MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONS:—The following changes in . the
law affecting municipal corporations and members of councils Were
brought about,
(1) In 19.18 an amendment was made, tyle effect of which was
to disqualify a member of the council from being a member of a
local Board of Health, or of' a Good Roads Commission, or of any
other commission appointed by the council. It was found that this
amendment went too far, and iii 1919 the disqualification was limited
to commissions for the management and control of a public utility
as defined by The Public Utilities Act. Last Session this disqualifica-
tion was done away with entirely, the effect of which was to restore
the old law underWliich any officer, employee or servant of the cor-
poration is ineligible to be elected .a member of the council. Under
the Public Utilities. Act no metnber of 'the council, except the head
can be tt member of a Public Utility Commission.

Something to Be Thankful For
Some ratepayers of town, "holler” a-
bout the high tax rate, etc—but when
you think of it—Clinton has a very low
assessment and overcinafts are practic-
ally unheard of, Listowel Council has
'an overdraft of 513,000 and the School
130a•d of 55,000. Kincardine Is over-
drawn by the -tidy sum 'cif 526,903,36
and the Electric Light and Water Cool -
'mission in the same tows has a deficit
of S 10,71s,07 Even some other towns
in Huron have nothing to boost of.
Clinton can still hold her, own with the
best of them,.
