It is understood the books now owned by the local libraries remain the property of that librar. , and this also applies 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 librariesz 0 75 bed addition at Huron.view is nearing cornpletion at a cost of $622,$5-2; which price does not •.include furnishings. With regard. 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. ed. Due to increased responsibil- 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.

Mr. Lorne Durnin then thanked those nom inatirig him for office, and expressed his extreme dis- satisfaction with thecondition of the roads.

An increase in the amount of gravel applied to the' roads this year, the completion of the Ceni. etery on the Second Concession, the new sidewalks in Dungannon and the work on the hili at the end of the Sixth Concession were projects of the Township for 1966 enumerated by Harold Err. ingotn. He explained that it was the opportune time to have the latter two completed, when the County was rebuilding other pro - tions of sidewalk in the Village and reconstructing the Lucknow- Dungannon road, at which time fill was obtained free of charge. Mr. Errington would not say without further consideration• for which office he would stand. Robert Lyons, Jr.. said Coun- cil's job is a tough one, but every- one did his best, and he agreed* that the roads definitely need more graLiing than they are gett. ing at . present. In closing he stated he might "take a crack". at the office of Reeve. Finding this past year the work at home and his position of Coun. cillor too great aburden, Howard Sproul refused to qualify for re. election.

Mr. Webster said that they had kept the cost of furnish. ings below the amount that the Department would pay, which is up to $1,200 per room. In his resignation, Mr. Webster stated that he had served nearly half a century as Trustee, and felt a younger man would be better for the job. Vice•Chasznan of the Board of Huron County School Area No. 2 Charles McDonald, took the floor and was•quizzed extensively about, expenses at the School, bus ex. penses, bus routes, etc. Wien asked about having the Board 'meetings reproted in the news. paper, he replied that he would do what he could to comply with the request.
