I would here call the attention of this Council to the report of the County Auditors, in which they rec- ommend that the salary of the County Treasurer be increased 'so that he can engage adequate assist- ance in his constantly increasing duties. I would recommend that the Finance Committee deal with this "matter at tnss session. For many years the County has not looked as well as it does at the pres- out time, and all indications point to an abundant cr0p It is a mattei for congratulation that; oura Province, The County Treasurer will submit a statement showing the adjustment of accoutns between the County and City: of Owen Sound for the year tar.“ So far, the agreement has \\1 rkwi out \ery satisfactorily and \\i ‘ihin t any friction. In the estimates which will be presented bv the Countx Treasurer, \ou “ill note that he has now suf- fieient funds to retire Debentures for $15,000 issued under By -la\\ 660 for the. erection of the House of Ref- uge. Asthese Debentures do not mature until January 1, 19:25, it will make a saving of Sinking Fund and Interest of $1,125 each year for the next. two years. The Council, went to Flesherton -on Tuesday to the opening of ~ the Flesherton memorial park. They werejthe guests of the ladies of Flesherton at dinner. In the after- noon they attended the opening cer- demonies. Last year was the first year in which the County was callecl upon to meet their expense (Mothers’ Al- lowances Commission), the amount paid being over $4,000. This year, it will be necessary to raise over $7.000 to meet our obligation in that respect- and I am sure we shall willingly pay any extra levy 'which may be necessary for that purpose. As shown by the statements for- wanted to the Department. of High- ways. the expenditure on County Roads for 1921. including Urban grants, was $383,972.07. and on Sub- urban Area Roads 353312.83. It will be necessary it’ the same ratio. of expenditure prevails for the current year..to raise further sums either by increasing the annual levy, or by a l'urt her Bond issue, or in the event of this not being done the expendiâ€" tures for this year 'will have to be materially curtailed. This is a mat- ter which I would recommend to the Committees in charge of these de- partments. I undorstaml that the special'com- mittee on Reforestation will present a report at this session recommend- ing action along this line. All of our sinking funds are in- \ested in secmities of the highest standing, and at profitable rates of interest. The June session of Grey County Council opened Monday night, June 19, at 7 o’clock. The minutes of the last fneeiing were Confirmed and some accOunts and communications read. The Warden’s Address was read by the 'Clerk, I would like to compliment the members. of these two committees for their energy in prosecuting this work. I understand that the miss- ing connection on the Meaford Road will be practically completed within the next month. I an glad to note that the County Promrty Comml ee have seen fit to renovate and paint the outside Wood work of the Courthouse. Which has very materially added to its appear- ance. a I am very pleased, indeed, to wel- come you to our June session and to express the hOpe that you have , all enjoyed the‘best ’of health since our January meeting. ~- I trust that you will consider both these snbjects very carefully and'I wuuld again call your attention to the fact. that it is absolutely neces- sary that our expenc‘litures be‘ kept within the amount. raised each year. Among the various subjects that will come before you will be the Equalizing of the Assessments of the different municipalities of the County and the levying of a suffi- cient rate to meet the current ex- penses for the year 1923. As ynu will see by the Auditors’ Statements for the year 1921, our un- controllable expenditures have in- creased very materially and addi- iinual funds will have to be provided to meet these amounts. The Warden’s Address. Owen Sound, June 19, 1922. Gentlemen of the County Council: It was a matter of regretlhat our colleague, John W. Tyson, Deputy Reeve of Collingwood, was unable to be present with us on account of illâ€" mess. I am sure we all trust, he has fully recovered and that he will be with us at this time.

Fleming, who ‘ is in command of the Grey Regiment 3now at Camp at Rockclifi‘e Rifle LRanges addressed the Council, ex- ,tending the members an invitation to visit the camp. He explained’that the camp is ideally situated and told the Councillors that. they would be made very welcome.’ Duringtheir visit a shooting match between the Countv Council and the regiment of- fiCers is to be. arranged.

They amounted to a grand total of $113,725. The estimated eXpendi- ture for the remainder of the year was also presented and this was a most favorable report, showing that there is likely to be over $76,000 which can be applied to the cost of County rbmis.

The re-adjustment of accounts between the'county and the city of Owen Sound showed that $23,015.96 had been paid by Owen Sound, ac- cording to the agreement, toward the cost of County Roads and Sub- urban Areas. The estimates for the remainder of the year Show tha‘t about $76,850 may be diverted toward the pay- ment of the accounts owed by the Gued Roads committee; The Secretary of theaGeneral and Marine. Hospital, Owen Sound, wrote a'sking that the Council continue their annual grant of 81,000 toward the expenses of the hospital. In conclusion, Gentlemen, I am sat- isfied that you will give your earn- est and careful attention to the busi- ness of the County which will come before you. best informed that we are entering on a period of prosperity.‘ At the January Session a resolu- tion was passed that the County Council inspect the Valley Road and the Eugenia Road before the June Session. As Warden of the County I have accepted for the members of this Council an invitation from the ladies of Flesherton to attend the opening 01" the Flesherton Memorial Park ahd be their guests at dinner to-morrow, and I would suggest that the Council attend in a body and at the same time inspect the roads mentioned. Yours faithfully, \ ROBERT HOWEYI, W‘xardenl Says Owen Sound Paper. Friday’s Daily Sunâ€"Times says: “Last night’s session of the County Council was only interesting as a verbal brawl and it seems as that body cannot meet without personal- ities being bandied about. In a dis- cussion over the Good Roads Com- mittee report there was a clause that suggested' the removal of the road making gang to some other part of the cOunty when the boundary of Glenelg was reached. The Reeve of Glenelg, Archie McCuaig, a hard- headed Scotchman, asked Mr. Calder if that clause had been put in .by calder or by the committee. Mr. Calder refused to recognize the (mes;- tion unless Mr. McCuaig would apol- ogize for statements made at a pm;. Durham Hospital Gets $500 Grant. The grant to the Owen Sound Gen- eral and MarineHospit'al was cut to 8500 at the meeting of the Connicl on Thursday night and a grant ‘was made to the Durham Hospital of a like amount.

The bridge in question is on the town line between Sullivan and El- derslie, opposite Lot 8. The report recommended that the Council pro- ceed with. the building of a new bridge. Reeve Sing moved the Council into a committee of the whole. He Said he and the Warden had inspected the bridge and he had found there was no need of a bridge. The Road and Bridge committee had been an- thorized to repair it at a cost of $500. The Warden said the chi bridge was rotten, in a dangerous condi- tion and should be entiiely rebuilt.
