The Municipality of the Town of
;Seaforth is of the opinion that the
present provisions of the Public
Health Act governing theadmission
and payment for the treatment and
care of indigent persons in Hospitals
are a'bso'lutely unfair to the Munici-
palities who are asked to pay and
should be changed. The 'County of
Huron is charging back to individnai
municipal 'corporations in the County
one-halfof the cost of indigent pat-
ients in Hospitals including tubercu-
lar paticits in outside or Provincial
Hospitals, and apparently the 'Town
has no say in the matter except pay,
This is of course an .impossible situ-
ation. We think the perthission of the
Town Council or its official should
be obtained before any indigent pat-
ient from a Town is admitted; sec-
ondly, we think that tubercular pat-
ients in an oultside or Provincial sani-
tarium should be wholly paid by the
County or Province.
A similar motion was passed thy
Godorich Council and forwarded ,to
Hon. Dr. Robb, Minister of Health
at Toronto, last month,
(Bolton -(Hudson, that we adjourn
this meeting until the call of the
Mayor.

ereaux. Criticisms and appreciations
of ,Charles Dickens was the subject of

!Leary. A c`oinic dramatic sketch taken
from Pickwick Papers, "Sans Welder's
Valentine," was staged by E. Rey-
nolds with I. O'Leary as Sam Weller.

season with the Red Wings has not
only become a real favorite, bet has
endeared himself to all the fans and
