Reeve Reports In his report to the meeting on County af- fairs, Reeve Armstrong, in connection withhie duties as chairman of the Agriculture Committee of Huron County Council, discussed warble fly eradication and described one treatment used on 'Manitoulin Island for eradication of the warble fly and lice at one time. The Reeve said, there were only two seed cleaning plants in the County, at Benmiller and Exeter. The Depart- ment recommended others and would grant $250 for this purpose. The County had bought 225 acres for reforestation purposes, Reeve Armstrong said. The Government would look after planting and pay cost of the scheme and if the county did not wish to hold the property, the Province would take it over and pay for the land. Discussing Township affairs, the Reeve said some school sections had levied for too much because they had not taken into account the 50 per cent rebate from the Ontario -Govern-' went. Mr. Armstrong told of the Town- ship Council's trip to Torontoto secure 20 per cent rebate on Pollard Honorary presidents, George Reid, Drain, the' cost of which would bo and Elmer Webster (retiring secre- $13,359.
