C. A. Reid, chairman of the fin-
once, committee of the . Public ,Lib-
rary Board, requested. a grant of •,$2,-
000 -for the use of the Library Board
for 1922. He wrote as follows
Thelibrary building, since . its er-
ection, has had very little money
spent ou it in the way of repairs.
The board has been putting off the
repairs from year to year, and now
we are at a point, in orders tp _pre
serve the building and its reputation
certain repairs are necessary suck
as,
1. The overhauling . of ` the heat-
ing apparatus, putting the system on
a more economical basis, and the
saving of fuel 'which is at the present
time one aour largest expenditures.
2.'The-decorating of the walls of
the interior pf the' library. and the re-
finishing of the woodwork. This is
teededsbadiy.
3. The painting of the' woodwork
of the sacterrorofo the -building,
4. The procuring of storm wish
for the north side of the building and
the tightening of the window sash in
the entire building.
•These, with other' matters, that are
being considered by the Board are
-.the reasons for asking for alarger
grant than usual.
The Board hesitate in asking for
this increase; at the, same time. we
feel that the library is one- of our
valuable assets and should not be ne-
glected in the matter of repairs.
This request was referred to the
\finance committee.
The letter from the Collegiate In-
stitute Board, left over at . the last
meeting, asking for : $11,000. for G.
C. 1. purposes for theyear was tak-
en up, and referred to. the finance
committee to obtain an amended re-
quisition, it being understood that
$10,000 would be sufficient.

Ottawa, submitted sample of as halt
pavement taken from Main street,
Galt, laid in .1916..•

stance of which has already , been
given in The Star. The Provincial
Board of Health insisted on the town

ing it one of Canada's beauty spots.
Differing from other towns Gode-
rich has no "Main Street." Its cen-
tre is a large park enclosing the
Court House. Surrounding the park
are the stores and from this park or
"Square" as it is commonly Balled,
radiate eight streets. These streets
are crossed and re -crossed by other
streets until the plan resembles
somewhat a gigantic spider's web,
Its streets are •exceptionally wide
and beautifully shaded . with maple
trees. The people of Goderich have
a natural pride in their pretty town
and their gardens, lawns and boule-
vards reftectit in their. appearance.
Cooled by the lakebreezes in hot
summer, -Goderich affords a pleasant
resort for the weary city dwellers
and now takes. its place as one. of
the most attractive of summer re,
sorts.
Goderich, ` the county town, also
has other.,elaims for distinction be -
Sides its beauty and its summer re-
sort, - e
It forms an industrial centre with
itsfactories, grain .elevgitors and
flour mills. In its early days the
county town was especially noted for
t
its salt wells. which were o he first of
their kind in all of Canada. Gode-
rich is now the fourth port in the
Dominion in the amount of grain
which passes through its doors.
—We are proud of our County of
Huron. " We are proud that the ban-
ner county has such a worthy -coun-
ty town. And we, who claim Gode-
rich as our own --"our native home"
--are proud indeed of the honor.
