HURON COUNTY 'COUNCIL IIOL'D LAST
MEETING
An -Almost -Balanced Budget Achieved.
Huron County Council held its last
meeting for 1936 in the court house,
Godertch, last week.
In making his report Treasurer -Er-
skine gave an encouraging review of
the year's finances. A. deficit of
$4,650 remains, which is considered a;
small one. But for the cost of the rd -
ministration of justice, nnfoneseen,
there would have been a slight siirphis.
This favorable result, the treasurer
said, was in no small measure the re-
sult of "untiring energy on the part
of Warden Bowman" The warden
had' said at the beginning of the year
that the budget insist be balanced,
and this was accomplished but for the
above amount.
The iluron County Home is an in-
stitution in the county, too, which has
been paying its way. It closes the
year with a bank balance of $3,000.
Arrangements have been made with
the Queen Alexandria Sanatarium to
dismiss several patients now in the
institution, who will return periodical-
ly for examination and treatment.
This will effect a considerable sav-
ing.
Agricultural Representative Ian
MacLeod advised the council to go
slowly in the matter•of sponsoring a
test of dairy cows in an endeavor to
eradicate buicella abortus, the cause
of undulent fever in human beings.
And which medical men say has been
recurring in this county. Mr. Mac -i
Leod, although in sympathy with the
movement, said such a test would no
doubt result in the destroying of
many beasts for which no provisipn
has been made for compensation to
owners.
County Engineer Patterson said
that lack of funds had prohibited
much work on roads. New work had
been very small while maintenance
had been restricted. Ten miles of
road had been treated with salt,I
which seemed to be satisfactory. He
reported that this road dried out very
quickly after rain. He also called at -I
tention to the menace of poles on our;
highways. He thought the policy of
saving on roads was a short-sighted
It is not yet too late to take advan-
tage of low interest 'rates, and I am
still of the opinion that the County
should borrow, a considerable sum of
money,—say $150,000 for road pur-
poses. This, with the subsidy, would
place an all -year surface on a eon
siderablbe mileage of our country
roads; rebuild several of our old
bridges that are falling down; and
pay for other improvements that have
been postponed from year to year."
Mr, H. L. Cuming, deputy minister
of municipal affairs, addressed the
council at some Iength, on Wednes-
day afternoon.
A motion was passed asking Brus-
sels to return Warden Bowman for
1937 so that the: council might have
the benefit of his experience at the
council table. •
R. J. Deachman, M.P. for North
Huron, who is a man of ,figures, ad-
dressed the council on monetary mat-
ters.
Mr. J. R. Stirling, Goderich town-
ship orchardist, addressed the coun-
cil on the apple maggot question. He
advised that all 'hawthorn trees be
cut down, as they are breeding places
for this pest.
The Education committee recom-
mended that the council put on record
to Dr. J. M. Field, inspector for East
Huron, a vote of appreciation of his
long and faithful service in the coun-
ty.
On motion of Councillors Mathieson
and Scott, the incoming council was
recommended to place on stated saI-
ary. Traffic Officer Norman Lever.
The Warden entertained the mem-
bers to dinner on Thursday evening,
when a very .pleasant time was spent.
Before adjournment the members
honored Warden Bowman with the
presentation of a gold -headed cane
and an address inwhich they paid tri-
bute to his fine executive ability and
sterling qualities. With Reeve Elliott
in the chair the presentation was
made by Reeves Cardiff and Owen
Geiger. As the latter handed the
cane to the warden he remarked:

offers life-long efficiency
THE first time you hear the 1937 Westinghouse World
Cruiser you'll be delighted with its realism of tone . .
its razor -edge selectivity ... its all round efficiency!
Even after years of use this radio will still be giving exactly
the same efficient performance . For Westinghouse per-
formance is "stabilized." Its precision engineering features
are permanently correct.
Magnetite core I.F. transformers, for example, are oscillo-
graph tested then factory sealed . . . The air trimmer
condensers can never get out of alignment ... The all -metal
construction of the Westinghouse radiotrons (including the
new Beam Ray Power tube) assures•dependable service.
These and many other 1937 Blue Ribbon features backed by
Westinghouse skill and craftsmanship offer the utmost in
radio entertainment now and for years to come!
