The committee recom- mended a number of minor repairs to which has been in service for 40 years in the washroom of the jail will not be replaced as recommended by the grand jury, but will be repaired. A lock will be placed on the grand jury room and other repairs made. ' An"amendment to the report moved by Reeve Jackson, of Whitby, gives the Ontario Shore Gas Company the privilege to extend their mains to the House of Refuge and jail buildings. It is understood that the mains will be laid this year, but that the connee- tions to the buildings will not be made until next year. A report presented to the Council by Reeve Low, of Uxbridge, covering the period from November 1st, 1930, to October 31st, 1931, stated that the county had expended $24,604.25 in Old Age Pensions on the 20 per cent. basis. From the inmates of the House of Refuge getting pensions, the sum of $5,267.00 was received. It was stated that there were 759 pensioners on the Ontario County list at the end of the year. There were fifty-nine deaths during the period, 196 applica- tions received and 189 passed. Four were refused and one cancelled, and two held over. Thirteen meetings in all were held, while the mileage and per diem amounted to $811.66, which was stated to be a reduction of $400 over last year, due to the fact that many of the meetings were held at the home of the Secretary, Owen Davies, of Uxbridge township. A deputation from Rama township, waited on the Council asking for the improvement of a county road in the township. This road, it was said, was in terrible condition. As many people were out of work it was suggested that the road be improved now even if the money was not paid until the Road Committee. Reeve Aldred, of Scugog presented a motion which was passed unani- mously, urging the Dominion Dept. of Fisheries to re-stock Lake Scugog with bass and pickerel. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Dept. of Fisheries. A resolution from York County Council would have the Provincial Government Department of Highways equalize the taxation on account of Provincial Highways between counties and cities and separated towns.

If the number of bills presented to Council for the keep of indigents in various hospitals, more particularly Oshawa, is any criterion, then Old Man Depression has been working hard lately in the various munici- palities of the County. It took the County Clerk, R, D. Ruddy, the best part of an hour to read out accounts from hospitals far and near and from Children's Aid Shelters for the main- tenance of children. The charity ac- counts totalled over $2,000. Half of the bill will be paid by the munici- palities from which the indigents come, and the other half by the County, provided, however, that the accounts are not repudiated.

Economics, complained tht cocina could not be heard %e noise of squeak- ing councilmanic chairs. The chair- 'man of the Property Committee was instructed to put the oil can in motion. The right of a County Council to change the report of the valuators appointed by by-law to equalize the assessment for the purpose of taxa- tion of the various municipalities in the county was questioned by Gordon D. Conant, of Oshawa, Solicitor for the Township of Reach, which ap- pealed against its assessment for 1981. R. D. Ruddy, for the County of On- tario, set up that in 1926, when the Council named valuators, the latter brought in a report, agamst which an appeal was lodged and proceeded with. Then there was an agreement be- tween the various municipalities as to which amount of assessment each would assume, and Reach Township was one of the parties to the agree- ment, which had been confined ever since and renewed by Council of this year for a further five-year period. Judge Thompson suggested that the Council might at this session appoint valuators to bring in a report on a complete new valuation next year. If this was not done the appeal would have to be proceeded with. Adjournment was made for a week November 26th, at 10 a.m. In honour of the men from Ontario County who lost their lives in the Great War, and whose names appear on a handsome bronze tablet provided by the late Col. J. E. Farewell, K.C,, former County Clerk and Solicitor, and Crown-Attorney, members of the County Council at the closing session on Friday evening observed two min- utes of silence. By resolution of Council, at the November session of each year, this act of honouring the county's war dead will be observed on the day near- est to Remembrance Day when the Council meets.
