COUNTY COUNCIL (Continued from page Two) here. Reeve MCKibbon, of Wingham, chairman of. the committee, said that planations given to questions asked yesterday and considered that .'these matters should be made known to the public. It would clear the air of many ugly rumors, it was explained by the Warden. Much. of today's ses- sion was taken up with the presenta- tion of 'county officers' reports. Would. Ban Snowplows A resolution asking that Provincial snowplows be kept off the highways this winter in the interest of econ- omy was sent to the good roads corn- m'tf,ee. Council unanimously passed a mo- tion calling the attention of the gov- ernment to the fact that this year it spent over $44,000 (one mill) on the highways in Huron county, which is a breach of a verbalagreementwhich the council made with Hon. G. A. Henry when he was Minister of Highways. Concluding Session The county council at its conclud- ing session, by a vote of 21 to 7, endorsed a motion of Reeves McNab and Geiger asking the Provincial. Inspector Fairful had told him that .Government not toundertake any he (Fairful) had instructions not to paving in. Huron County until condi- tion are improved. The yeas and nays were 'called. for on the division. The council concluded -its 1931 delib- erations in the evening. The council also decided not to do any snowplowing on county roads this winter, but left thequestion of to reduce the age qualification to for- keeping Provincial highways open to ty years. This should make a lot of the discretion of .the Government. The vote was 15 to 9. A clause in the legislative commit- tee's report asking that doctors or confer arconsult county old age pen- - sion boards in the course of his inves- tigations. The suggestions to reduce the age qualification was held up to ridicule by one councillor after another.
