Ile nrentionqd the fact that he was the Ministers of the Government of the various departments. Re Gibbs report' he thought a de- tailed statement of his account should have been received. as this account was over $3000. He explained some items in the Township Statement alio& relief and told of the necessity of paying for in- digent funerals. He said he had car- red. on during his two years of office to the best of his ability and would stand again for re-election, A few questions were put to Mr. Cardiff at this time and he explained them. He did not favor the manner by which the new Clerk and Treasur- er of the County had been appointed but they were two good men and he thought the result would have been the same regardless of how the vote was taken, W. J. Henderson, said he thought the date of nominations should be changed to get women to attend as they had votes and got very little in- forrnation except 'what was brought home to them. He complimented Mr, Cardiff on his report. He coesidered work in the Township should be done so that the money would stay in the township. lJe had been criticized two THE WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES ,Thursd Y, Dec, 28th, 1933 a member of the County Coun when Mr. Young Was appointed Treasarer, He had not voted for hi He couridered 4/1r. Yeung's report Council very unsatisfactory and 1928 brought up the idea of getti chartered accountants as atadito Next year the cost of 'such audit w received but when put to a vote 1930 was turned down by Council, thought Mr, Gibbs' report should ha been included in the County minut He spoke of the vast of education a considered that one should be card in reducing expenses on this item education of our children should looked after. The cost of achninistr tion he stated was too high, abo $17,000 per year. If not paid by tax it was paid by the unfortunate peop who got into trouble. He. felt th the representatives on the Coun Council should bring pressure to be on the Government at Toronto stop direct rule from there instead through the county. ' He considered the agricultural co mittee has accomplished little mo than resolutions. He believed that t Township Council tried to keep dow expenses but had little chance those higher up threw money awa He said cost of government was to high as every man had to work thre months to pay his share of the co of government. A:rthur Wheeler took County. E gineer to task and said he should n have asked for Clerk's position. H fele that people did not want an e ection and would not run for Reev or Council. John Brown said he would not ru fer Reeve but would be a candidat for the Council. He told of the con struction ancl cost of Brown's bridg which came in for considerable di cussion. The total cost was $1143.3 less sale of old bridge for $32. H also gave an account of the roa work in his division. He took th stand against returning to statute la bor as he thought the present syste works well at present. He spoke ver highly of his fellow -members of th Council. A report of the road work done i his division was given by Finlay Mc Callum. The total ipent was $913.16 He explained how certain work wa let by him and said he was in the fiel again. Edward Bryans gave an account o the work done in the noi.th division He said, mistakes had been made bu were unavoidable, any person woul have made them. He said they start ed with a dificit in 1933 but this wa because they ran things so close. H also spoke of Brown's culvert, and said he was again in the field. Francis Duncan considered that too much money was spent on the roads or what they got He felt the peo- le should be given the opportunity o vote on whether they wished to re - urn to statute labor or not. Another advocate of statute labor as Wm. McGee. He quoted the cost 375 for a certain work and that this ork would be done by statute labor uch cheaper. Be said under the pre- en t system you must spend $180 to et $120 from the Government. He onsidered the county rate of 6 mills oo high. This could be reduced by roper handling of county roads sys- m. He also favored election tak- e place around Dec. 1st. He felt e patrolmen should give work to ore people on their beat. , Stewart Procter said he would not and. He lauded Finlay McCallum, a eighbor who had served. on the oard well and with his experience ight to serve better another year. e said statue labor was abused and doubt present system was abused. e said we must go ahead or go back d the best method was to improve e present system. Russell Richmond said he was not in the field. W. Joseph Henderson said the past Council had done very well and that he would not stand. Speaking of stat- ute labor he said many townships that went back to this system were not satisfied and were now considering a plan whereby each member of the Council would look after a division, but would not use patrolmen. Thomas Bridges felt that the coun- cil had done very well and that there was no need for an election this year. Gilbert McCallum told about the Warble Fly and how it could be com- battedH . e felt that the Council should make a.rrangements to buy the powder to fight these pests so the cost to the farmer would not be so great. Mr. Cardiff at this point explained that the only means of the township to get their share of the money spent on gas tax, was°by the present sys- tem of road work. If the township of Morris did not take this opportun- ity it would be just that mach better for other townships that did, An ex -Reeve, Mr. Robert Shortreed SPoke fora few minute. He mention- ed the fact that the last of the bridge debentures vvould soori be paid. All told $100,000 had been spent on bridg- is. Under the Old system they used st 011-1 00 an th to be painted every year. For tlw'. last two year this lia,s not been done arid if not attended to the rust would play havoc with the steel structeres and the township would be faeed with the problem of renewing these bridg- es sooner than they should.
