In answer to an inquiry, "Are.the county constables suspended yet?" the police committee reported that a letter had been addressed to Judge T. M. Costello requesting that all con- stables but two be relieved of their duties and that all badges, revolvers, etc., be returned to the county; a copy of the letter to 'be forwarded to Attorney -General Gordon Conant. Conflicting information contained in letters from Stratford regarding accommodation for the County Coun- cil, for the royal visit was referred to Clerk J. NI, Roberts, to seek further information. The following corres- pondence was read and sent to the committees designated: An acknowl- edgment of resolution passed by the Huron County Council with respect to the Lord's Day Act and promising consideration by the government. Fil- ed, Front the deputy -minister of Lands and Forests acknowledging a emotion adopted by the County Council in ;Tanttary which suggested an amendment to the existing law re- garding t fi'ardin'g reforestation toprovide t v 100 acre 'blocks ,in each township be reforested under government super- vision, advised that the centre of ob- jection to such an amendment lies in the fact that too much expenditure would be entailed in supervision and an increase in overhead such as fencing, '"The primary reason," the letter read, ..for offering such a sug- ;'ested amendment is clue to the in- ability of the county to acquire com- posite blocks of 1000 acres in extent. We have one county that was in that position and an arrangement ; was made whereby'•tiue department su'p- plied the trees and supervised the planting of individual areas such as you suggest, but the department did not assume any responsibility what- ever for fencing or for general super- vision throughout the year. If coun- ties are prepared to accept the full responsibility of fencing and general supervision and otherwise regularly maintaining the plantations, there would be less criticism of the pro- posal,"—Sent to agricultural commit- tee. Serious consideration is promised by Attorney -General's department to resolution.—=Filed, Resolution from the County of Lennox and Addington re charge of maintenance of wards 'by Children's Aid Societies, read: ''Whereas, there are many good available homes in this county where neglected or needy children can be maintained for 40 cents per day per child, therefore, be it resolved that this county pay no more than 50c per day per child to the Lennox and Addington Children's Aid Society on and after April 1, 1939. —Sent to Children's Shelter Com- mittee.
