HANNA REPORTS 801. Bay Street, Toronto 6, Ontario March 23rd, 11)02. The Editor, Winghttltt Advance Times, Wingham, Ontario. .Dear Mr, Wenger: I have pleasure In forwarding to you the last report by the late Member for Huron -Bruce, my old friend, John Hanna, which I trust you will be able to publish as us- ual in your paper next week, with perhaps ft note as to the faithful manner in which John used to keep the people: informed through your naocr on some of the events during the session of the Ontario Legislature, I luny say that all John Hanna': colleagues mourn deeply his pass- ing and his pleasant face arwi good counsel will be much missed. in tht halls of the Legislature. Yours sincerely, BRED M. CASS, Minister of 'Municipal Affairs. 0-0-0 I,'ho ninth week of the present session was a week devoted to de- partmental estimates marked by determined efforts on the part of both opposition parties to discre- dit the government policies and ministers and to obtain a maximum of publicity of any kind. As a re- sult there were several very long and noisy anal unruly sessions which, in the opinion of many, add - cel very little to the accomplish- ments and record of any of the parties. 'however, even such mat- ter's must come to an end and so the estimates of Highways, Energy Resources and Reform Institutions were duly completed and approved.! The now minister of highways, Mr, Goodfellow, introduced another quarter of a billion dollar program; mut provided the members and the; press with very full particulars of the province -wide road program of his department, Once again it was noted that road work was well spread across the whole of On- tario and that the Trans -Canada Highway and the freeway system highways 401, 403 and 405 account- ed for a large share of construction for the year. And again the amount of money ;provided for subsidy and other payments to municipalities was increased. With the appar- ' ant severity of the spring road break-up this year, most municipal- ities will have little difficulty in making use of all the provincial money made available to them The Energy Resources estimates went rather quick), until matters affecting Ontario Hydro came up for consideration. As both opposi- tion parties took the 'stand that HISTORY OF VILLAGE IIIVEN AT INSTITUTE 111' LURAVI' The ldsiorioal re- avant e..cyan tt and current events meeting of the llelgrave Women's institute wns held in the community (•entre on.Tuesday afternoon with the pre. silent, Mrs, Richard Procter, in charge, It was announced that the distriet executive meeting is to be in Blyth on April 3 at 1,:19 p.m. and the district annual is to be on May 11 at Clinton.

Lunch was served by Mrs, Clarence I-Ianna, Mrs, Walter Pocock and Mrs. Stanley Black. the pr'ovinc'ial government should control Ontario Hydro rattler than the municipalities who own it, the debate was long and acrimonious, but really settled' nothing, As usual discussion of Reform Institutions found the opposition parties in full cry against suppos- ed injustices to inmates and staff alike. The new minister, Mr. Has- i(ett of Ottawa South, conducted his first estimates in a very good style, however, and wcathere,rl all attacks in good form ars it was quite anparont from both sides of the debate that Ontario was still a leader in this field although by no means at perfection yet. Committees continued to sit, with. that on municipal law, of which the chairman is Mr, Auld of Leeds, getting a start on the many am- endments proposed by the govern- ment to the various municipal laws by which our municipalities are governed. Each year it becomes more apparent that there must be a, complete revision and up -dating of our municipal laws. As yet. however, the'Select Committee ap- pointed last year for this purpose has not yet been able to make" any recommendations and so a very unsatisfactory condition continues There is, nevertheless, the very strong feeling that this task will bo properly undertaken in the near future. Certainly when completed such a revision will be a tremen- dous boon to municipal officials, elected and appointed alike, SPARKLING Gwenlyrtn Little, who appears as Mimi in Puccini's opera, "La Boheme, to be sung 1 in English by a cast of the Canadian Opera Company at the Wingham District High School, Friday, March 30th at 8.30 p.m, Tickets are available from members of the Lions Club, at Vance's Drug Store, and at the office of Dr. E.
