the new court house are progressing,
and that he expected to be ready to in-
vite tenders some time during Febru-
ary, 1947,
The Town of Goderich is negotiating
to have additional land required for
the site, transferred by- a special Act
of Parliament to the county, the com-
mittee also reported. It was intimated
that Mr, Sridginan would attend the
January session,
The recommendation of the commit-
tee concurring with an Elgin Comity
resolution, 'requeSting the Government
to release nails • for agricultural pur-
poses, was 'endorsed' with applause, A
recommendation that the ceiling price
on winter feed cattle be resumed 'next
spring was endorsed.
The conservation and reforestation
committee report recommended - the
passing of a by-law governing the cut-
ting of trees, and that a tree planting
machine be purchased.
William R. McDougal was warmly
commended for his work as weed in-
spector after giving his report he had
attended Township Council Meetings
at least once. He recommended the
removing of all brush, small trees and
other obstructions from roadsides by
havin /g the latter leveled and ditches
built close to fences, roadsides mowed \
by a power mower to prevent wild car-
rots, chicory and other weeds going to
seed.
Leaf spurge was , located in nine
areas, eight of which wel'e sprayed
with sodium chlorate and calcium
chloride. A new weed is knapweecl
or star thistle, located in every town-
ship except Hay and Stephen. It is a
worse menace than wild carrot, the re-
port said. School yards, military
camps and War Assets had co-operated
with him, Throe neglected. cemeteries
were located,
The County Home Committee re-
ported a barn had been purchased for
$200; and it was estimated the cost
of an addition to the old one would be
$2,500 when completed.
The recommendation of the commit-
tee that a by-law be prepared abolish-
ing the position of County Home In-
spector, and that instead the County
Home committee meet every two mon-
ths instead of quarterly was endorsed.
Huron County Council Wednesday
unanimously endorsed the opinion of
the warden's committee that the mat-
ter of purchasing Port Albert airport
be laid over for the time being. It
was pointed out that no concrete pro-
position had been presented by any
person or organization desiring the
Acquisition of the airfield, and it was
felt that plans for its use and financing
should be placed before the council.- -
Reeve B, W. Tuckey of Exeter,
chairman of the Warden's- committee,
stated that no organization had com-
municated anything to the committee
as to why the council should acquire
this airfield, or how it should be pur-
chased. The reeve thought it was just
a feeling at • large that prompted the
talk. If the site were used for a coun-
ty fair, attendance would he drawn
from a more limited area than that en-
joyed by the International Plowing
Match, he pointed out.
"We felt that instead of it's being
a paying proposition, it would be a
white elephant on the hands of the
county", Reeve Tuckey declared.
After Committee Set-Up
A motion was introduced. by Reeves
E, J, Parrish and S. lilachan that the
reforestation committee be composed
of three county councillors for a three-
year term, one member to be elected
each year; that it be selected at the
January meeting, and include the ag-
ricultural representative and the coun-
ty engineer. The committee now is
composed of four members who are
not at present county councillors, the
warden, and Reeve Alexander of Grey
Town s hip.
Anamendment
moved by Reeve
Tuckey, to retain the present commit-
tee was lost on a division vote of 10-17;
and the motion was endorsed, In the
discussion the opinion Was -expressed
that the members of the committee
should be the elected representatives
of the people.
The warden's committee also report-
ed that on September 9th it met with
the Huron County Flying ,Club to dis-
cuss Sky Harbor airport No amic-
painted on them; to provide'• for their
adequate inspection; and to require
other motorists to observe caution in
passing Intsaes,

culosis committee, appeared in support

port of the grant were Reeves R. 13,
Cousins of Brussels and B. W. Tuckey,
The request was referred -to the health
and hospital committee on a motion of
Reeve 14., MacEwert and R, B, ;Cons-
ins, This committee later brought in a
recommendation that $1,000 be -grant-
cd, and this was referred to the war-
den's

Service
The excellent work being done by
the nurses in the county health service
was commented on in the health and
hospital committee's report. The nur-
ses, who were introduced by Reeve E.

tee's recommendation that the proyin-
cial government be requested_ to esta-

County Council at the morning session
on Wednesday when their reports were

' The commission's report was discus-
sed clause by clause, with Reeve John
Pepper of Stanley township in the
chair. Particular commendation cent-
red around the work done to eradicate
weeds.

how you obtain news, is no concern of
your readers, and your news is usually
accepted as a truthful presentation of
what your diligent research has gath-
ered. I am presently concerned with
a news item in your issue of Nov. 21st,
headed "Political pot begins to sim-
mer." In this you forecast, as a result
I presume of information received, re-
tirements from office and desires for
changes of occupation by certain spec-
ified officials. As to retirements you
make an astounding revelation, and ,ev-
idently quoting, you say, some, of the
retirers feel that the council work takes
too much of their time from their reg-
ular business. Further you say, lurch-
ing right into the rub, if they received
some allowance they might feel more
inclined to take time off from their pri-
vate business to attend to council af-
fairs.
Those persons, retiring from or as-
piring to seats in our Council, who re-
gard service to the town as secondary
to the pleasant operation of filling their
personal purses should so and will be
most severely censcmed by the christian
sentiment which abounds so extensive-
ly in the minds of the rate paying
members of our, oh so good, coMmun-
ity. We don't want service from ser-
vants of that breed ,offered reluctantly
We want service from men who are
anxious, and eager to do the town's
work and to give themselves whole-
heartedly to it, I sincerely trust that
• the electors will choose meta of this
nature to our town and make of Wing-
ham a centre well worth living in,

Advise Bonds Be Held
When the year is completed, and the
accounts balanced, it is expected that
there will be an amount of about$14,-
000 not covered by the county road
levy, but it is not recommended that
any of our postwar fund bonds be sold
at this time.
Considering .the big backlog of pro-
jects that have been held over during
war years, and which should now be
carried out, higher .county road rate
is indicated until such times as taxes
again become a real burden, at which
time our bonds can be cashed,
We recommend that the road in the
township of Howick between lots 10
and 11 from con. 14 to the north town
line, be assumed as a county road,
(2V2 miles).
Also the road in the townships of
Colborne and Goderich - from county
road No. 15 in the' township of Col-
borne southerly along the Maitland
concession to ,Goderich township and
continuing in Goderich township to No'.
2 Highway at Holmesville, (miles in
Colborne and VA miles in Goderich
township).
Regarding the request from Seaforth
High School Board for two snow
plows, your Commission is endeavoring,
to provide as good service for all the
roads as is practacible. t
Must Replace Bridges
During the past year heavy Toads.
'have caused the collapse of two steel!
bridges on provincial highways within:
the county, and such heavy loads are
using our bridges, frequently. Some
of these bridges are high, and a col-
lapse could mean loss of life. An at-
tempt was made some years ago to.
limit the loads on these bridges, but
the Department of Highways would:
not approve. However, I believe an-
other attempt should be made, and fn
any case signs should be erected warn-
