Mr. Brown explained that the relatives of the case to which Mr. Calder reâ€" ferred had taken the remains away and had held their own burial. In this case it was the rule of the com;- mittee to allow the relatives of the deceased to pay the funeral expens- es. If the deceased had been buried by the County the expense would have been borne by the County. Mr.; Reeve Smith of Shallow Lake. read the report of the committee. of which he is chairman.

He gave an instance where he had taken up the matter of cattle [.ioisoning with the Depart- ment. of Agriculture. which Other- wise might have been neglected. The Board now proposed to organize a better stuck campaign througl’iout the County. and each member is supposed to assist in this matter.
