S'I'RET,-BARRlE, ONT. . ]NewZusin;s for 1929 breaks all former records. sight of an expenditure of nearly a million dollars annually. Enumerating some of the items, His Honor showed how $135,000 was required- for pro- vincial highways and $221,623 for county roads last year-an enormous sum for roads to be met by the tax- payer. It behooved the councillors to go carefully with future road construc- tion. They should not let themselves be carried away with an enthusiasm for good roads. Children's Aid, moth- ers allowances, hospitals and old age pensions take about $100,000 but he believed these expenditures were heartily approved by the people. These showed the inuence of christianity upon the people of this country in marked contrast to Russia where gross cruelty and crime are perpetrated in the name of liberty. In conclusion,` Judge Wismer made reference to the death of his colleague, Judge Donald Ross. . .2- Remarkable progress was achieved by the London Life in;1929, the Company s `55th year of Public Service.

Chas. Gratrix .paid _tribute to the personnel of the county council. He could not wish for a ner body of men to serve with. A brief reference was made to expenditures on the county road system. There was a roads over- draft last year and some were inclined to blame it on the roads commission. This was not correct. .Designation of special work on urban roads after the appropriation had been set was largely responsib1e-`-somethlng that the coun- cillors would do -well to keep in mind. Mayor Mccuaig, closely associated with Mr. Creswicke in municipal af- fairs for the past ve years, assured the members that if Mr. Creswicke gives as efficient service as warden as in the town council. those who elected him would have no regrets. It was an honor to Barrie to` have the warden- ship, an honor that the county town has not enjoyed since A. C. Garden held that office in 1910. V/`arden s Thanks His Worship thanked the members for electing him._It -was a high honor to be picked from a- council of fty. His earnest endeavor would -be to pro- mote the interests of the county and he bespoke the co-operation of his colleagues. He thanked the represent- atives of the Ministerial Association for the part they had taken in the pro- ceedings and also Judge Wismer for his offices and kind words. Mr. Cres- wicke said he would have something to say on`county aairs later in-the. nnaninn would fill the office with credit to himself and to the county. nu.-. r-;....o..u .-mu-I 4.-Wm!-.3 1-n thp _.__h,_ _ __ _____-_._, The Executive of the Barrie Presby- U terial met in the lecture hall of St. Andrew's Church on Tuesday, Jan. 21.] Mrs. Swallow of Stayner, president, occupied the chair and the meeting opened by the singing of a hymn while several ladies took part in the` prayers. `Mrs. McMartin read the re- port of the last meeting which was duly adopted. As this was the last meeting for the year there was much important business to be discussed. Several reports were given during the morning session and after luncheon (kindly prepared and served by the ladies of the congregation) the work was renewed. Very satisfactory results were indicated by the various reports.

Mrs. Nolan of Collingwood, after giving the treasurer s report, which showed a balance on the right side, intimated her intention to resign the office. After eight years as treasurer Mrs. Nolan felt, on the grounds of in- different health, that someone else should take over the work of treasur- er.

Warden Sworn In After administering the oath of of- ce to the warden, His Honor Judge Wismer spoke briefly.
