number of transfers from schools* has
been increased greatly. I 3 there
were 263 as compared 237 in

provement over the previousyear. Mr.

Wednesday Afternoon Session'
E. H. Erskine, the new county • trea-
surer, said he would not make any
recommendations as he was not yet
familiar with the finances of the coun-
ty. He informed ;council• that he has:
drawn up a list of the lands liable to
sale for taxes for 1934, and had sent
a copy to each municipality.• He ask-
ed the reeves to have local auditors
check these lists, and if not correct
to notifythe treasurer at once so that
it can be •corrected.
The financial statement of the
treasurer showed the total receipts of
$357,480.88; disbursements, '$370,71'7.-

A discussion followed the treasur-
er's report on the propriety of issu-
ing debentures to take care of out-
standing loans. •
A motion, sponsored by Reeves. Ec-
kert and Sweitzer, ;that the Council
offer Mr. Gibbs $100 including his ex-
penses for auditing the books from
Aug. 16 to Dec. 31, 1933, was amend-
ed on motion of Reeves Bowman and
Munnings that the offer to Mr. Gibbs
be $100 to complete the aduit to Jan.
1 and allow $25 for expenses.
H. T. Edwards, Superintendent of
the Children's Shelter, reported there
were eleven children in the Shelter,
nine of whom are :at ,school. There
were ; only :twelve cases in the juven-
ile court for the County for the year
1933. None were sent to the Indust-
rial School. The Crippled Children's
Work is well carried on by the Lions
Clubs. Seven children were adopted
last year and eleven the year before.
Ian McLeod, Agricultural 'Repre-
sentative's report, was read by Reeve
Cardiff, in which a detailed statement
was given of office finances and the
work being done. Fifteen meetings
have been arranged to be held
throughout the County.
Mr. Barr, of Blyth, came before the
Council representing a woman, in
Blyth, who had applied for Mother's
Allowance' on Nov. 28: Her applica

was never returned. Being ineligible
now for the Mother's Allowance and
as the goverment cannot pay her back

ation. This was referred to the Ex-
ecutive Committee.

R„ C. Hays Jr., Huron County -council
on Thursday decided to take no fur-
ther action to have George W, Hol-
man, former clerk, return county re-
cords, allegedly taken to his home
from the county btuldings, The •sol
icitor said he would need' specific'""lea `
formation before any legal action
could be taken and it was. felt Council
was treading dangerous ground,
Much comment centred around an-
other motion by Reeves Gamble and
Cardiff, that students' driving permits
from 7 o'clock" to 9 a,m, and from 4
to 6 o'clock p.m,, be issued to those
competent to drive when certified by
the Principal thatathey are duly qual-
ified students, It' was contended by
some who opposed the idea that at
the present time young people are
skipping around the side roads to ev-
ade the traffic officers rather than
obey the law. They should be taught
to obey, not.. evade.
"That this County Council send a
resolution to the Ontario Government
asking to have the Highway Traffic
Act amended that car owners be not
responsible for accidents to passeng-
ers to whom they happen to give a
ride, is another resolution before the
Council.
Council by a vote of 18 to 11 de-
cided to pay half the rental of phones
in the private homes of the County
officers, namely: Inspector of the
County Home; the County Engineer,
County Clerk and Treasurer.
Discuss Special Audit.
Virtually the whole morning was
taken , up ` with a discussion on the
special audit and the question of ob-
tainipg an itemized statement of his
account•'of $3,200 from F. P. Gibbs.
Warden Ballantyne reported that aud-
itor Gibbs had declined council's of-
fer, made Wednesday, of $100 includ-
ing expenses, to complete audit.
Regarding a discussion of the pay
sheets and of the -Warden's committee
of last year, ex -Warden Ballantyne
declared that he could•give an account
of every cent he had received on com-
mittees. "Mr. Beattie," he said, "and
I were the first to reduce expenses, I
think, in 1929. I've gotten nothing
but criticism since I started it, and
I think I've done a good job."
In reply to a question on Tuesday,
Clerk Roberts said. that on looking
up the bylaw that Mr. Holman had
been appointed to the Mother's Al-
lowance Board, was made in Toronto
on recommendation of the County
Council.
The Ontario branch of the Canad-
ian Legion, Clinton Post, in a letter
expressed appreciation of the appoint-
ment of two returned soldiers.
T. G. Hemphill, Wroxeter, wrote
concerning the condition, of the roads.
Sent to the Good Roads Committee.
• Motions
R. Turner and R. J. Bowman: That,
the road commission be authorized to
make application to the provincial.
government for assistance under the
unemployment relief measure; the
projects to be included in the appli-
cation to be those deemed most suit-
able by the Good Roads Commission.
G. McNall and R. J. Bowman: That
bylaw No. 19 ,of the year 1929 ap-
pointing the Old Age Pension Com-
mission be repealed, and a new bylaw
be prepared appointing the Old Age
Pension Commission for 1934. -Car-
ried.
L. E. Cardiff and J. W. Gamble:
That this County Council ask the
warden's committee to communicate
with Mr. Kent and get his price as
Chartered Accountant to finish the
1933 County Audit and if this man
is not available, try elsewhere.-Im-
rnediate action.
M. Matheson and R Johnston:
That owing to failure of council to
receive applications for the auditor's
position that responsibility be left to
the Warden's Committee to locate and
communicate with chartered account-
ants and arrive at favorable arrange-
ments and bring in a report of same
to council to pass on at this session.
-Carried.
Friday's Session
The members of Huron County
Council after a lively discussion car-
ried by° a recorded vote of 15 to 14
a resolution recommendedby the
Good Roads Committee that the Gov -
o
ernnlent be petitioned d to take over
:
the Blue'Water Highway as a e ni
pro-
vincial undertaking, The reeves from
the central and east portions of Hur-
on voted solidly against it, maintain-
ing that the Governinent should �a.
g pay
100 per cent. of the cost. They argu-
ed
-
ed that, with the paved roads, bridg-
es, etc., twenty per cent. of which
the municipality pays,:would amount
to more than under existing condi-
tions.
Ranresentativesof other par
-
tions
of the county served by the
highway in,. uestiot argued that now
is the time to capitalize on the huge
reliefProgram,
The vote on the cause stood 14 to
14 when the last name, Reeve Jones,
of Hensall, 'was called, and was bro-
