Hi'stery-making Year In his address, Ward en Beer said it had been a history-mai- ing year for the counties due to the start of the new counties' building and the biggest road pragram ever attempted by the council. Rapping some of the counicil's critics, he could not understand why people who have money for pleasure includ- ing cars and liquor, raised objec- tion when money was ta be spent on progress for the coun- ties. Reviewing events prier te the decision 'to build a counties structlire 'ta house council offices and local administration of jus- tice facilities. he declared that every ether proposai had been given sincere and thorough con- sideration. Finally, council had decided to proceed with their own building. In conclusion. he thanked his fellow councillors for their co-operation and an- ,.nounced that he planned ta with- draw fromn politics in the future. R. J. Payne, Dieputy-Reeve of Manvers. acted as the capable chaimman o! the dinner and in- traduced head table guests in- cluding the Hon. W. A. Good- fellow, Ontario Minister o!
