Reynolds, giving the past six months' report, re commit- meat ommitmeat to the goal for various offences Two petitions signed by ratepayers of Clinton;' Hullett and Goderich townships, asking for action in •keep- ing open a Certain portion of road known as Vinegar Hill—Sent to Good Ronde Commission. The. Warden addressed the Coun- cil .at oun-cil.at some length dealing with., the Various Phases of county work as presented to him or as had come un- der his observation during the pest year, After noting the fact of this being the close of his municipal car- eer, having disposed of his property in Stephen and had conte to Gocier•ieh. Id live, he felt that this year would close his active operations in munici- pal affairs. He paid a very glowing tribute to the life' and work of the late Frank McQuaid and then took op 'the matters he deemed the Court- ty Coimcil \would be most interested in, , He touched on the 'cost Of educa- tion and mentioned the fact that we were, in :his opinion, paying too much attention toe educating young people 'were- deprived . of each grants al - merits, instead of for the require- ments of the great number of our young people, who should receive more practical • education, more ,in keeping with their needs. Re also spoke of the need of distributing school -grants per the, population in- stead of the present teethed, which Penalized small towns -because they tried to get beyond the village status. It was very unfair t°o call towns like Clinton and Seaforth, villages; be- cause they had populations of less than 2,000, and give them larger grants, while Winghain'and Goderich for university or professional require together. IIe referred to the indigent legis- lation,' whereby the county finances are at the mercy of a mere declara- tion of Indigence on the part of the party seeking treatment,- Thei.'e should be a form or method of ad- mission similar to that employed in admitting s ittin inmate -to the House of Refuge and that all 'indigents should be placed in their own hospitaIs. The service the county is getting for stenographer work was -next touched on and ' he thauglrt this branch of the county official service was very -unsatisfactory, as he found the stenographer in the office of the Court Clerk, which is a provincial of- fice, collected` the sum of nearly 81,300 from the county this year for doing county work and for which we received no ,percentage returns what- ever .and • sortie'' stenographer looking for wort. was deprived of a job. He thought it would be in the best inter - este of the county to employ. a stenographer independent of .the province, who 'could take .charge of county work and act 2or=the Judge, Crown Attorney, Cleric and Treasurer instead of paying an office for this work, which was not 'doing county work, and suggested the appointment. of al 'committee to• collect information and rnuort at the Januarymeeting of council;' 4i' i.',: ;r The 'Warden also'. referred to the large expense involved ail+the upkeep of the -provincial offices in�the Court Fljecuse, li•om which the countyreceiv ed no returns whatever,"as°it does in the case of the Goal and the High ways Department, in both of which we receive from the province -liberal percentage returns. I -Ie thought if the county providedtheoffices, the furniture, heat, light, water and care- taking, the province should provide the rest Of 'the upkeep, as stationery, telephone, etc., as the Province and the officials in charge received all the emoluments, fees and other income. In other words the office was purely Provincial and rendered no service to the county. - The Warden also referred to the importance of appointing a constable' under tate. Liquor Control Ad, where- by the fines imposed ander his in- vestigatien wlmld come: to the Comi- ty, : whereas under the present meth- od wearelosing hundreds of dollars every year, He said his information.' is that we have lett since June ap- proximately '$300. Mr. Baeker:brought up the matter of reduced insurance rates on ''the House of Refuge buildings, which had been promised by agents, He was informed that no reductions had been. made,.' MoSed by J. W.
