Williams, Bditor. 1S Phone 703, Al Departments STATE COUNTY HOME LACKS FIRE PROTECTION Council | Members Believe Home Is A "Death Trap" e proceedings ngs of the Ontarto |, " Gony Council, meeting for their June session in Whitby all this week, a dealt mainly with a dis cussion on oe lack of adequate . ire protection shortage sary help at the Ontario County Home for elderly persons. The discussion ree following an out- burst by Reeve Wilmot Bain, of Scott Township, who intimated that in his opinion there was a great danger of a disastrous fire at the County Home because of insufficient supervisory help during the night. Mr, Bain told council that the Home was entirely without the serv- ices of a hight caretaker and a night nurse and that a survey of the rooms at the home indicated a great fire danger. He added that he believed the Home was more or less serving as & ground for elderly residents of the county and that to him it appeared Ls though - the younger genera dans want to be bothered with Dept y Reeve D. B. McIntyre, of y, stated to Council that it was a "shame to Pu 130. Siders 'persons in the building le no fire protection." He added that if a fire started at the Home and an investigation developed the County of Ontario would be in a position to be "thoroughly ashamed of themselves." He added that the first indication of the existing con- ditions at the Home that he re- ceived was on the Friday evening who were badly crippled with old age. He added that he couldn't see how many of them would get off the third floor and that in his esti- mation many of them would be burned to death. Speaking in his capacity as a commissioner of the Home, Reeve Duffy said that constant appeals for help of the Home had gone un- answered and he suggested that all 24 councillors should wrack their brains in an effort to think of someone who would be suitable as a nurse or watchman and who would accept the position at the Home. Mr. Duffy said that in his esti- mation a caretaker and a night nurse were definitely needed at the Home and that it was not the fault of the inmates that they were in the Home and that "we should be men enough to see that they are looked after." Reeve Andrew Muir of Whitby told Council that four men are hired as guards at the county jail to prevent. the escape of convicts and to provide protection against a fire breaking out in the jail. He said that he felt the Home was just as important if not more so and he believed that adequate protection at the Home should be provided. Warden Thomas H. Harding told Council that the matter was first brought to his attention last Fri- day evening and He reminded the commissioners: that it was their duty to look after the County Home the members of the County Council if anything happened as a result of this condition.
