on was ' presented .to Huron
County Council at the June Ses-
sion in Goderich by Public
School Inspector :T. ,.IL. Kinkead.
As it stated, 'the report was
prepared "in order to acquaint
the ° members with recent devel-
opments and to supply infor-
ntation which would permit a
study qf the future planning.
There 'has been general co-op-
eration in the preparation of
this report," he commented.
The following, surveys were
included in the report: (1) en-
rohnent by grades elemen-
tary public- schools; (2) enrol-

"Certain difficulties prevented

vey of secondary "school costs
by municipalities. It is hoped
that these may be submitted to
this , Couneil._.at. a later date. -

Review Grey Two. History.
A sheet history of municipal
government in the Township of
Grey and the -record of years of
service of .those + people who
headed the councils during the
century.
By Clifford R. Dunbar
At the outset we could con-
sider how we got our name. We
appear to be named for Charles -
the Second Earl of Grey who
later became Prime ;Minister' of
Great Britain. He was an .active'
political reformer throughout
his life:
Municipal, Government or loc-
al Government it is often cal-
led was firsiri thrust upon the
people by the legislature of
Upper Canada, due to the lack
of communications facilities at
that time, local authority was
necessary.
The responsibilities of local
councils were many: to quote a
few; organizing the building of
roads and bridges, the former
mostly by statute labour, organ-
izing drainage systems, "setting
up school sections, public' health,
licensing and control of taverns,
public welfare, justice and
many others.
One project which•I think has
historical value which. shows
that the councils...of those ear-
lier years could move quickly,
a motion was passed on a split_
vote on September 3rd, 1892,
to award the contract to J. W.
Fogel to construct a township
hall -an one-fifth acre of FREE
land west of Ethel for' the sum
of $850.00. On November 15th
following, the first council
meeting . was 'held in the hall.
This building exists today -An
in
good condition, but has hadand
addition constructed on north
end in 1955 and isnow a com-
munity centre.
Previous to, the construction
of the township hall, nomina-
tion meetings and gouncil meet-
ings appear to have been' held
in Motels in Cranbrook with an
occasional meeting being held
in the hotel at Ethel.

In the year 1910 a local op;
tion by-law was passed prohibi-
ting th'e sale of spirituous li-
quors with the . resulting affect
of closing most of the hotels in
the 'township. There was a vote
on this by-law, 510 for, '202;
against. -
The rise and fall of our pop-
ulation , in Grey Township is
significant. In the year 1962
our population was about 2,500,
in 1872 about 4;000, at present
about 1,850 residents.
As at the present, the Reeves
'and Deputy Reeves attend Coun-
ty Council. A difficult task con-
sidering the problem of trans-
portation in the early years.
There have been three Wardens
of the County from Grey Town-
ship, namely: Thomas Strachan,
1896;- Robert , W. Livingston,
1916; and Alex Alexander, .1945.
For the protection of the n-
digent aged citizens 'a House of
Refuge was constructed and op-
erated by the County in the
year 1895. Grey Township was
represented' by Thomas Stra-
chan, Reeve, and Archibald His-
lop, Deputy Reeve. This build-
ing was torn down about 1962
as it was found to be unsafe, an
addition haying been construct-
ed about 1954, another complet-
ed in 1962 and still another ad-
dition almost completed. Total
aecommodation at present is
about 300 residents. Reeves of
Grey Township during those
years were Clifford E. Rowland,
George W. •Hutchinson and pre-
sent Reeve Clifford. R. Dunbar.
The names of the men and
number of years they served as
Reeve follows:
Archibald 'McDonald, 1865 to
1868 and 1873; John Leckie,
1868 to 1873; Thomas Straehan
1874 to 1887; Thomas Strachan,
1895 to 1899; William Milne,
1887 to 1895; James Turnbull;
1899 to 1903; Robert W., Living
stone, 1903 to 1906; Robert W.
Livingstone, 1910 to 1920 and
1926; William Fraser, 1906 to
1910; John McNabb, 1920 to
1924 and 1927; John McNabb,
1931 to 1935; John McNabb,
1944 to 1952; James MeCutch-
eon, 1924 to 1926; Henry Keys,
1928 to 1931; Henry Keys, 1935
to 1941; Thomas Wilson, 1941
to '1945; Alex A. Alexander,
1945 to 1948; Clifford E. Row-
land, 1952 to 1957; George W.
Hutchinson, 1957 to 1960; Clif-
' ford R. Dunbar, 1960 to 1968.
I should like, 'also, to record
the names of the Deputy Reeves
who ,served the township dur-
ing the last 100 years as fol-
lows:
David Dobson, 2 years; Ar
,chibald McDonald, 4 years; Sam-
uel Slemman, 8 years; John His-
lop, 4 ,Years; • ;William Milne, 1

years; Stanley Machan,2 years;

'George MacDonald, 2 years;
Hugh B. Smith, 2 years.
During the past century our
township has had nine differ-
ent people occupy the position
of township clerk and treasur-
er. Our present clerk Mrs. Ed-
ytli Cardiff has filled that posi-
tion • very efficiently since 1951
and; is one - of , ,thefirst lady
clerksin the county. ....
