Edwards said the Department requires a trained social worker which the local society argues against, because of the increased cost, The objection of the department to the office being in the same room as that of the magistrate's had been overcome by having an office opened at the shelter.

Tt was refused by the latter and the platter was referred to the municipal board for arbitration. .Frank -Donnelly, solicitor for the Godet•Ich Rural, argued that the re- fusal of the franchise would pet his company in a compromised, bargain- ing position in the arbitration. He announced that he had received a permit from the municipal board for a renewal of the franchise for thirty years. R. C. Hays, county solicitor, advis- ed it was a matter of policy, not u legal one, The engineer, he said, saw 110 great objection. He had been told there would be no duplication of poles, which must be erected at the pleasure of the council, Reeve Fwagau, of Colborn~: "We have three county roads in Colborne and have 110 objection to a trunk line, but can see 110 reason to grant a franchise on all three roads."
