BLYTH DOCTOR
VICTIM OF ATTACK
Or. W. J. Milne Slugged On Head
With Stick Of Wood
• Police are investigating a mysteri-
ous attack made Friday night: on Dr.
W. J. Milne, at Blyth.
• The doctor had just stepped out of
his car in his garage when an unkown
man slugged him on the head from
behind with a chunk of hardwood.
The victim fell as he turned toward
the house. The thug ran.
It is thought by authorities that
robbery was not the motive. Although
Dr. Milne, had a large sum of.money
in his pockets, no attempt was made
to take it. The night was very dark
and the only clue is that the thug
wore an imitation fur coat,
Apart from the bump on the head,
there are no injuries, Dr. Milne is dis-
turbed over the affair. If he has en-
emies, he says, he does not know of
them.

HURON COUNTY
• TURNS DEFICIT
INTO SURPLUS
Auditors' Report Shows County in
Wonderful Financial Positions,
With a number of Ontario munici-
palities in defaultaof their principal
and interest payments on debentures
and others facing a similar situation,.
the good old Coenty of Huron, some
times refereed to as being behind the
times and old fashioned, greatly
proved its financial position in 1934.
and was never in better shape. This.
was revealed in the auditor's repeert of
F. P. Gibbs, made public Monday..
Four years ago a retrenchment
Program was instituted and. a pay-
as-you-go policy adopted, a policy the
Ontario Goverrunent is terging upon
municipalities today.
The auditor's report shows that the
excess in 1934 of current revenue ov-
er expenditures was $40,727.47, an im-
provement of $24,228,84 over 1933.
The current deficit of $83,707.34 as
at December 31, .1988, has been ab-
sorbed and a current surplus of $5,-
616.49 set tin, so there has been a net
current improvement in the county's
financial surplus of $39,323.83. Ar-.
rears'of taxes have also been material-
ly reduced. Bank loatis have been re-
duced from $105,000 to $58,000 and
$2,000 less interest was paid in 1934
than in the year previous.
All through the exhaustive report
is reassuring .and optimistic and the
system. of .accounting installed last
year is praised as being conducted in
an able manner by E. H. Erskine, the
county treasurer.
