'with some actions of .the County Conn -
During the war the County had

build a new- Court'Souse at a, cost of.
$275,000and the old structure was
to be torn down. Where is the money
coming from?, the speaker asked.
Goderich days something like x;15,000
si year to the County, and. he wondered
sometimes what• the Town got dor it.
There was a: sotgestion`"'that the Town'
should. separate `from the County;
he would not say whether this would
be U. good move- or not. He asked if
there had been any member of the
(county (iouncil who "talked of re

It- was up to the •County,to make a
cash or other donation to'the gallant
men and women ,who had gone to

Governments were chiefly responsible,
but the County ,should do something
too.
Referring to the local Public Util-

theyat -in = a musty -room- in- a- dilapid-
ated building in a ppor location, "Why
don't they buy a little paint. and

the, water, they were drinking was
"quite a mature."

Councillor Geo. G. MacEwan, named.
for 'the .deputy-reeveship, (and later
elected by acclamation )., : spoke . of the
great world° eyents of the year, cul-
minating in victory over Germany and'
Japan and the Meeting of ' represent-

richwomen who had gone froode-
rich coming home safely. There were
many important projects to be dealt
. with during the coming year, After
two years as chairman of the oeeznetery

cemetery -should be placed in charge
of a :commission as proposed some
,;tine ago by Mise MacPherson. This
he • believed 'would • assure continuity
in improvement of the cemetery so that
it might be made the most beautiful
