Some 15 in all were dealt with, and moot of these had to be returned to the makers of them, as they were in most cases imperfectly filled in, improperly certified as to signature, or certificates asked for not supplied. This is very unfortunate, as it causes a great deal of unnecessary trouble and delay, and could be easily avoided, if the forms were read carefully and its provisions complied with. The following pointe should be ob- served by those making application : 1, Certificates asked for must be sent in as required. It will not do to say you can furnish them if wanted or that somebody has seen them. These certifleates must be obtained, except original marriage certificates, from the Registrar General, Toronto, for which a charge of 25 cents each is made. Municipal clerk's certificates will not do neither v[11 copies taken from church registers, by ministers. Medical certifleates of incapacitation or insanity must, also be included. 2 flet your municipal clerk or some one need to filling legal doon- meths to do the writing and have a J. P. if possible take your declaration. Don't get some relative' or interested person to do either the filling or the witnessing or taking your declaration. 8, Only a widow or a mother whose husband is permanently in- capacitated or an inmate of the asylum for insane and has at least 2 children under 14 years of age, and who wishes to make a home for them, should apply, 4. Applications must be made in duplicate, one for the local boardan one for the general board a0 Toronto. Bobh must be sent with all the certif• Mattes or documents to either Rev, E. W.Garbett, secretary, Hansan, or Geo, . Holman, chairman, Goderich, 5. Ali statements made will be Yeti. fled by a government inspector who will .visit the home of the applicant to confirm the facts as recorded in th e application by a personal investiga- tion 6. The members of local board re. ceive no pay for services rendered and rely upon those making application to do all in their power to make their duties as pleasant as poseible by fur. nielling them with all the facts and dbconients required.
