• All Accounts Show Surplus.
• That all accounts for 1934 show a
surplus was announced by County
Treasurer Erskine an Wednesday.
The General account closed the year
with a cash balance of $6,304.16, in
addition to this there is owing the re-
bate on the October quarter of the
Administration a Justice; also hos-
vital accounts owing by municipalit-
ies.
"The Provincial Highway account
had a cash balance of $1,220.48. The
County Highways account has an es-
timated surplus of $2,518,36. On these
accounts the total surplus is $10,043.-
00 after paying off $45,000 of a car-
ryover from 1933. The county is
therefore $55,043.00 better off than a
year ago at this time. When it is con-
sidered that this has been accomplish-
ed without an increase in the mill rate

ed change in Huron County finances,"
said Mr, Erskine.
TJuder the heading of Inquiries, the
matter of grants to Public Libraries
arose, Reeve Hanley stating that in
former years grants were given to
libraries but of late they have been
cut off and certain libraries, such as
the oue at Varna, have had a 'great
srtuggie to keep functioning.
Peter Scott explained that he had
been chairman of that committee the
year that the grants were cut off and
that this had.been done because some
were found to have a surplus. Other
