ment and called upon Reeve Hill.

Mr. Jefferson 'outlined- the work
the County had undertaken on

Dungannon road at $30,000, also
the work yet to be finished on

The County Library system was
explained. It is understood the
books now owned by the local
libraries remain the property of

if the building housing the Lib.
rary is the property of the Lib.
rary Board. Several advantages
were mentioned, one being that
residents would have the use of
all Traria inthe County. The

$622,$5-2; which price does not

to the new ambulances in Ged;
erich and W ingham, the necessity
of paying a share in each was
forced upon the Township, when
undertakers refused to provide
this service due to altered re.
gulations, The percentages ( 3
percent for Goderich and 5 per
cent for Wingham) were worked
out by considering the number of
patients from the townships ad.
mitted to the hospitals last year.
Mr. Jefferson also pofnted out
the new regulations regarding
assessors for townships. In the
event that the present assessor
is working under . a temporary
licence,he may continue to do so,
but any new assessor hired by
the township must be fully livens.

itv at5home. Mr. Jefferson stated
that he could not afford the time
to devote- to Council and would
not stand for office again.
Gordon Smyth then took the
floor and outlined expenditures
made on Township Roads during
the year. He was thoroughly
questioned on the "deplorable"
conditions of the Township roads,
and answered to the best of his
ability. He stated it was not his
intention to stand as Councillor
for the coming year.
Mr. Lorne Durnin then thanked
those nom inatirig him for office,
and expressed his extreme dis-
satisfaction with thecondition of
