Eckert was chosen chairmen of the meeting which followed. The no- mination was held in the Win- throp hall which was well filled by ratepayere. Reeve Dan Beuerman said he would be in the race for reeve. He might be appointed warden this year. The reeve gave a lengthy re- view of county finances and ea - fairs. Expenditures for hospitals had risen to $80,000, quite a fig- ure. The health unit got $20,000. 'Up to Oetober $525,000 had been Peal out on the new court house at Goderioh. On the county roads 0% miles had been graded and three bridges bullt. The reeve said more traffic was moving on the county roads and this meant more rebuilding in the near future. This year $50,000 more had been spent on the county roads than had been estimated in the spring. This will mean an extra, mill on the roads next year, said the reeve. Tbe Crecliton bridge was n. new type. The grading on the Bayfield to Clinton road cost $29,000. The sante amount for the grading on the Kippers road plus $3,000 for culverts. Reeve Beuerman said he had been chairman of the county home committee this year, Mrs.. Jacobs and Diek had resigned in October, the latter going into the hardware business in Clinton. Harvey Johnson had been ap- pointed farm manager. Mrs. Po - dock of Clinton had started last Monday as superintendent, and he was confident she was well qualified for her duties. The final cost of the work at the county home at Clinton was $469,000 of which the province paid 50%. The charge was .$2 a day if you could pay. If not they grab whatever estate there is. The old age pension is $40 a month—$35 to the county and $5 to the person. New regulations apply to sickness. Those serious- ly sick are transferred to Lon- don and the county and the town- ship pay fifty percent each. Over 90 days the county pays the whole shot. The new building at the county home cost $332000, renovating the old one $26,000, pumping plant and well $24,000, architects' fees $26,000, furnishings $36,000. The library committee's work continues to expand and grow, Reeve Beuerman said. A proposal to • spend $4000 for a second lib- rary truck and driver had been turned down by county council, The new court house at Goder- ich was progressing, said the reeve. The roof was on and the finishing work was being done. He hoped the total cost could be kept within the $700,000 figure estimated. The county, the reeve said, pro- posed to give a scholarship of $100 to girls who attended the OAC, the same as is at present being done for boys. Five girls from the county at present are at the agricultural college. There are eight boys at Guelph and ten boys at Ridgetown. The reeve said $5000 had been handled for 4-11 club work in the county. In closing his address Reeve Beuerman said six bridges in the township would be rebuilt next year. He had served for. eight years and would appreciate sup- port. BRUCEFIELD Mr. 3. R.

It was .one of the oldest continuously operated businesses in ,Seaforth, having been rim by the Stephens fam- ily. The Trainees are being .of- fered for sale or rent. Chairman Eckert thought the county council should hold its officials to the line. How can the county spend $50,000 more on roads thane, its estimate and the township can't do it, asked Mr. Eckert. We have a community centre and hockey 'but do not get crowds. The farmers are the best spenders when they have the money. It was too bad when the price of a cattle lleast would no longer pay the taxes on one hun- dred acres, he said. Albert ,Siemon, nominated for reeve, said he would [meek later. Jerry Doerr, councillor for 1955, said his name would be on the ballot for next year. Wilson Little, councillor, said his name would be on the ballot.

Warren Thomp- son and son 'Christie were guests of Mrs. Thomaison's sister, Mrs. Holden and Rev. J. R. Holden over the holiday. . Only about half the weeds were cut. Earl Mills, councillor, discuss- ed a number of county matters including the wardenship. He thought too much was being spent on the west side of the county. He asked who paid for flying out to Alberta and 13.C., and who paid the expenses of the wives. Herbert Williamson said he would be in the field for council if there were an election, Wm. A. Ryan said he would stand for council if there was an election. He thought the roads were pretty dusty even atter put- ting on calcium. Albert Siemon, councillor, said the contractor had not got all the gravel on this year. He said be, would run for reeve if there was an election. Chairman Eckert, in answer to a question, explained about a "student" engineer from Germany but he had. not been long enough iu this country to got his papers yet, and therefore was classed as a student. Ken MacFarlane, a former councillor from Grey Twp., was present and was requested to speak. He said his township had got a dragline and was grading tee the roads so the snow would blow off easier, and cut down snowplowing. Grey township was running short of gravel and he thought it would be necessary to pa down surfaced roads in the coming years. In answer to a question from the audience about knocking clown mail boxes, Chairman Eck- ert said the owner of a mail box was liable if post it was on did damage. He thought it was far safer to have the Poet on the fence line and a long pole out to school area secretary, was chosen chairman for the ratepayers meeting ReeveJames Doig Reeve Seines Doig, in thanking the electors for his acclamation, said it was tbe first time he had not had to go througli an election. A. normal amount of work was clone this year, down a bit on gravel, but made up on other work. He praised council for their oomperation. Speaking of county affairs, he said Huron is spendingmoney at an unprecedented rate and hoped it would not be as great for a long time again. He is chairman of the county finance committee, and had budgeted for a surplus of only $57. Mr. Erskine informs him there will be no overdraft. The Children's Aid had spent $3,000 more this y ere Tt is one of the best organized in Ontario. There are 352 wards, and cost runs about $100 each. Huron will be the envy ot every comity with its fine new court house, but the cost had soared to a total of over $700,000. The op- ening is expected to be May 24th. He was one of six, against 25, at oouncil'who had voted against building Tuckersmith had received the biggest amount of work done on county roads, $34,000. Clinton was next with 931,000 for a new street, He had tossed his hat in the ring for a position on the county roads committee next year. He could not promise relief from taxation by the county, it was up one mill this year. Mr. Doig claimed that to get a larger share of grants from the province we must spend more and enlarge our road program. Otherwise the money from higher car licenses would gle to the sup- erhighways, he thought. "I ask the ratepayers to go along with the majority opinion of the county council and spend more money on our roads," Mr. Doig said. $1 out of every six of county money went last year to finance indigent patients in hospitals, he reported. This would be down a bit this year awing to some col- lections from estates. Mr. Doig reviewed the Clergy Reserves Trust Funcl' earl asked Clerk Chesney to read correspon- dence between the Dept. of Mun- icipal Affairs and the towashile Last year the twp. auditor had ordered the Clergy Reserve fund of $19,250 closed out and credited to general surplus. The dept. says this was wrong and ordered the fund set up again. The fund in 1875 had an original $17,864. The fund has been set up again and is to be used in the original status for education purposes cud can- not be used for collateral by the township. The money can be loaned to schools. A. controversial subject had come up in June about Egmond- ville school addition. The board asked council for permission to issue debentures for a new school because Egmondville has become over -populated with school age children. Council did not feel like granting this 'without an expres- sion of opinion by the ratepayere. The situation might solve itself by school population dropping off and the people should decide for themselves about a new school, Another hot potato was the tp. dump. Only one location was av- ailable, it is not in operation yet, but already there had been objec- tion. It is intended for cans and bottles, not garbage. The council was faced with providing a dump or the old way of people dumping refuse on roadsides. It was not pleasant to come out in the mor- ning and find a load of olcl cans in front of your property. Five men are running for the county wardenship for 1956. The hospitals are starting another round' of asking for grants. God- erich wants $35,000 for a 60 -bed addition and Clinton hospital hat asked for a $15,000 grant from the county.

He hoped the new dump would be satisfactory. It can be closed at a month's notice by ei- ther party. Annual rental is $100.

Mr. Roberts explained that the trustees ask (retinal to issue debentures, If refused, trustees may demand a vote at the municipal election. If vote is favorable council is then compelled to issue debentures, subject to approval of the munic- ipal board. A school area board has the same privilege as urban boards, and do not require a vote of the people. Clair Haney inquired what the $3.1),zou seire‘e„,- Reserve 'fund is held for.
