he said, '$120, there were 10 of my cattle and 14 others so that really all I actually received was $50 while the others got $70.

Phone Teeswater 120J. he said that a clinic was held and all pupils of the township were examined. Dr. Crawford, the medical officer of health, carried on this work which was a general examination, 154 were ex- amined with the following results: .67 were found with defects and there were 82 defects in all, 18 had defective eye sight, 11 defective ear's, 09 with ab- normal tonsils, 4 with dental defects, 5 mentally defective, 1. defective speech and 1 with malnutrition, In general the Doctor reported the health of the children very good and small defects could be easily remedied. He told of the Health Committee being set up at the June session of the county council and all schools will have the service of the school nurse if -they do not object. Two school. Sections had done so up to the time of the November meeting, This serv- ice is not available as yet as it is im- possible to secure nurses but it is hop- ed they will he during the coming year, The rate paid for indigents in hos- pitals has been increased from $1,75 per day to $2,00, this means the coun- ty and municipality each pay $1.00 in place of a half of $1.75. He spoke in 'glowing terms of the, financial standing of the county, The county had $175.000 in .Victory Bonds all paid for and there is no debt and there will be a surplus in this years account of $28,000. We are financing the war effort of the county as we go, he said. He told of a small fire at the jail in September caused by burning leaves, The damage will be taken care of .by the insurance which was carried. Reeve Wheeler told of a visit to the County Home with the county council at the time of the June session, It was in splendid shape and is filled to capacity most of the time, he said. New laundry, equipment has been 'in- stalled at a cost of $3400, This was very badly required and is giving splendid satisfaction. He spoke of the new agricultural representative, Mr, Bruce Matheson, who has replaced Mr. Shearer, Mr. Wheeler said he was a young man out to help and will do anything in his power for the farmer., Call on him about your agricultural problems, Mr. Wheeler advised, The Police Committee had been in a turmoil. We had a traffic officer for the COunty, Mr. Norman Leaver, This position was abolished and now each County Constable looks after traffic in his' own area. Gordon De- yell, new constable at Wingham. Chas, Salter at Blyth and one at Seaforth, and the other at Exeter. At the January meeting I was put on the road committee, he said. When you are on that committee you serve on no other, lie informed the meeting. This makes it a little difficult to get full knowledge of the work of other committees. Due to war conditions only necessary work is being carried on at present. The Ethel bridge was built at a cost of $17,000- and it is a credit to the workmen and the en- gineer, he said. A bridge was also built on the 9th of Qrey, He told .of the work'being carried on :to cut down a )1111 at Willa and Also to straighten • the road, The county road machinery and equipment is getting °in. poor shape, Difficult to get new parts and break- downs are frequent but nothing can be done about it at this time and thus the work does not get along as fast as the committee deSireS.. I have done the best I could- as your reeve and thank you, for the :confidence Placed in-me and he closed by wishing all. the compliments of the season, ; Later Mr. Wheeler - told of the grant given to • Wingham General Hospital Building Fund for $500 and a $100 grant to the Community Hall at Blue- vale. James Michie Mr. James Michie -was the first of the councillors to speak. He remark- ed that the' attendance at the nomin- ation meetings were getting smaller and smaller each year. He said that the school entertainment had been well attended and I would like to see more here today to hear the review of the work for the past year, The expenses were the highest this year since I have been in the council, he said, the Mill rate is a little higher also the county rate. We have started to repair our bridges and we are going to have to spend considerable on them from now on he warned. Work was done on the Bodmin -bridge. It is difficult to. get help but the -centre abutment of the Sunshine side- road will have to be raised. No doubt other bridges need attention. We will have to do something about weeds and brush on the road sides as they are blocking our roads. Cutting the brush does not seem to be doing any good. They will have to be pulled out and the ground plowed and seeded. There are several items that may come up next year. One is the Muni- cipal school area which has been ad- opted by some of the townships in this area. This looks like something that is coming. The ratepayers should discuss this matter at their School section meeting he said, so that coun- cil could be guided in their actions. There is an extra grant of $2,000 to municipalities adopting this system he said. School taxes are about the larg- est tax we pay. They are about one third of the total taxes, he said. He spoke about the plan for the Ontario Government to pay % the cost of edu- cation which will start next year so we should have a reduction in our municipal tax bills next year. Another item which will come up for consideration is the 1/5 mill levy for the Federation of Agriculture, and it looks to be the surest way, he said, to raise finances for the Federation, It would amount to about $1,00 per farm. He closed by thanking his mover and seconder and all for the support given the council. It is very rare he said, that .a Reeve and Council get an acclamation two years in succession. He extended the compliments of the season to all. Charles R. Coultes After thanking the ratepayers for the confidence placed in him by giv- ing him an acclamation, Mr. Coultes said that the cleaning up of the road sides is a big problem and if we do not get the co-operation . of the rate- payers it will cost the township a lot. Another problem is the matter of the assessment over the township. Equalization of the assessment is very necessary, he said. I -consider a lot of properties are not assessed on an equal basis, he said. I am in favour of the Township School Area Plan and if a vote taken. in council next year I will support it, he said. It is a going thing and until we get into it we are helping to pay the other fellows grant, he said, He told of attending a meeting in TO,ronto when Wartime Assets were explained. This is the means the government will use for disposal of equipment from closed *camps, surplus goods etc. 43 committees have been set up to study this problem. He told of some of the difficulties and at this instant there is enough copper on hand now to last for 12 to 15 years at pre- war consumption rates. This is just one of hundreds of -problems that will have to be faced. He wished all the compliments of the season and thanked his mover and seconder. Harvey Johnston Mr. Johnston said that the nomin- ation day this year "was about as early as possible. The taxes are a little higher, he said, due to some grants being made and to have enough to meet all accounts the rate was raised i/2 mill. There are $2,000 in Victory Bonds paid for in the treasury and we may be able to purchase some more with the surplus. It was a good thing he felt to invest the surplus in bonds for after the war. The school tax had been reduced one mill by Subsidy this year and Drew has• promised to re- duce the school burden by 50 per cent next year. He told of the building of the new Phelan bridge on the 8th line. The township will receive 75 per cent subsidy on this work. Other bridges will require work he said, He men- tioned the extra expenditure for dam- age clone to stock by dogs. Last year it was but $20,00, this year over $250.- 00. He suggested that, some of the war factories be used after the war to make chemical for killing weeds and brush. This to be sold to the township at a cheap rate and thus clean up this situ- ation. He congratulated the Reeve on his appointment to the road committee of the council. He wished all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. William Speir After thanking his mover and seconder, Mr, Speir said he was sorry he did not see more ex-reeves and councillors present at the meetings. They used to add much interest to our meetings, he said. He spoke of ONO ELECTION IN MORRIS TOWNSHIP (Continued from page one) All know the war situation since a year ago, things have been going re- warkable for the Allies up to last 'week. However' it is said that the present German push may be her own ways see things the same way but -blotters of contention were settled agreeable to all. over $200,000 in Victory Bonds dur- ing the 6th and 7th loans, Mr. Wheeler reported. This is a great thing and shows that the spirit is in the right place. The committee was Lyle Hop- per. Ralph Shaw and myself. During the 6th Loan the council purchased $5,000 in bonds which are still held, against which there is a note in the bank. We may retain some of this amount or= may sell it. We have in this township treasury $2,000 in bonds held outright.
