Qoi ty of Huron was, adequately po-
lioed -to meet the needs of the coun-
ty. He also inquired if tike officers
presently employed were receiving
sufficient remuneration, apart from
their salaries, to meet travelling ex-
penses. This inquiiry was deferred
temporarily pending the report of the
Police Committee as it was felt this
report would eover •the inquiry.
Reeve Weir inquired as •to the sal-
ary of the Matron at the Gaol and
asked if it was ueoessauy to employ
an assistant matron. on occasions.
The answer supplied the Matron's
salary and it was stated there were
oases Where tbe cervixes of an as-
sistant matron are required, especial-
ly where prisoners required full time
attention.

ty council deeply deplores the rough,
d'angerou.s and dusty condition of the
Blue Water Highway during the past

condition is materially improved the
whole effort of the past 20 years to
popularize this scenic •highway, will
be wasted with great foss to the coun-
ty, of its second largest industry, the
touring business,, We, therefore, urge
the Provincial Highways to finish the
surfacing of this road from Sarnia to
Grand Bend and from Bayfield to 1 in-
cand5ne during the coming year. That

ed to tho Minister of Highways and

accurate and painstaking manner in

complimented Mr. Patterson on the
able way in which the policy was
handled in the county. He stated it
would appear as though the weed
spraydmg policy in the county this
year 'had been done In a satisfactory
manner and next year satisfactory re -
suits will be ,in evidence. He pointed
out the advantages of using the
Stephen Weed Killer and oleo point-
ed out that there were certain things
that were wrong with it; for,instanee,
the kind of sulphate that is usedi con-
tained too much free aeid and too
much abnasive material for the good
of the spraying machines, so it was
decided to ua,e a different make of
ammonium sulphate which is the Ele-
phant Brand made synthetically by
the, Consolidated Smelting and Min-
ing Company of Trail, B. C. There
were a number of questions asked en
how best to kill bindweed by spray-
ing. Questions were also asked on
the cost of spraying weeds • on roads
and elsewhere. He ,pointed out by'us-
ing the Stephen Weed Killer this year
in this province, at least seventy-five
thousand. dollars had been saved, as
.compared with what it would have
cost ,had chemical weed' preparations
formerly on the market been used.
Dr. Stephens also pointed out that in
1937 in Ontario 300,000 pounds of
weed killers of all kinds were used.
In 1938 669,000 pounds, and in 1939`
of Stephen Weed Killer alone, over
two million pounds were used. He
complimented the county on its sound
financial standing due to the fore-
sight of and the wisdom of the pres-
ent council and tpreviaus councils.
, Mr. Erskine, County ' Treasurer,
spoke to the members in respect to
additional help in his office. Follow-
ing his remarks, the following motion
was read: J. H. Scott - E. D. Brown:
That •the Executive Committee con-
sider
onsider the request of the county treas-
urer for extra help in the treasurer's
office.
Reeve Gamble inquired what prob-
abilities there were of having the
Provincial Plowing Match Held in
Huron. In reply to his inquiry, Reeve
Cardiff stated that ,the Agricultural
Committee's report, when it was read
would deal with the question.
Reeve Weir inquired if in view of
the war?ld situation, it would not be
wise to curtail road expenditures as
much as possible.
Mr. Fellows, Highway Engineer, ad-
dressed council briefly, paying tribute
to the County Engineer, Mr. Patter-
son, for hits splendid services during
the year just passed, and he thanked
the Road, Committee •for their good
services and thanked the county coun-
cil membbers for their cooperation.

ment officials would be at the Court
House in Goderiob to set up a new
system of bookkeeping, to which he
in'vited the attendance, particularly
of the township officials.

Bank of Montreal Reports
Expansion of Business with
Assets Over:Billion Mark
Outstanding of the features of the
Bank of Montreal's annual statement,
just issued, is the assets figure reach-
ing over a billion dollars -a figure
that is not only the highest in the
long career of this 122-yearold, in-
stitution, but a record in Canadian
banking history. The statement,
which is for the year to October 31,
is published with •the description "in
easily understandable form," the var-
ious items of the balance sheet being
accompanied by explanatory state-
ments.
Characteristically strong, strong, the bank's
statement this year shows more than
usual expansion in the more import-
ant headings, -with commercial loans
up nearly $30,000,000-a reflection of
the extent to w'hich the bank has
been assisting the industry and com-
merce of the country, These loans
amount to $220,548,911.
Notwithstanding this widening of
credit, the statement showy no im-
pairment in the bank's liquidity; in
fact, its quickly available resources,
standing at $742,03,867, are at a
slightly higher percentage in relation
to •public liabilities, the ratio being
78.20 per cent., compared with 77.80
per rent. 12 months ago.
With total assets amounting to $1,-
025,508,367, and liabilities to the pub-
lic standing at $948,02,921, the ex-
cess of assets amounts to $77,005,446,
which represents the shareholders'
interest in the bank. This is made
up of the,.,capital subscribed, the re-
serve fund, the ,undivided • profits and
reserves for dividends, otter all of
which the public liabillties take prece-
dence.
As is to be expected with the sub-
etantially higher assets, deposits show
a oonsiderable enlargement, standing
at $914,909,050 -also a record figure
-as against $763,15.6,945 in 1938.
Much of this increase is reflected in
the banir.'s portfolio of government se -
boties, which, with other .high-grade
, ameutn-t to $517,171,255, as
compared with $440,736,820 a year
ago., Holdings of stocks total $470,-
131:
The heading under resources
"MVbouey on Deposit with Other Banks"
chows an appreciable lttereas6 over
tide fi,gure,-01 a year ago When it
to •$33,943,063. 'thio year
•
the figure is $77,357,497 -and the en-
largement at this time is probably
indicative of special banking transac-
tions.
Of the remaining 'headings in the
balance sheet, none show any sub-
stantial change from those of 1938,
except call loans winch, both in Can-
ada and abroad, have decreased,
those at borne amounting to $4,573,-
822 against $5,374,980, while those a-
broad at $19,142,173 are down by
$2,000,000.
Ln the profit and loss account there
is a moderate increase in earnings,
which amount to $3,462,446, compar-
ed with $3,398,390 in 1938. Dominion
and Provincial Government taxes
which the bank paid during the past
12 months, amounting to $1,198,413,
were $46,000 'higher than in the pre-
vious period. Profits Oar the year
amount to 4.54 per cent. of the com-
bined capital, rest and undivided pro-
fits, as compared with 4.46 per cent,
in 1938.
After the deduction of dividend pay-
ments of $2,880,000 and the meting
aside of $500,000 as an appropriation
for bank premises, the balance re-
mained at $82,446 which, added to the
amount of $1,183,254 in the profit and
loss account a year ago, leaves e
balance in this nccou•nt ; of .,$1,265,700.
