HURON COUNTY COUNCIL
Closing Session of xgee , County
Council
Thi: December session 'of the Hur-
on County Council opened: on Tues-
day afternoon, with all the members
present. Warden Klopp, in his open-
ing remarks ;said; .
"Gentlemen, it is a pleasure to be
assembled here agin at the county
seat of our grand old county of Hur-
on. It is also pleasing to see you all
present. I am satisfied that you
all have discharged your duties
faithfully and honestly. This has
been a' busy year. The different
.com.mittees were very 'diligent with
their work, which made my duties
were large in connection with some
of our county properties. The dif-
ferent committees felt the importance
and the necessity to recommend the
different improvements and repairs,
to keep the county properties up to
a'certaini standard, which will be an
asset to the county.
"The valu4tor's report in connect,
•ion with the new equalization was a
difficult matter to adjust to the satis-
faction of all concerned. I am pleas
ed to state; by getting together
shoulder to shoulder, we were able
m roc a'satisfactory .equalize -
to a fairly
tion.
"The Good Roads Commission met
at regular times' to check pay sheets
and order the payments and tried to
be very exact with their work; which
is very important, owing tothe very
large expenditure required to keep up
our roads, safe for' the large amount
of traffic. The work of maintenance
and construction was inspected at
different intervals, The same was
satisfactory and well done. This
year's program, as outlined at the
beginning of the year, is almost cone-
,pieted and I feel and believe to the
satisfaction of all, concerned.
"The road and bridge committee
inspected the county' bridges and the
approaches and the particulars will
be included in their report.
"The House of Refuge committee
met. at Clinton for the regular meet-
ings. It was necessary. to hold three
special meetings owing to the large
amount of improvements at . the
caunty home: Your committee found
itnecessary to have the retain wing
of the hone ref -wired. On having
,an inspection made the wiring was
found' defective and not safe. The
painting was fund necessary to pro-
.tect the wood -work from going to
ruin, also other repairs were needed.
Your committee also realized the ne-
,cessity of having the home rodded, a
protection against electric storms
and a safeguard to life and property..
The repairs and improvements made
here at the court house and Child-
ren's Shelter may be. inspected by
all while you are here at this session.
"To the finance committee I' beg
to 'say that they should further dis-
,cussrthe importance of the present
legislation regardinng indigents in
hospitals, which are charged to the
county. It would be better to revert
to the former system to have 'the
townships or municipalities charged:
Y believe it will be a better way to
keep in tourch with the patients re-
qoiringand deserving assistance.
`We have some very important
'work to do at this session. You all
knew that . our worthy friend, the
treasurer,. Mr. Lan; has decided to
m
of office. I a
.
n his. reins
laydown I
sure I will voice the sentiments
of
everyone in saying that weare e"-
ttemely sorry to have him quit 'this
office. He has been a faithful work-
? eeneedia always to the • best interests
'of the county.
"Mr. Torrance has also decided, to
lay down his reins of office. He also
has been a worthy friend and faith-
ful worker and deeply interested
with our county home also with the
tare of the needy and unfortunate
folk of our county, He always work-
ed to the best interest of the home
and the county.
"It is to be hoped that we will be
able to appoint suitable persons to
fill these positions, ,and by the num-
Beer of applicants we have to' select
from there is no doubt that we can
fill both positions' with well-qualified
persons,
"I made Several visits at the Child -
