He asked if this was efficiency. The salaries of all officers except the Council had been raised this year and he didn’t think it had been nec­ essary. Relief was too easy to get,-he said, and some change should be made, and that the names should be pub™ lished. The taxes of the police villages of Gorrie and Fordwich were returned to them with the exception of a half mill, and by this arrangement the viL lage pay very little in the payment of relief. He thought this matter .should be ironed out. He would not cause an election. Relief Mr, Bryans was called to speak on. relief, and he agreed with Mr.. Strong in the matter of publishing the names of those on relief, He said all re­ questing relief had been investigated. The Council get all the blame, he said* where they should get the co-opera­ tion of the ratepayers. The Govern­ ment pretty well regulates relief and the hands of the Council are tied. He asked that if anyone knew of cases where relief should not be given that they give the information to the Council. He believed tlie time Lad come when a new. arrangement be­ tween the villages and the township should be made. Mr. Taylor explained that in Gorrie after the regular expenses were paid, there was only $120 left for other ex­ penditures. Mr. Rogers, the treasurer, was called upon to clear up the questions regarding relief.

HOWICK COUNCIL IS RETURNED BY ACCLAMATION (Continued from Page One) John A. Bryans He stated that of the $58,000 col­ lected in taxes in Howick approxi­ mately $19,000 went to the County, and followed with an outline of the expenditure and work of the County Council. The Mothers’ Allowance had increased the past year to $15,000 -—this being due to a change in the Act whereby a mother with only one child would receive assistance. The expenditure at the Children’s Shelter also increased about $700, due to a change made in the classification by the Government, a total of $4133 was spent on the Shelter and he felt that this was one of the finest institutions in the county. The Administration of Justice cots $16,000, but about $6000 was returned. Old Age Pensions also increased about $2000, but in this residents of the Township were getting their share as eight had been added from How­ ick this year. - Grants to libraries were again be­ ing made this year, a help to what he considered a worthy cause. One of the largest items of expen­ diture was for schools, a total of $62,-, 387.54. He spoke at some length on high­ ways and he felt that the north of the county were not being dealt with fairly. The south has 64 miles of paved road, while the north hadn’t even a mile, and 27 miles of County road in the south had been taken ov­ er by the Province this year. He gave an account of the work in his section. At this point Mr. Demerling Inter­ rupted as opposed to work on a drain tm the Howick, Minto and Clifford boundary. Mr. Edgar, township en­ gineer, offered an explanation regard­ ing this, and a general discussion re­ garding the drain resulted. In regard to tax collections, Mr. Bryans felt that the township had dealt fairly with the people of How­ ick, but he was of the opinion that if you don’t ask for anything, nothing will be given. Thomas Lovell He also explained the working of County Council. He stated that the Magistrate's office had been moved to (he Court House this year which will result in a saving of $600 to $800 per year. Improvements to County buildings had cost $3000, and a new fyling system had been installed at a cost of $1400. A balance of $50000 was owing to the Dept, of Highways and by only paying half of it this year the rate had been lowered a half mill, the bal­ ance to be paid next year. Regarding paving in the north, he with Mr. Matheson, of Ashfield, had moved that the work be left over, Albert E. Toner He said he hoped that the taxes would have been lowered last year, but this could only have been done at the expense of the roads. The relief situation was a serious otic but in this there had been quite a reduction this year. The weed prob­ lem was also serious as the time for cutting was a busy season. Fits division spent more money that others, but this was explained by the crusher being in his division. He was again asking for support for re-election to the Council. D. L. Weir He stated more work had done in his division than last some gravel being purchased from a Carrick pit, Difficulty had been ex­ perienced in the Shoemaker pit, there being too much sand, but the gravel from the Reddon pit was good and fine and made a good road. The mon­ ey spent was profitable and the roads needed it. He said this was the last year of the culvert debentures, and this will result in a half mill reduction next year and regarding a question that had been asked him regarding Wrox- eter debentures, he stated that the rink debentures retire in 1938 and the west sidewalk in 1946. He would also stand for re-election. Ml Gamble thought that it should be possible to lower the rate to three mills as a number of annual expendi- relief was spent in the villages. John Winters Stated he had no intention of al­ lowing his name to stand for election but at some future date might decide to run. Mr. Demmerling asked the Council to explain their reason for adding mileage to their fees. Mr. Bryans explained that they had set their fees at $4,00 per council meeting, and that the mileage was added to take care of their expense in their work. All other work had been done free. The Clerk took exception to oppos- ition regarding the raise in salaries, and stated that when he felt he. wasn’t ■earning his money he would quit.
