Continued from Page Two. +G * The county property con mittee had visited the jail and found everything clean and homelike. The gaoler asks fol material to build a new close fence along the street, and the committee recommended the same; visited the magistrate's office and found all things in good condition, The magis- trate informs us there is no insurance on. fixtures and we recantmoud' action Ibe taken; we recommend the purchase of a new adding machine ;for the treas- urer, The county clerk has already re- ceived a typewriter; on visiting the registry office we found the purchase of a rack as recommended, in January owing to the desire of the registrar land committee to 'save 'space by the .purchase rather of a counter or part .of a complete fitting throughout, 'which council must expect shortly. IIn the torrid heat of the hot June day Thursday afternoon, members of the county council'puit dignity in the 'background byremoving' their coat; +and some of their collar -s. •Thr county, treasurer, Gordion Young presented the estimates in , which he. forecasted reduced expendi- tures' in Criminal Justice, schodls mu- ni'cip'al 'government and several oth- er , departments. I -le said any saving, effected would be offset with increas- ,ed obli,ga'tio•ns wihich the county mast undertake this year. He said the pat- riotic debentures fall du . this year and a del8cit of $117,00a on the Provincial 'highway account. He stated that 'n 'vie'w of the decreased number of (house ofrefuge inmates the revenue ;from the Old .Age Pension woulld be down.' At . one time there were 5'S in - ;mates receiving pensions, naw there, are 37. The county receives $18 out of $20 .pen:sion oif each. 15u -taming up, he reco'mntended.. a rate of six nolilis the amine as last year, distributed as 'follows.:' , General purp- oses, 4 instead of 3195, county highway 1' 'instead of '1i/.; Provincial highways 11 mill unchanged,.: 'The county has just received word from Hon L, Macaulay, Minister of Highways that Huron County this }ear will] be allowed $912,:000 instead' of ($1715;400 as fixed so'me, time ago in, a letter from the .Deipartntent. 'The county 'hi9ltlw'ay estimates were based Ott the '$92,000. . (Over an hour was -given to the con- , sideration of county finances respect- ing the audit by the county auditor, mheu the fin'ance'con'mittee reco'm- mend'edthat the auditor's report of 7191312 showing $3,S&8:02 outstanding cheques, a discrepancy of I1,4i24.61 in ,this year's cheques, be dealt with in open council. The auditor explained that the dis- crepancy was lafgely due to his inab- ility to ifind' vouchers ` :and intimated tlat the -book-keeping system' was an- t.quated. "I am willing to stand be- hind the epprox'niate aecunacy 'of the audit w so far as a :nen couldpro- duce from a system of book-keeping you have had in vogue in 'Huron county for the gist <f{'fty years, but a new system has been adopted by which the treasurer wi111 be able to balance this !book every month,aand di've,.a .,complete summary at lthe end of the year.

The Secondary !School Teachers (formed ,a union which is nothing more ,than a trade union to keep salaries up. ,A few years ago the LAlssociate'd' School Boards formed an association to fight fight this federation to bring about an equaliza- tion 'of salaries.

Men receiv- ing 'galleries should riot charge $7.50 and travelling, expenses. The associa- tion is gathering information on this. Col, 'Contibe and ex -'Reeve ;Hender- son also spoke. The latter said the child is going where he can get the beslt education, The standard ,must be kept up. 4 don't see 'why people in the ootulltry should take a poorer class of schooling ,than in the 'cities," he dec- lared.

Reeves Archibald and 'MdKihbou supported the committee's report. The motion by Reeves Mc- Nabb and Hemingway that the clause be struck out was lost on the follow- ing division:.

The report carried as follows: We audited the several accounts and ordered ,payment of same.

Friday. (Huron county council concluded the June session Friday. It was "clean-ulp"1 day, and m9'ch business was transact- ed. The county nate was fixed at six mills, made up as follows: 3:8,m611s for general account; 11 mill for ,Pro'vi-racial 'Highway and 162 mills for county roads. - The question •o,f' securing ,the sere- ices of chartered .accountants= to audit 'the books and put them in tt:p to date shape was discussed, introduced by 'Reeve Elliott. The 'Warden stressed the importance of the audit, and the opinion -of some members was that it should' .go back prior to .the time of the, appointment of the present treas- urer, in fairness to Mr. 'Young and this involved the question of what it would cost to do so and a new .sys- tem installed. Others favored starting the audit at the first of the year. St' was finally left with She warden's committee to engage chartered ac- countants, the audit to be under the sulpervislion of that committee. ;An amendment to this motion by Reeves Leiper and 'Shveitzer, that a six months' audit be made by county auditors Booth and Higgins was lost on division. t! letter was read from 'Sheriff Mid- dleton. advisih;; council that his attene tion had been called to an. article which appeared in a ,London morning paper referring to Reeve Scott's' in- quiry regarding $'1:0 appearing as a charge for driving a Supreme Court judge to Stratford toa catch a train.
