Huron County Towns and
Villages Had Asked For
•a 90 Per Cent. Road Re-
bate From County.
GRANT $25,000 TO "
CLINTON HOSPITAL
A lively debate in Huron County
council last week followed the read-
ing of the eonunittee's recommenda-
tion that the towns place their ap-
peal for higher rebates with the De -
pertinent of Highways for an amend-
mentto the' act and the county would
comply with any change.
Reeve Attridge, of Goderich, , read
a•portion of a letter from, the depart-
ment in which it was stated that the
county could, 'pay back any rebate it
wished.
The recommendation Of the coni-
inittee was carried, after an amend-
ment introduced by Reeve C. Attridge
and J. P. Daly, of Seaforth, that the
county rebate be a flat 75 per' cent,
the same as the present rate td' vil-
lages, was lost on division, 12 to 15.
There wase sharp division of opin-
ion between -the rural and; urban
reeves on theamenclanent, and on an-
other one presented by Reeves Tuck-
ey, of Exeter, and W. H. Morritt, of
Blyth, that the rebate to villages be
increased from 75 per cent to -90 per
cent, which was lost on a division
vote of 8 to 19.
A grant of $5,000 was authorizell
to the reforestation and conservation
committee for its work, also, $25 to
each fall fair for a children's depart -
Ment.
A motion by Reeves Bowman and
Tuckey, that plans for • refurnishing
the court room be ohtained, to be
provided for out of post-war funds,
was carried.
On the recommendation, of the ex-
ecutive committee, the county coun-
cil on' Thursday morning. authorized
a grant of $25,00Cto Clinton Public
1pital toward the building of a
$93,000, addition.
The recommendation was thorough-
ly'discussed before its adoption. It
was pointed out by some members
that they had heard criticism...of the
council's grant df $25,000 to Wingham
hospital at a former session. Others
were of the opinion that an expendi-
ture of $100,000 on the county hospi-
tals would be a good thing in order
to bring them up to date.
V. D. Falconer, Reeve of tlinton,
stated that he considered the grant
was made as a contribution to. the
hospitalization of the county. Clinton
is prepared to finance the building to
the extent of $38,000. Ward i are ov-
ercrowded, and municipalities must
make the first move ,in order to re-
ceive government grants.
The yeas and nays were called for
and council voted 20 to 8 in favor of
the grant on the following division:
Yeas—Alexander, Armstrong, At-
tridge, Baker, Beecroft, Berry, Bow-
man, Daly, Evans, Falconer, Moffatt,
Morritt, Nicholson, Pepper, Shaddick,
Smyth, Tuckey, Weir, Wheeler, Win-

Judge 3, A. Jackson is a thorough-
going Canadian, one whose family
line reaches back to the early days'
in Ontario, there his family line
reaches back to the early days in. On-
tario, where his ancestors pioneered,
while he himself has seen" much of
the development of the West, +1'
The judge was born March 25, 1875,
in Eginondville, Huron Comity, Ont., •
the son of George E. Jackson •and
Mrs. Elspeth Waugh Jackson, His
father was 'born, in Dublin, which
may account for the rich dash of
hutgor that brightens the conversa-
tion and addiesSes of the judge. The
family settled on the shores. of Lake
Huron in 1847 and the, county was
pretty much a bush region.'
• The mother`ot the judge 'Was born
ia •Middleser County, Ont., of Eng-
lish stock. Her maiden name was
Waugh and the Waughs operated one
of the early grist mills near London,
Ont. Born in Egm.ondville, as noted,
the judge might recall
significance of that name: It was,
the Canadian home of Colonel Van
• Egmond, an officer in the army of
Napoleon and a descendant of the
famous Count Van Egmond, Dutch
patriot at the stirring period of Wil-
liam •Of' Orange.' One of. the many
aunts of Judge Jackson was a grand-
daughter of Col. Van Egmond, who
served as .commander-in-chief of Wil-
liam Lyon Mackenzie's force in the
rebellion of 1837-38.
With this family background,
"Stoney" or "Stonewall" Jackson of
his later 'varsity days, came on the
