Mr. Harness said the hospital was doing: noble work. and while the county has money to “lend it could not do better than assist. Grants were made agricultural societies and poultry shows. and the county was getting the benefit. The lthpilal had been well mnnaged The. council of Derby made a gram of fifty dul lars. and enjoyed the privilege of Sending a pavient to the llo:~pit.ul free for a. certain time. If Holland town- ship had done the same it would not have lnad to pay {or the patient Mr. Shuts reformed to He would favor making the grant $1500. Mr. Doyle pointed out that. under the purposed arrangement. Mr. Shute would be able to Send sou)» poor sick person to the hospital for treatment for a year without clmrgv. Mr. Bell thought tho council would be running up a debt. if it went. on making these grants. \Vllile the hospital was getting liv», hundred dollars ayoar, he would make this grant as small as possible under the circumstances that a large debt was being incurred for We housv of re- fuge. There would be an outcry from all over the county if expmindimres of this kind (-omin.le{l to be made. 'Mr. Gordon strongly urged the‘ grant. The hospital was being sup-1 ported largosly by such grants and' assistance from private individuals and churches. No one met] be. afraid of the: grant embarrassing the coun- ty. There was not a county in the Dominion in better financial (‘Olltll" tion.

Mr. McArthur said under the con ditions offered he could not see why the county would not get the amount. all back It would be a. good invest. ment for the county to Spend five thousand dollars on the litnliiital, lie had visited the hospital a number of times and did not think there was a more deserving institution. It is run very economically. There was with the limited operating room a grave danger. He was in favor of assisting the hospital and having it preperly equipped. The offer made in return was a most generous one. Mr. McKinnon could hardly credit the ofier to accept a patient for each hundred dollars granted. 11' it was, he thought the proposition a most generous one, though he could not see how it would pay the hospital. The institution was worthy of the most liberal support. He knew sev- eral cases from his neighborhood where treatment was most successful and he thought that the county would be well repaid if it only got one patient. The county was in excel- lent condition financially, as on Jan. first there was over $10,000 to the credit of the council, with everything paid. Mr. Doyle concluded the discussion 1 by saying if the amount was double he would support it. A majority of the members being il’ favor of the grant. the motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Shute presented the report of the road and bridge committee. re. commending the passing of a by-law to confirm the Artemesia by-law to close up and sell certain road allow. ances, and the payment of a number of small accounts. The report was adOpted. Mr. Gordon then presented the re- port of the house of refuge committee and on motion the council went into committee, with Mr. Paterson in the chair. Mr. Gordon moved that the clauSe of the report. recommending the erection of the house of refuge on the Marsh farm. be amended by re- wommendmg that the farm be sold to the highest bidder, and that the Boyd farm he purchased and the house of reiuge be erected thereon. Mr. Gor- don went into details to show that with the water supply and other ad- vantages the Boyd site would prove a vast uving, both in the cost of erection, and the neceeeary appliances of lighting and water supply. The Boyd farm was already equipped, and it would cost an additional $1290 to put. up the outbuildings on the Marsh farm. beside the necessity of the erection of a tower and pumping plant. On the Boyd farm there was an excellent gravitation streem that; would bring it revenue from adjoining‘ premises. The dreinege of the Marsh term would enteil elerge expendi- ture, while on the Boyd term ‘the expense would be very inconsidero eble.
