However, I have found in the intervening months in my position as Warden, that there was a lot of things I had not been acquainted with in connection with the operation of county government. . I am very proud to represent 'these United Counties, which are recognized as one of the prime Counties in the province, and especially in this Centennial Year, it makes a very busy re- sponsibility, but one that I am thoroughly enjoying. As was the case in former years, the budget has increased again this year and represents an expenditure of approximate- ly $3,400,000. I am pleased to say that due to the increase in assessment of $2,750,000, it was only necessary to increase the county mill rate by .04 of a mill.

Contrary to Section 234(3) of the Municipal Act, Council did not inspect the surety bond on the Clerk-Treasurer prior to February 15, 1966. opinion the surety bond coverage should be increased. "AUDITOR'S OPINION ~ for the future of this part of | 3 -- the County System; rather they" -- portation and location, I can see nothing but rapid expansion of Ontario, the higher levels of government will never abolish will add more and more res- ponsibilities to the county level of government. I feel it is at the grass roots level we get our best gov't. This has been exemplified during the past few years by the new legisla- tion enabling Counties to inau gurate county assessment, coun- ty welfare, county planning, re. gional jails, county school - "boards, ete. 'These Counties are . experien- 'cing rapid growth. With the efforts of the enterprise people who reside within their bound- aries, the good farms, indus- tries, recreation facilities, trans: population, industry, and oppor- tunity for this area. THIS IS MY COUNTY! My county is the place where my home is found, where my business is situated and where my vote is cast. It is where' my children are educated, where my neighbors my civic loyalty. dwell, where my life is chiefly lived. It is the home spot for me. My county has the right to It supports me and I should support it. My county wants my citizen- ship, not my partisanship; my friendliness, not my dissension; my constructive suggestion, but not my destructive criticism; my -intelligence, not my indif- ference. My county supplies me with protection, trade, friends, edu- cation, churches, schools, and the right to free moral citizen- ship. It has some things that are better than others: the best things I should seek to make better; the worst things I should help to improve. Take it all-in-all, it is my county and it is entitled to the "best there is in me. --Lions Gate Times. 1 hope that in the future as has been experienced in the - past, our ablest persons will take their place and offer their services to the municipalities by coming forward -as candidates for municipal school boards and councils, The future of our country will depend on the calibre of these people. In closing I might just say again, how proud I am to repre- -gent these Counties as your Warden at all the various func- tions in which the Counties are involved. I will do my utmost to uphold the heritage and re- spect that these Counties pre- 5 sently merit.| We hereby report that in our opinion: _1.The financial transactions which-have come under our notice have been within the powers of the municipality. 2. The audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructions of the Department of Municipal Affairs.
