AUDITOR COMMENDS TREASURER ERSKINE Frank P. Gibbs, ;C.A., Stratford, auditor of Huron 'County, has com- pleted his report for the past year indicating Huron finances are in ex- cellentcondition. During the year the excess of cur- rent revenue over current expenditure amounted to $40,7211.47, an i'm'prove- mert of $24,228.84 over 1932. • The current .delfieit, which amount- ed to $33,707.34 as of Dieeernlber 31, 1933, has been absorbed and a cur- rent sutplus 'orf $5,616.49 now exists, so that there has been • a net . im'prove- went in • tlhe county's financial posi- tion of $39,323.83. Tax Arrears Reduced The arrears of taxes in the hands of the Treasurer for collection have been materially reduced ,during the year, says the 'auditor, and the sys- tem of recording arrears and penal- ties thereon has been greatly improv- ed. All monies due to the various Municipalities on, ebllections during 1934 had been remitted to them at December 31st. e. • ,Included in the report is praise for the manner in which Mr. Erskine, county treasurer, has conducted the bookkeeping during the year. Cer- tain refinements suggested by the treasurer were introduced during the year. Bank Loans Down Bank loan's during 1934 were practically cut in two, the report Shows. At, 'Decem'ber /31, 1934, the loans were only $58,000.00 as com- pared with $105,000.00 •at the same date in 1933. The demand loan in- terest paid in 1934 is less than that paid in 1933- by $1,917.59, "indicat- ing that careful attention has been given to financing during the year." • Blyth Doctor Slugged Over Head Police are investigating a myster- ious attack znad'e Friday on Dr. W. J. Milne, at Blyth. The doctor had just stepped out of his car in his garage to enter the ho'u'se, when an unidentified man sur- denly came from behind and slugged the physician over the head with a chum: of wood. The victim of the blow fell as he ran toward the house but the thug did not follow him. The doctor sounded an alarm but there was no one in the house at shortly after nine o'clock when the attack was made. It is stated by authorities that rob- bery was not the motive because Dr: Milne• had a large sum of irony in his pockets and no attempt was to take it. The .scene of the attack was dark and the only clue is that the thug were an imitation fur coat. . Apart from the bunip on the head., there are no injuries, although Dr. Milne is much shaken up over the affair. If he has enemies,. he says, he does not 'knb+w of them, STANLEY The regular meeting of the 'W 1M. S. of Goshen United Church was held recently in the oleinch. The presi- dent, Mrs. B.
