Richardson, G. B. VVelton J. O. Dargivel and A. Down. Each of the councillors gave an ac- count of his office during the past year and the report oi their work showed that they were very car?ful with tha people's money. Mr. Rich ardson gave a splendid report of the condition of tha Flesherton Hydro Commission of which he is secretary and showed it to be in a very flour- ishing condition with assets over lia- bilities of $3,170.67. Mr. McCauley the Rteve for the past three years gave an account of his activities at County Council and also as a member of the Road Committee. Mr. Mc- Cauley's report was similar to thai delivered by Mr. John A. Davis Rei.ve of Artemesia, who spoke at the Artemesia nomination in the after- noon. , At years ol age, if they cannot pay, are supported by the county in which they resid.'J The net cost for the county for in- digent patients in hospitals amounte<; to $7,000. He also informed tht gathering- that at present there are "07 old age pensions in force with 23 yet to be dsalt with. The total number of applicants for Old Age Pensions in Artemesia numbered 61; 56 were passed, five refused, 1 ean- -•elletl, one withdrawn, 16 have since died, two are yet to be dealc with and o6 are now receiving support fiom old age pensions. It might be said here that Mr. Davis was the chair- man of the Old Age Pension Board in Grey and also that Mr. Meldruni was chairman of the -Agricultural Committee, honors seldom given ti- any municipality in any one year. The total debenture debt of ths County of Grey amounts to $625,000 with a sinking fund of 8225,000 in- Mr. John Pedlar of town acted as, vested in good securities.

Mr. Ped- lar said that his property had become more valuable but that his taxes had not been raised and that this year he had paid nine dollars less taxes than in any year since he had moved into town. He wishsd that the School "Prustecs were required to give an account of their work at this meeting as they had the dispensing of more money than the Council had.

Those mentioned above v.'ere nom- inated for the 1935 Council of tht Township of Artemesia at the nom- ination meeting held in the town hal. Flesherton, on Friday atternoon of last week. Mr. Cairns and Mr. Clark retired and an election was not need- ed in Artimesia. The meeting was not very well attended due. no doubt, to the satisfaction with which the council gave to ratepayers of the township during the year. Mr. R. 1). Meldrum of Portlaw was an efficient chairman for the meeting. -All the members of the Cou-ncil gave splen- did acc3unts of the work accomplish- ed in each of their divisions and how the money wa.^ expended. The speech of Reeve John -A. Davis was of particular interr-et to rate- payers, as he dealt with matters vvr tainins to the County affaii-s. He stated' that criminal justice expenses were mounting fast in the county and in the past year $22,000 was spent for this item, an increase ol about $3,000. Education also is a gieat drain on the public purse, last year the cost amounting to $«>, OOO, ma<ie un largely through grants including payments to schools foi County high school and continuat=.'.r school pf.pib. Mr. Davis also said that consielerablc money was swnt on the County buildings at Orren Sound wHch were old ard in need of con- oid, rable repair. C al for hentin? was a considerable item as 125 tor.' were needed in a year. The H->U£c Pf Refuge cost the county the n«t sumj There are ten pensioner' , The work of the County Road Com- mittee was also discussed by Mr. Davis who gave the information that the total spent on the county system amounted to S75,"J27, with a reliel subsidy from the Provincial Govern- ment of $25,344, leaving the net ex- penditure by the County of 850,582. With the special relief subsidy the Road Committe2 was able to com- olcte many of the neadod impiove- ments in the road system that wen. a benefit to all those u.-iing the roads Suburban roads were around the city c Owen Sound v.-hich pays 25 pel cent cf the amount spent, the same as the County, while the Provincial Government assumes the remainder The total amount spent on these roads was $23,970, leaving the share for the County of $5,922.50. j H. -A. McCauley, Reeve of Flesher- ton was at the meeting and was re- quested to make a few remarks. The meeting was a very orderly one. the ratepayers apparently not finding much fault with the w'ork of the Council members during the year. In his address Mr. Whittaker dealt with the difficulty of .finding suit- able material in his div. for road work as sand was of no use- to maintain a load. He felt that a crushing plant should be set up and stock piles furn- ished for the road oversesi's to spread on the roads. The two nominees, Messrs. Cairns and Clark, both stated that they would not make an ek'ction, so the old council was returned by accla- niatien. Politics la Osprey .Municipal iwlitics in Osprey Town- ship are commencing to warm up even though there is a month to go before the- nomination takes place All of last year's Council will either be resigned at the end of the year or else will be seeking higher houorB. -Mr. John Stephen has been in the Council for the past several years and will contest the election for the of- fice of Reeve, to replace Warden AV. L. Taylor, who is finishing with muni- cipal politics this year after a long and honorable career. Mr. Stephen will have as his opponent .Mr. John Lockhart, who also has had several jeai-s of council experience. It L« exp.eu'd that Mr. Wm. H-^itman will also make an attempt to gain recog- nition a-s Reeve. This will make a three-cornered fight with the winnci a matter of doubt. For Deputy- Reeve two members of the 19-34 coun- cil have announced that they will be in the field, these being Messrs. .Arn- old Hutchinson and L. O. .Moore, the latter this spring taking the place of .Albert Wilton, who moved out of the Township. Both of these men have had considerable experience in council work and either one would serve well as Deputy-Ree-ve. Thi<= leaves Mr. Thos. Beatty as the last member of this year's council, and he has announced that he will no! seek any municipal honors this year so an entirely new council will havt to be elected. For these three pos- itions it is likely that .Mr. Geo. Mc- Donald of Melntyre will seek a pos- ition therein and only two more pos- itions need to be filled. Will there be competitors for these offices and whom will they be?
