Now also was the time to clean up the $15,000 which had been ineur- red several years ago. Following the request of the county council the commission would spend up to the 2 -mill highway rate and would then stop work. The work of the Children's Shelter committee was one which imposed qui:e a burden on the county. A spe- cial meeting had been necessary to consider the case of a family with seven children in an institution in London at the expense of this county. Mr. Edwards was sent- to London and a special arrangement was made whereby six of the children were taken care of for $30 a week end the youngest was brought back to this county. To have looked after this family in the shelter here would have necessitated the appointment' of an assistant matron of the shelter. A meeting was held at the County Honie last Friday. The agricultural representative was asking for ten acres of land for demonstration pur- poses. The county hone needed all its present land. but 46 acres to the nortlrieast of the home could be pur- chased, but he felt it might be better to rent this land for five years or, take an option on it rather than purchase at the present time. The Old Age Pension scheme had resulted in 567 applications being re- ceived for the pension so far. 156 new applications had been received since f)acrmber. 436 had been grant- ed by the Provincial authorities and 60 more had passed the county com- mittee. The pension fund was cost- ing the county $1,600 .a month and the expense so far would take a half mill on the assessment to meet. There had been a great deal of ori 'te'sm of the pension committee for rue number .;E times they met and for :he amount they received, but the Warden said he would sooner sit on any other county committee at $3 a lav than on this committee at $10 a day. on account of the unpleasantnes's and hard feelings occasioned by the taming down of applications that a member felt he could not honestly ee ommend. $10 a day for committee meetings and $4 a day for time spent ;n estigations and ten cents a mile for av elling he said wes less than the 83 a day and.20 cents a mile s:a:ed by the court judge as a fair al- :ew'an ce fer such committees. The time was not far distant the Warden thought, when we would re- quire a second traffic cop for the county. for the work in the south of the county kept him busy and there shira11 be another officer for the a .rth. It may be as has often been stated :hat county councils are losing a lot of their former powers but if they are :hey are certainly watching -the legi- aation that goes into effect at Toron- :, and petitions from other counties ter c .-operation in memorializing the Orgii'ature are a regular part of every session of the county council nag.The United counties of Nor- thumberland and Durham ask Huron County to co-operate in asking the Legislature to relieve the counties of contributions to the Old Age Pea- =ions. "Wentworth county wants the legislature to assume the whole cost of Provincial Highways, Lincoln county ' wants all registrations pi births made in the municipality in which the parents reside, And so it goes. All such communications were, referred to the Legislation committee, new committee organized a year pr two ago. The provincial grant on highway work done last year amounts to $86,- 466.72, 86;466.72, The 01d Age Pension committee reported three meetings since .Jan- uary and 1512 cases dealt with, an average of 313 per meeting, average per meeting since the Actcame into farce, 32. In all 570 cases have been dealt with, 436 of these being grant- ed, and these with the number seat down will bring the number of pen- sioners in the county in Juneup to 500. In the House of Refuge we have 50 pensioners all getting the full 9005100 of $20 per month. This means a total of of $12,000 of which the county refunds $2 per month, or $1,200, leaving the county $10,800. 'The total pay/teats made to pension- ers during the working of the act are as follows: 306 November payments, ..4 5,771.75 339 December payments 6,816.43 results, Sheep dipping and parasite destruction were being carried on with wonderfully .good results. . - A ]notion by Mr. McKibbon, sec= onded by Mr. Ing -les, that the council put on record Its high appreciation of the work bons in the county by Mr. McCague and its sincere regret that he was giving tip the work, was car- ried with applause. , Mr. Goyenlock, inspector of the, House of Refuge, spoke very encour- agingly of that institution and said the old age pension scheme had work- ed out very satisfactorily, each inmate pensioned would get the full $20 a month, of which. $18 was retained by, the county and $2 given to the inmate. This was a very satisfactory business arrangement and the inmates were well sa ti sifted. A letter from 5• G. Staaibury, of. Exeter, with reference to )payments to the Old Age Pension committee was sent to the executive committee. A petition. presented by Mr, Arm- strong from a large number of rate- payers on behalf of a lady in Hallett township who was deserted, asking the county to render assistance, was filed for future reference. Mr. Armstrong enquired .when the change in the payment to school in- spectors by the Province instead of by the County came into effect and was informed that July 1st, 1930, was the date. Mr, Trewartha 'brought up -the mat- ter of payment to committees and. thought that some action should be taken to Blake the same uniform and suggested a bylaw. The Warden re- ferred to the same matter and a gen- eral discussion took place onthe work and pay of a committee man. The Warden commented that the u work of a committee man took p a great deal more time than the days of meeting. The matter of equalization was set- tled, after discussion, by leaning it the same as in 1929 Francis an Higgins trove re nest the Highways Department to continue this year the pavement soul o Exeter,fire miles to complete the pavement between London and Clinton -Sent to ways and means committee.

The Legislation 'committee recom- mended concurrence in the petition of the United Counties .of North -timber- land and Durham to relieve all coup; ties of all expenses in connection with rhe administration and • payment of old age pensions. and this Was adopt- ed; but another recommendation of the committee that.the council en- dorse the resolution of Middlesex 7,841.98 M-essrs, d H'gg' d county council to ask the Province to 7,588.06 that the council q h H'gi assume the hill cost of Provincial 8,985.63 Highways. was not concurred in.

Also that By - taw No. 6 of the Township of Howick of 1930 be confirmed by a by-law of thecounty council. The report of the county auditors for 1929 showed the standing of coun- ty finances and stated, "We believe :he deficits in the finances, which have no: alt been evade during the past few years should not be allowed to con - :nue. and that the county council should as early as possible take some definite action to clear away this en- umbrance and start on some system Which will meet our obligations front -.. - _ _ _ oe year as they occur, We find made as lar as possible. e •_ a nr treasurer's books in good condi The jailer reported 53 prisoners ac -1 ._ .. - -rd the work being capably car P milled. during the past five nia:t:its., a.__. �_ 1 :•u:.

The'House of Refuge committee re- ported.the -house and grounds in good coalition. The floors in the toilets had been replaced with terrazzo, which was a wonderful invprovemei6t. There were 51 inmates receiving old age pensions, 47 of the cheques coming payable to the county treasurer and the others to the inmates and the committee sInangly. recommended that they should all be made payable to the county treasurer. Some che- ques hod come for inmates who had passed away and it 'was recommended that these be disconbinued. Mr. Gib- bons had offered. to sell 45 acres of land adjoining the county home for $3,000 -after the harvesting of the crop or $3,500 including the crop -and the committee reconlimended that if the land could be purchased ,for $2000 it would be advisable to buy it; if not perhaps it could be rented for a term of years. The committee recommend- ed the -erection of a tower for the pur- pose of drawing the pipes out of the well in case of anything going wrong with the pump. ,Also that in cases of death in the home the body be' taken to the deceased's home cemetery if he had ane, if not that a plot be procured in Clinton cemetery. Another recom- mendation, that the treasurer deposit the old age pension cheques in the , Clinton bank to the credit of the home-4 was not concurred in. The County Roads Commission re- ported ordinary maintenance carried out and the roads in good condition as to surface; reported attending the Good Roads convention and while there looking at machinery. The re- port continued,'"4Ve Sind that the de - least fourfold ir•>m some pariment is naw more favorable to- ward the addition of roads tothe county road system and we recom- mend that a bylaw be ,passed designat- ing the road between concessions 9 and 10, Grey, and the road between concessions 5 and 6, Morris. son that we carry aecid_at and ea_no. 1 animals.

'The committee of ways and means recommended a tax -rate of 7 trills (3% for general county rate, 2 for county roads, 1 for provincial high- ways and fl for Old Age Pensions, and that $100,000 10 -year 'debentures be sold to wipe out the Provincial Highway indebtedness. At the opening session of the coun- cil on Tuesday afternoon, a letter from Mr, Robert Higgins, Reeve of Hensall. about the costs assessed him in the appeal case against hint at Toronto was head and referred to committee, This was the appeal against his taking his seat at the county council and at the same time receiving pay as a member of the Old Age Pensions committee. The case being a test case be thought the Pro- vince should stand the cost. Notice was received from the High- ways Department announcing the tak- ing over by the Department of the road allowance between the counties of Huron and Bruce, dating frons March 12th, 1930, also the taking over of the road allowance from Clinton to the road allowance between lots 15 and 16 on the 1st concession of the Township of Culross in Bruce.—Filed. An appeal signed by W. H. Middle- ton; W. H. Lobb and three others against the decision of .Goderich town- ship council in refusing to form a new school section in said township, was sent to the education committee. Petitions signed by John Harris, D. M. Lindsay, C. B. Middleton and 105. others requesting the county council to take n0 action re the petition of W, H. Lobb and others regarding the formation of a new school section in Goderich Tp. were sent to the Educa- tion Department. A report of the Education Depaet- ment showed the atnottnt of grants to the public schools to be $2,017:82. and to separate schools, $9085. A request frompolice the village of Gorrie to the township council of Howick was to appoint 'Oliver Gallo- way as county constable for the coun- ty of Huron to act„specialty ire and for the village, i Mr. Hammond, representing the National Institute for the Blind at Toronto made a very touching appeal for further assistance to that institu- tion, going very fully into the good work accomplished by the institution in the interests of the blind. ,, Mr. M'cCague announced that he was about to leave his presentwork as agricultural representative in the county and introduced Mr McLeod as his successor. The Warden said the council .re- gretted very much Mr. McCague`s de- termination to leave the county work bet welcomed Mr. McLeod as . his successor. Mr. McdLeod then went into the work that would be 'attempt- ed this year. Drainage was one of the matters to be dealt with though the County of Huron did not need it as badly as others. Drainage was one of the greatest advantages to crop pro- duction. The matter of fertilizers was another important matter and Mr. McLeod explained the work that was being carried on to. determine the best fertilizers by meansorf plots on which they would be tested as to their suitability to the soils.
