Reeve Robert Bowman He gave a comprehensive and in­ structive talk on reforestation and conservation, explaining its objects and aims. Last year there were 62 applications for windbreak in the county and 172695 trees had been planted, 127 applications for refores­ tation with 140489 trees being plant­ ed. One municipality planted 4000 trees. Three schools planted 50,000 trees, A vote Bowman (Continued from Page One) back, He regretted the retirement of Mr. Lovell, as he had enjoyed his work with him in previous years -in the council. Education, he said, is costing a lot of money, and he wondered if we were getting value for our money. He thought there should be more to it than rushing a boy from one class to another. The County rate has been reduced and it was expected as the Govern­ ment had taken over the cost of Pro­ vincial Highways and Old Age Pen­ sions. About 8 miles in the Township had been taken over by Provincial Highways, and he? thought there should be a greater mileage of Coun­ ty roads. He said he had served for 13 years on the Municipal board, and as there is going to be an election he may al­ low his name to stand. Albert Toner Your Council, he said, had the rate Vs mill and while peftditure on roads had been ed there was still a,Jarge There*5 are about $8000 of 1937 taxes still unpaid and' about $4000 of the previour year’s. It was unfortunate that it rained on the day of the weed demonstra­ tion. The Government has come to the conclusion that spraying is the best method to control weeds. The cost is about $15 a mile the first year and $2 a mile the second year. The cost of the machine is about $700, and he believed that two municipal­ ities could purchase one together. Asking for the support of the rate­ payers to elect him as Deputy Reeve, he believed he should get a good deal of the credit for the province taking over Concession 9. He remarked on the improvement of the hall and thanked the Women’s Institute for donating the curtain. David L. Weir Crawford’s . Hill had been in bad condition last spring, being soft in the centre, and a ditch had been put up the centre of the road and filled in with gravel to allow the water to seep through, this had been done at a cost of $4.00 per rod. The work of improved the all wider and cost $3300, it the township reduced the ex- increas- surplus. of thanks was tendered Mr, for his splendid talk. Thomas Lovell He thanked the ratepayers for their co-operation and support during the past eight years and felt it was time he withdrew from municipal life. He said he had been on. the com­ mittee in charge of the county home and wished that every ratepayer could visit it, It is now self-sustaining and is expertly managed by those in charge. Improvements in the water system had been installed this year, including a pressure system and there is now hard and soft water in*every room. There are 92 inmates in the home at the present time. Robert Baker He said he had served for the past three years on the council and if re­ elected he will endeavour to do his best in the future as he has in the past. The small crusher was the best investment in the township as it can be moved easily from one pit to an­ other. We have a building now to house the transients and a pile of wood which they can cut to keep themselves warm. He regretted the relief as it was one of the hardest things they had to deal with. John Winters This was the third time he had been nominated, he said. He had re­ fused on former occasions to qualify to save -the cost of election, but this year, however, he is a candidate for the council. In regard to relief, believed Howick was fortunate getting off so lightly. Mr. Ed. McCallum who was nom­ inated for the council, said he believ­ ed his nomination was in the form of a joke. Hartwell Strong . He said he intended to stand for the council and should there be an election he would ask for their sup­ port and co-operation.. In regards to reforestation, he had planted 1600 trees a few years ago, 70% of which grew. Fourteen years ago a wind­ break had been planted, today it is about 17.feet high. If we don’t plan for the future what are the future generations go to do? He alst> referred to having the county a restricted area for T.B. in cattle. All other counties are taking it up and he felt that Huron was far behind in the matter. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Harding for the capable manned in which he conducted the meeting. he in NO ELECTION IN MORRIS TOWNSHIP ** the big grader had roads and they were while the grader had had really only cost $1974.00 after receiving the govern­ ment grant. The old grader had been sold for $150.00 and the big crusher for>around $600, by renting the grad­ er to the township of Turnberry and the town of Wingham and by selling the old. grader and crusher this am­ ount had been practically all receiv­ ed back1. We charged $1.75 per hour for the grader and if the scarifier was used, $2.00 per hour. The cost* of op­ eration was about $8.00 peir day. About 11000 yards of gravel had been put on in his division* Another bad hill at Mr* Gamble's had been fixed. He had sdme interesting figures on hydro for the farmers and stated that the service had gradually been reduc­ ed until to-day it was $1.11 per month. There were 37 miles of hydro wires iti this district with 279 con- stmiers* Relief is a serious problem and the only cure is employment and he felt those who could employ labor should cooperate with the council. We have it led to heap toW low so that those few it wauld W to help fhemwltes. (Continued from Page One) forestation and to farmers for-wind­ break. Government will assist any county that carries on reforestation but they advocate 1000 acres in one place while Huron county at present favors about 100 acres in the various townships. He told of the various kind of trees that can be shpplied and what soil is best adapted to .the different trees. He promised his best efforts if re­ elected. W. James Henderson Mr. Henderson, said at the begin­ ning of his speech that he was not a candidate but was glad to be rem­ embered. He would like to see Mr. Cardiff returned, he said, as he has a fine chance to be warden, an hon,- ourable position and he hoped he would be so honoured. Years ago he said that considerable money was Spent in the East side of the town­ ship on county systems. Th% county paid for this but at the time many thought otherwise. People are now behind the purchasing of a power grader* but they used to be against it The proper thing to do is to keep the roads up, he said* If things keep going as they are it will only be nec­ essary for the county council to have a card of directors. This was due to the fact so much power is being tak­ en from them. Speaking of reforestation, he said it was important. We need it through4 out the whole province* but it must be done in a good way* He said he hoped the county wotild do some­ thing along this line- He crltized the using of wood for fuel which came from small trees and said to get re­ forestation it is necessary to destroy the financial pressure of the people. People destroy trees because of nec­ essity. Education cost 1-3 of the taxes he said, one of the necessary expenses, schols are run by city people who hw not the outlook for the rural i I tixa/i We extend to every­ one our heartiest Greet­ ings and our sincere Good Wishes for a Hap­ py and Prosperous New Year in 1938. H. E. ISARD & Co. areas, he said. Francis Duncan Heavy road expenditures have been made this year, Mr. Duncan said, but a lot had been accomplished. Wet weather-held up the work but a good job done. The rate will have to be raised he said unless road expendi­ tures are lessened. If election he will stand and do the best possible for the ratepayers. Robert Wallace I have enjoyed the council work during the year, Mr. Wallace stated and he thanked all who have voted for him last year. He also mentioned that more had' been spent on the roads than last year. 2600 more yards of crushed gravel used this year and more spent on" the side roads. It would be a good plan for the town­ ship to start reforestration on the 2nd line, he said. He told of the demon­ stration of weed killer on the 8th in August. This is supposed to kill the weed and willows and if successful would be a good thing to carry on. He said it would cost about $30 a mile. He was in the field, he said. James Phelan Mr. Phelan explained A his desire that Reeve Cardiff, get the warden­ ship and said he; could see nd need for an election this ’year. The road policy should be changed he said, two roads in the south are a disgrace. Regarding the use of weed killer, he advised council to go slow and to study the matter carefully. Lots of frontage could with a mower, would improve keep money in not stand this year he said, but may some time in the future. EdWard: Bryans Mr. Bryans said he had always told people that work on county roads was paid for by the county. He said crush­ ed gravel binds- and is hard to move and that is why a power grader is best. The crusher would be on the Sth line next year he said. The dem­ onstration of weed killer was just a test, only way to1 find out is to buy some and use it. He said he tried it for bind weed on his farm and it did not work. Mr. Henderson said he had used it but would have to wait another year before he knew the re­ sults, He spoke of the Mill subsidy from the government and said council took no credit for that. He will stand for re-election. Ceeil Wheeler I enjoyed the work this year, he said, and did my best and if you see fit to re-elect me I will continue to do the best I can. The use of weed killer this year was just a demonstration and Coun­ cil will have to await results, If it is successful, it is a better way than cut­ ting, he said, Cutting just leaves the weeds to grow up again, He would not be surprised if taxes are higher as assessment Is less by some thous­ ands of dollars. Good many farms are abandoned or barns burned. He said he would stand. Stewart Procter Mr. Procter said he would not be in the field. Taxes will likely go higher. The’ Township spent 3 or 4 thousand dollars more than they re­ ceived this year. Assets $3000 less than last year. -He criticized the fact that each year road machinery was put in at same figure, nothing allowed for depreciation. Should be a protest to the Government against plows pushing snow into sideroad entrances so as to block them. He thought it might be cheaper to rent a power grader than purchase one, He asked if^any exemptions had been given in the Township for reforestation. Any person who is unable to work is en­ titled to relief, he said, but sometimes able-bodied men get relief too len­ iently. He also said why publish some names and not others. Should be fair to all, he said. He explained1 the live­ stock protection act and said cattle are protected as well as sheep. Dogs should be kept tied at night he said. Council should do more weed killing demonstration and not go into it head over heels he thought. It was the on­ ly method for killing bind: weed, he said. Short addresses were also given by Ex-Reeve Robert Shortreed, Richard Johnston, Ex-Coun. Abram Procter, W. J. Henderson and Walter Short; reed.
