Under chairman, J. T. Brow Sof Clarke Township, a speciý committee had looked aver th county building at * Ohathar e;with the view of seeing if Nsimilar building would serve t Lhouse caunties off ices an Mcourts for Northumberlan and Durham. When the corn mittee gave the report Reev Roy Nichols of Darlington' de clared that it was time the mat FIter was s&ttled because proper t y comnettees were spendin, enough money under the pre sent circumstances ta justify, building awned by the countie,ý The Old Question The old question of where ti build a new counties admini ï tration building re-introduceý the equally-old question of sitd and Reeve Sid Little of Bow manville, declared impatient1j that there had been more thar enough motions and amend, ments in the past holding u: pragress and he didn't want t( see more delay because of indc cision in regard ta a site. The Bar Association, h. pointed out, had clearly indicat. e d that Cobourg's offer in re- gard ta more accommodation Iwould flot meet the require. Iments. In reply ta a question from Deputy-Reeve Frank Lone of Port Hope, the counties clerký Ken Symons, said that the court accommodations had beer surveyed by a gavernment in- spector who had agreed that the Bar Association's demands were flot excessive. Hire An Architeet Reeve Roy Nichols expressed appraval with work ai the special commlttee on a, new building and urged co-aperatian 50 that its efforts would not meet the fate of previaus committees. He said he would like ta see a comiti- tee appointed with authority to hire an architect. Out of the discussion arose the suggestion that a site miglît b e found at the north end of Sthe town an praperty known a s the Caunties Farm, (which includes the site of the Counties Home for the Aged). * Not Smooth Sa'iing :1Decision of the couîîcil to toofa new building ta house alcut offices and courts, is r ot meeting with entirely s mooth sailing. There is a feel- ing among some members tlîat a new home. for the aged should take precedence. It was indicated at this ses- sion of counties council that steps would also be taken ta enquire inta the aspects of a new counties home. However, progress along that line has not kept pace with the mave ta have a new counties adminis- tration building. As the situation now stands, the counties are threatened wîth a writ from the Bar Associa- tion ta compel them ta provide better accommodation for thie administration of justice. The inspector of legal offices, au- cording ta what wvas revealed carlier in the session last week, feels that the bar association 4s not being excessive in its de- niands. Feel Pressure However, Deputy-Reeve Frank Long of Port Hope feit that the counties were beîng high-pres- sured into the new building idea by the counties Bar Asso- ciation. He favore d considera- lion instead of a new building for the aged as he had recently visited the counties home and had came ta the conclusion that he would disike ta spend a night there or ta sec anyone of his famîly in that institution. Mr. Long said that a visit tu the county home at Whitby might provide an interesting comparison. Council anticipates calling a special session next manth and Deputy-Reeve Long was advised that a visit ta the Ontario County Home at Whit- by could be arranged at thzt time. A committee repart on *thei- cou flies at Cobourg, made af:er home were providing good care for the inmates to the extent possible but it was admitted that the accommodations were by no means adequate nor were they comparable to other in- stitutions of its kind in 4he province. The counties home here was ariginally built to ac- commodate 42 people but at present there were 90 being cared for. Council decided ta look over the home at Whitby as a pre- liminary to opening a discus- sion on the question of' better accommodation there. Bustness Directory ÀCCOUntancy Wm. J. H.
