For want of a better explanation we will attribute 'the cause to economic con- ditions,". said Mr. Spotton. "How- ever, there is certain work I would Geo. W.

I refer to the question of di - Financial Condition Improved .A considerable . improvement in county finances— a betterment of some 328,000 was reported by Treas- urer Gordon Young in his review of the year 1930 before the county coun- cil Wednesday afternoon. The coun- ty roads commission spent ent $20 000 less than its estimates .during the year and a further saving of 38,000 was effected on general account by the practice of rigid economy. "Gen- eral account" includes everything but county and Provincial roads. During the year the Provincial indebtedness was consolidated by the issue of 3100,000 debentures. Lia- bilities under the heading. of Provin- cial highway account are shown as: 1930 expenditures, 357,821; back in- terest owing, 31,488; annual princi- pal and interest payment on deben- tures, 312.960; total, $72,258. To off- set this there is $25,125 in the bank and the proposed 1931 levy of 344,- 271, a .total of 369,386. The net de- ficit is therefore ,$2,972.

Mr. Spotton went on to say that he had been embarrassed by the re- ciept of letters calling his attention to isolated cases of distress in rural communities and the fact that nei- ther the townships nor the county qualified under the relief scheme of public works because they were in receipt of subsidies from the Pro- vince. The North Huron member con- firmed this ruling, but emphasized that townships were not barred from receiving direct relief, not charity, ender, the Federal scheme, for which twenty million »dollars bad been set aside. It was the policy of the Gov- _erninent, he said, that no Canadian should suffer from the lack of the necessaries of life: Tho Dominion and Provincial Governments, he said would give dollar for dollar with a township; If, for instance, a town- ship granted 3100 for relief, 5200 additional Would be forthcoming. Ex- penditures to share in this scheme must be over and above what was spent for a .similar • purpose last year. Mr. Spotton produced a mem- ber of agreement forms -which he had brought from Toronto and which were distributed among members of the council to take home with them.
