"Muuicipai Government -- How

" Piecause of the pressure of

ors and councils in many towns
and cities, many municipalities
recently have been turning to
the Town or City Mr type
Fisher. "Under this system,

and Coencillors and of a muni-

County ,Council.
Mayor Fisher pointed out
that 1uron County's population
in 1900 was 6Q,000 in compari-
son to 48,000 today—a drop of
12,000 in 60. years. Today there
are 28,000 rural residents in
Huron to 21,000 urban resi-
dents.' This stands in contrast --
to 43,000 rural residents to
17,000 urban residents in ` 1000.
This drastic change in the ra-
tio of urban and rural resi-
dents in the past 60 years is
probably' the reason over all
Ontario that there are discus-
sions pro and con on the
Cpunty. System, said, Mayor
Fishier.
In Canada, certain matters
are removed from direct con-
trol of Town Council afid plac-
ed under the jurisdiction of
boards or commissions. In

of a Town Council playa, an
important role because today
taxpayers are demanding more
and better services.
With mounting taxes, a asro-
blem faces Town Council in
assessing for tax purposes. Tax-
ation of real property has
reached the saturation point
and we must now look to other
sources, he- said. •
In the matter of financing,
Mayor Fisher said that Gode-
rich should have a capital ex-
penditure budget projected
over a period of the next ten
years. This would prevent such
a thing as a jump of 15 mills
or so in any one year and
even out the taxation over a
period of years.
Many other phases of how a
municipal government func-
tions were also, explained.
Mayor , Fisher concluded .with
an appeal to citizens to turn
out to the nomination night
meeting.

Traced Developments
Mayor Fisher traced the his -
try of municipal government
from its earliest origin up
the present 'day. He pointed
. out how people who live in the
• same community have found
it necessary to devise some
means' of regulating their com-
mon affairs. They have been
obliged, to arrange for security
against enemies and marauders,
for the protection, of their pro-
perty from fire, for a supply
of good water, for the disposal
of sewage and garbage, the reg-
ulation of building, social wel-

mains, sanitary and storm sew-
ers that are too small to serve
a development that is destined
to take place in the future.
New sub -divisions, of ` which
oderich ' has several, if not
operly planned, could put a
municipality into debt for quite
some time, he stated. Planning
and zoning can prevent unde-
sirable and costly scattered de-
velopments that become a
,heavy., burden to taxpayers, he
added.
The Court of Revision, • he
said, is a law unto' itself. The
only appeal from a Court of
Revision. is, nbt to Town Cum;
cil, but to the County Judge.

Ap rare copy of "Prince
Pedro," written over 80 years
ago by Dr. J. H. Garnier,
pioneer medical doctor in Luck -
now, •has been donated to the
Bruce County Museum.
The donors are Mr. and Mrs.
Gordan Towle of Vancouver,
native, of Lucknow.
Mrs. Towle is the former
Mildred long, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander
Long, of Ashfied.
Mrs. Towle received the copy
of the book from her grand-
mother. Originally the volume
had been presented perspnally
by Dr. Garnier to Mrs. Tewle's
grandfather, rr- -Ale.
Long who was professor of
`anatomy at McGill University.
Prince- Pedro was publishe
in Toronto in 1877, and l
Towle believes there were only
four copies printed.
Dr. Garnier appears to have
been a writer of considerable
ability. • Two v plays were pub-
lished by him, entitled. "Prince
Pedro" and "Morgan the Jew."
Another book, "The Mistakes
of Moses," was in process• of
preparation at the time of his
death.. It was an essay in which
he pointed out what he deemed
to be the inaccuracies of the
Bible. It was done after the
naoner Of ` tobt, Ingersoll's
writings, though more philo-
sophieal.
'Prince Pedro" is an historic-
al drama of 180 pages, ,publish-
ed in 1877, and dedicated to the
Governor-General, ' Lord Duf-
fet'in. The plot is laid in Port-
ugal at the time of the Moorish
wars.
"Prince Pedro" was produced
in Haymarket and Drurylane
Theatres _in.,London, 1 nglandL
and a private presentation .was
given for Her Majesty Queen
Victoria.
Jr.,"Garnier was not a busi-
ness man and suffered . much
loss financially from those who
imposed upon him. He gave
away everything he had, dying
a poor man. His widow died
in Lucknow in the spring of
1932. There were ne, children
by his marriage.. •
Dr. J. H. Garnier lived for
nearly 40 years in the :Village
of Lucknow, and was one of
the most interesting figures in
the history o estern On -

HOLMESVILLE, ',Nov. 13. —
The 'basement of the united
Church was crowded to rapac-
ity ani, Friday evening for thej
-----ann ial--banquet--meeting - of -the
Goderich 'iownship Federation
of Agriculture; Chairman of
the program was Mervyn 'Lobb,
president of the Goderich
Township Federation, who out-
lined . the accomplishments of
the organization during the
past year. He thanked the or-
ganization for the honor
being president and announced
that he would be stepping out
of the office for the coming
Year. •
Elected president for the
coming year -was Wilmer Rid-
dell. • New vice-president is
Jack Merrill, while the secre-
tary -treasurer is Gerald' Orr.
Reeve Walter Forbes said
the Federation was the back-
bone of agricultural achieve•
wente in Goderich Township.
He wondered .if the officials
fully realized how much good
they had really done in past
years for the welfare of the
township.. He brought greet-
ings to the Federation from
ship" Federation. The presi-
dent of the Hulett Township
Federation, Lloyd Sfewart,
brought greetings.
Mr. Fraser Stirling moved a
vote -f thanks for the fine
banquet put on by the ladies
of the church. Replying , on
behalf of the ladies was Mrs.
N. Heard,
Guest speaker was Leonard
Harmon of the United Co-oper-
atives of Ontario.
He spoke of his trip to Russia
'acrd Yugoslavia last summer
during which he attended the
convention in the latter coun-
try of the Federation of Agri-
culture of the World.
Two-thirds of the people of
the world are not properly fed
and that's why you and your
children stand under tide threat
of war, said Mr. Harmon. At
long last, however. he said, we
!are reaching the stage where
representatives of most coun-
tries have taken steps towards
establishing a' 'world plan for
food.
He said his visit to Russia
convinced him that regardless
of whether Marx or Lenin had
organized things in Russia, a

Life insurance is
a good investment
Buy protection from a life insurance company but -
invest your money elsewhere. This view, held by a .
number of people, reflects a belief that life insurance is a safe
but unprofitable fonof investment. But' both the opinion and
the Belief behind it completely ignore the facts.
The theoretical advantage of investing elsewhe.fe soon evapor-
ates in the light of Manufacturers Life's low premium deposits,
liberal annual dividends and high returns on annuities. ,
The rate of interest credited to policyowners compares more
than favourably with net yields on good, -reliable
stocks and bonds.
Behind this performance is progressive motley management
practiced by a group of specialists who administer a fund -of
one billion dollars. They have earned for the company
a reputation for investment operations that produce„an
• ,enviable comibiidation of profit and safety- 'hesb,then work for
• you, when' you invest in a Manufacturers Life policy.
This story is far from complete. There are many additional -
practical advantages,of investing in life insurance. The Man
From Manufacturers would welcome the opportunity to
give you the complete picture.
