ing licences which were supposed

ment.

Church, Clinton, Wednesday
evening lest, by E. R. Meadows,
Hespeler, District Conservation

siderable inconvenience to many
persons who had made arrange-
ments at an earlier date, and
were forced to change them. He
congratulated the ASsociation on
the fine work it is doing in con-
serving wild life.
A - total of 182 members and

for conservation of forests and
wild life.

face these days. The reason is
that Maitland Edgar, shifty

Hugh Campbell Public School,
Clinton RCAF Station. Until June,
he 'taught in Goderich Township.

thought the present system satis-
factory.
Public School Board
A, F. Cudmore, chairman of
the Public School Board, pre-
sented a financial statement to
date showing expenditures at
$28,843.65 and an estimated bal-
ance at end of year of $959.75.
Plans for the new school are
in the hands of the architects,
go to the Municipal Board; and
then tenders will be called, he
said.
"The architects claim we can
be well under our estimate of
$300,000, likely $275,000 with
$20,000 for the old building," he
said. Compigtion date 'likely
would be January 1, 1953.
R. Y. Hattin
Ex -Mayor R. Y. Hattin paid
he was not satisfied at. all with
the financing. It wasn't a very
authentic report, because all the
expenditures were not contained
in it. '
The present Council had re-
ceived $9,200 from' Central l fort -
gage Corporation. Where . had it
gone? "I don't agree with rais-
in the mill rate eight mills. That's
the first time, there has been
any money back since I came to
Council.
"Regardless of who runs this
Council, you've got to get the
money in to pay it out."
Mr. Hattin referred to his term
of office of Meyer. Being Mayor
is a heavy load to carry, he
averred.
Mr. Hattin stated that Mayor
Nott had raised the mill rate
eight mills. In addition, there
is this, extra $9,200.
"The way you get acclama-
tions apparently is to raise the
mill rate," he declared. The re-
port is right; I wouldn't take a
million dollars and say it's wrong.
It's a jumbled affair."
. Bert Glidden said he did not
intend to run for Mayor.
J. W. Nediger
John W. Nediger, candidate for
Deputy Reeve, stated he had
served seven years as councillor,
and felt his experience should
be of some benefit to the town
in 1952-
A. J. McMurray and R. S.
Atkey, candidates for the Public
Utilities Commission. spoke
briefly.
The meeting came to a close
shortly after 11 p.m.

from Radford and Grigg., One
was going' to use used umber
and the other, new, end he pre-
ferred new lumber. The Grigg
family had paid taxes to the
towship for a long time. Bill.
Grigg •would( stand behind it.
"I think you have a building
that will stand for quite a few
years,". he said. It was good
value at $6,500, half of which
would come beck from Govern-
ment subsidies.

Coun. Laithwaite just wonder-
ed about all these thousands of
dollars spent on the County
Home. He wondered if the peo-
ple living there did the work at
the Home or were they paid it,
Howard Sturdy, tax collector,
replied to a question regarding
assessment on a property owned
by Diok McLennan, R. E. Thomp-
son, township clerk, also spoke
on the matter.
Jti'hn W. Deeves
John W. Deeves recalled that
he had been on the Council when
the grader was bought.' He
thought the shed was a good in-
vestment, although it may have
been cheaper. Tentest should have
been put on the roof in the first
place.
"I don't think we're going far
enough in our widening," he
thought. "They should be wid-
ened more. ,Perhaps a power
mower would help to cut the
weeds."
He thought it was good business
to purchase gravel from the
Potter pit. He defended the
Federation levy of two-fifths
mill.

A. T. Rathwell
Arnold Rathwell commented
that Council had done a very
good job and didn't think his
name would be on the ballot.
G. W. Nott, nominated for
Council, extended a welcome in
behalf of the Town of Clinton.
He said he had paid taxes in
Goderich Township for ten years.
He complimented the County
Council on its decision to build
an additoin to the County Home.
Local hospitals were almost be-
coming old people's homes, so it
was a good idea.
Regarding the County Health
Unit, sixty-five per'' cent of the
people of Ontario are under these
health plans.
School Trustees
Walter Forbes said he had en-
joyed the work very much as
school trustee for four years. He
regretted that not many took an
interest in school board work.
It was hard to control expend-
itures. If you go. to hire a teacher,
she tells you what you will pay
her. He said he didn't want to
act again on the Board and if
anybody else wanted the job, he
would be glad to give it up.
Robert Welsh, a trustee for six
years, said new blood might be
a good thing.
"Our school work has been
very interesting, and I feel. we
are rendering a service to ,the
community. We are carrying on
the work started by our fore-
bears."
He said he took a great deal
of interest in the children. It
was the way to prepare for fu-
ture generations,
Tow,,shin Clerk, R. E. Thomp-
son, declared the three school
trustees elected by acclamation.
He mentioned hail insurance and
deer shooting. If the township
wanted these, the people should
make their wishes known to
Council.
Fire protection was another
problem and he wondered if some
arrangement could be made. The
Township now paid a grant to
Bayfield Fire Department.
Mayor Nott said the Town of
Clinton fire equipment would be
available within a certain radius.
