For some time W. S. Ellis has been raising these long, silky wooled anim- als and has lately been selling all he could spare for breeding stock. Mr. Ellis took the wool from a number of the matured rabbits and last week sold it. At the price received for the wool, $9 a pound. Sandy says Angoras are a good investment for this crop alone, but the skins are good sellers in the fur market. 15.. II____I___ 1-u.:-...I._ 7n........LI. A... ..l I IILKII new on Monday.

Turning to township affairs, he said he had been accused of being too stingy. He would never be a party to throwing money away. Referring to the mistakes made by the treasurer, Reeve Denney said no money had been lost and none found. The matter had been explained by the treasurer. De- puty-Reeve Bell had moved to increase the trea_surer's salary $50 and to re- duce the bond from $15,000 to $10.- 000. 11-- ___-..-.I 3...-..- ' 1 Christmas market prices at New- market were as follows: chickens 28?- 35. ducks 28, turkeys 40-45. butter 45, eggs 55, potatoes 75c-$1.00. VVVI Discovered Errors Deputy-Reeve J. H. Bell, after ac- knowledging that county matters had been well covered by the Reeve, plung- ed immediately into the discussion of errors that had been discovered in the treasurer s reports, premisingi his re- marks, however, with the statement that what he had to say was not in- tended personally. He said that he had not been'three months in coun- cil before he discovered that they had paid out $1.200 more money than they had it the books were correct. At the end of 1926 although the books showed only $2,232.19 or taxes due there were paid in during the next three months a` total of $7,340. As a new member. yuan . K As far as the township roads were concerned, they had taken $16,000 and were never worse, due to the excessive rains. A big bridge had been built at the Fishery at a cost of $1,600. A lot of good permanent work had been done in recent years. In the six years he had been in county cguncil, Mr. Denney said, he had never missed a session, except one to attend a fun- eral, and had never been absent from a committee meeting. rrI.......a...._ 4...

I u aa3`Esi5a::ANcE_ A BIG FINE he let the thing rest for a. year and at I the next election being returned by acclamation did not think it necessary to bring it up. In January the Reeve and he were appointed to secure an outside man to make an independent audit. This was done. The result was that instead of a decit of $212.63, there was found a surplus of $2,963.40. As examples of inaccuracies in the nancial statements, Mr. Bell showed that on December 31, 1925, the bal- ance was given as $'7,04-8.24, while the following day, January 1, 1926. it was shown as $1,023.85. The same sort of thing was seen the following year with $5,466.28 on Dec. 31, and $3,829.40 on Jan. 1, while the disparity between the gures on Dec. 31, 1924 and January 1, 1925, was $6,650.70. Some had sug- gested that the less said about this thing the better, but he believed in keeping things out in the open and trusting the people. It was not a pleasant duty to take this matter up but he believed it his duty, fullling his declaration when taking oice, to be watchful of the people's interests and to see that the business was pro- perly carried out. In conclusion, he said, The Treasurer will tell you that the gures I have quoted are correct." They are, replied Mr. Lowrie. Not 8. Nickel Lost I m responsible, I made the mis- takes and I rectified them," declared R. F. Lowrie. treasurer, when called upon by the chairman. The discre- pancies at the year-end were account- ed ror by the fact that the year's bus- iness was not closed with the calen- dar year but was left open until the rst__ meeting of the new council. though it might be understood that the balance shown in the statement was on Jan. 1st. "I don't blame any- one but myself," he continued, _and I have straightened the thing myself- If I am put out I shall be glad to give my successor the benefit of my exper- ience. Mr. Bell and I are good friends. He came to my house and we checked up together. I appreciate what he has done. I take the responsibility, but I would emphasize the fact that Essa has not lost one nickel by my mis- Onnn '9 W. J. O. Boake. who was in charge of the mrngrove road district. Said he was not in favor or having the town- ship divided into four parts for roads expenditures. It created too much ri- 1-Hllixnnna zxmumen "Doesn't Like Road System One million owners know the special advan- tages of the Super-Six. They are best quali- ed to compare the Essex the Challenger.

But all motordom must be astounded that even with seventy-six notable improvements; the price is the lowest in Essex history-a price but little above the lowest-priced car on the market. valry and placed too large a burden on one man s shoulders. He believed the whole council should drive over the township with the supervisor and plan out the work to be done during the year. He was not in favor of put- ting gravel on the roads in November or of dumping a load at each man s gate to win favor, but of doing a fair stretch at once-the latter being much more economical and satisfactory. Road work should be done in June `and July. Taking up the nancial statement, he said there had never been a word in council reecting upon the integrity of anyone and the effort to correct the errors had been made in good spirit. As far as, responsibility was concerned, it resited with the council, which is appointed by the ratepayers to look after their busi- ness. He could not understand mem- bers of council knowing of errors and not trying to set them right. Person- ally, he had tried to act conscientious- ly and independently and never with an eye to smooth sailing. Wants Gov t. to Pay More I Long hauls of gravel and numerous bridges made Essa s roads costs heav- ier than in many townships, said Norman Coxworth. The only relief he could see would be to get higher provincial grants for specially burden- ed townships like Essa. He hoped to see the assistance increased to 40 per cent. The people certainly must be given some relief from the burden of taxation. The Government is getting tremendous revenue from the natural resources of the province. He thought it up to the Government to assume {all the cost of provincial highways and increase the general road subsidy to 40 per cent. Pressure should be ex- erted on the Government to show it that it should build the highways out of the wealth of the province and not out of the working man s pocket. Re- ferring to the expenditures of the township the speaker said he defied anyone to show that one dollar had been improperly spent with his know- ledge. He favored an audit but was satised that there was nothing real- ly wrong. Mr. Boake had tried to give the impression that he had been sat on by the rest of the council. This was not`so. `Any good measure pre- sented by him, the speaker had sup- I-snowfall - Ernest Morrison, who had been 9. member of the council for several you; win -an-_.vu~ Lt.-Col.
