YI*, XtC FINAL MEETING OF COUNTY COUNCIL (Continued from page 6) That the Crown Attorney has re- .•ceived for the first nine months of the year $4,113.10; the Sheriff in fee $871.22 besides salary; the coun- ty constable, Thos. Gundry, Ilas re- ceived$1,086.66; the Warden, Crown Attorney, 'Sheriff and Treasurer in 1931 $164.20 for the selecting of jur •ors. 'We also find other things in like proportion and we, recommend: That this County Council petition the Government to have fees and sal- aries of the Crown Attorney, Sher- iff and all other fees in connection with the Criminal Justice substant- ially reduced to correspond with the present conditions. Carried. We also recommend that County -!Constable Thos. Gundry be relieved of his duties: in this county. Carried. We recommend that no criminal justice accounts be paid by the County Treasurer before they have *one before the Criminal Audit and Q,K.d by the committee. Carried. We further recommend that the selection of jurors be allowed four clays only for selecting jurors at $4.00 per day. Carried. Report of committee re stenogra- phy was carried as follows: According to your instructions we 'have made enquiry into the natter •of' stenography in connection with the administration of justice in this 'county. We were shown the Order in Council dated Aug. 11 appointing Miss Edna Webb, now Mrs. J, B. .Reynolds, court stenographer for the county. We were also shown the tariff of fees for court work of this kind. We were also informed by Mrs. Reynolds, that she had appoint-, .ed Miss Olive Schoenals as her de- puty and paid her personally for her services. Also that Miss Schoenal's name should not appear in county accounts under administration of jus- tice as receiving pay unless as the Deputy Court stenographer. Mrs. Reynolds also informed us that she is, Matron of Huron County Jail. Froin the information received to date we feel the rate of pay for these services should be materially lowered during this time of depres- sion, and further that the remunera- tion should come from the same source as the appointment. We re- commend that this Council invite other counties to join in making a request to the Ontario i?,egislature to give local automony to the counties in :this province regarding these ap- pointments. Another clause asking that the stenographer in the Engnieer's off- ice be required to combine her dut- ies with the stenographic work in the clerk's office was struck out as the work of the former required all her time. Deputation From Goderich Mayor C. C. Lee headed a deputa- tion from Goderich, the members of which spoke in protest on the recent action of the Department to do away with training schools in smaller hos- pitals. The Council went on record as. strongly disapproving of the action of the Provincial Government in or- dering the discontinuance of a train- ing school in small hospitals that have lived tip previously way to all government regarding same. H. T. Edwards, Supt. of the Child- ren's Aid Society, gave a verbal re- port which covered that given by the Children's Shelter Committee. There are fifteen children in the shelter ranging in age from 16 to one year. Mr. Edwards eulogizccL' the work of the Lion's Clubs on behalf of the crippled children. Reeve Sweitzer said no better cause can 'be helped than assisting Mr. Edwards. County. Engineer Roy Patterson reviewed the year's operations. Road Committee The County Road .Committee re- in every regulations ported that the program of works set forth in June has been nearly completed and it is expected there will be a surplus of $1,000 at the end of the year:. Economies have been effected in nearly :all departments, Particularly in gravel pits' where the cost of operating crushers have been cut nearly 50 per cent. Chiefly by the, installation of draglines. " Elliott—Gamble, .moved that a vote of appreciation be given to Jno,' McKenzie for his able., and conscient- ious: services at this Council, and on the County Road Commission. 'rhe Friday morning session was largely taken up with discussion on the report of : the Good Roads Corn - mission; which recommended that that the County pay for the gravel taken` from the Benmiller Road "and the doubt as to the ownership of it. Reeve Haake declared there was no doubt Goderich Township owned the gravel pit, read minutes of previ- ous Council meetings and maintained they should be paid for the gravel taken. Reeve McKibbon moved that $125 be paid as "more than that am- ount has been wasted discussing it." ]finally the report was adopted. Reports of Committees The report of the House of Re- fuge Committee was carried as fol- lows: There are at 'present 91 in- mates in the House. During the year there were fourteen deaths.

The Warden gave a verbal re - would never forget the, hearty co- operation he had received from "the chosen people of this county," of which he was proud to be a ratepay- er and warden. The qdestion of certifying ac- counts for indigents in hospitals caused some discussion. The remun- eration of the corn -borer inspector and the certification of his accounts caused many questions. Reeve Smith asked on whose authority was the bill paid and the Warden said it was on his. In the last minute the subject of mileage was introduced by Reeve Scott, and after discussion Warden Rader asked that the question be considered by the January session.

Then — whether the Gift is :home- made or bought—wrap it as soon as you have it ready at hand. Blake 'your Gifts individual—some- thing you know the recipient has personal desire for—something you know she or he will appreciate riot only for its worth, but for the true Christmas spirit in which it is given.

And as well night unbreakable as possible—so that the children may find delight- in then for a long time to • come.
