The motion came as a result of charges laid at the January â€" session of the Council by High County Conâ€"‘ stable Harry Noble, Provincial Pol-} ice Officer of Owen Sound that the present personnel of the County con-:l stabulary was inefficient and obso-; lete. He recommended at that time a move of reâ€"organization be start-i ed. It was the opinion of the clerks of these townships that something should be done to save the forests and the water supply which was a _matter of concern in most of them. i Representatives had attended the \annual meeting of the conservation and reforestration committee at" Orâ€" angeville and had gained much inâ€" formation of value there. Motion: that the Crown Attorney obtain the resignation of all the County Constables in the County of Grey received unanimous approval of the Grey County County at their closing session on Saturday morning, and it is expected that this, the first step in a move to reorganize the police system of the county, will beâ€" gin at and early date. _ The motion was brought in by Reeve D. J. Macâ€" Donald of Bentinck, and was secondâ€" ed by Reeve Jack of Proton. 4 Co. Constab‘es to Resign; Co.

The committee had endorsed the resolution of the Kent County Counâ€" ty Council on advocating a lower cost of chemical weed killers. The agricultural committee recomâ€" mended that a Branch of the Ontario Inmprovement Association _ be orâ€" ganized, the _ personnel of _ which should be the agrieultural commitâ€" tee of the County Council, and that the county crop improvement project be submitted to the council at the June session, and if approved, be submitted to the provincial associaâ€" ton for ratificaton . in Markdale, now $80,000 be lowered to $70,000 as the present figure was deemed too much. It also stated that negotiations for the installation of a new â€" refrigeration system had been completed and that a cold storâ€" age plant had been constructed by the Eureka Refrigerator plant â€" of Owen Sound, at a cost of $702.80, after tradein allowances had been made on the old equipment. This new system had become a necessity through the increasing difficulty â€" of procuring ice. The work of the Grey County Home committee was outlined in an extensive report brought in by Reeve Albert Rusk, chairman of that committee. This report recommendâ€" ed that the insurance carried on the Home, contents, barn and â€" livestock, The report of the education comâ€" mittee, brought in by Reeve W. S.
