Lettersfrom .MTS. A. E. Baeker, Brussels, and Ws. J.A.I Irwin x n and 'Dr,' A. W. Irwin, acknowledging let-• ters' of condolence were received and filed., A. H, U, Colquhonn, Deputy Minis- ter of Education, wrote informing council that the legislative grant ap- portioned to rural and public schools for 1931 in the _County of Huron for equipment to which, under the Schools -Act the county council is re- quiied to raise an equivalent,• is for the public achols $1,842,89, and for separate schools $137.50, Filed. The Western Ontario Chamber of Commerce wrote announcing their next meeting in Owen Sound on June 18, 19, and 20 and asking representa- tion. This was filed. Mothers .Allowance ,Report ' on Mothers' Allowance matters was submitted by 'Mr. Hol- man for the past five months: The total receiving .the, mother's allow- ance, the last payment," was 55 and the payments were as follows: one received per month, $15; four at $20; 10 at $25;19 at $30 10 at $35; seven at $40; one at $45; one at $50; two at $55; 56 at $1750 from county and province, each bearing 50. per cent or $8'75, or an average of $32' per month to each mother in all. ,The total number's who have received the allowance fro -in the county since the act was put in force 11 years. ago is 154, ninety of whom having ceased to be claims. Of the first 53 granted. the allowance, only one, No. 26, is left. The graduation of the grants is based on several matters, The num- ber of children under 16 years, gen- eral circumstances of the mother as to a home or no .home paying rents and amounts. Attempts have been made by dep- utations from urban centres to have the basis of grant reduced to one child instead of two, but this has been refused, chiefly owing to the increased pension involved, and in the majority of cases one child it has been ascertained, was more of a sour than a hindrance. This report concluded with words of nraise for the services tend^red to the county by 1VIrs. R. M. Gra- ham, inspector in the district, who suffered a nervous breakdown and after a rest has been tarnsforred to South Western Ontario. Her niece has been taken by Mrs. Tel- fer of Toronto. who has won con- fidence and esteem. This report was filed, Thomas H. Fenner of the General Accident Assurance Company of Canada reported the .holler in the eeurt house in good condition,— Filed. The county of Lincoln' asked sup- port of a resolution to have the pro- vincial government pay 80 per cent, of the salaries of weed inspectors i•, the various municipalities, Re- ferred to Legislative committee, Another resolution from Linenhn expressed onposition to the principles jlaid down..In the amendment to the 7Tiohway Improvement Act whereby the powers of the coup^it are dele- goted to a committee, the nersnnnel of which committee may be nem- resed of other than members of the The County Council Economy, reduction of expenditur- •es was the keynote of the resolutions presented at the opening of the June meeting of the Huron County Council on Tuesday afternoon•of last week. Warden Beattie welcomed Council- lor Ritchie, who had been ill during the January session and mentioned with regret the death of former War- den Baeker of Brussels and Judge Lewis. He also congragulated County Crown 'Attorney D. E. Holmes and Judge Castello, He also 'com- mented upon the fact that all but seven of the councillors had taken their full salary for the last session, in spite of the five percent. reduc-' tion passed by the council. In view cf the uncertainty, he said, no reduc- tions had :leen made for the first three months but since April first the clerk and treasurer had been giv- en the five percent. cut. This _un- certainty must be cleared up, he said. He was personally not in favor of a sessional cut in members' pay, he said, The warden told the council' that after' some hesitancy and investiga- tion he had given his assent to holding Huron County' Home com- ing Weekly, July 1 to 8. He had -not committed the county to any. expense in connection therewith. He had communicated with Thom- as McMillan and George Spotton, Members for North and South Hur- on, who had interviewed PI;omier Bennett regarding the return of 517,- 0 0, 17,-000, the residue of all the estate of the late William Scott, which he had bequeathed to the Minister of Finance of Canada to be used for the relief , of destitute widows and orphans of soldiers, The minister said he had no power to change the will but would have the money earmarked for Huron County purposes. Wednesday being the Kings birth-' day; the warden suggested that coin-' •.oil take a half holiday and visit all the institutions.'. Judge Costello, recently appointed. . Judge of Huron County, was present ' and was welcomed by the warden, who invited him to address the cum - 'oil, Judge Costello said he believed Huron County is one of the best and he was more than pleased that he was appointed to the bench here. The county is composed of a number of thriving towns. and villages and •Goderich was a beauty spot. He ex- pressed his pleasure in the welcome the had received at the•hands of the. officials of the county. His honor j said he hoped to move his famPy to Goderich in a week or two, and ex- pressed his appreciation of the re- noviationof the judge's room, The clerk of Napanee wrote en- closing a ,resolution asking the De- partment to instruct traffic officers to desist] from asking to see licenses, unless there is some special reason making it necessary. A letter from the Deputy Provin- cial Secretary respecting county sal- aries stated the only items the Gov- eminent would be interested in were those effecting goal salaries and that it is not perntissable for the council to reduce gaol .salaries with- out consent of the department. The department feels, speaking in general terms, that goal officials are far from overpaid. The salaries have not been increased to any great extent in roeont: years of high prices. The goal officials of the County of Huron receive: Gaoler, with residence, fuel, light, etc., 51,000, matron, $225; goal physician, $120; turnkey, without re- sidence, fuel, etc., 5050.—(Sent to the Executive Committee.

The total receipts from all sources was 5345.83, the total ex- penditures being 5267.73. A letter from J. T. Simpson, coun- ty clerk of Simcoe County, enclos- ed a copy of report by the stand- ing committee on Roads and Bridges: "That we have very carefully con- eidered •the -resolution passed liy the council of the County of Huron at their December, 1930, session in connection with the request of the City of Guelnh and other cites for relief from all suburban' road assess- ment. Also the 'last clause of the rosoiu- tion relating • to the increased stib- eidy on county roads has been con- sidered and 'we would strongly re- commend that the principles of the i above resolution should deceive the hearty approval mid endorsation of this county council, , Wednesday ' Wednesday m,orninfr, June 3rd, be- ing the birthday. of King George V, the session was opened by singing the Nat;oval Anthem and it was ole cided to knock off during the after- noon and visit the .county ,institu- tions. The members took up a collec- tion. for the purpose of providing 0 treat for the residents of the County I Home. i3. J. Bowman who wee en Tuesday elected reeve of Brussels, was wel- coined by - the "warden and be was placed on the educational and war- den's committees. The report of the Children's Simi- I ter was read and Inseector Edwards • was questioned regarding his own , salary : and expenditures .generally.: Besides his salary of $1,000 and a free hduse, Mr:. Edwards , received $300 for expenses and $6b0 from the Government. for enforcing n the "Un - Married' narried' Parents' Act." The Shelter costs some $5,000 per . year. The eonmittee reported o d the institution on iii excellent shape. The County Heine committee re- ported things in good shape at the Home, The home is well kept and the inmates happy. Owing to the dif- ficulty, of obtaining help the com- mittee had purchased an ,electric ir- oning 'machine at a cost of $240, which the matron reported as work- ing excellently. Some more land is to be tented acres the road, as more hay and pasture is needed, Some small repairs tothe house' were re- commended and as the cemetery is now discontinued and the gravis. there are: in a neglected state the committee recomnn'ended that the place be inuprdved. On motion of two members it was decided that the -place be fenced, a monument be erec- ted with the names of those buried and the spot be kept in proper.man- per Ohr Age Pensions A conuprehenisve and informative report of the Old Age Pensions com- mittee- was given by Mr. Borman, chairman and . was adopted as read, The number of new applicants . re- ecived since Dec. 31, 1930 was 78 but a number of applicationscarried ov- er from December meetings made the total number considered and re- considered 125 or 25 for each of four meetings held; of these 95 were sub- mitted to your committee of 1931 and dealt with. The committee as of the opinion +hat the new method of pooling the liquid assets of husband and wife and working the same out on the an- nuity basis is a big improvement as the pension -in this way is based on a mathematical calculation and will be definite and fair to all, and also eliminate any possibility of a charge of favoritism toward any applicant. ' The committee also approves of the method of asking a return of paid pensions where such is possible, as the same will have a tendeny to avoid the method resorted to of con- cealment of financial capacities or transfei;S in name only but not in fact, and more care will be given' in Diapering the statements contained in the application when it is known that any default. will prejudice any chance of success and will receive a careful checking up. It has often been pointed out that children are' liable for their parents under the Maintenance of Parents Act, whereby any sons or daughters who have property in their own name are liable. That is the Act and there are so many unwilling, and have been brought into court in certain parts f a the ro inc p v e but not in IIwren, The part of the Act is hard to " en- force and sometimes works .a grave injustice: We cannotnot follow the chil- dren, il- dren. outside the province, and there are families iii Huron where most of the family, who are able, live in the: United States or in other prov- inces, and it is very unfair to make those in Ontario pay for the whole family, n y. We cannot collect frehi a daughter who is inarried well off, unless she has means in her own right as we can't compel a son-in-law to keep his wife's parents: Whenever this meth- od has been tried out, it has caused very Much litigation, separated fam- ilies, made them bad friends, and with the result that only some can be realized on, hence, the resort to the other safeguard to secure pro- per accounting. .
