THURS., JUNE 15, 1933 June Sessions of Huron County Council)" Held Last Week RATE FIXED SAME AS LAST YEAR, BUT COUNCILLORS LOOKING OUT FOR WAYS or ECONOMIZING Huron County Council opened its 1 Asks Fine Remission June meeting in Goderich last' week, ' Peter Fisher, Jr., Blyth, asked with every member present. A long list of communications was submit- ted: Under the heading of enquiries interesting discussions took place. Warden James Ballantyne ' in a brief address reviewed' the finances which he considered were in a satis- factory condition. Under the heading of enquiries, Reeve Stewart asked about a man being struck off the Old Age Pension ;last, later being put on without the committee's knowledge. Reeve Craigie, chairman of the committee, said the local board had refused it but the Provincial Board had put him on. "If there is a spe- cific case, the committee will look in- to it" Reeve Craigie promised. Reeve McKibben of Wingham thought 'everyone should seriously consider whether an Old Age Pension committee in 1984 is necessary, as the power is gradually being taken from the committee." Reeve Craigie asserted he had -only seen the inspector once and asked the clerk if he had received a reply to his letter, asking the inspector to communicate with or consult the board, and received a negative reply from Clerk Holman. Reeve Eckert wanted to know how many children should be in a school before it is closed. After some dis- cussion the Warden promised to look into it. Reeve McNabb asked if fees are paid the inspector fov children trying entrance, and Reeve Wright asked what steps are neecssary to estab- lish high school areas in Huron County. The Warden said he would ask one of the inspectors to answer these questions. Reeve Douglas inquired "what kind of bush does a man have to have to be exempt from tax?" The answers given informed him that he must have ten acres of woodland and cannot take any wood from it. Reeve Eckert informed 'Council that Judge Costello had asked the Finance Committee to bring the settlement of inspector's expenses of $87.50 .each for July and August two years ago. Under the act if the County Council and inspectors can- not agree, the county judge makes the settlement. Two years ago they disagreed, and since last session the inspectors asked the judge to settle it. The department took over the jurisdiction of inspectorates in 1930. The matter was finally left with the judge to settle. VARNA Sunday's wind storm did consider- able damage around here. Quite a number attended the Dean- ery meeting at Seaforth last Wed- nesday.

Ws Scott inquired how it cane about that Sheriff C. G. Middleton was paid $10 to drive the Supreme Court Judge to Stratford to catch a train. He said he did not think it pro. per for a highsalaried Government official to break the laws of the country, in that he did 'not have a chauffeur's license to drive passen- gers. Reeve .Goldthorpe who was on the Criminal Justice Audit Board last year, explained that the Board had refused to pay the account, that the Sheriff had written to the High Court Judge and secured an order from him; and then gone over the head of the Board to the Treasurer of the County and secured payment.

A. for South West Simcoe, invited to ad- dress the Council, said he viewed the County Council as one of the most important bodies for controling the taxes and their views on the efforts to relieve the ratepayers were held in high regard.
