On taking the chair be asked if anyone there knew anytiung about a Poor y4 House, iusiunating that he did, but they did not, Then he ruled that only one claws was admissable to the Poor House, vhtl "The Poor," Ho ignored the argu- ments advanced on the humanity, the morulity and religious privileges that would be in. store for the inmates of the Poor House, but based his ruling entirely on a money consideration, as if money were of more consequence than the comfort and spiritual privileges of the poor. Also after delivering the decision (it took him some time to win the ether two to his way of thinking) he made quite a little speech against the Poor House, stating that at one time a person in Exeter was 60 Billy as to epeak in favor of a Poor House, but he gave him a severe reprimand for daring to express such wicked .ideas. So far as I could make out, the decision was greatly influenced by a misleading statement, though 110 doubt the parties who made use raft were sincere and gave it in good faith. The statement given was that "The amount granted to indigents in '87 was $5,864,and the annual cost of maintaining au inmate is set down at $55. This county would supply 125 inmates, the cost would be 86,875. about $1,000 more than now .''i I am satisfied that the decision fluenced greatly by his erroueo ment• I had a curiosity to see r myse this wonderful eonuniitee's report. Atter some difficulty I managed to obtain one of these reports, and perused it carefully. I could not see anything that could be used as an argument against the Poor House in the line of economy or otherwise, but did find on last page (10) Sec. 3, the statement above referred to, but it refers to the county of Ontario not Huron, and conse- queetly would be no argument. 11 was distinctly stated that it had reference to Huron. I have no doubt the parties who used the expression were sincere enough, but it had its effect on the chairman all the same. Blanshard Council. The municipal council of the township met on Monday. Present : Full Board. Minutes of previons meeting read and ap- proved. A petition largely signed by the citizens iu the vicinity of Woodham was presented to the council Inferring to the destitute circumstances of one Mrs. Samson, a lonely, yet useful and respected widow now residing in that lucidity. and asking the council to make a small grant towat da assist- ing her hi procuring the necessaries of life.
