We must have a lot of push and stay behind the boys over there and see the thing through to the finish. 4.1e 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 $7,1)..

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.

Dr. Crawford, the medical officer of health, carried on this work which was' a general examinati677 1•ka4 were ex- amined with the following results: 07 were found with defects and there were 82 defects in all, 18 had defective eye sight, 11 defective ears, 30 with ab- normal tonsils, 1.3 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 hon- ed they will be '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 pay11.00 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 actount 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 I in September .caused. by burning leaves. 'The damage will be taken careof .x hxthe 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 Blanc;' be said. New laundry equipment has beent*In4. 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 Wheeler abouty aout c-tvaigseridc.ultural problems, Mr. 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 coas•••;1 able 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, he 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 orl, at present. The Ethel bridge was DONALD B. BLUE Experienced Auctioneer Licensed for Counties of HURON & BRUCE All Sales Capably Handled Ripley, Ontario Phone 49. 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 Oth of Grey, He told of the work being carried on to cut down a hill at. Varna 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 riot get along as fast as the committee desires, I have done the best 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 Wingliam. 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 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 lilOwodand seeded. There -ar,eseveral items that may come up next year. •••Gria,•1s,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,Ate 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. .. By R. J. SCCiii 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 Toronto 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 se,cc Johnston Mr, Johnston nomin- ation day this year was abotiras early as possible. The taxes are a little higher, he said, clue to some grants being made and to have enough to meet all accounts the rate was raised 3/2 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\ "/?..14„.u.P.mok,tweelFtFiiftlgef''the9t-- duce the school burden by 50 per cent next yearY He told of the building of the new Phelan bridge on the 8th line. The township *ill receive 75 per cent tsjuobilseiddythoe exnthtirs work. Other bridges will require work he.'•-said. He men- tioned extra expenditure for t dam- age era aotto to • it was bu elgo.00, this year 041'4250.- 00. He suggested 'that some of the way 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 ditch work done in his corner of tli township and said there had been some criticism of the way council let this work, but he said that no more :was sphaaidpe.for this work than was paid in Township, Mathers drain hart been cleared and was in fairly good Speaking of the weeds and brush, said lie was sorry that we could4noe 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 he used for this purpose. He said that charity had been about nil this year,, but that dogs had been very destruc- tive. Our assessment is the most un- fair tiring we have in Morris Town- ship, I strongly recommend equaliz- ation of the assessment, he said. He closed his remarks by wishing all the compliments of the Season. Wm. Brydges Mr. Brydges who has been tax col- lector for 22 years, said that this year he would have collected $1,000,000 dollars in taxes. He said that he had enjoyed the good co-operation of the ratepayers over the years. Back tax- es are pretty well cleaned up, there are $1800 which will have to be paid by Illly Nelson Higgins, Treasurer The first speaker was the township treasurer, who gave an explanation of the township finances. He said that the township has a surplus of assets over liabilities of over $15,000. The total receipts amounted to $59245.98, ae ••••• was $13219.37; SchOols $15038.51; Huron County Levy $16644.27. He reported that the township held $2000 in Victory Bonds all paid for and JZ00 for which a note was outstand, Russell Currie, Road Superintendent Mr. Currie said that this year a total of 7619 yards of gravel had been used in the township. Expenditures amount- ed to $13210.37. He told of the vati- ,suu ri s lg jobsi $c6lo6111e4.9d5t.tring the year, the M 'n items were bridges $4748.36 and. Oth speakers included Mr. Robert Bowman, reeve of Brussels; ex-reeve,. William j\rees Henderson; ex-coun- cillor Frank Shaw, and W, W.
