OVERPAID IN GRANTS BY COUNTY COUNCIL? (Oshawa Daily Times) Claiming that five urban munieci- palities, Whitby, Uxbridge, Port Perry, Beaverton, Cannington, had been in the past five years been over- paid in the matter of school grants for the maintenance of county pupils to the extent of $16,000, on account of non-adherance to an amendment to the High School Act passed in 1930, Reeve William Parrott, of Reach Township, succeeded in having a clause in the Educational report passed in County Council instructing the Clerk to write to the Municipali- ties and advise them of the overpay- ments. Mr. Parrott claimed that the municipalities for the year 1934 alone owed the following approximate amounts: Whitby town $174; UR" bridge town $500; Port Perry $490; Beaverton, $338 and Cannington $301. Mr. Parrott demanded that these municipalities pay back to the county these amounts, and before the adop- tion of the clause to advise the muni- cipalities there was a lengthy, heated discussion. Mr. Parrott contended that had the county treasurer and finance committee of 1930 known of the amendment in question to the Act, passed by the Legislature in April of that year, they would have levied for three thousand dollars less when the rate was struck in-June, with the re- sult that no over-payments would have been made. He said that prior to 1930 there was much confusion as to how grants should 'he compiled and that the amendment was passed to clear up the situation. Mr. Parrott said that the trouble was that those whose duty it was to make up the school grant collections in"the urban municipalities mentioned during the five years did not know the provisions of the High Schools Act with the result that year after year the county was out money which it should never have paid. Other County Council Business. It will take the sum of $265,946.23 to operate the County for a year. This is the amount set forth in a by-law passed by the Council authorizing the treasurer to collect it through direct taxation by levying on all rateable property in the county. ; The treasurer was authorized by by-law to borrow $125,000 to run the county until the current taxes are col- lected, also $75,000 to carry on the county road work during the season until the government subsidies on -same are earned and payable, Unemployed men in the various municipalities will be put to work as far as possible on county road work on which the government will pay a portion of the cost under an arrange- ment with the Unemployment Rélief Branch of the Government. Roads ---- committee recommended that the var- ious municipalities send in the names of their men on relief so that the en- gineer can use them where possible, The county gets the usual subsidy on work undertaken as well as the relief grants, i The County Roads Committee sub- mitted a report pointing out that they had interviewed the honorable, the Minister of Highways with regard to the assumption by the government as Provincial Highways certain County Roads. These are: County Road No. 7, known as the Port Bolster-Beaverton road, 6.25 miles, : County Road No. 21, from Game- bridge easterly towards Kirkfield, 4 miles, © . The committee reported these roads are now in good shape and that as the result of their interview they be- lieved that the roads would be taken over, althought no order-in-cpuncil had yet been passed. The report of the Committee was adopted. The County has been asked to as- sume as a county bridge a wooden pile structure crossing the Severn River in the vicinity of Washago, between Rama and North Orillia Township. The Committee was authorized to make an inspection of the structure and report back at the November SCUGOG Sunday School at the usual hours next Sunday. There will be one ser- vice next Sunday and it will be at the Centre at 7.30, and Mr. Elford wishes far one all to gather here for his last Sunday with us. . A large number of friends gathered at the Centre Church on Wednesday evening for a little surprise for Mr. and Mrs, Elford, Florence and Elva. They were presented with two wicker chairs, an end table and electric lamp, and the following address was read: Mr. and Mrs. Elford, The seven years of your pastorate on the Scugog circuit are drawing to a close and as we consider the place you have filled, not only in the ac- tivities of "the church, but in all our community interests, we wish to give you some expression of our gratitude and affection for you and your family. Every individual in a community stands for something in particular. Each one possesses some distinguish- ing quality of character, which leaves day by day certain definite impres- sion on the those around him. Usual- ly the full value of a person's contri- bition to the.-ermmunity life is not recognized until death or removal. Then when we look back over the past we can see all at once, as in a picture, just what our neighbour stood for. And so it is, as we recall the events of the last seven years--we recognize clearly and most gratefully acknow- ledge your unfailing kindness, pa- tience and cheerfulness under all cir- cumstances. We all feel that though we forget many of the words you have spoken, we can never forget you as a pastor who was also a sympa- thetic friend and neighbour. We wish to express our appreciation of your family, each of whom. has won our admiration and affection by their con- stant courtesy and helpfulness. We unite most sincerely in wishing for you, Mr. Elford, many years of continued usefulness. We hope that Mrs. Elford will improve in health in her new home, and words fail to ex- press all the good wishes which will follow Florence and Elva and Glen wherever they go. You may be as- sured + of our affectionate remem- brance of you all, and of a more than cordial welcome whenever you find it possible to revisit the Scugog circuit. June 19th, 1935.
