Deputy-Reeve Reporte Deputy Reeve Garnet RickarÈ in accounting for bis steward. ship during the past year report. ed that he had represented Darlington Township on tht United Counties Council, ha' been chairman of the Agricul. tural Committee and was also a niemnbers of the Finance and By. Laws Committees. He feit that the Agricuitural Cammittee had perhaps flot paid enough attention ta the agricul- tural problems of the United L'otnties but said that he had gained valuable experience ;Dy attending a meeting of the agri- cultural council in Toronto. The counities rate in Darling. ton this year was 8.75 mills, Mr, Ilickard said, and this had real- ized $34,637 as Dariington's pay« niment for United Counties pur- poses. The Counties had sperit $416.945 during the year, witk $55.450 of this going for general government and administrative expenses. Another large item of counties expenditure was the $43,850 spent on iaw enforce- ment, county goal and family court. Mr. Rickard pointed out thai the iargest single item of ex- pend iture by the counties was the $77,423 spent on roads and bridges and he feit that more of these funds should be spent or Darlington Township roads, since they are much more heav- îly travelled than some roads ini other parts of Northumberland and Durham whîch are receiving more attention. The Deputy Reeve stated there is a goad possibility that the the government may agree to take over the road from Hamp- ton to Kirby. If they do, he said, the United Counties will hard surface it at a cost of $30,- 000 and xviii receive the govern- ment 50 % subsidy on this work, Welfare Costs Too High Mr. Rickard feit that the item of $57,000 in Counties Council budget for chuld welfare is un- duly high, as is the $38,500 for the Northumberland - Durham Health Unit. The cost per child is $1,16 a day in the Children's Sheiter in Cobourg, he said, whiie costs in Toronto shelters is slightly over $2.00. The Un- ited Counties must pay this higher amount for counties' children in shelters in Toronto who are flot adopted. In answer to a question from the floor the deputy reeve stat- ed that there are now 87 in the Counties Home. These persons pay $37 per month from their old age pension and the council is trying to raise the rate for those who can afford it to $60. He mentioned one instance of a persan worth $100,000 trying to get into the Counties Home at the $37 rate. The home is filled ta capacity, but is not as crowd- ed as it has been in the past, he said. Mr. Rickard pointed out that 31/4 miles of hard surfacing have been compieted in Darlington Township during this year at a cost of $14,332.

If we worry over some fancied griev- ance we may fan the fire to some greater proportion that only our ability to worry seems to exist and yet this loss of nerve energy plax's a vital part in the heaith and efficiency. Early in life we may often outlive these things. (Copyrighted> work the>~ are dolng." He stated he would like ta sec more pav- ing and weed spraylng during 1954. Coun. Vie Fraise. Workers Coundillor Everett Vice ini bis report also paid tribute ta the work of Road Superintendent Wesley Graham and his men. He stated that a stretcb of road from Bradley's School to the Tamarack Swamp which had not been touched for 25 years had been repaired, and that many other neglected stretches of township roads had also been fixed up. Coun. Vice pointed out that the gravel situation is becoming serious in the township and that construction companies are quickly depleting the gravel supply. He suggested that coun- cil should buy or take over the remaining gravel pits in the township or it would find itseif without gravel for repairing roads. Asked.. from the floor whether a crusher could be ah- tained to crush stone into gravel, he replied that the costs of this would probably be tao high. Mr. Vice complimented Build- ing Inspector E. Varcoe for his fine work. "This is a bard job", he said. "There are plenty to criticise bis work. but no one willing ta take his place". He drew attention ta the tremen- dous growth of Darlington Township, stating that Yt now has a population of 6,300, which is larger than Bowmanville's, and an assessment of $4,100,050. Coun. Stevens Reports Councillor Ross Stevens stated that be had enjoyed bis irst year on council and was willing ta serve again. "Council bas worked harmoniously together duning the past year"', he said "and the leadership given by the reeve and deputy reeve bas ibeen excellent". He pointed out that the provincial government had made warble fly spraying 1obligatory duning the past year and that cauncil had purchased for $1,820 a sprayer which cauld be used for bath warble fly and weed spraying. Profit of $167 realized from its use this yean can be used ta pay off part of the initial cost, he said. He stat- ed that it is much easier ta kili noadside weeds and bushes witb the sprayer than to bine men at 85 cents an hour ta eut them. Asked from the floor when tbese dead leaves and brush wouid be cleared away, he stat- cd that it takes a year for the spray ta take full effect on the roots and after that time the de- bris can be cleaned up. Coun. Stevens stated that the township "hasn't burt itself"' in supporting the work of the Memonial Hospital, Bowman- ville. "We are very fortunate in having a good hospital close at hand and should do more to supj- port it." He stated that patients from municipalities who do not give grants ta the bospital are now charged 50 cents more per day than patients fnom munici- palities such as Bowmanville and Darlington which do. Suggests Crop Insurance Coun. Murray Tabb expressed the belief that the council should take out insurance to cover pas- sýble damage to field crops caused by spnaying roadsidp weeds. He feit that council bad made a wise move in deciding ta plant 20 acres of red and white pine in the noth-east por- tion of the township as a refor- estation project. Ë~e suggested that council could plant Christ- mas trees at a profit in 140 acres of waste land in this area. After Pency Werny had allow- ed bis name ta stand for count- cil, Everton White, Bruce Tink, Wesley Yellowiees and Earl Truli ail declined ta run, giving Mr. Werry the council seat by acclamation. Mn. Werry declan- ed that he would serve the citi- zens of Darlington ta the best of his abilits'. Sehool Attendance Doubled Chairmnan Eanl Osborne of the South Darlington Area School Board reported on some of the pnoblems wbich have been met during this year and outlined same which have got ta be faced, In the past nine years that be bas served on the Board school attendance bas jumped from 330 ta 761 and continues to increase, be said. Portable schools have been built at Shaws and at Mapie Grave at a cost of $11,500. It is absolutely neces- sany that ive roonis be buit before next September, Mr. Os- borne said, and tbey will be fill- ed from the outset. He suggested that a twa-room addition be built at Maple Grave and that one of the pont- able schools be moved to Salem. Anathen two rooms are needed at Zion and two or tbree rooms are needed at Courtice. He feit that the Board would be un- wise to buiid anything less thaii a four-room school at Countice. Government Cuts Grants Mn. Osborn9 poînted out that; portable classrooms can oe built at a cost of only $6,000 per raom while a permanent scbool costs $20,000 to $22,000 per noom. The government will not allaw grants on portable sebools, however, even when tbey are put on permanent foundations. Asked Lrom, the floor why the Board did not provide trans- portation, Mn. Osborne replied that the provincial government will not pay transportation casts for children living less than three miles Lrom a scbaol. He pointed out that the questioner lived within three miles of the nearest school. Mn. Osborne stated that the Board does not wisb ta get into the transporta- tion field at ai as the costs would be more than the town- ship could possibly bear. Trustees Harold Muin and Jack Nacnab ofL this year's board also reported to the meeting on the year's wonk and several ofL those nominated for the posts of trustees also spoke briefly. In thanking the council and school board members for thein reports, Township Clerk James Hogarth stated that it was the most informative nomination meeting held in the Township in 23 years.V Mrs. Jennie Richardson re-, turned ta Chatham Sunday after 1spending a week at ber home.
