He dwelt at some ingth on grants to Hospitals and Indigent patients, stating that •the county had +payed this year $11,193.95 to various hospi- tals and by the end of the year it would be more. He, explained how the case of an Indigent Patient is handled, how they enter the hospi- tal, etc., and claimed Goderich abus- ed the rules, Township pays half the cost of this indigent patient. IIe spoke of Old Age Pensions, stating 145 cases bad been dealt with and decisions made. There are 622 old age pensioners in the county and 9 from other counties and this coun- ty has 8 in other counties. He mentioned the fact that the House of Refuge is self-sustaining, due mainly to old age pensions and raising of hogs. Taking up the School question he compared the cost of this year and last and mentioned that Government grants were cut 10%. Council had gene on record of reducing High School salaries. Grants to School Fairs cost $3,225, reductions had been from $25 to $20 per fair, but further reductions are necessary. Mr. Scott then took up some town- ship activities, mentioning the Tele- phone meeting at Belgrave when R. J. Scott, Robt. Coultes and others spoke as to why telephone rates should be reduced. He felt they had given good reasons for reduction but the Bell Company had done nothing. He stated that if the majority wan- ted to go back to statute labor he was with them. At present the gov- ernment pays 40% put work was un- der their inspection. The Board of Health had stopped a Wingham merchant dumping refuse in the river, also after considerable difficulty had tannery refuse in Blyth work on roads. He went into details of his work and expenditure in re- gard to same, and the crusher quest- ion again brought questions from the audience,. but Mr. Gillespie stuck to his guns, but failed to convince.many' that moving the crusher a distance -of 5 miles was good. business. R. H, Thompson, who was a can- didate last year, thanked those who voted for him and stated that Mr. Henrerson and himself had started the Criminal Justice investigation when they were in County Council and he hoped that results would be obtained by some future council. The county rate is one half a mill lessthis year, but the government pays more to old age pensions was responsible for this he stated, In 1930 when he was in the coun- cil there had been a cut in wages of 5%, He could not understand wily the township council had raised the rate as the old council had $2384.24 at first of year along with raise in rate should now have about $3300 on hand, In times like these he could not understand the council doing such a thing. He favored cows pasturing on the side roads and would like to see the government sanction this. He said he would take time to consider whe- ther or not he would qualify. W. F. Campbell stated that he did not wish to cause an election as ex- pense should be cut inevery way 'pos- sible. He thanked all who had sup- ported him at previous elections and repeated his hope that an election would be avoided. 7. ,J. Kerr then took the platform and had all present in spasms of lau- ghter with his Irish humour. How- ever, after wishing a Merry Xmas he took a more serious attitude and took the council to task for what he con- sidered bad business. He stated that which was most obnoxious removed. education without brain was of little This work was charged to the prop- account. The council had spent $200 erty owner . He said weeds on roads are gain- ing ground ,they are cut on highways but not so well looked after on side roads. He felt the Road Supt. spent more money than necessary and did not stop when he as Reeveasked him to. Elisha Walker felt expenditure should be cut down and said very little work was done in his part of the township. Adam Robertson after stating he would run again wished all the seas- on's greetings. He explained the use of the crusher this year and why it had been moved. He spoke mainly on the work done on the roads. In regard to control of weeds they had been recommended to use chemicals, but this would have been too expen- sive. He thought if cows could be pastured on cross roads- this would save a great deal of money and con- trol the weeds. They had written away about this but had not received a reply. At this point Mr. J. J. Kerr and Mr. Robertson had a discussion on the use- of the crusher this year. R. R. Redmond, the next speaker, said the best of feeling prevailed in council and he had confidence in Mr. Scott as Reeve and as a man. The auditors had been pleased with the treasurer's report. That Mr. Pattison had his troubles but was doing well under the present circumstances. He To the Electors of Turnberry During my five years as Reeve of Turnberry I have always endeavored to do my best for the people I re- presented. Again this year I am in the field for Reeve and once again ask for your support. If elected I assure you I will serve you carefully and faithfully as I have done in the past. Wishing you all a most Happy and Prosperous New Year. L J. WRIGHT.. To the Electors of Morris I wish to express my sincere ap- preciation for the kindly attitude to- ward me at the nomination. I also wish to thank those who so gener- ously gave way to make it possible for my acclamation for Reeve for 1933. I sincerely hope your confid- ence in me will not be misplaced: Morris Township will ever be in my forethought. Wishing you all a Hap- py and Prosperous New Year. L. E. CARDIFF.

After thanking all who supported him last year, W. G. M. Reid wond- ered why council had raised the rate this year and so far no person had given an explanation for same. He said he would not be responsible for an election. Mr. Scott came back to the plat- form for a few minutes and stated one reason for the raise in rate was due to the assessment being lowered 10%. He also stated that the County of Huron paid out $120,000 more than it received back. art g mond gave a blackboard talk on the financial part of the council's work. He placed the expenditure in three groups, Municipal government, salary and allowances, printing, stamps and stationery, Board of Health and Mis- cellaneous in one group, and showed that in 1932 about $11 less has been spent, 9-10 of a mill paying for this expenditure.
