Under the terms of, the con­ tract, the Court House was to be finished by December, 1854, but, as still sometimes happens in these situations, there w©re the usual delays' and the work Was far from completed by the end of the year. -The Council was understanding, but canny. In December, with the building not finished they stated: “We would feel disposed to favor the contractors as far as in our power lies, but if. these counties are put to unnecessary expense and unnecessary inconvenience by reason of failure of fulfil­ ment of the contract, we con­ sider it only reasonable that the contractors make good all los­ ses so occasioned.” Agreement Reached It was a good thing the Coun­ cil was “disposed to favor the contractors” because it was al­ most two years later before the building Was completed. A.final accounting w was made with the firm of M011ish, Morrell and Bussell. They had found that the delay caused extra expendi­ ture to the firm, and the Council falling back on the shrewd agreement they had made two years back, agreed to settle for the original amount plus the 256 pounds from the town of Goder­ ich. The contractors balanced Out their extra costs against the County’s charges for extra in­ convenience occasioned by the delay” and “an amicable settle­ ment was reached.” Belatedly Mr. Melllsh tried to collect extra mohey for drawing up the Court House plans but was turned down by the Council, He sued and lost the suit. Two years late, but with a beautiful building which time proved was well and truly able to meet the needs of an ever- expanding Huron, the Council had good reason to be gratified by the results of its labors. The road had been long, complicated and difficult, but the democratic process had triumphed. The rights and interests of the citi­ zens had beCn respected, and Huron had one, of the finest Court Houses tn fee found in. the Province at that time* Ladies Guild Fetes Choir For Sunday by Sunday faith­ ful service, the Ladies’ Guild entertained the choir members of Holy Trinity at a dinner in the church basement last Thurs­ day evening. After the dinner, one of the most regular mem­ bers, Miss Marion Coursey, was further honored when the mem­ bers of the Chancel Guild and the mothers of her S.S, class joined with the choir in present­ ing her with a kitchen shower. T h r e e interesting contests formed part of the evening’s en­ joyment.
