ON FEBRUARY 16TH
A by-election will be held Feb. 16
in Huron electoral district to 'fill the
goat in the Ontario Legislature left
vacant by the death last month of
Dr. R. Hobbs 'Taylor, Progressive Con-
servative, and some sources have re-
garded it as an indication there will
be no general election in the -province
this year.
Other observers say. if the Govern-
ment wins' this by-election, •a general
election might be called- later this
year.
"Since this government" took office,
the people of Huron have been well
represented by Dr. Taylor, who was
one of the most effective and"consci-
entious members of the legislature,"
Premier Drew remarked in his state-
ment. "It is therefore desirable that a
by-election be held at the earliest
possible dateso that Huron may be
represented at the coming session of
the legislature."
It had been predicted that the see.
sion will start early in February, but
no official date has been set. The
House generally convenes about Six
weeks before Easter which is Mar. 21.
Inn the 1945 election Dr. Taylor
polled 7,081 votes, compared with
5,152 for Liberal candidate James Bal-
lantyne and 1,211 for J. B. Huckius,

All members were present. Mayor
M. A. Reid presided,
Meeting opened with a short skirm-
ish about the court of revision. Coun
eillor Wallace Ross suggested five
'ratepayers be the court of revision'
Members.
Reeve Frank Sills made a motion
thatmembers of council act on the
court of revision es in the Bast:
Several councillors favored the mo-
tion, stating that council should as-
sume responsibility for tlne court
of revision. -
Councillor Beating asked if it would
be possible to get five ratepayers out-
side of the council to act as a court of
revision.
The motion was carried.
Mayor Reid: pointed out that in any
case citizens could appeal to the
judge from decisions of the court of
revision.'
Councillor Christie inquired if it
would be necessary to sell bonds to
provide over $7,500 in cash required
for the purchase of the fire truck
Treasurer D. H. Wilson said the town
had sufficient cash onlnand at present.
Mayor Reid remarked that the
town's Victory bonds had depreciated
in value about $30 per •$1,000 -bond
this month,
Councillor Bev. Christie told coon.
oil that the structural steel for add-
ing Support to the fireball floor had
been delivered. It is new steel obtain.
ed through the kindness of Mr. Earl
Bell. The beams are in 20 foot
lengths. Six beams were purchased.
The price, $0.50 cwt., is the same as
council was quoted for used steel in
16 foot lengths, which would require
welding,
Councillor William Teall suggested
building cement piers or pillars in the
basement of the town ball and plac-
ing tour of the beams on them to sup-
port the floor in the flrehall. The
other two beans will be used for lin-
tels far the doorway which wiil be
over 14 feet wide.
Council authorized the property
committee to draw up specifications
for the .work and call for tenders.
Storage on the new truck is costing
$1 a day.'
The - property committee will also
look after retu'ranging the partitions
in the police room to give more space.
Councillor Close said the matter of
wood piled on a town street belonging
to John Regior lasil been turned over
t0 the solicitor for action.
Councillor Close said he had had
complaints that snow on the Main
street sidewalks was not shovelled off
Promptly opposite a few properties.
Council decided a bylaw could 110t be
passed for Main street only, Tlie
street committee Will look into this.
Mayor Reid said he had been asked
why the old fire truck had been taken
to recent fires instead of the new one.
Councillors: decided it was force of
habil as the old truck is still in the
firehall, The new truck is in Mel
Clarke's garage and readily, available.
Reeve Sills said it was time to re -
Lorin the lire brigade. He suggested
the brigade be cut down to 13 mem-
bers and each be paid $35 a year.
There are about. 20 members al pres-
ent. Mr. Sills thought council should
have direct authority over the bri-
gade. At present council has authority
only over the fire chief. The Reeve
said the town noW ]las expensive fire
equipmen t and should matte adequate
provision for its care and use.
Mayor Reid suggested .that the five
and water committee meet the fire-
men and discuss things.

were looked after by the street fore
man. Sometimes the snow 'plow ha,s
buried a hydrant under snow.

street foreman will become the road
foreman.
Councillor McMaster; 'Do.' not de-
signate hint (Road Superintendent;' o•
you lose the power to discharge him,''
The Scott Memorial Hospital Board
wrote to council proposing that ,See -
forth council suggest to Huron Coun-
ty council that a 1/: nii11 levy be made
by the county for hospital purposes.
The levy of Mmill by the county
on all property in the county would
raise :about $13,500-, which could be.
divided among the four hospitals in
the county on the basis of the number
of beds in each hospital.
Reeve Sills said he would lay the
Matter before the County council next
Week. 'I -le pointed 'oat that the munici-
palities in the south of the county
lately would oppose such a levy as
there is no hospital in the south of
the county.
Councillor McMaster said a levy by
the county would relieve the hospital
boards of the nnecessity'of begging for
grants from the municipalities Which
sent patients.
It was pointed out the grants of
$25,000 made to the various hospitals
for building expansion had been rais-
ed by a. %-mill levy.
There was, much discussion, about
indigent patients in the hospitals.

In February 1947 a new slate .of
officers was elected to relieve those
who carried on so faithfully during
the war years. The annual Member-

to $51.94. With this money a num-
ber of necessary 'articles were
bought for the nursery. Some re-
decorating was also done. A number
of rooms were redecorated by the
former sponsor's. From this time un-
til early fall ladies from each church
formed a sewing committee and
mended and made new articles for
the hospital at the nurses residence
every Wednesday afternoon. In May
our main objective was Hospital
Day, With spring flowers arrayed
throughout the hospital and nurses
residence many people were taken
through the .hospital after which
they were entertained at a tea serv-
ed in the nurses residence. Many
gifts were received which were
gratefully acknowledged. During
July and August 00 meetings were
held. Work commencing again in

ing to $11.50
