â- ^pr m^ •^FW. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY M. 19«4 IHIB â-²WAMCS WHY WOMEN ARE LIKE NBWIBPAPERS The Redding: Currier Free Press re- cerjtly aroused a lot of intrest through a contest in which case prizes were given for the best reasons why women are like newspapers. The prize-winning answer was â-  gem, worth a place in anybody's scrap book. The r«ason given why women are like newspapers was: "Because every man should have one of his own and not run after his neighbors." Other answers sent in were:- "Because their work is Tiever done." "Because a woman wants to know all the news and tell all she knows." "Because both are tactful, desirable, interesting and indispensable." "Because they have forms." "Because thoy have bold faced types." "Because they are easy to read." "Because back numbers are not in demand." "Because they are well worth look- ing over." "Because they are not afraid to speak their minds." "Because if they know anything they usually tell it. "Because they always have the last word." "Because they carry the n«wi where-ever they fO." "Because they hiiTe a great deal of influence." "You (nay often disagree with them but ybtt' can't get along iwithout them." â-  Learn to enjoy the reali-bies of today, for yesterday is a memory and tomorrow a dream. (Marriage is deacrtbed as like a railroad sign: When you see a pretty girl ypu stop, then you look; and after' you're married you listen. Up in Listowel a citizen urged his fellows to refrain from criiticising the civic council. Go to a meeting, he urged, and state any grievance that may be real or imagined. Members of council are elected to administer the affairs of the municipality and are willing to listen to complaints and suggestions. This is thje ideal way to get cooperation between coun- cil and citizens and should it evcr~bc adopted here it would mean the abol ition of the postoffice senate.

D. Henry, K.C., of Markdale as the result of an ex- amination! of the accounts of the latter's office by provincial auditors. The amount, according to information of a reliable source, is divided equally tietween the two, and will clear up the complaints which were made dur- ing 1933 regarding the large sums of money being paid Mr. Heniry in fees in connection with his work as county crown attorney and clerk ot the peace for Grey county. It will be recalled that there was consderable criticism on the part ot the county with regard to what was allegfed as excessive cost of the ad- ministration of justice in the county, and the matter was finally taken to the attorney-general's department in Toronto, and a promise v>ras made there that the whole matter would bt inivestigatcd. Accordingly all of tht accounts which had been passed b> the county board of judicial audit foi 1931 and 1932 were sent to the pro- vincial auditors for scrutiny and in- vestigation. There were a great number of these and the work oc- cupied considerable time but was fin- ally completed, and a few days ago the word came to the authorities of the result, as above stated. County Crown Attorney Henry, ac- cording to a report from Owen Sound, frankly admitted that he had received certain fees to which he was not en- titled, pointing out, however, that every account passed and every cent he had received was with the sanction of the judicial board of audit. He also stated that there was an appar- ent lack of knowledge of the proper tariffs which applied to many of the functions of the county crown at- torney and clerk of the peace, which was responsible to a great extent foi the overcharge. Mr. Henry explained that he re- ceives from the county of Grey a sal- ary of $4,000 a year, which is aug- mented by 50 per cent of all fees collected, the other 50 per cent being paid to the provin'ce. It developed during the course ol the interview that it had been tht custom of the county crown attorney to be allowed f 2 for all adjournments of court cases, this being considered a fair fee when he was compelled to attend court and for no cause of his the case had to be adjourned. It developed however that there is no provision in the tariff for a fee ol this kind, and the provincial auditors at Toronto refused to pass them and amount collected in this way will have to be repaid. There is provision made for a fee of 50 cents for all letters written as clerk of the peace but none for letters written as crown attorney. IrJ view of the fact thai there were in the neighborhood ot 1,300 letters a year written during the past tvvb years, the refund from thi.s source will be substantial. The crown attorney is permitted tc charge a fee for every case he at- tends outside him home, but objtxtion has been taken to this fee being paid for every charge laid against a per- son in the same court, the auditors deciding that where several charges are laid against one i)crson in tht same court, but one fee is allowed. Mr. Henry stated that whew he ac- cepted the position of county crown attorney for Grey at the request oi the attorney-general he did so on three conditions. He was to be per- mitted to continue his legal practice in the eoutiity, he was to be permitted to retain his residence in Markdale and he could delegate someone else to handle minor cases in the courts should he so desire. He intimated, however, that it was his intention to take up his residence inl Owen Sound in the course of a few months and that he would have a branch of his Durham office here, so that the ob- jection to his residing in Markdale, would be removed. He admitted that in view of the business he had in Owen Sound it would be more con»- venient to reside there. Reference was made by Mr. Henry to the large number of serious cases which had received his attention un- der the highway traffic act. These were heard in different parts of the county and the fees and penalties had all been sent to the province, he re- ceivdng his percentage of the fees. It developed that only those cases that arose out of accidents and other cases on provincial highway* could be considered as provincial cases, the others being either county, township, town or city cases, the fees and pen- alties going to each municip«lity ac- cordingly. He said there would have to be some adjusting done in connec- tion with these with the highway traffic department in Toronto which would take considerable time, and he believed this would relieve to some extent the obligation put upon him by reason of the audit. As a result of this investigration, it is believed that a new system of ac- counting will have to be inaugurated and that the board of judicial audit will have their regulations more clear- ly defined in order to prevent a re- currence of what has occurred. At the present time there are the 1938 accounts to be inspected and audited at Toronto and there may bt further refunds demanded when thi. is completed, although there is noth ing definite on that point. As a result of the joint meeting of representatives erf the County of Grey and City of Owen Sound held in t*>e office of the County Treasurer, Mr. E. D. Bonnell, on Monday after- noon, the matter of the manner in which sir. W. D. Henry, K. C, County Crown Attorney, will make a refund of f2,846.p2 to the County and City was left to be dealt with by the Grey Council at the June session, but in the meantime it is understood that a certain percentage will be deducted from the salary of Mr. Henry, when due. The officials present at the meeting declined to accept the respon- sibility of taking definite action. It is understood that Mr. Henry request- ed that the amount be spread over a period of seven quarters, as it was during such a period that the funds were previojisly collected.
