An increase of one mill1n4 n Huron County tax rate as im' evftable if the presentprof, is continued, Cle-xk,treaagrgp' John G. Berry warned couneit Ili presenting lois repo at: opening of the November s✓es7 sion. l -le qualified this by stat- ing that in the' 1905 budget consideration should be given to allocating certain funds for future capital' needs. A surplus of&$26,000 is indi- cated in the general account for the calendar year, with the final standing of the roads bud- get as yet uncertain. At the same sitting, it was announced by Dr. R. M. Aldis, medical officer of health, that approval has been received to proceed under a federal grant to investigate in Huron the health problems of the aged. Miss Margaret Atkinson, B.Sc•., formerly of the University of Western Ontario, has been as- signed to collaborate in the study. Dr. Aldis' said the proportion of citizens 65 years of age and over in Huron's population is almost twice the national aver= age, so "we have endeavored to interest federal and provincial authorities in our situation." Notwithstanding thick fog in the early hours, the last two or three county councillors enter- ed the chamber 'as the• clock struck 10. The roll call showed all present. Warden Ralph Jewell refer- red to the death Saturday of ex -Mayor John Huckins, of Goderich, who was in county Councillors Urged To Watch Tree Pruning <cou>ei�. as d'ept�y re ,ye and:.

We have had a good average year in Huron. Towns and villages have enjoyed a sound economy, and employ- ment is'quite satisfactory, I be- -lieve." "• When B. G. Hanly, assistant. clerk -treasurer, read the mm- utes of the September session, he did so before a microphone, and county officers presenting reports later also used the "mike". "The public address system is up for today only," Clerk Berry explained. "At the war- den's banquet we ran into some` trouble with the microphone, and it was considered we might purchase one, to have a good. `mike' when wanted. In addi- tion, the property committee felt, we could consider some type of public address system for the council chamber. This is .more or less a test, and if we think it worth the while the commit- tee can look into it and pos- sibly we can have something permanent for the, January ses- sion." In woods operations the big thing recently is pruning," said Larry Scales, district forester, in an oral report to Huron coun- ty council. "This is not shaping trees to look pretty; but cutting the bottom branches off so they will be able to produce lumber and eventually financial gain for the owners. ' One time we prune six to eight feet; next time about 17 feet, to make sure you have a good 18 -foot log. There is only one place where the trees are big en- ough for a second pruning, and that is the. Robertson tract, and we pruned there to 17 feet. We rune to 2b0 per acre. Any more than that is a waste of time; because you cannot -Bring to maturity more than 100 trees on an • acre. "Your reforestation scheme calls for planting 25,000 in West Wawanosh, 10,000 in East Wa- wanosh, 10,000 in Howick, 35,- 000 in Goderich Township, 10,- 000 M - Stephen, Hullett 9,000, and Stanley 5,000." Mr. Scales noted acquisition of the Rea property near Wal- ton. "In order to keep .the for- ests," he said, "we must pro-' tect .them. We have a plowed stretch around our forest tracts and keep fire signs up to date. The local fire brigades are a first line of defence againstfor- est' fires. We -are equipped at the Stratford Office only to mop up after the brigades do their. job. We maintain a Staff , of caretakers, one for each tract is necessary. We have added .75 yards of new fence at the' Rob- ertson property to keep cattle out, We constructed a new road at the Moreland property in West Wawanosh, west of Au- burn ,and are pleased with the work the contractor did on this. It made a protection, against fires at which a pumper would have to fill up. We will be im- p'roving the Sheppardton tract road, putting in enough gravel to make sure the Goderith pumper can get in to the pond. "We did some planting -24,- .000 trees in the Sheppardton tract, an area that has become overgrown with wild Scotch pine, a major pest. We clean- ed that up and got good white pine planted." by WO:is Forbes The sea of mat- rimony is a place where the aver- age man has a hard time keep- ing his head above water.

Aged 66 on December 24 next, he has had the required medi-y cal examination. County assessor A. A. Alex- ander presented .,an oral report. "At your last meeting," he said, "you passed a bylaw whereby the county would pay a grant to municipalities where there are county forests. I take it that somebody has to put a valuation on them. For the lat- er ones purchased, in most cas- es we have the old valuation of private property, but inthe early stages of purchasing for county forests there has been quite a bit, of change, and I believe the intention of the county' is for the assessor to value them. I have got in touch with the Department of Muni; cipal Affairs; it does not make any difference to taxes, but it will make a difference to the local clerk whether it is' a grant in lieu of taxes or straight tax- es: `If in lieu of taxes, the money will be put in, the gen- eral fund. If taxes, high school and public school boards will - receive their portion of this.

U it is the intention of the assessor to put this on the rolls, under Section 53, the same as in private property Which has narbeeirffnisTi d• aT the time of the regular roll, it is; quite in order to put the county forests on before the end of December. 1 License Assessors "I have not heard any more about. the requirement of lic- enses for assessors in 1966, but I understand every assessor will have to have some examination before he will be given his. license. Some consideration maybe given to the experience he has, but assessors in the future are going to be requir- ed to take a test before they will be granted a license. "Mr. Berry has mentioned the county assessment commission- er. I believe five counties at present have appointed commis- sioners. Before they allow a county assessor 'they train the staff of assessors by a school which would be conducted in the municipality. There are four to be conducted in 1965, and the department does not want any more. If it ever was the talk of this county to go into such a system, there should be considerable study made be- forehand, how it is to be hand- led. There will be a lot of problems with the procuring of staff, accommodation, and what kind of system, whether the rolls are to be written' manual- ly or by I.B.M. machine, or another addressograph system." 41.
