J. 1i• Holtzmann CREDITON Uxetet Abuorate, Sanders ct Creech, Props. THURSDAY, Apr. 9, 1908 NOTE AND COMMENTS In the year 1901 the Ontario Liberal Government spent $123.750 on rural, public and seperete schools; in 1907 the Whitney Government spent $358,- 175.80. an increase of :4231.42.5.80. The Redistribution Committee has changed the standing of the Hurons from the first draft by taking Tucker. smith from the Centre and putting it in the South Riding. This would leave the South Riding with Tuckersmith, Goderich, Stanley, Hay, Stephen and Usborne Townships, and Exeter, Hen- sel! and Bayfield Villages. This differs from the old riding by adding the part of Goderieh Township that was formerly in the West Riding, and leav- ing out Seaforth Town. The Liberals of the Committee later recommended that Goderich Township be all left in Centre Huron and Seaforth Town in South Huron. It would hardly be likely that Mr. Whitney would accep the advice of his opponents, when hie object is to right the wrong that bad existed for so many years. t Lumley This is a good syrup year.
