R. chenzie Born In Townshif He Represents in County Connci. â€"01 Highland Scotch Parentage. 'l‘honias Robertson McKenzie. Reeve of the Township of Artemesia. who was elected on Tuesday after- noon to the honorable position of Warden of the County of Grey for 1925. is ’3 years old. but. is just as young in spirit as any other member of the County Council. He was born in the Township of Artemesia. and is the son of the late George and Helen McKenzie. who came to Ar- temesia direct. from Aberdeenshire. Scotland. and were among the early settlers. \Varden McKenzie’s old time home was in what is common-‘ ly known as the Orange Valley, but he now lives in the eastern part of the township. where he is the owner of a splendid lOO-acre. farm. and op- erates another 100 acres, which he rents. He has had ‘21 years of mu- nicipal experience. and for 17 years has been a member of the County Council. He missed being in the Council in 1921 but came back the next year. and still has the confi- dence of the good people of the Township of Artemesia, whom he has served so faithfully. Since he has been in the Council. he has twice been chairman of the finance committee, twice chairman of the ‘warden‘s committee. chairman of ’the. educational committee and of Eseveral special committees. and de- clined some other chairmanships. He is thoroughly conversant with municipal matters. both local and general. knows conditions With re- gard to county affairs. has had suf- flcient business experience to enable him to conduct the business of the County in a capable manner, cour- teous as a presiding officer. and should prove to be an ideal War- den in everv respect. Warden McKenzie: is a. Presbyter- ian in his religious affiliations. and for the last 25 years has been clerk of the session of Chalmers Presby- terian Church at Flesherton.

All {erred and the confidence you bnve the members were present for the so generously reposed in gun by et- Iowan. . eptlns me to the responsible pomâ€" Mr. John Parker, the Treasurer of tnon of Warden of thus, our beloved the County of Grey, was present, and n- ______ County. I can ensure you that the honor is fully nppreonnted and thnt the residents of old .Artemeeia will mute wnth me in accepting the honor ergtefully._ A __ - ' I trust' that no action of mine or neglect of duty during the year Will lead you to regret your choice. I yvould respectfully urge upon the various Committees the utmost im- portance of keeping within the amounts appropriated for the sever- al Departments, consistent with the efficient administration of the Goun- ty’s aflairs. I would suggest that the County Treasurer be asked to attend and present to this Council a resume of the County’s financial standing. County and City As you are aware, the Agreement entered into betw een the County and the City of Owen Sound, under the terms of Byâ€"Law No. 945, passed at the November Session of 1920, pro- vided that this agreement should continue for five years from June 1, 1920, and thereafter from year to year unless terminated as proyided by Section 385 of the Municipal Act, 11ndc1 which the Lieutenant Goxer- nor in Council, upon the application of either airporation may direct that the existing arrangement shall cease after a day to be named and that the compensation from that day shall be settled by agreement or be determined .by arpitration._ A.- In view of the fact that the Subur- ban Area Commission would be in the. midst. of their year’s work. it would seem to me that the lOgical thing for either Corporation would he. to continue to the end of the cal- endar year, pending any alteration in the agreement. In connection with this matter, I would suggest that the County Solicitor be consulted as to the necessary procedure. Oou’nty Roads The County Roads Superintendent and the Suburban Area Commission will. no doubt. present full reports as to the work accomplished during the last year. The annual levy of twenty per cent of the cost of Provincial High- ways in the County is increasing year by year. To finance these le- vies. a permanent method will have to be devised. It. will be for you. gentlemen, to decide as to how this is to be done. whether by paying these levies out of our yearly ap- propriations and cutting down our general County Road work or by is- suing debentures to defray the cost. Education As you are all aware. the cost of education is increasing year by year. and it is a matter over which we have no control. The present Minister of Education. Premier Ferguson. has publicly an- nounced that. his Depatrhrent is con- templating radical changes in the regulations afl‘ecting nearly all classes of schools. How these changes will affect us. as yet we do not know, but we trust will he to the educational advantage of the rising generation. The House of Refuge is in first.- class condition. due. very largely to the energetic and efficient manage- ment of the Manager and Matron. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Smith. The. Debenture Debt of $15,000.00 contracted under By-Law 660, ma- tured on January ist of this year, and has been paid ofl’. leaving a handsome surplus to the credit of the Sinking Fund._ Children’s Shelter The Children’s Shelter is an in- stitution of which we are justly proud. [nder the superxision of .\ir.T10ut and the Matron. it is do- ing a work of which few of us have any conception and deserves every support which can be gix en by this Council. I would suggest that the Treasurer be instructed to credit this surplus to maintenance account. The bountiful harvest of last year with the improved prices prevailing for farm products has imbued all engaged in agricultural pursuits with renewed confidence. and with the increased co-operation manifest.- ed between the rural and urban population. a spirit of optimism pre- vails among all classes of our citizens. I feel assured. judging from the material composing your ranks. that the. utmost harmony will prevail and the spirit of fair play to all and to every Municipality may dominate all your deliberations throughout In conclusion. I would remind vou that while you have conferred upon me. an esteemed honor, you have at the same time placed on me a great responsibility. and in this connec- tion I would solicit the sympathetic co-operation of ex ery member of this Council. to the end that the various matters coming up for con- sideration may be transacted in the best interests of our citizens. the Le't us study individually and Provincial Highways House of Refuge was "A?

The report was given over to the Edu- cational Committee. This was the only communication received. The reports of several committees were read by the chairman. The Fi- nance Committee with Reeve Wm. Calder as chairman, turned in a very important report. The Hospitals of Owen Sound, Hanover and Durham were given a grant of $500 each, and theflSalyation Army in London $100. The feature of their report was the suggested equalized assessment, on nach township in the County of Grey. Reevg George Bothvgoll gave a report of the County Property Committee which included the pay- ment of a number of small hills and several other unimportant features. Reports were read also of the Print.- ing Committee, Communications and Memorial Committee. House of Ref- uge Committee and M’arden's Com- mittee. The Council went into committee of the whole to discuss the equalized assessment placed by the Finance Committee before passing it. By a few preliminary speeches. it was quite evident that there was going to be, some trouble regarding the much increased assessment which amounted to 20 per cent. The Reeve of each township was given a hear- ing as to his opinion of the assess- ment placed on his township. and although each Reeve firmly believed the assessment much too heavy. they were willing to bear the burden without a murmur if the other townships would do the. same. Others simply objected to the assessment as too high and consiiiiered that. they hadmbeenhtreateg very unfairly. After all the Reeves of the Town- ships had been heard, the repre- sentatives from the Towns in the County were heard. and as their as- sessments were. not increased as in the County. they did not kick so hard and were rather inclined to ac- cept their burden, Reeve Bothwell of Sydenham. Reeve Smith of Shal- low Lake and Lembke of Sullivan were particularly strong against their assessment. and they all want- ed large reductions. They were shown that equalization would never come if they continued to object. Mr. Bothwell was defeated easily and the report of the Finance Com- mitteey'as adopted in all its clauses.
