ed a similar request, and the matter
was laid before the Highways Advis-
ory Board in 1928, and advice from
the Department is being awaited.''
With regard to several motions re
several motions re certain lights on
county roads, the commission recom
mended that consideration be given
these matters after the commission
had hand an opportunity to exam-
ine the situations. Another recom-
mendation was that a communica-
tion be sent to the advisory board
of the Department of Highways re-
questing a report on the matters
placed before it in September last.
The commission asked approval
of a new system for the payment of
accounts, whereby Miss Tye should
be appointed treasurer for the Co.
Road Commission and the county '
treasurer should pay over to the
commission the funds in lump sums,
as the accounts were passed. Thos
procedure, it was claimed, would eli-
minate a great deal of unnecessary
work and permit the payment of ac-
counts at an earlier Case. This
clause of the report, however, was
not concurred in, .the remainder of
the report being adopted.
REPORT RE INDIGENT
CASES IN HOSPITALS
And Other Matters Referred to a
Special Committee in December
The Committee appointed to en-
quire into matters referred to by te,e
Warden at the December meeting of
the County Council presented its re-
port.
From investigation we find," says
this report, "that the present legis-
lation regarding the admission of in-
digents to hospital treatment free is
being greatly abused and lacks very
much in the necessary machinery to
insure fair enforcement; that it
tends towards pauperising those who
would otherwise disdain to rolst them
selves on the charity of others,
many of whom are not so well able
to pay as they are themselves, hut
in many cases they aro not apprised
of the position they are placed in by
those too intent upon a sure collect-
ion of fees, for we believe the word
indigent is rather flippantly used and
that the patient is so classed without
proper evidence."
To guard against the abuse of a
well -meant privilege of relief the
committee suggested (1) tht pre-
cautionaiy measures such as are em-
ployed in the admission of cases to
the county house of refuge be ap-
plied to all who seek the public char-
ity of free maintenance in hospitalt;
(2) that such cases Should under no
account be admitted under any doc-
tor's or their own recommendation,
but such be subject to the enquiry
and judgment of a board, composed
of the' Reeve of each municipality
and the medical health officer or such
other person as the municipality may
appoint to pass upon the financier,
need and as to whether the case
should not be provided for in our
own hospitals (extra hazardous
cases requiring immediate action to
be considered exceptions and these
to be sent to our own hospitals); (8)
that all indigent eases except those
suffering from tubercular trouble
should be sent to our county hospit-
als and that the county be in no
sense held responsible for non-resid-
ents in any hospital or for those sent
to outside hospitals except by the
county's recommandation. It was
also recommended that the former

power •to proceed against any party
or parties to recover damages where
anaintenerice in hospitals has been
obtained by false statements either
by the patients themselves or by
those securing their admission,
Commitments to Industrial Sahoole
The committee also urged the pas-
sage of legisietion regarding the ad-
mission of incorrigibles or those ,to
called to industrial schools, so: that
the Reeve or members of the local
council should be consulted; also that'
in all cases the parents or guardians
should be compelled to maintain such
cases instead of the chs' ge being
assessed against the county; that the
school should be compelled to keep
a record of the whereabouts of the
parents or guardians, and when the
parents or guardians 'removed from
tike county tht county should cease
to have any respbneibility.
a
lf1 mtenance of Provincial Offices„
With reference to the maintenance
of offices by the county, the commit-
tee sought to "assert the principle or
Procedure that the county should not
be ,responsible for the upkeep of any
office which is not serving the county
that if the county provides the office,
tthe heat, light, water, caretaking and
general equipment, the Province
which receives the revenue and ap-
points the officer should pay for the
necessaries used in the performance
of the duties of the office, such as
blanks, paper, ink, telephoning, etc.
Stenographic Service.
"The committee has decided after
much investigation as to the pro-
cedure in other counties that the
stenographer service rendered in the
county is very much out of date asst
unsatisfactory, some offices in the
court house having too much assist-
ance and some having none at all,
and that there should be an' adjust-
ment of the same Iooking to a more
systematic system being employed,
where the service will be paid for by
the party or office receiving the ser-
vice and the county shall only be re-
sponsible for services rendered for
which it is liable to pay."
In order to bring about a more
satisfactory service in these respects
the committee recommended that the
legislature committee of the council
take the matter up with the inspect
or of legal offices, the county judge,
the county solicitor and the other of-
ficers concerned with the idea of
making an arrangement to prevent
duplication and much unnecessary
expenditure of county funds, and
that any stenographer employed for
county purposes be appointed by by
law and the duties fully defined.
Payment of Accounts.
The committee further suggested
that no accounts be paid unless the
same be signed or approved or an
order issued for the same by the
Warden, and that all accounts of a
doubtful chracter be tsubmitted to
the county solicitor for his opinion
as to the county's liability.
Regarding Children's Shelter ac-
counts, the committee recommended
that they be audited and paid quar-
terly in the same manner as gaol
and house of refuge accounts, the
present system of monthly payment
entailing too much unnecessary
trouble and too many meetings.
L. C. A, Officer.
Finally, the committee advocated
the appointment of an officer to en-
force the Liquor Control Act in this
county. A .very considerable sum
had been lost to the county by the
present method of having prosecut-
ions under the Act handled by a Pro-
vincial officer, as under this method
the fines want to the Province. In
the pant year the police magistrate
had sent to the Provincial Treasurer
$620, about ninety per cent. of whiii
was under the L. C. Act., or' about
$525 which should have come to the
ounty. The appointment of a
county officer would not only mean
additional revenue to the county but,
would tend to more l:,f°ective en-
Cereeiuent of the Act by Navies; an
additional officer on the job.

A .LETTER FROM
(Continued from Page 1)
escorted through the •place by a
guide who explains the different de-
partments,
We were allowed to watch from
the safe distance of a gallery, the
printing of postage stamps and
paper money. 1 rather expected to
have been handed a sheet of stamps
or a $20.00 bill as a souvenir, but, as
our party was large, I expert it
would have meant too much of an out
lay even for a wealthy nation like
the United States.
The Government Printing Office is
a hive of industry, cith its 4100
employees. It took us 13i hours to
be shown through the place and have
the various phases of the work ex-
plained to us. This place stands out
in my memory as the first poli ie
building I have visited in whie'h t
had not seen from one to several
pictures or statues of George Wash-
ington or Abraham Lincoln. The
place of honor is given so Benjamin
Franklin.
Other places of interest and edu
cation are the Corcoran Alt Gal-
lery; the Museums; Smithsonian In-
stitute (the gift of an English-
man); the U. S. Treasurey; Red
Cross building; Pan-American Union
Memorial Continental Hall; new
Post Office.; and the new Union
station, erected at a cost of $18,000-
000 and said to be the finest railway
station in the world.
I must not forget the White House
which from the time of John Adams
has been the home of the Presidents.
Washington selected its site and
laid the corner stone in 1792. And
he and his wife inspected the finish-
ed building in 1799. The structure
is of Virginia free -stone. It was
fired by the British in 1814, only
the walls being left standing. The
restored exterior was then painted
white to obliterate the marks of the
fire.
The Washington Cathedral being
erected by the Episcopal Church, was
started twenty years ago, and is not
nearly completed yet. It is being
built for the Nation, as St, Peni's
and Westminster in England. I at-
tended service in one of its chapels
in which were laid to rest the re-
mains of President Wilson and Ad-
miral Dewey.
Indicative of the Nation's estima-
tion of its founder, the Washington
monument towers to a height of 555
feet. It is 55 feet square at its
base 34 feet at the top and termin-
ates in a pyramid of pure aluminum.
The foundation of rock and cemeet
is 36 feet deep and 126 feet square.
It is the highest work or masonry
in the world.
Across Tidal Basin, and mirrored
in its placid surface, stands the Lin- :
cola Memorial. It is modeled after
a classic Greek Temple and presents
a very chaste and beautifuly appear-
ance, a fitting testimony to the char-
acter o ftho man in whose honor it
was raised.
Just across tht' Potomac, in Vir-•
ginia, is the Arlington National
Cemetery. The estate was formerly
owned by General Lee of Civil War
fame. In it is the Memorial Ampi-
.heatre, a white marble building with
a seating capacity of 5,000 in the
I ainpitheatre proper and several thou -
ands more "its the colonades. It
was built in honor of the dead
oeoes of the nation. In this come-
few years ago, I am told, Alen,
dria was the most finished city in
the country. It had ceased to grow.
I know another place like that, 1t
is in Canada.
George Washington inherited the
estate of Mount Vernon frons Law-
erence Washington, his half-brother.
It then comprised 5000 acres, to
which he added 3000 acres, making
8090 acres in all. It is most pictur-
esquely situated upon the southern
shore of the Potomac, and from the
front porch of the Mansion, a won-
derful view of its broad expanse can
be seen for some miles up stream.
At Martha Washington's death,
scarcely two years after her illust-
rious husband's, the estate descend
ed to a nephew, and the furniture to
four gmandehildren. Taus were
things scattered,
Some years ago, about 300 acres
were bought back by the D. A. 1t.

as much as possible to its former con-
dition, The buildings and grounds
were repaired and today Mrs, Wash-
ington's box -bordered flower beds
are to be seen looking just as she left.
them.
The Mansion itself is a large white
building with a colonial porch sup.
ported by large pillars extending a-
cross the entire front. The stone for
the floor of the porch was brought
over from England. There are 18
rooms 6 on each floor. On the first
floor are a parlor, music room, fain
ily dining room, Mrs. Washington's
sittingroom, the Library and a large
banqueting room. The next two
floor's are divided into bedrooms -6
on each floor. So the Washington's
must have kept open house in those
good old hospitable colonial days.
The kitchen and servants quarters
were separate from the house.
The Mansion today is completelycompletelyfurnished with the original furne.h-
ings bought back, donated or loaned
or with furnishings contemporaneo're
with that period.
Space will net permit me to dwell
upon any detailed description of the
place. A peaceful, lovely spirit
seems to brood over the place. One
feels so far removed from the pre-
_ sent day grind after the material
things of life, which this generation
seems to think is so necessary to hap.

Following a walk leading from
the mansion to the little wharf, we

another direction. Following it eve

succeeding generations who lived
there,
1 Last Sunday evening it was pri-
viiage to meet and listen to Rev.
Geo. McNeal, pastor of City Road
Temple (John Wesley's church) ill
London, England. in the course of
his remarks, he said that the United
States was destined to become trio
greatest nation in the world. Now
that seemed et first to be a strong
statement to come from the lips of u
son of the Great British Empire, nia
on whose shores the sun never sets,
and the greatest Empire the world
has yet known. But in the history
of the world, nations rise and wane,
no matter how great, One genera-
tion of great men and women sueetuls
another; every one in its time and
according to the needs of the world.
Who shall say that this country
shall not take first place in the near
future.
j The American nation has been
wonderfully progressive and sues'
essful and they are a great-hearted
people, giving of their abundance
with an open hand to any need. Its
national life is builded upon the
foundations of some of the best fam-
ilies from the British Isles, who had
faith and courage enough to emigra-
te to a new country in order to bet-
ter their conditions.
The. chief corner -stone of that
foundation is George Washington,
God-fearing Englishman gentleman,
"first in war—first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his country-
men. "
Upon this has beeen placed the
lives of some of the greatest (and
some of the worst) of all the nations
of the earth, who have soueht this
land in order to be free to make the
best of their lives, unfettered by
customs and traditions of the osis
lands.
As cousins, we'll forget the old
family feud which is out dated any-
way and wish them well.
As Canadians with our proud heri-
tage of birth, and wonderful vine
country just filled with resources, not
yet dreamed of by many, we know
that some day, if we use our birth-
right es God intended we should,
we shall be a great nation . But we
are just in our infancy yet. But
just watch us grow one of th,'se
times.
We notice with some alarm bore,
the wholesale breaking of a couple
of the Commandments. There seam
to be greater numbers of people a-
round the movie doors on Sunday
evenings, than around church doors.
I have not visited the former on
Sunday's but find the churches not
too well filled as they are in our
Canadian cities.
Then there is the growing divorce
question. It would seem to a
stranger here that people are either
happily married or divorced. Per -
