On Fri- day last about fifteen ladies partici- pated in the tournament, in which the winners were: low grow, Mrs. J. 11 Taylor; low net, Mrs. I. D. Eastman. On June 1 Miss B. liunter was the winner of the low net prise. Mn. 1 Taylor won the "hidden bole," com- petition after tieing with Mrs. T. H. Mitchell. The ladles golf committee -will verve l tea to those taking part in the field day on Friday, June 15. A grant of $500 to each of the four county hospitals was recommended and brought • veritable storm of protest. The grant. last year was $650 and four years ago was $1000. Reeve Bal- lantyne was in the chair during com- mittee dtecueeion. Reeve Peter Scott said all hospitals bad shown a profit to 19:•3, out Reeve Davidson corrected him in so far as Wingham hospital was concerned. stating there was a de- ficit of over $,x000. Reeve Scott re- torted that considerable amounts had been wr:tten off for depreciation to show a loss. Warden Elttott, Reeves (rosier of Seaforth, Turner and ?Jen- nings of Goderich and others all spoke very strongly in favor of maintaining the grant of $050. Reeves Sweltzer Of Stephen and Goldthorpe of Colborne had other Ideas and fav�edlthe re- the duction, pointing to the plight farmers and the salary lists of the hos- pitals. A statement that townspeople were much better off than were the farmers brought a sharp retort from Reeves Tnrjter and Bowman. The latter said there were only two bunt - nem men in Brussels making any money. Reeve Turner said It was not- iceable that council never whittled down grants to agriculture. A hos- pital, he said. was maintained just as fir en much for country folk as for towns - What was needed was a engaged in another display of lire- people. works and Reeves Bowman and Turn- broader viewpoint and more co-opera- er entered the discussion to explain tion. how their respective committees were A motion to grant $850 was carried paid.
