ORMISTON NNUAL REPORT OF SURGEON OF THE HOUSE OF REFUGE Inmates Well Cared For-- Death of Matron Is Regretted (By Staff Reporter) The care that is accorded those who ure no longer able to take care of themselves was again brought to the attention of the coutity council yesterday, when Dr. C. F. McGillivray, medical superintendent of the House of Re- fuge, presented his annual report for the consideration of the mem- bers. Dr, McGillivray, in his report, stated that there were now fifty- seven persons at the refuge being taken care of by the county, Seven- ty-saven had been taken care of during the past year, of whom 10 had died and 10 had been dis- charged. Dr. McGillivray drew the attention of the council to the fact that the number of those being taken care of at the present time was about the average for the per- fod of years that the refuge has been open. He also sald that the death rate was in the same pro- portion. Dr. McGillivray in the presenta- tion of his report, took the oppor- tunity of expressing his deep re- gret at the passing of Mrs, (Dr) Lavery, wife of the superintendent 'of the House of Refuge with whom he had been associated for the last twenty-three years. Mrs. Lavery, who was housekeeper and matron of the institution had great business ability, Dr. McGillivray sald, being ready to fill any posi- tion. She as a tactful mediator, being beloved by all the inmates and looked up to as a friend and counsellor, The filling in of an 61d well and cistern near the house had re- moved a grave menace to the safety of the old people, while the installation of a fracture bed had aided greatly in aiding the physic- fan in taking care of the inmates who might be Injured in falls, Dr. McGillivray warned the members of the council against heeding any rumours concerning the quality of the food served to the inmates. The food was the most wholesome, and nutritious obtainable. The menu was varied snd the meals well prepared age serted Dr. McGillivray, Things may not be good in Can. ada, but they are infinitely better than in Australia.--Toronto Globe. WILL PROHIBIT DUMPING RUBBISH ON COUNTY ROADS : County Council Takes Step to Deal With Careless Picnicers (By Staff Reporter) Those negligent picnicers who in future seek the quiet highways of the county during the summer months and leave a trail of waste paper and other rubbish behind them, are in fu- ture liable to find themselves facing a fine for their negligence, A by-law passed by the county. council yester- day introduced this new legislation to the books of the county. The motion which was introduced by Albert W. Jackson, reeve of Whit- by, stated that the county would in future prohibit the throwing, placing or depositing of ay dirt, filth, paper, glass or other rubbish on the high- Nays or bridges under the jarisdic: tion of the county. The by-law also provided for a fine of $50 (exclusive of costs' for violators of the said by- law, 'I'he council expressed its opinion of the value of the by-law by giving it its regulation three readings in re~ cord and it was passed without a dis- senting voice, 'There is no doubt bat that legislation of this nature has long been nceded. One hay only tu take a short motor trip along the more populous of our county. roads to see that the beauty of the scenery is being greatly marred by the whole- sale dumping of refuse and the acre- less broadcasting of picnic papers, and unsightly sandwich boxes. There would be quite a number who take a little more care in the collection and disposal of all waste materials if they realized that they were liable to a fine. Old Age Pensions The report of the Old Age Pen- sions Board of Ontario County as resented by the chairman, Robert hon reeve of Port Perry, showed that during the period be- tween November 29th, 1930 and Jan: vary 27th, 1931, three meetings of 'he board met with the heads of the Pen- sion Board in Toronto. At the three meetings held in the county a total of fifty-nine applications were dealt with, During the same period 14 pen- sioners were removed from the roll through death. Money By-laws Provision was made to obtain money by temporary loans for the purpose of carrying on the work of the coun cil until the receipt of the taxes for the 'current year, and also to obtain money to carry out the construction of highways according to schedule The amount of the loan in the first case was not to exceed $100,000 while that of the latter was not to exceed $75,000, ' CHIMNEY FIRE g The accumulation of soot and dirt was the cause of a chimney fire which occurred at the home of A.

H. Philp, reeve of Brock Township, was ap- pointed chairman of the committee. The motion introduced by Mr. Moore was the climax what might be termed economy rumblings that aad been circulating since the inau- guration of the new council, © The motion which Mr. Moore sponsored was worded thus: "Resolved, that this council pledge itself to a ctrict policy of economy. To implement this a special commit. tee composed of the chairmen of all committees bring in a report' stating hay savings can be affected." r. Moore, in introducing the mo- tion, stated that'in his opinion it was a business-like way to arrive at a pol- icy of economy, His purpose in have ing the chairman of the standing committees as members of the special committee was that these men were conversant with the expenditures of their particular departments. In that way they could see where savings might be made and bring in u report to the committee which in turn would discuisy the proposed reductions, The special committee would then report to the council, The Salary Cut Motion Mr. Moore then went on to dis cuss the details of a notice of mo- tion that had been introduced by Mr. Philp, in which Mr, Philp had pro- posed a cut of 10 per cent, in the salaries of county officials, and also in all expenditures. Mr. Moore as- serted that such a motion would be disastious. A large number of ex- penditures were not controlled by the county, Mr. Moore stated, so that it would be an unwise and unbusiness. like move in the part of the council, As for cutting the salaries of the county officials, Mr, Moore stated that they would not be able to fill the places of the officials now serve ing the county at the salaries now paid and that it would tend to inef- ficiency through the lose of faithful servants. Mr. Philp, in replying to Mr, Moore, stated that the motion as in« troduced would get the council no- where in the way of economies and charged that it dodged the real issue and challenged Mr. Moore to show that his motion would get results. Mr, Philp pressed his point by stating that almost every business man in the county to-day, has had to take a cut of from twenty to thirty per cent, Such motions as that just presented had been brought up at past meetings of the council in years gone by but had done nothing to reduce the ex- penditures of the county, Mr. Philp thought that Mr. Moore was out of touch with the taxpayer who = was protesting to-day as he never had ha fore, against the heavy taxes he had to pay. A, Ww. Jackson, reeve of Whitby, in support of the motion, stated that he was proud to be its seconder as he felt that there was not a man in the council Lut wanted economy and the curtailment of expense. The mo- tion was explicit asserted Mr, Jack- san and would bring ou. from each committee sugestions that would be submitted to the council for consid- aration, SIR THOMAS LIPTON MAKES LARGE GIFT IN MOTHER'S MEMORY London, ~8ir.
