By division vote of 16-10, Huron
County Council Wednesday after
noon endorsed the recommendation
of the health and hospital committee
to set up' a public health unit in Hur-
on county. The yeas and nays were
called for after a lengthy discussion,
and resulted as follows:

for security reasons were given among
reasons for the recommendation,
J. FL Kinkead, inspector of public
scoots in Nbrth Huron, told the Hur-
on County Council at the Wednesday
morning session that there is still a
shortage of qualified teachers. In his
inspectorate, 10 teachers with temp-
orary certificates are employed. En-
rolment in Normal Schools is lower.
In his opinion, the shortage could be
overcome • by encouraging pupils to
continue their studies in high schools.
The average salary paid in North
Huron is $1,760. Out of 199 successful
candidates at the higli school entrance
examinations last June, 182 are at-
tending high schools.

ian, reported that at the request of the

ers valued the film at $10,000. They

Satisfaction with the operation of
Sky Harbor airport under Keith S.
Hopkinson., and added that the ibusi-
UeSS carried on there amply justifies
the action taken by the council in

The agricultUral committee reported
that instructions had been given to
Gordon Bennett, agricultural represen-
tative, to request the Department of
Agriculture to proceed with T, B,
testing of cattle in Huron in 1949,
Mr. Bennett informed the council
that he had made the request, and was
advised that tests for T.B, had been

iatetinstitutes and high schools as fol-
lows: Monday, Nov. 22, in Goderich
Collegiate; Tuesday, Clinton; Wed-

Municipal Affairs, Twenty-six employ-
ees will be affected, of whom 20 are
employees of the Cbunty Roads Com-
mission.
Reeve George Armstrong of Hay,
chairman of the committee, pointed
out that the pension plan is a protec-
tion for employees and that 50 mun-
icipalities in Ontario have adopted
the plan.
A cost-of-living bonus of $15 a
month was authorized to be paid to
each jail employee, as recommended
by the committee. Two junior turn-
keys at the jail receive $1,450 a year
each; the senior turnkey, $1,700; and
the jailer, $1,300 and residence. It
was pointed out that salaries are set
by the government, but are paid by the
county.
The County Road Commission's
report was endorsed. In part it was
as follows:
"Construction works have been
completed during the year as follows,
the cost cited in each case being an
approximation as outstanding accounts
have to be estimated; Gorrie bridge,
$33,000; Egmondville bridge, $20,000;
Kipper road culverts and grading,
$4,500; culvert, Hensall, east, $1,000;

, eter-Belmore, $33,000.
"A considerable amount of bridge
repairs has been needed on account of
the severe floods of past years.
A warning that the county road
rate must be increased if proper ser-
vice is to be maintained was sounded
in the report of the Huron County
Road Commission, adopted by Huron
Council on Friday morning.
"Prices of equipment and many
road materials have doubled," said
the report, the demands of the. public
are heavy, and it cannot be expected
that work can be continued without
an increase in the county road rate.
An approximate expenditure of
$122,500 on construction during 1948
was reported by the commission, in-
cluding $53,000 for bridges. at Gorrie
and Egmondville.

on Friday afternoon an honorarium
of $1,000 was authorized to be given
to Judge T. M. Costello in recogni-
tion of his services as county Juvenile
Court judge for 21 years, for which he
received no salary.
It was pointed out by Children's
Aid Society officials and by members
of council that Judge Costello had
taken a deep and kindly interest in
the children, and had devoted much
time to the work.
Magistrate D. E. Holmes, K,C.,
who has been appointed county Juven-
ile Court judge, was voted a yearly
salary of $500 earlier in the session.
The following representatives to the
High School Area Boards were ap-
pointed: Goderich, P. J. MacEwan;
A. M. Knight; Seaforth, Rus-
sell Bolton; Wingham, A, D. Mac-
William; Exeter, Dr, H. Brown.
Reeve prank Bainton objected to
the procedure 'by which the motion
covering the pension plan for county
employees was passed at 'Thursday's
session. The county solicitor, R, C.
Hays, was called Mr a ruling, and
ruled the procedure was in order. 'Then
Reeve Baititon submitted a motion ob-
jecting to the passing of the by-law
authorizing the inauguration of the
plan. After the by-law was given a
first reading he called for a division
vote, 'which resulted in the defeat of
the by-law. Several reeves were ab-
sent but the vote recorded was:

ported in part as follows:

to date the deed has not arrived.
The refrigeration plant has been in-
stalled at a cost of $2,545, which in-
cluded the preparing and equipping
of 'the room, This plant is wofking
satisfactorily and will be a great asset
to the institution. A great saving -yill
be made by the installation of this
plant, as food stuffs and meat, etc.,
can be kept indefinitely.
The following produce was produc-
ed on the farm this year; about 5,000
bushels of oats and mixed grain; • 450•
bushels of wheat and one acre of
string 'beans sold for $272.39; 107,195
