Children's Aid Report R T. Edwards, superintendent of Children's Aid. Society, reported the cost for maintenance as $3,396.74. In' presenting his report Mr. Edwards said, "The first aim and object; of ,ev- ery Children's Aid Society is that of prevention.- If children can be saved and helped in early years, there will be a( tremendous saving` to the com- munity. Domestic difficulties and family troubles by which children are affected are assisted in being solved by the Children's Aid Societies. The work of the Lions Clubs- of Goderich and Seaforth in connection with crippled children was commend- ed highly in the report. H.' McCreath, newly elected coun- cillor of Colborne, was given a hear - ng. He asked the assistance of the reeves in having the Dunlop tomb on Saltford Hill marked in a special way. He showed asketch of the tomb and its surroundings. ' Mr. Dunlop was a first settler and the first' warden of Huron County. Mr.. McCreath's idea was to have the words "Dunlop's Tomb" printed in cobblestones on the side of the hill in eight foot: letters:' George S,potton, M.P., and C. A. Robertson, M.L,A., were present and addressed the council. The corn borer inspector, O. Gunn, ;cplained some matters regarding his orlc on au etuluiry from Reeve Ste - art. The remuneration he receives ante uncles fire. Mr. Gunn said one spector is appointee! for each coup- y:, With the Coesent of the reeve, e !nay appoint an assistant. He lead fly one man working for him. Mr. turn received $470 last year. Only ne conviction had been made, Fifty r oetst, of Mr. Gunn's salary is paid the Department. Reeve McNabb advocated revers - 11 to statute !-bot In his township ork was done better by statute la- r than it has been since. The road ntrnissrotlor's salary had been .re- ced from $5.00 to $3.50. The high- n,„ Iel„armiel�9U)wtxmM 6 _u. I16.t411i ways department didn't approve. "Why should they object to our reducing his salary?" asked Mr. Mc- Nabb. He urged co-operation, Reeve Wright saw no reason to go back to 'statute labor, In his' town- ship they haven't a draw over two miles and they have • thirteen .patrol- hien. The warden said he, felt the wish of the council would not be to go back. School Inspectors Beacom • and Field. gave their reports and answer- ed many questions regarding the ex- tra teriii required by• the department at Normal which some members of the council designated as unfair. The appreciation of the members was ex- eressed to the inspectors in a vote of thanks. Thursday Session ' Huron County Council, in session on Thursday was asked toreduce the salaries of all officials over which the Ct uncil has control, by twenty per cent. The request came in the forth of a ;motion ,by Reeves Taylor and Wright and was referred to the Ex- ecutive committee. Another motion: was for a 10 per cent. cut. A decis- ion undoubtedly be reached before th•e conclusion of the present session. At the same time Reeve McNabb asked that a resolution .be forwarded to Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, Premier Geo. S. Henry and the Rt. Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King, leader of the opposition, asking that all gov eminent officials' salaries be reduced 20 per cent, A ;motion, sponsored by. Reeves Siveitzer. and .Bowman asking that a by-law be, prepared confirming the appointment of Traffic Officer Lev- er and giving him authority to act under and to lay information under the L. C. A. as Traffic' Office;' was carried: The Thursday afternoon session was a short one as Council adjourned early in order to allow committees to meet and prepare reports. Reeve Smith inquired of the Coun- ty Engineer, "Are you a full time of- ficial of the County, or are your .dut- ies only certain ones?" He also ask- ed, "In connection with bridges culvertcharge s do you: extra for t Plans and specifications?" Mr. P terson said that lie gives full time if necessary in looking- after the affairs of the county, and replied "no" to the second question. The Warden and Reeve Wright `were appointed delegates to the meeting called by the Minister of. Ag- riculture in Toronto on. February 4th. Tlie members of the Council were guests of the Warden who entertain- ed formally at the Bedford 'Hotel on Wednesday evening. Ian McLeod, Agricultural "Repre- sentative, gave a short summary of the work of his Department. At the short course in Dungannon there was an enrohnent of 30 boys and 37 girls, the average attendance at both cours- es was thirty. "The Agricultural Department is not `supplying any seeds this year for School Fairs and 110 special assist- ance is to be allowed," said the speaker'. "Other years three judges were supplied but this year these will have to be provided without assist- ance from the Department. The most successful fairs were held in St. Helens and Belgrave. A grant of $25 to. each Schools Fair in the County would be appreciated. Lack of local interest in some schools : d:ist.riots might hinder the holding of some fairs. Some Township Councils have supported Fairs to the extent of $25. Mr. McLeod submitted the financial statement of the Junior Extension Fund, showing receipts of . $359.35 and a balance of. $71.77. N. W. Tr,ewartha, of Clinton, an ex-Ward•en, being present, was asked to address the Council. THE WINGHAM ADVANC1-TrM1 S ceive $4.50 per day. The other clauses in the Executive Committee's report were adopted with 1 ia s amendment 1 e1x dtrit t tied the grartt'to tlle North and South Huron ;L'lon'- inen's' Association should be ,$100 in- stead of $50 as hroug'ltt in by the Committee, fifteen Councilors voting, for the amendment sponsored be Reeves Cardiff and Archibald, The following' were the recommendations adopted, Reeve Haake in, the chair, Grants of $700 to each hospital; Tenders for goal supplies, ..13reail, E.

Council went on record as being opposed to any Legislation which re- stricts the powers of municipalities, and gives the Government control of their finances, when the Committee endorsed aTresolution from the Unit- ed Farmers of Ontario, protesting against the usurpation by the .Prov vince of the municipalities' affairs. Reeve McNabb "How does it come that all the braids in this Pro- vince are in the City 'of Toronto? Our Townships are free of debt. Are we not qualified to say whether or notwe should issue debentures with - cut asking• the consent of legislators wino have piled up millions of debt in this Province? I think the order should be reversed. The resolution is all right, the only mistake the Unit- ed Farmers made was going into pol- itics." Reeve McKibbon pointed out that Legislation was aimed at Border municipalities and. the Yorks. He said there were people who could not collect on their Border City coupons. • It was, finally decided to endorse or' he the resolution by a vote of sixteen to. thirteen . at- i , but the resolution will be redrafted by the Resolutions Com- mittee and sent direct to the Govern- ment without reference to the Unit- ed Farmers. A motion by Reeves Sweitzer and Ballantyne that Council petition Olt- tario Government that we revert to Statute Labor, the same grants to be paid on such work as were paid und- er the present arrangement, was car- ried. Another Salary Cut In the afternoon and concluding session the salary of H. T. Edwards, Superintendent of the Children's Aid Society was reduced $400. The Mo- tion by Reeve Geiger was that Mr. Edwards be paid $600 by the County instead of $1,000. An amendment moved by Reeves Bowman and Arch- ibald that Mr. Edward's salary be subject to a 20 per cent. cut was 'lost on the following division: Yes—Archibald, Bowman'', Cardiff, Craigie, Elliott, Francis, Gamble, Goldtrorpe, McKenzie, McKibbon, Stewart, Taylor, Wallace -13. No—Ballantyne, Beavers, Camp- bell, Douglas, Geiger, Haake, Leiper, Matheson, McNabb, McQuarrie, Mo- ser, Scott, Smith, Sweitzer, Wright - 15. The motion carried on the same division, those voting against the ant enclment, voting for the motion. In answer to Reeve Stewart's ques- tion, "Does an auctioneer's license et,title two men to sell tender it?" the Warden said both must have a licen- se. 13y -laws confirming the• appoint- ments to the Good Roads Commis- sion, trustees, etc:, were passed. The Warden expressed his apprec- iation of the co-operation he had re- ceived and . the January session of Huron County Council closed with Auld Lang Syne and God Save the King. Friday Session Drastic reductions were made in the salaries of the County officials at the Friday morning session when sal- aries were :reduced all the way from five to thirty-three per cent.
