WARDEN ADDRESSES lafternoon for the .December meeting.
COUNTY COUNCIL AT The 'members gathered under the
OPENING OF SESSION shadow of the death 'of Reeve Chas.
B. Snell of Exeter, which occurred
suddenly and unexpectedly on Mon -
The county council Met in session clay morning. Appropriate reference
at the court house, Goderich, last to the passing of their colleague was
week, having convened on Tuesday made in a resolution adopted by the
:RyriV__i�.Vrl�+PiUq�y_riiyq!yi�iLi i� vV_t�?
council, and it was resolved to send
a letter of condolence to Mrs. Snell
and a wreath for the funeral. The
council also decided to adjourn over
Wednesday afternoon in order to at-
tend the funeral..
When the -roll' was called all the
seats were filled with the exception
of that of the member from, Exeter.
Warden Inglis in addressing the
council spoke feelingly with reference
to the sudden passing of Reeve Snell.
He said that their late colleague had
by his quiet and unassuming, but gen-
ial, manner and his diligent attention
to business made friends of the whole
council, and his work on the council
board .tivas such as to reflect credit
on the municipality ,which be repres-
ented.
Continuing his address, the Warden
said that'since the June meeting the
county had gathered a ood harvest:
Taking one year with another•i. Hur-,
on had been favored with. good wea-
ther conditions and its people had
been favored with much to be' thank-'
ful for in, this regard, for conditions
Prevailing in many''parts of the 'West
were causing much hardship.
The old -age pensions scheme had
been introduced through the commit-
tee appointed for that purpose at the
June session, and had been thorough-
ly and efficiently carried out. Some
criticism had been indulged in regard-.
ing the .cost, but considering the work
necessary and actually performed by
the committee he thought such crit-
icism was not in order. He believed
the committee had been very diligent,
had spent much time, and had been
very faithful and thorough in the dis-
charge of their duties, and the re-
port to be presented would show that
the working out of the scheme in-
volved much more trouble and ex-
penditure of time than people ima-
gined.
Referring to the financial condition
of the county, the Warden pointed
out that expenditures had grown very
materially during the last seven. years, II
and the increase had -been due chiefly
to two causes, the cost of secondary
education, and the cost of Provincial i
highways. These expenditures were I
entirely beyond the control of the
county council, but had to be met by
cbu.nty levy. The council,had been
trying to meet these increased ex-
penditures and at the same time pay
off the wartime debentures on a six-
mill levy, but had found this to be
absolutely impossible; hence the in-
crease of the county levy from six
to seven mills. •The Warden believed
the general opinion was factorable to
the pay -as -we -go system, by which
the county wouldavoid the further
issue of debentures, and .the council
was encouraged in pursuing this
course by the Hon. G. S. Henry, Pro-
vincial Minister of Highways, and
others high in the highway financing
problem. At the last convention of
the Ontario Good Roads Association
it was held on high authority that
the pay -as -we -go system was to be
preferred for three main reasons:
1. There is less tendency to extra-
vagance'.
2. At least forty per cent, more
money is required to 'build the same
mileage under the long payment sys-

3. The roads will be fully paid for
when finished and will not have to
be rebuilt before payment is complet-
ed, as is often the case in conncetion
with the debenture system of pay-
ment. .
This council, of course, the Warden
remarked, would not be called upon
to make schemes for the incoming
council, but whatever arrangemets
were made he hoped the council
would be able to adopt some method
without introducing long term pay-
ments to burden the future genera-
tion, which would have its own prob-
lems of financing. •
Another matter calling for the at-
tention of the council was that relat-
ing to hospital payments for indigent
patients. The Warden considered
that with four well-equipped hospi-
tals in the county these patients sure-
ly could be provided for within the
county, and though this might not
materially lessen the cost, the money
raised in our own county taxes would
be paid to our own county instititu-
tions. The Warden said he would
strongly recommend an improvement
in the Act whereby these cases would
be under the control of the county
authorities.
The Warden concluded an admir-
able address by expressing a wish for
hearty co-operation and faithful con-
sideration by the members of the
council of all matters submitted
