In looking over what the counties are doing for their hospitals, I find that the County of Huron has done nothing for con- struction. 1 had the pleasure of be- ing with the committee and visited most of the hospijals and I think the cotnniittee are satisfied it is time some- thing was done, and if you see ,fit to make a grant for hospital construction, I think you will be doing something in the right direction." The Warden referred to the depute - tion of ladies from Goderich and vi cinity which had been arranged to wait on the Council on Wednesday af- -ternaort, and said there was also to be a deputation from Clinton the same time. The matter of adjustment on good roads was another question. We had come to the tune of readjustment of prices. The recommendation for equa- lization of expenditures between the various townships, by a special levy on some townships had been made, but the Warden said he could not see how that could be carried out, If we went a little slower and used the cheaper labor which would now .be available, these matters would adjust themselves in time. The Warden also understood there would be a deputation from the differ- ent Agricultural Societies asking for increased grants. • i The auditor's report made a number of recommendations, one that the ac- counts be audited quarterly owing to the ,largely ineFeased innate of bi'- clers in connection with Good Roads; another was that the Good Roads 'Com- mission keep their expenditures near their estincates. Last year's expendi- tures had run over $205,000 and the estimates were only something over $87,000. The report of the inspector of the boilers at the Court House and the Huron County Hone called attention to needed repairs and to the need of better draft for the Court House, as a lot of fuel was wasted under present conditions. Mrs. Greenway asked for the pay-ee { ment of the $500 granted towards the memorial hospital in London. A statement of the expenditure on the Provincial Highway in this county up to Dec. 31st last showed $3,867,18 spent on construction and $774.40 on maintenance,. of which the county has to, pay 2q %. 'et letter from the Goderich Old Home Week association invited the Council to arrange to hold its ,picnic at Gode- rich .during; ithat c'e)lebrjation, This was referred to the special committee. Colborne .Township Telephone sys- tem asked for compensation. for hav- ing to reset about half a utile of poles on account of the removal of earth from the roadside, .A communication from the Depart- ment of Public HighWays gave notice of the approval of the roads asked for by the county council to be included in the Good Roads system, with the ex- ception of the Winghani bridge,. the Brussels bridge, the road from, St. Hel- ens to. Belfast, and Gloucester Terrace, Goderich. • The present owners of some proper- ty which had been taxed, In the Police Village of .Auburn at the wish of form- er owners, wish. to be relieved of that burden, as the property is outside the village.

This would conflict in time with the hearing of the hospital dele- gation and the council felt it could not alter the hospital delegation's time, as this had been arranged 161. - On Wednesday afternoon a large de- legation of ladies from the Ladies' Aid of the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, and representatives for the Clinton hospital waited on the county council. Mrs. M. G. Cameron, Mrs. McWhinney, Rev. J. E, Ford and Rev. Canon Hill presented the case for the Goderich hospital; Mrs. Brydone, Mrs. Manning and Dr. Gandier for Clinton, and Reeve Tipling, of Wingham, spoke for the hospital in his own town. The request is for a grant for construction purposes. The committee to which this matter was referred at the Jan- uary session submitted a report Thurs- day morning, recommended the levy of a mill on the dollar on the equalized assessment to create a fund for hospital purposes and that Goderich and Wing - ham being ready to proceed be given $21,000 to be divided as agreed on. The condition of the grant to be that the hospital boards to participate must show an equal asset !n cash or its equivalent, must snake a full report to the 'council, and must have 1 thiriT bf the board from the adjoining country. The report expressed the- conviction that increased hospital accommoda- tion was absolutely necessary. This at once raised considerable dis- cussion. The councillors representing the southern end of tate county ob- jected strenuously to this, claiming that the grant should be equally di'- id'ed. A number of amendments were made and one recommending that a material Increase be given to the county hospitals was ,passed, and thus the natter stands as It practically means the same grant as that given last January.

'NEW BO ASSASSUE IEOURED IN CANAOA To Retire Victory Loan --- In December of 1922, Bonds to Value of $194,000,000 Mature --Wall be Renewed at Higher Rate but Taxable — No Diffi- culty Expected. Ottawa, June IL—The statement of Sir Henry Drayton to the elle-s1 • that there would be some refunding in In Canadian loans y h•` .,,,,,,, next year indicates the •Government will probably have to float a bond issue to retire the Victory Loan ma- turing in Decem- ber 1922. At the finance ',depart- ment .it was stat- 5IR H-DRAYTON ed that Victory Bonds atnounting to practically 5894,- 000,000 fall due, next Decemyer. It is hardly to be expected that the Gov- ernment will be in a position to meet these bonds with cash unless bond is- sue is made. ' The process will probably be that the Government will notify bondhold- ers that it prepared to renew the bonds maturing in 1922, replacing the non-taxable bond with one that is tax- able, but bears a higher rate of inter- est, If the bondholder refuses this offer, demanding cash for itis bond, it will be paid him, the necessary funds being raised by the sale of bonds to the investing public. It is considered unlikely that the Government will have any difficulty in refunding the loan as the investment in Government bonds is an attractive one owing to their safety. • The scheme attributed to the min- ister of finance to the effect that re- funding to the extent of $194,000,000 would be carried on next year is ap- parently incorrect. Although the min- ister could not be seen this morning it was stated at the department that the amount of the loan maturing was $194,000,000, A 0 WITH TIM CIIL?RRCLUIS. a O 18 •etemooso©e®®b®neo8f^nt2rd Salvation Army Major Byers, Divisional Commander, assisted by Mrs. Byers held special ser- vices at the Salvation Army barracks 0n Sunday.
